  • Concurrency object classification
    Patent number: 8135690
    Abstract: A method of automatically classifying a concurrency object includes intercepting a call that is configured to create the concurrency object. Concurrency type information for the concurrency object is identified based on the call. The type information indicates whether the concurrency object is a lock object or a synchronization object. The concurrency type information is associated with the concurrency object.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: March 13, 2012
    Assignee: Microsoft Corporation

  • Two Stage Hydrocracking Process Using Beta Zeolite for Production of LPG and Distillate Hydrocarbons
    Publication number: 20070084751
    Abstract: Increased yields of LPG and middle distillate products are obtained in a two stage hydrocracking process by the use of a catalyst containing a beta zeolite. In embodiments, the beta zeolite has not been hydrothermally treated or has been hydrothermally treated at a relatively low temperature. In another embodiment, the catalyst contains a relatively low amount of beta zeolite.

  • Regulation of smooth muscle cell proliferation
    Patent number: 5756673
    Abstract: This invention relates to agents that regulate the proliferation of cells such as smooth muscle cells. Proliferation of smooth muscle cells may be increased or decreased by affecting the activity or concentration of a transcription factor. The factor comprises two domains of about 50 kD and about 70 kD which together have an approximate molecular weight of 120 kD and specifically binds to the nucleic acid sequence 5'-GGGTTTTCCCC-3' (SEQ ID NO 2). This factor represents a novel member of the family of rel-related factors. This invention also relates to methods for the treatment and prevention of diseases and disorders associated with proliferation of smooth muscle cells such as arteriosclerosis, fibrosis and wound healing, which involve regulation of the smooth muscle cell transcription factor.
