Abstract:
The present invention relates to methods and compositions designed for the treatment, management, or prevention of cancer, particularly metastatic cancer and cancers of T cell origin, and hyperproliferative diseases involving EphA2-expressing cells. The methods of the invention entail the use of a Listeria-based EphA2 vaccine. The invention also provides pharmaceutical compositions comprising one or more Listeria-based vaccines of the invention either alone or in combination with one or more other agents useful for cancer therapy. In certain aspects of the invention, the methods entail eliciting both CD4+ and CD8+ T-cell responses against EphA2 and/or EphA2-expressing cells.
Abstract:
An apparatus for communicating packets in a network environment is provided that includes a first network element that includes a first neighbor list, the first network element being coupled to a second network element and a third network element. The first network element is operable to receive a second neighbor list from the second network element and a third neighbor list from the third network element. The first network element is further operable to determine one or more overlaps provided by the second and third neighbor lists when compared to the first neighbor list, the first network element relaying an update that it receives based on the one or more overlaps.
Abstract:
A method for communicating packets in a network environment is provided that includes receiving a packet at a network element and identifying a sequence number included in the packet that correlates to awareness information associated with one or more adjacent network elements. A table included in the network element may be updated in order to account for the awareness information included within the packet that has not been accounted for by the network element. In cases where the awareness information included in the packet has already been accounted for, the packet may be ignored.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a fan-forced positive pressure breathing apparatus commonly known as a Powered Air Purifying Respirators (PAPR) system, and specifically concerns the connecting of the breathing components of such equipment. The invention is a method and apparatus for rapid engagement of PAPR breathing components (such as air supply lines and filter elements to a blower housing). The invention also provides for indicating and/or monitoring whether the relative components have been aligned and coupled in sealed engagement.
Abstract:
Methods and compositions for treating pathogens in material are described, including methods of decontaminating human fluids prior to processing in the clinical laboratory and methods for decontaminating blood products prior to in vivo use. The techniques handle large volumes of human serum without impairing the testing results. Novel compounds for photodecontaminating biological material are also contemplated which are compatible with clinical testing, in that they do not interfere with serum analytes.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for fracking optimization, wherein the apparatus includes at least a processor, and a memory, wherein the memory containing instructions configuring the at least a processor to receive a reservoir datum from at least a sensing device, generate a production training data include a plurality of reservoir datums as input correlated to a plurality of optimal production parameters as output, train a fracking optimization machine-learning model using the production training data, determine an optimal production parameter as a function of the fracking optimization machine-learning model, and generating an optimal production plan as a function of the optimal production parameter.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for generating a compiled artificial intelligence (AI) model. The apparatus incudes a processor that is configured to receive data sets from user devices. The processor is further configured to convert the data sets using a machine-learning model into a cleansed data format and generate an accumulated model using the converted data sets as training data.
Abstract:
An apparatus for multi-stage fracking, wherein the apparatus includes a pump configured to pump a fracking fluid into a rock region comprises a plurality of rock zones, and a computing device communicatively connected to the pump, wherein the computing device includes at least a processor, and a memory communicatively connected to the at least a processor containing instructions configuring the at least a processor to receive reservoir data, determine an optimal fracking stimulation parameter as a function of the reservoir data, identify a fracking stage as a function of the optimal fracking stimulation parameter, and adjust a pump configuration of the pump as a function of the fracking stage.
