Richard Bradley Jones 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: 9415070
    Abstract: The invention provides compositions and methods for delivering an agent to virally infected tissues and/or cells of a subject by conjugating agent-loaded nanoparticles to virus-specific T cells, such as cytotoxic T lymphocytes. The agent may be a latency-reversing drug (LRD), an antiviral agent and/or an agent that enhances cytotoxic efficacy of T lymphocytes.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9111212
    Abstract: A system and method is described herein for data filtering to reduce functional, and trend line outlier bias. Outliers are removed from the data set through an objective statistical method. Bias is determined based on absolute, relative error, or both. Error values are computed from the data, model coefficients, or trend line calculations. Outlier data records are removed when the error values are greater than or equal to the user-supplied criteria. For optimization methods or other iterative calculations, the removed data are re-applied each iteration to the model computing new results. Using model values for the complete dataset, new error values are computed and the outlier bias reduction procedure is re-applied. Overall error is minimized for model coefficients and outlier removed data in an iterative fashion until user defined error improvement limits are reached. The filtered data may be used for validation, outlier bias reduction and data quality operations.
