  • Publication number: 20150313945
    Abstract: A method of treating a lymphocyte mediated inflammation in a subject including administering a therapeutically effective amount of a cell delivery composition to the subject, the cell delivery composition of the application including an immunosuppressive cell and a plurality of targeting moieties that bind to endothelial cell adhesion molecules expressed by endothelial cells as a result of a lymphocyte mediated inflammatory response in the subject, the targeting moieties coated on and linked to the immunosuppressive cell and enhancing adherence of the immunosuppressive cell to an endothelial cell at a site of lymphocyte mediated inflammation when administered to the subject systemically, wherein the cell delivery composition, suppresses lymphocyte mediated inflammation in the subject.

  • Publication number: 20080061980
    Abstract: In an embodiment of the invention, an active security tag is e bedded within the digital logic of an electronic design for logic destined for an integrated circuit such as an FPGA. The security tag includes security tag data which permits identification of the electronic design, and facilitates efforts to enforce copyrights in the designs. The security tag also includes a transmitter designed to covertly transmit security tag data to a receiver. Other information, such as error information and status information about the integrated circuit may also be transmitted. The transmitted information is concealed from detection by being hidden within background noise signals or other signals created by normal usage of the integrated circuit.

  • Publication number: 20070288765
    Abstract: A field programmable gate array has security configuration features to prevent monitoring of the configuration data for the field programmable gate array. The configuration data is encrypted by a security circuit of the field programmable gate array using a security key. This encrypted configuration data is stored in an external nonvolatile memory. To configure the field programmable gate array, the encrypted configuration data is decrypted by the security circuit of the field programmable gate array using the security key stored in the artwork of the field programmable gate array. The secret key comprises a number of bits of key information that are embedded within the photomasks used in manufacture the FPGA chip.
