Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090149383COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR FACILITATING HEME-IRON EXPORT FROM CELLS - The invention provides a high affinity heme-binding agent, which can be provided in the form of a pharmaceutical composition that includes, optionally, a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. The heme-binding agent can be used in a method of facilitating heme-iron export from a cell. The method comprises contacting a cell with a high affinity heme-binding agent. Also provided is a method of treating a disorder associated with excess iron in cells in a subject. The method comprises administering to the subject an effective amount of the composition of the invention. The subject is typically a mammal, most typically a human or veterinary subject.06-11-2009

20110317694AUTOMATIC FILTER OVERLAP PROCESSING AND RELATED SYSTEMS AND METHODS - Systems and methods are disclosed that allow for improved management and control of packet forwarding in network systems. Network devices and tool optimizers and a related systems and methods are disclosed for improved packet forwarding between input ports and output ports. The input ports and output ports are configured to be connected to source devices and destination devices, for example, network sources and destination tools in a network monitoring environment. The network devices and tool optimizers disclosed can use a packet processing system whereby forwarding behavior is governed by matching packets in parallel against multiple user-specified packet filtering criteria, and by performing forwarding actions associated with all such matching filter criteria. The multi-action packet forwarding can be implemented using hardware configured to directly provide multi-action packet forwarding and/or hardware configured to provide single-packet-forwarding that has been subsequently configured using filter engines to provide multi-action packet forwarding.12-29-2011
