20090196324 | Real-Time Line Scan Extraction from Infrared Images Using the Wedge Method in Industrial Environments - A method of measuring the temperature of a sheet material arranged such that it forms at least one side of a cavity, so as to enhance the effective emissivity of the sheet material in the vicinity of the cavity comprises: generating a thermal image of at least part of the inside of the cavity, the thermal image comprising a plurality of pixels each having a pixel value representative of radiation emitted by a respective region of the cavity; identifying a first subset of the pixels whose pixel values meet predetermined criteria; using the identified first subset to determine a line on the thermal image representative of optimal emissivity enhancement in the cavity; and selecting a second subset of the pixels based on the determined line and generating a temperature profile along the determined line derived from the pixel values associated with each of the second subset of pixels. | 08-06-2009 |
20110018721 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MEASURING THE TEMPERATURE OF A SHEET MATERIAL - A method of measuring the temperature of a sheet material in which the sheet material is arranged such that it forms at least one side of a cavity so as to enhance the effective emissivity of the sheet material in the vicinity of the cavity. The method involves a) generating a thermal image of at least part of the inside of the cavity using a thermal imaging device to detect radiation emitted by the cavity, the thermal image comprising a plurality of pixels each having a pixel value representative of radiation emitted by a respective region of the cavity; b) identifying a first subset of the plurality of pixels whose pixel values meet predetermined criteria; c) using the identified first subset of pixels to determine a line on the thermal image representative of optimal emissivity enhancement in the cavity; and d) selecting a second subset of the plurality of pixels based on the determined line and generating a temperature profile along the determined line derived from the pixel values associated with each of the second subset of pixels. | 01-27-2011 |

20090081155 | Use of Inhibitors of Indoleamine-2,3-Dioxygenase in Combination with Other Therapeutic Modalities - The present invention provides improved treatment methods by the administration of both an inhibitor of indoleamine-2,3-dioxygenase in addition to the administration of an additional therapeutic agent. | 03-26-2009 |
20090123420 | Regulation of T Cell-Mediated Immunity by D Isomers of Inhibitors of Indoleamine-2,3-Dioxygenase - The present invention provides improved treatment methods by the administration of the non-physiologic D-isomer of an IDO inhibitor. | 05-14-2009 |
20090155311 | INDOLEAMINE 2,3-DIOXYGENASE PATHWAYS IN THE GENERATION OF REGULATORY T CELLS - The present invention provides methods for the control of the generation of regulatory T cells (Tregs) and uses thereof. | 06-18-2009 |
20090297540 | Induction of Indoleamine 2,3-Dioxygenase in Dendritic Cells by TLR Ligands and Uses thereof - The induction of indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) in an IDO-competent subset of dendritic cells by TLR ligands, including TLR9 ligands, and various uses thereof are presented. | 12-03-2009 |
20120142750 | INDOLEAMINE 2,3-DIOXYGENASE PATHWAYS IN THE GENERATION OF REGULATORY T CELLS - The present invention provides methods for the control of the generation of regulatory T cells (Tregs) and uses thereof. | 06-07-2012 |
20120288472 | REGULATION OF T CELL-MEDIATED IMMUNITY BY TRYPTOPHAN - A mechanism of macrophage-induced T cell suppression is the selective elimination of tryptophan and/or increase in one or more tryptophan metabolites within the local macrophage microenvironment Expression of IDO can serve as a marker of suppression of T cell activation, and may play a significant role in allogeneic pregnancy and other types of transplantation. Inhibitors of IDO can be used to activate T cells. Inhibiting tryptophan degradation, or supplementing tryptophan concentration, can be used in addition to, or in place of, inhibitors of IDO. Increasing tryptophan degradation (thereby, decreasing tryptophan concentration and increasing tryptophan metabolite concentration), for example, by increasing IDO concentration or IDO activity, can suppress T cells. One can manipulate local tryptophan concentrations, and/or modulate the activity of the high affinity tryptophan transporter, and/or administer tryptophan degrading enzymes. Regulation can be further manipulated using cytokines such as MCSF, IFNγ, alone or in combination with antigen or other cytokines. | 11-15-2012 |
20140377307 | USE OF INHIBITORS OF INDOLEAMINE-2,3-DIOXYGENASE IN COMBINATION WITH OTHER THERAPEUTIC MODALITIES - The present invention provides improved treatment methods by the administration of both an inhibitor of indoleamine-2,3-dioxygenase in addition to the administration of an additional therapeutic agent. | 12-25-2014 |
