摘要:
The present invention provides a native or reconstituted complex comprising Bmi1 and/or Ring1 and/or Ring2, wherein the complex has ubiquitin E3 ligase activity. Optionally, the complex further comprises HPH2 and/or HPC3. Also disclosed are methods of producing the reconstituted complex, methods of identifying compounds that modulate the ubiquitin E3 ligase activity of the native or reconstituted complex, and methods of identifying candidate compounds for treating cancer. Kits for determining modulation of protein ubiquitination and/or for ubiquitinating a target substrate are further provided.

This document discusses, among other things, a system and method for sensing a pulmonary artery pressure (“PAP”) signal of a pulmonary artery (“PA”) and computing an indication of a reduction of blood supply to at least a portion of a heart using information from the PAP signal. The reduction of blood supply to at least a portion of the heart can be detected using a PAP signal characteristic or measurement, using a change in the PAP, using an interval between multiple PAP signal features, using a mitral valve performance, or using information from the PAP and information from a different physiological signal, including a cardiac signal, a heart sound signal, right ventricular pressure signal, a left ventricular pressure signal, a blood pressure signal, and an oxygen saturation signal.

Embodiments of the present invention include systems and methods of migrating sessions between computer systems. In one embodiment, the present invention includes a session migration method comprising managing, by a session manager, a session between a client and a first server using network address translation, managing, by a first server, a context for the client, wherein the context is related to the session, determining that the session is to be moved from the first server, identifying, by the session manager, a second server other than the first server to manage the context, sending the context from the first server to the second server; managing, by the session manager, the session between the client and the second server using network address translation, and managing, by the second server, the context.
摘要:
An apparatus and method are disclosed for exchanging messages between an email client and a unified messaging system. An apparatus that incorporates teachings of the present disclosure may include, for example, a unified messaging system (UMS) (102) having a controller (108) that manages operations of a communications interface (104) that communicates with communication devices in a communication system (100). The controller can be programmed to receive (304) from an email client operating in a select one of the communication devices an identification, validate (308) the identification according to subscriber information in a directory, establish (312) a secure communications link with the email client upon validating the identification, identify (314) a message server from the subscriber information, authenticate (316) the email client at the message server, and enable (318) communications between the email client and the message server over the secure communications link. Additional embodiments are disclosed.
摘要:
Systems and methods for finding the position and shape of an animal using video are disclosed. The invention includes a system with a video camera coupled to a computer in which the computer is configured to automatically provide animal segmentation and identification, animal motion tracking (for moving animals), animal posture classification, and behavior identification. In a preferred embodiment, the present invention may use background subtraction for animal identification and tracking, and a combination of decision tree classification and rule-based classification for posture and behavior identification. Thus, the present invention is capable of automatically monitoring a video image to identify, track and classify the actions of various animals and the animal's movements within the image. The image may be provided in real time or from storage.

摘要:
Disclosed are methods for establishing the compatibility between two bloodtypes on the basis of cross-matching (under a designated rule of stringency) the minor blood group genotypes of recipient and prospective donors. To determine compatibility, the blood group genotypes are mapped to corresponding phenotypes according to the expression states associated with a set of underlying haplotypes, and compatibility is established by establishing the compatibility of bloodtypes constructed as a combination of constituent phenotypes. The bit strings are matched, preferably using an algorithm expression. Where ambiguity in mapping genotypes to haplotypes exists, it can be reduced based on frequency of occurrence of the haplotypes in the sample population, or resolved by gametic phasing. Such reduction or resolution of ambiguity is particularly desirable where mismatches in the antigens expressed by the constituent haplotypes have greater clinical significance.

Methods and apparatus for automated provisioning of voice over internet protocol (VoIP) gateways, proxy servers, session border controllers, softswitches and/or softswitch/proxy servers are disclosed. A disclosed method comprises performing a query of a database containing records specifying a communication path between a first communication network and a second communications network via a communication device, translating a result of the database query into a configuration parameter for the communication device, and configuring the communications device with the configuration parameter.
摘要:
Models for the systemic inflammatory response to infection, which involve the use of immunocompromised animals, and methods of using the models are described. These models can be used in identifying analytes or biomarker panels that can be used in staging or monitoring sepsis. The models can also be used for predicting an animal's disease outcome or in providing a prognosis for sepsis patients. Further, the invention relates to methods for evaluating potential treatments for sepsis.
摘要:
Disclosed is a registry for candidate transfusion donors, which invokes an inventory management policy to create and actively manage lists of candidate donors in order to minimize imbalances between demand and supply across multiple regions and across multiple categories of donors and recipients. Together with a genotyping laboratory, the registry does targeted recruitment of prospective donors who are typed for a set of genetic markers relating to clinically relevant antigens including mutations of Human Erythrocyte Antigens (HEA), genetic variants of Rh, and possibly additional antigens such as HLA and HPA. The registry monitors incoming demand for transfusion antigen genotypes, preferably stratify the demand into a set of categories representing stable subpopulations, and will apply strategies, disclosed herein, to tune the composition of candidate donor lists to match the demand, thereby avoiding excess, and unnecessary, typing of candidate donors.
