Publication number: 20240093232Abstract: The present invention provides a retroviral or lentiviral vector having a viral envelope which comprises a mitogenic T-cell activating transmembrane protein which comprises: (i) a mitogenic domain which binds a mitogenic tetraspanin, and (ii) a transmembrane domain; wherein the mitogenic T-cell activating transmembrane protein is not part of a viral envelope glycoprotein. When cells such as T-cells or Natural Killer cells are transduced by such a viral vector, they are activated by the mitogenic T-cell activating transmembrane protein.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 26, 2023Publication date: March 21, 2024Inventors: Vijay Peddareddigari, Richard Beswick, John Short, Martin Pulé, Ekaterini Kotsopoulou

Patent number: 10094087Abstract: A system for and method of stabilizing slopes and embankments using one or more soil load transfer elements are disclosed. The present subject matter provides for an efficient method and apparatus for stabilizing shallow landslides and slope instabilities for failing and near-failing soil masses that are underlain by soil materials. The system may include a plurality of load transfer plates affixed to a pile or load transfer section in varying configurations. In one embodiment, one or more upper load transfer plates are preferably used to capture the downslope-moving soil mass and transfer the applied loads to the intermediary pile section. In another embodiment, a plurality of upper load transfer plates can be used to transfer applied loads to a lower pile section.Type: GrantFiled: August 14, 2014Date of Patent: October 9, 2018Assignee: GEOPIER FOUNDATION COMPANY, INC.Inventors: Yogesh Prashar, Richard Short, Miriam Smith
