Philip Dickinson has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 9689867
    Abstract: Methods, compositions and kits are disclosed for assays to determine the binding affinity of DNA-binding proteins or RNA-binding proteins for their corresponding recognition site(s). In particular, assays are disclosed for measuring binding affinities when either the binding protein, or the recognition sequence of the recognition site, or cofactor proteins, contain one or more mutations. The disclosed assays can thus be utilized to measure the effect on transcription factor binding caused by mutations within the recognition site, or mutations within the binding domain of the protein, and to provide binding affinity information that can be correlated with altered gene regulation and expression. The disclosed assays can be personalized to a specific person or organism, with the measured binding affinities based upon an individual's specific binding proteins and recognition sites.

  • Publication number: 20070079826
    Abstract: An apparatus for delivering humidified gases has a connection manifold (8) adapted to connect with inlet (5) and outlet (6) ports of a slide-on water chamber (2) in a single slide on motion. Connection of the gases inlet (5) and gases outlet (6) ports as well as any additional electrical and/or pneumatic connections are all made in the same slide on motion. The water chamber (2) may include inwardly extending elongate extension tubes (30,31) and at least one of the extension tubes may also have an air bleed aperture (33) to aid filling of the chamber (2).

  • Publication number: 20060227811
    Abstract: A network transport layer accelerator accelerates processing of packets so that packets can be forwarded at wire-speed. To accelerate processing of packets, the accelerator performs pre-processing on a network transport layer header encapsulated in a packet for a connection and performs in-line network transport layer checksum insertion prior to transmitting a packet. A timer unit in the accelerator schedules processing of the received packets. The accelerator also includes a free pool allocator which manages buffers for storing the received packets and a packet order unit which synchronizes processing of received packets for a same connection.

  • Publication number: 20060059286
    Abstract: In a multi-core processor, a high-speed interrupt-signal interconnect allows more than one of the processors to be interrupted at substantially the same time. For example, a global signal interconnect is coupled to each of the multiple processors, each processor being configured to selectively provide an interrupt signal, or pulse thereon. Preferably, each of the processor cores is capable of pulsing the global signal interconnect during every clock cycle to minimize delay between a triggering event and its respective interrupt signal. Each of the multiple processors also senses, or samples the global signal interconnect, preferably during the same cycle within which the pulse was provided, to determine the existence of an interrupt signal. Upon sensing an interrupt signal, each of the multiple processors responds to it substantially simultaneously. For example, an interrupt signal sampled by each of the multiple processors causes each processor to invoke a debug handler routine.

  • Publication number: 20040145754
    Abstract: The present invention provides a probe for non-destructive testing of items. The probe is movable over a surface of a test item and includes a displacement sensor means for providing a displacement signal indicative of the spatial displacement of the probe over the test item as the probe is moved over the test item. The invention also provides the above-defined probe with a receiver for receiving a return signal from the non-destructive testing of the item and a non-destructive testing system comprising the probe.
