  • Patent number: 9523545
    Abstract: A weapon loading system includes a handgun that has a slide and a magazine. A panel is provided and the panel may be worn. A holder is hingedly coupled to the panel and the magazine is removably coupled to the holder. The handgun is selectively positioned on the magazine to facilitate loading the magazine into the handgun with one hand. A block is coupled to the panel. The handgun selectively engages the block when the magazine is loaded into the handgun. The block engages the slide such that the slide is racked when the handgun engages the block. Thus, the handgun may be cocked with one hand.

  • Publication number: 20160277405
    Abstract: A computer system, a computer-implemented method, and a computer program product for dynamic website instantiation. The system includes an interface component which is configured to receive from a first code reader device a first read notification indicating that a unique code is read for the very first time wherein the unique code includes a reference to a URL portion in combination with an identifier number; and to further receive from the first reader device location data indicating a particular physical location which is associated with the first read notification. Further, a generator component of the computer system is configured to generate, based on the unique code, a particular URL in relation to the particular physical location, the particular URL instantiating a website for the particular physical location. A data storage component of the computer system is configured to persist an association of the unique code with the received location data.

  • Publication number: 20100069302
    Abstract: The invention relates to a combination therapy for the treatment of tumors and tumor metastases comprising administration of integrin ligands, preferably integrin antagonists, together with co-therapeutic agents or therapy forms that have synergistic efficacy when administered consecutively with said ligands, such as chemotherapeutic agents and or radiation therapy. The therapy results in a synergistic potential increase of the inhibition effect of each individual therapeutic on tumor cell proliferation, yielding more effective treatment than found by administering an individual component alone, concurrently or not in the dosage regime of the present invention.

  • Publication number: 20070255942
    Abstract: A method of enforcing a network security policy including mandatory access control (MAC), discretionary access control (DAC) and integrity control for a secure information network, includes operating a transport guard within a memory partition logically between a protected application running in the partition and a networking stack, and defining ports for the transport guard including (i) an application port for forwarding data to and receiving data from the application, (ii) a data port for receiving data addressed to the application from the networking stack, and for sending data originating from the application to the stack, and (iii) a control port for supplying configuration data to the transport guard. The configuration data corresponds to MAC, DAC and integrity control policies specified by the network for the protected application. The transport guard limits data flow between its protected application and the data ports accordingly.

  • Publication number: 20050245508
    Abstract: The invention concerns methods of treating malignant gliomas, by administering inhibitors of TGF-? the TGF-? signaling pathway, including molecules preferably binding to the type I TGF-? receptor (TGF?-R1). Preferably, the inhibitors are non-peptide small molecules, including quinazoline derivatives. The invention also concerns methods for reversing the TGF-?-mediated effect on glioma cells to make them less refractile to signaling and other immune cells, comprising contacting a glioma cell or tissue in vivo or in vitro, with an inhibitor of TGF-?.
