Patent number: 10609170Abstract: The illustrative embodiment of the present invention provides a platform that enables a content developer to distribute uniform content to multiple types of requesting mobile devices. By authoring content in a generic markup language and using the technologies included in the Mobile Content Framework (MCF), the content developer is able to provide content to multiple types devices without providing different versions of the content. The content may be authored originally in the generic markup language or translated from other languages into the generic markup language by the MCF. The MCF exploits the capabilities and accommodates the limitations of different types of wireless devices by converting generic markup language content to device-specific content. The MCF interacts with device registries holding records of the device attributes in order to provide the device-specific content. The MCF handles these issues for current mobile devices while also being extensible for future mobile devices.Type: GrantFiled: July 14, 2017Date of Patent: March 31, 2020Assignee: ACK Ventures Holdings, LLCInventors: Michelle Harris, Harry Kargman, Dan Jethanamest, Thomas Leroux, Corey Tripp, Peter Delucia, Lin Hsu, Lee Boyle, Dan Liu, George Yi, Rocio Katsanis, Evan Herbst

Publication number: 20080194006Abstract: Methods of releasing sporocysts/sporozoites from oocysts are provided wherein a solution of oocysts is subjected to controlled shear forces sufficient to rupture the oocysts walls and release sporocysts/sporozoites therefrom. A solution of oocysts is passed through a Microfluidizer® processor chamber unit under defined conditions of chamber diameter, chamber geometry, and pressure. Oocysts impact the wall of the chamber and are subjected to controlled, high shear forces, tearing open the oocyst wall and releasing the sporocysts/sporozoites intact.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 28, 2008Publication date: August 14, 2008Inventors: James Earl Hutchins, Kerrianne Wilson, Angela Hartman, Kelly Michelle Harris
