Patent number: 11931405Abstract: A bioconjugate of an E. coli glucosylated O4 antigen polysaccharide covalently linked to a carrier protein and compositions thereof are provided. Also provided are recombinant host cells for producing the bioconjugate, and methods of producing the bioconjugate using the recombinant host cells. The recombinant host cells contain a nucleic acid encoding a glucosyl transferase capable of modifying the E. coli O4 antigen with glucose branching to produce the glucosylated O4 antigen polysaccharide. Bioconjugates of an E. coli glucosylated O4 antigen polysaccharide described herein can be used alone or in combination with one or more additional E. coli O-antigen polysaccharides to induce antibodies against an E. coli glucosylated antigen, and to vaccinate a subject against extra-intestinal pathogenic E. coli (ExPEC).Type: GrantFiled: July 28, 2022Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignees: GlaxoSmithKline Biologicals S.A.Inventors: Jeroen Geurtsen, Jan Theunis Poolman, Kellen Cristhina Fae, Pieter Jan Burghout, Eveline Marleen Weerdenburg, Patricia Ibarra Yon, Darren Robert Abbanat, Stefan Jochen Kemmler, Michael Thomas Kowarik, Manuela Mally, Veronica Gambillara Fonck, Martin Edward Braun, Maria Paula Carranza Sandmeier

Patent number: 8202548Abstract: A method of making a composition having the property of being able to store chlorine dioxide includes mixing an aqueous chlorine dioxide solution with a superabsorbent, water-soluble polymer that is substantially unreactive with chlorine dioxide and permitting a mixture formed thereby to form one of a gel and a solid composition. A method of delivering chlorine dioxide includes providing a gel or solid composition as described and degelling the gel or dissolving the solid composition to dispense the chlorine dioxide therefrom. A method of disinfecting a target such as water, wastewater, or a surface comprises delivering chlorine dioxide as above and permitting the polymer to precipitate out of the mixture. Aqueous chlorine dioxide is then recovered and applied to the target.Type: GrantFiled: July 19, 2007Date of Patent: June 19, 2012Assignee: Dharma IP, LLCInventors: Sunggyu Lee, Patricia Roberts

Patent number: 7295228Abstract: A security camera system is provided. Several video cameras operate in conjunction with an image display monitor, a user control and camera selector means whereby a target of interest may be followed. Each two cameras providing adjacent areas of coverage are operable to provide an overlay image portion at transition regions of a displayed image. Upon movement of the target of interest to a specified transition region of a currently displayed image provided by one video camera, the camera selection means is operable to select a second camera whereby to maintain target display continuity by the monitor.Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 2000Date of Patent: November 13, 2007Assignee: Roke Manor Research LimitedInventors: Patricia Roberts, Carl Stennett, Chris Harris, Ken King
