Abstract: The present invention relates to vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) matrix (M) protein mutants. One mutant M protein includes a glycine changed to a glutamic acid at position (21), a leucine changed to alanine at position (111) and a methionine changed to an arginine at position (51). Another M protein mutant includes a glycine changed to a glutamic acid at position (22) and a methionine changed to an arginine at positions (48) and (51). These new rVSVs having the mutant M are significantly attenuated and lost virulence, including neurovirulence, and are capable of inducing an immune responses against an antigen of interest. In addition, a rVSV serotype Indiana having the first described M mutant is capable of efficient replication at 31° C., and of poor replication or incapable of replication at about 37° C. or higher.

Abstract: This invention provides, among other things, novel compounds useful for treating protozoal infections, pharmaceutical compositions containing such compounds, as well as combinations of these compounds with at least one additional therapeutically effective agent.

Abstract: Wireless access points detect neighboring wireless access points in different subnets. Upon connecting with a wireless client, a wireless access point determines predictive roaming information for the wireless client. Predictive roaming information identifies the wireless client; its home network subnet; and includes connection information associated with the wireless client. The wireless access point forwards the predictive roaming information associated with a wireless client to neighboring wireless access points while the wireless client is still connected with the wireless access point. Neighboring wireless access points store received predictive roaming information. Upon connecting with a wireless client, a neighboring wireless access point determines if the wireless client matches the stored predictive roaming information.

Abstract: There is provided an apparatus for testing an analog-to-digital converter including: an analog-to-digital converter converting an analog type signal into a digital type signal; a signal generator applying a predetermined type analog signal to the analog-to-digital converter; a first processor controlling the signal generator so that the analog signal is divided to be applied to the analog-to-digital converter; and a second processor determining error occurrence, determining a valid range, and calculating DNL and INL of output data of the analog-to-digital converter.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and device for storing data in a flash memory using address mapping for supporting various block sizes. A storage device determines the size of a block that a host system uses on the basis of the size of data that the host system requests and uses the determined block size as a mapping unit. Additionally, the storage device divides a logical address space into at least one area, and maps an address using the minimum units of different mappings in each divided area.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a storage device that uses a flash memory that performs power loss recovery, and to a method of power loss recovery by using the storage device using the flash memory. The storage device stores change information on metadata in physical pages in which one or more logical pages are compressed and stored. The change information on the metadata is information representing how the metadata is changed in association with data in the one or more logical pages. The storage device may synchronize the metadata in the flash memory and recover the metadata by applying the change information on the metadata to the synchronized metadata when a power supply is disrupted.

Abstract: A network monitoring and control application suitable for use by teachers and other users is implemented using wireless access points and does not require specific software to be installed on client network devices. The application uses student and class information to organize network client information. Upon receiving a monitoring request, one or more classes assigned to the teacher are identified by accessing class data. Class data is accessed to identify students assigned to the class and the client network devices used by these students. One wireless access point providing wireless network connections to at least a portion of the students' devices is selected to collect network activity information from the students' devices and presents this information to the teacher. The teacher may also use the selected wireless access point to disable students' network access or to redirect students' devices to a network resource.

Abstract: The present invention provides a phase-change storage unit containing a TiSiN material layer and a method for preparing the same. The phase-change storage unit includes a phase-change material layer and a lower electrode located there below, the phase-change material layer and the lower electrode are connected by a TiSiN material layer, the lower electrode includes a bottom and a sheet side connected to the bottom, the sheet side is perpendicular to the bottom to form a blade structure, and the top of the sheet side contacts the TiSiN material layer. The present invention adopts annealing to increase the grain size of the electrode so as to reduce the overall resistance of the device and form a TiSiN material layer on the top of the lower electrode so as to reduce the effective operation region. The phase-change storage unit of the present invention is applied to a phase-change memory to achieve the advantages such as low power consumption, high density and high data retention performance.
