20140012517 | Structural damage estimation based on measurements of rotations - Structural damage to a building is assessed based on measurement of point rotations using MEMS accelerometer sensors attached to structural columns of a building. The measured point rotations are wirelessly transmitted to a central unit which estimates residual drifts of the structural columns using a model of plastic deformation of the columns that incorporates empirically predetermined structural parameters of the columns such as a height of a column plastic bending point or a column curvature coefficient. The structural damage to the building is then estimated by determining a damage state from performance-based earthquake engineering performance thresholds that relate residual drift to damage. In some embodiments, multiple sensors are attached to each structural column of the building and measure corresponding point rotations at multiple points along the height of the column. | 01-09-2014 |

20100104559 | US CIP-COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR MODULATING RESPONSES MEDIATED OR ASSOCIATED WITH BTLA ACTIVITY - Herpesvirus entry mediator (HVEM) is a member of the tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily (TNFRSF) and acts as a molecular switch that modulates T cell activation by propagating positive signals from the TNF related ligand, LIGHT (p30, TNFSF14), or inhibitory signals through the immunoglobulin superfamily member, B and T lymphocyte attenuator (BTLA). A novel binding site for BTLA is disclosed, located in cysteine-rich domain-1 of HVEM. BTLA binding site on HVEM overlaps with the binding site for the Herpes Simplex virus-1 envelope glycoprotein D (gD), but is distinct from where LIGHT binds, yet gD inhibits the binding of both ligands. A BTLA activating protein present in human cytomegalovirus is identified as UL144. UL144 binds BTLA, but not LIGHT, and inhibits T cell proliferation. | 04-29-2010 |
