摘要:
The invention is directed to a method of preparing a nucleic acid sequence with a modified splice site usage profile, which employs the use of a nucleic acid sequence comprising a cryptic splice donor site. The invention also provides a method of producing an alternate form of an RNA molecule encoded by a nucleic acid sequence, which nucleic acid sequence comprises a cryptic splice donor site, a heterologous nucleic acid sequence, and a splice acceptor site.

Compositions and methods for the therapy of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), including Celiac Disease, Crohn's Disease, and Ulcerative Colitis, are disclosed. Illustrative compositions comprise one or more anti-type 1 interferon antagonists, such as anti-type 1 interferon receptor antibody antagonists and fragments thereof, as well as polypeptides and small molecules that inhibit the interaction of type 1 interferon with its receptor (IFNAR).

Compositions and methods for the treatment of cancer, particularly melanoma, myeloma, small cell lung cancer, thymic lymphoma, T-cell lymphoma, B-cell lymphoma, osteosarcoma, and acute T-cell leukemia, are disclosed. Illustrative compositions include one or more anti-ganglioside antibodies and polynucleotides that encode such anti-ganglioside antibodies. These antibodies may be for example, hamster antibodies, chimeric human/hamster antibodies, or humanized antibodies. The disclosed compositions are useful, for example, in the treatment of cancer and can be used to induce apoptosis in a cancer cell.
摘要:
An item of hosted content is received from a media host. A match metric representing an aspect of a match between the item of hosted content and an item of reference content, the item of reference content provided by a content owner having rights to the item of reference content. A policy associated with the item of reference content is identified responsive to the value to that represents the correspondence, the policy including terms of use for the hosted content. The policy is provided to the media host.
摘要:
Hosted content received from media hosts is used to generate a set of fingerprints representing the hosted content. The fingerprints representing the hosted content are compared to a set of fingerprints representing reference content submitted by content owners to generate one or more match metrics. Based on the match metrics, the media host may provide indication that they accept policy terms specified by the content owners, including revenue sharing terms. If the media host accepts the revenue sharing terms, the media host may provide advertising content to viewers in association with the hosted content matching the reference content. Funds received from providing advertising content are distributed to the media host and the content owner according to the revenue sharing terms.
摘要:
A net pet barrier designed for installation behind the front or rear seat in a vehicle to keep pets off vehicle seats and in the back of the vehicle. Netting formed of micro-mesh material is attached to a pop-up wire frame which keeps the net from sagging and facilitates installation and removal. Adjustable side expansion panels allow installation of the barrier in vehicles of various sizes and configurations, from sedans to full-size SUVs.
摘要:
New and improved microwave plasma assisted reactors, for example chemical vapor deposition (MPCVD) reactors, are disclosed. The disclosed microwave plasma assisted reactors operate at pressures ranging from about 10 Torr to about 760 Torr. The disclosed microwave plasma assisted reactors include a movable lower sliding short and/or a reduced diameter conductive stage in a coaxial cavity of a plasma chamber. For a particular application, the lower sliding short position and/or the conductive stage diameter can be variably selected such that, relative to conventional reactors, the reactors can be tuned to operate over larger substrate areas, operate at higher pressures, and discharge absorbed power densities with increased diamond synthesis rates (carats per hour) and increased deposition uniformity.

Content rights holders provide digital content to a hosting site to be used as reference content. The content owner specifies a policy for each digital content item, indicating how that content may be used on the site when uploaded by someone other than the content owner. An identification module compares the uploaded content against reference content. If the content matches reference content, the specified policy for that reference content is applied to the uploaded content. Policy options provided by the content owner include tracking the content to see how it is viewed, preventing the content from being distributed on the site, and allowing the content to be displayed in a revenue-sharing environment. In one embodiment, if the identification module matches the uploaded content to a reference item but the match does not have a sufficiently high level of confidence, the suggested match is queued for review by the content owner.
摘要:
A method and apparatus of interrogating an addressable array unit, which includes a substrate, a light reflecting layer on a front side of the substrate, and a plurality of features on a front side of the array. The method may include, for each of multiple features, illuminating the feature simultaneously with reflected and non-reflected interrogating light. A light emitted from respective features is detected. Either or both, constructive interference of interrogating light at the features, or constructive interference of light emitted from the features, can be obtained to allow lowering of light power from the source, enhanced signal, or reduced noise, or combinations of the foregoing. High depth discrimination may also be obtained without the need for a confocal detection system with conventional pinhole.
