| 20080221848 | Biomolecular Structure Determination Involving Swarm Intelligence - A method and computer program for determining biomolecular structures from experimental data that includes ambiguous experimental observables comprising the steps of: creating a swarm of molecular structure generators; having the ability to allow the communication between said generators via a global set of molecular restraints; determining said molecular structure in a cooperative manner by using self-optimization of a multi-agent system. In one embodiment, NOESY spectra are used to calculate inter-proton distances of the biomolecular structure and said distances are used as molecular restraints. Moreover, the method involves restrained molecular dynamics simulations, e.g. by simulated annealing. | 09-11-2008 |

| 20120003238 | Enterovirus Vaccines for Preventing or Treating Type 1 Diabetes (I) - Some coxsackie B viruses have been found to have a protective effect on type 1 diabetes, while others increase the risk of the disease. This opens up new therapeutic implications in the form of vaccines. The protective viruses CBV3, CBV4, CBV5 and CBV6 may be used in live attenuated vaccines for preventing or treating type 1 diabetes. They may also be used for inducing an immune response against risk viruses like CBV1, and for eliminating the diabetogenic effect of the risk viruses. Type 1 diabetes may be prevented especially by vaccinating with live attenuated protective viruses CBV3, CBV4, CVB5 and CBV6, and further with inactivated diabetogenic/risk virus CBV1, components thereof or antibodies thereto. | 01-05-2012 |
| 20120003239 | Enterovirus Vaccines for Preventing and Treating Type 1 Diabetes (II) - New enteroviruses associated with type 1 diabetes have been found, which opens up new therapeutic and diagnostic implications. A vaccine against at least one enterovirus selected from coxsackie A virus CAV4, CAV5, CAVE and echovirus 18 is provided for use in preventing or treating type 1 diabetes. A diagnostic assay for predicting the risk of contracting type 1 diabetes based on the determination of said enteroviruses is also provided. | 01-05-2012 |
| 20120003240 | Enterovirus Vaccines for Preventing or Treating Type 1 Diabetes (III) - Coxsackie B virus CBV1 has been found to be strongly associated with the risk of contracting type 1 diabetes. A vaccine comprising CBV1, a component thereof or an antibody thereto is provided for use in preventing or treating type 1 diabetes. In addition CBV2 was also found to be diabetogenic. | 01-05-2012 |

| 20090030861 | Probabilistic Prediction Based Artificial Intelligence Planning System - A probabilistic prediction based artificial intelligence planning system comprises at least one processing unit capable of executing a set of instructions for a probabilistic prediction and modeling system; an input means for providing an input in communication with the processing unit; an output means for providing an output in communication with the processing unit; and an evaluation function for providing a score. The score is sent to the input means. A best output function provides a best output value to the processor based on probabilistic prediction values communicated from the probabilistic prediction and modeling system. Inputs and outputs are treated exactly the same within the probabilistic prediction and modeling system. Hypothetical outputs are used to test possible states within the probabilistic prediction and modeling system and evaluated by the best output function. An undo function can reverse the effect of applying a hypothetical output. | 01-29-2009 |
