Patent number: 10564160Abstract: An improved assay is described where a surface is provided with immobilized anti-Ig antibodies rather than antigen and where specific antibody-secreting cells (ASC) are detected using soluble antigen probes containing one of several possible labels. The method gives improved sensitivity with less background and is also more representative because antigen binding does not employ immobilized antigen. The assay is particularly effective for measuring antibody secreting cells against HIV, for determining whether an infection is acute as opposed to old or latent, for mapping epitopes and for measuring for ASCs against different antigens in the same reaction.Type: GrantFiled: August 28, 2009Date of Patent: February 18, 2020Assignee: MABTECH ABInventors: Pia Dosenovic, Gunilla Karlsson Hedestam, Richard Wyatt, Staffan Paulie

Patent number: 9264139Abstract: An Optical Transport Network (OTN) method, an OTN switching node method, and an OTN node utilize a “double wrapper” configuration to eliminate clock transients in OTN networks. That is, the systems and methods bury an ODU beneath another overclocked ODU thereby eliminating any interruptions due to clock transients, framing events or other disruptions. For example, an ODU2 can be mapped into an ODU2e, an ODU3 can be mapped into an ODU3e2, an ODU4 can be mapped into an ODUG or some other overclocked variant of ODU4, and the like. Specifically, ODU2e, ODU3e2, ODUG, etc. are overclocked variants of ODU2, ODU3, ODU4, etc. The systems and methods propose to use these overclocked signals to carry standard ODU signals to eliminate clock transient problems.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2012Date of Patent: February 16, 2016Assignee: Ciena CorporationInventors: Alexander Gurd Young, Sebastien Gareau, Tim Norman, Richard Wyatt
