Patent number: 7516442Abstract: An improved application architecture comprises a bifurcated structure having a language neutral portion and a localizable portion, compacted for efficiency into a smaller set of larger files. This bifurcated structure allows for easier distribution and updating of the application, while the reduced set of files provides for more efficient file management. A resource manifest can be specified during the compile stage to identify elements that are language specific and elements that remain language neutral. Furthermore, additional software can be used after compilation for compacting multiple localizable elements into a single file. Such compacting software can receive inputs specifying the language specific resources which are to be compacted into larger files, and the identity of those larger files.Type: GrantFiled: October 23, 2003Date of Patent: April 7, 2009Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Wei Wu, Shenghua Ye, Julie D.

Publication number: 20080264952Abstract: An envelope is disclosed for holding gas in a lighter-than-air aircraft. The envelope includes a shell having upper and lower hemispheres. The upper hemisphere has the shape of a hemisphere of a generally oblate spheroid defined by equatorial radii and a polar radius. The lower hemisphere has the shape of a hemisphere of a generally oblate spheroid defined by equatorial radii and a polar radius. The lower hemisphere is inverted compared to the upper hemisphere. The equatorial radii of the upper hemisphere are equal to the equatorial radii of the lower hemisphere. The upper hemisphere is joined with the lower hemisphere at their respective equators. The volume of the upper hemisphere is greater than the volume of the lower hemisphere. The height of the shell is less than the diameter of the shell at the joined equators.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 27, 2007Publication date: October 30, 2008Inventor: Adam N. Chu

Publication number: 20080050399Abstract: This document describes compositions and methods for inducing an immune response (e.g., a cellular response such as a cell-mediated cytolytic immune response) to a human papillomavirus (HPV) antigen, which can be displayed by HPV or exhibited by infected cells (e.g., cells from cervical and other tumors). The HPV protein can be joined to a stress protein by chemical conjugation or noncovalently using linking moieties, or by fusion (e.g., a recombinant fusion protein). Also described are expression vectors containing sequences encoding HPV antigens and stress proteins, which can be introduced into cells of a subject or cells ex vivo. Also described are compositions that include a stress protein linked to an HPV antigen and another pharmacologically acceptable component and stress protein —HPV antigen fusions and conjugates. These compositions can be used to induce or enhance an immune response against HPV and cells that exhibit HPV antigens, including HPV-associated tumors.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 26, 2007Publication date: February 28, 2008Inventors: Lee Mizzen, N.

Publication number: 20050089841Abstract: The invention provides compositions and methods for stimulating a Th1-like response in vitro. Compositions include fusion proteins and conjugates that contain at least a portion of a heat shock protein. A Th1-like response can be elicited by contacting in vitro a cell sample containing naive lymphocytes with a fusion protein or conjugate of the invention. The Th1-like response can be detected by measuring IFN-gamma produced by the cell sample.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 6, 2003Publication date: April 28, 2005Inventors: Marvin Siegel, N.

Publication number: 20040230416Abstract: An improved operating system architecture comprises a bifurcated structure having a substantially language neutral, non-localizable portion as well as one or more localizable portions. This bifurcated structure allows for easier distribution, updating, and patching of the operating system. Methods of producing the bifurcated operating system can be applied before or after compiling of the source code. If applied prior to compiling, tags may be used to aid in bifurcation. One or more control files provide a further mechanism for influencing the destination of components in the bifurcated structure.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 12, 2003Publication date: November 18, 2004Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Shenghua Ye, Wei Wu, Frank N.
