Abstract: The present invention relates generally to the prevention of pneumococcal disease. More specifically, the invention relates to compositions comprising pneumococcal conjugates and a lipid nanoparticle (LNP).

Abstract: The invention is related to multivalent immunogenic compositions comprising more than one S. pneumoniae polysaccharide protein conjugates, wherein each of the conjugates comprises a polysaccharide from an S. pneumoniae serotype conjugated to a carrier protein, wherein the serotypes of S. pneumoniae are as defined herein. Also provided are methods for inducing a protective immune response in a human patient comprising administering the multivalent immunogenic compositions of the invention to the patient. The multivalent immunogenic compositions are useful for providing protection against S. pneumoniae infection and diseases caused by S. pneumoniae. The compositions of the invention are also useful as part of treatment regimes that provide complementary protection for patients that have been vaccinated with a multivalent vaccine indicated for the prevention of pneumococcal disease.

Abstract: A map control module receives a stream of map data characterizing a geographic region proximal to a vehicle and outputs a moving map, and the moving map is divisible into a matrix of cells. A map item control receives a stream of point of interest (POI) data characterizing a plurality of POIs within the boundary and categorizes each of the plurality of POIs to define a set of categories. The map item control determines a display location of a map item within the matrix of cells for each of the plurality of POIs and determines an importance for each POI within a same category. The map item control forms a set of clusters of map items. Each map item in a given cluster of map items has a same cell and a same category. The map item control selects a top-item for each cluster of map items.

Abstract: An interstitial recessed cantilever latch mechanism for fiber optic and electrical connectors is disclosed. This mechanism enables the design of more spatially efficient multi-position connectors while retaining the reliability and tactile feedback of traditional connector latch mechanisms. The mechanism also allows the receptacle interface to be substantially simplified, and reduces the number of unique components required by means of a hermaphroditically assembled backshell half.

Abstract: Systems and methods for an improved Internet search engine are provided. According to one embodiment, a search request includes (i) one or more initial constraints to constrain a search of real-time Internet content to a domain name space and (ii) one or more user-specified search terms or phrases. A subset of potential outcomes is provided as feedback to a user by generating a search query to be applied to the content within the domain name space by: (i) identifying company records matching the initial constraint(s) and satisfying one or more sampling criteria by searching a company database; and (ii) incorporating into the search query: (a) domain names of matching company records; and (b) the user-specified search terms or phrases. The subset of potential outcomes are then displayed to the user by performing a limited search of the real-time Internet content based on the structured search query.

Abstract: Systems and methods for an improved Internet search engine are provided. According to one embodiment, a search request is received from an end user via a browser based interface. The search request includes (i) initial constraint(s) to be used by the Internet search engine to constrain a search of real-time Internet content and (ii) user-specified search terms. A structured search query is generated based on company records of a company database matching the initial constraint(s). The search of real-time Internet content is performed and search results are returned by, for each web site domain specified in the structured search query, applying the search term(s) to a predetermined number of web pages for the domain. The search results, including a list of companies associated with the search results, is locally stored and presented to the end user. Interactive filtering and/or ranking of the locally stored search results is then facilitated.

Abstract: For handling data being communicated over lossless Ethernet that is sensitive to delays, a processor designates data being transmitted over an Ethernet connection as one of low latency data and standard data. The processor further indicates that a Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) device supports transmission of the low latency data using a type length value (TLV) of a data center bridging capability exchange protocol (DCBX) as of Aug. 10, 2010. The processor transmits the low latency data and indicating that the low latency data being transmitted is low latency data. The processor detects one or more delays in the transmission of the low latency data. The processor issues a flow control command to pause a port from sending frames to the Ethernet for a given amount of time in response to detecting the one or more delays.

Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for handling data being communicated over lossless Ethernet that is sensitive to delays. Fiber Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) is one example of an environment where data may be subject to unacceptable delays. The method involves designating certain data as low latency data that is sensitive to delays in transmission. The low latency data is then transmitted in such a manner that the receiving devices are aware that they are receiving low latency data. If a delay in the transmission of low latency is detected, commands are issued that pause or slow standard data in order to free up bandwidth for the low latency data. The commands may be, for example, backward congestion notifications and priority flow control. Low latency data is exempted from backward congestion notifications and priority flow control. Priority 7 priority group 15 may be reserved exclusively for low latency data.

Abstract: A lock for securing an electronic device includes a tamper module and a destruction module. The tamper module determines whether a component of the lock has been compromised. The tamper module may determine whether a cable securing the electronic device has been cut. If the tamper module determines that a lock component has been compromised, a destruction module may destroy an enabling component that enables the electronic device to operate. The destruction module may destroy a transmitter in the lock that communicates an authentication code if the electronic device will not function without the authentication code.

Abstract: A lock and modular system for securing an electronic device. The system includes a device security module that couples to an electronic device and secures the electronic device to its location. A monitor module ensures that the device security module is coupled to the electronic device before a data security module allows the electronic device to operate. The monitor module may also require that the device security module be recognized before the electronic device will operate. If the device security module is coupled and recognized, the user is prompted to provide an encryption key. If the key is correct, the electronic device will operate. The user may have a limited number of attempts to provide the encryption key. If the user makes too many attempts, the electronic device is disabled and the data thereon destroyed. If the device security module is uncoupled during operation, the electronic device is shut down.

The trailer has front and rear ends and is configured to receive and hold a container. A dolly is mounted on the trailer to lift and handle the container while maintaining the container in an upright orientation. The dolly may travel between the front and rear ends of the trailer and may be rotatable to face left and right sides of the trailer.

Abstract: One embodiment provides a method for receiving parallel rays at a lens. A first surface of the lens can receive first substantially parallel rays incoming from a first direction. The first surface of the lens also can receive second substantially parallel rays incoming from a second direction that is substantially different than the first direction. The lens can focus the first substantially parallel rays onto a first focal point on a second surface of the lens and focus the second substantially parallel rays onto a second focal point on the second surface of the lens, the second focal point being different than the first focal point.
