Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110132034TWO STAGE PROCESS FOR PRODUCING PURIFIED GAS - The present invention provides a process for producing purified gas from a feed gas stream comprising methane and gaseous contaminants, the process comprising the steps of: 1) providing the feed gas stream; 2) cooling the feed gas stream to a temperature at which at least part of the feed gas stream is present in the liquid phase; 3) separating the cooled feed gas stream by means of cryogenic distillation into a bottom stream rich in contaminants and lean in methane, and into a top stream rich in methane and lean in gaseous contaminants, in which the bottom stream contains between 0.5 and 15% of the methane present in the feed gas stream; 4) cooling the stream rich in methane to a temperature at which solid and/or liquid phase contaminants are formed; 5) introducing the cooled stream of step 4) into a gas/liquid/solids separation vessel, and 6) removing from the gas/liquid/solids separation vessel the purified gas and a stream rich in contaminants.06-09-2011

20100199368BCL-2-MODIFYING FACTOR (BMF) SEQUENCES AND THEIR USE IN MODULATING APOPTOSIS - The present invention relates generally to novel molecules capable of, inter alia, modulating apoptosis in mammalian cells and to genetic sequences encoding same. More particularly, the present invention relates to a novel member of the Bcl-2 family of proteins, referred to herein as “Bmf”, and to genetic sequences encoding same and to regulatory sequences such as a promoter sequence directing expression of Bmf. Bmf comprises a BH3 domain which facilitates interaction to pro-survival Bcl-2 family members thereby triggering apoptosis. Bmf is regarded, therefore, as a BH3-only molecule. The molecules of the present invention are useful, for example, in therapy, diagnosis, antibody generation and as a screening tool for therapeutic agents capable of modulating physiological cell death or survival and/or modulating cell cycle entry. The present invention further contemplates genetically modified animals in which one or both alleles of Bmf are mutated or partially or wholly deleted alone or in combination with a mutation in one or both alleles of another Bcl-2-type molecule such as but not limited to Bim. The genetically modified animals are useful inter alia in screening for agents which ameliorate the symptoms of diseases caused by defects in apoptosis or which specifically promote apoptosis of target cells.08-05-2010

20110212104INFLAMMATORY BOWEL DISEASE BIOMARKERS AND RELATED METHODS OF TREATMENT - Biomarkers associated with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are provided, as well as methods of using such biomarkers for diagnosing, assessing and monitoring disease progression. The biomarkers may be measured at the protein level or the gene expression level Biomarkers may be tracked individually or in groups of two or more. The disclosed biomarkers may find particular utility in monitoring a course of therapy, such as treatment with an IL-23 antagonist. Changes in biomarker levels can also be used to confirm target engagement and therapeutic efficacy. Changes in biomarkers can also be used inform modification of a therapeutic regimen, for example to increase or decrease dosing of a therapeutic agent, such as an anti-IL-23 or anti-IL-23R anti-body.09-01-2011

20100131737Method for Manipulating Data in a Group of Processing Elements To Perform a Reflection of the Data - A method for generating a reflection of data in a plurality of processing elements comprises shifting the data along, for example, each row in the array until each processing element in the row has received all the data held by every other processing element in that row. Each processing element stores and outputs final data as a function of its position in the row. A similar reflection along a horizontal line can be achieved by shifting data along columns instead of rows. Also disclosed is a method for reflecting data in a matrix of processing elements about a vertical line comprising shifting data between processing elements arranged in rows. An initial count is set in each processing element according to the expression (2×Col_Index)MOD(array size). In one embodiment, a counter counts down from the initial count in each processing element as a function of the number of shifts that have peen performed. Output is selected as a function of the current count. A similar reflection about a horizontal line can be achieved by shifting data between processing elements arranged in columns and setting the initial count according to the expression (2×Row_Index)MOD(array size). The present invention represents an efficient method for obtaining the reflection of data.05-27-2010
20110167240Method of rotating data in a plurality of processing elements - A method of rotating data in a plurality of processing elements comprises a plurality of shifting operations and a plurality of storing operations, with the shifting and storing operations coordinated to enable a three shears operation to be performed on the data. The plurality of storing operations is responsive to the processing element's positions.07-07-2011

20110264922DIGITAL VIDEO GUARD - This invention relates to the veracity of information that is displayed to a user of a computer and can also relate to the veracity of information provided to a computer by human input devices such as pointing devices and keyboards. A digital video guard device is a peripheral that is retrofitted to commodity computer device. The digital video guard device provides trust in specific information presented on a digital display. The digital video guard device resides in-line with a digital display and enables secure end-to-end interactions between a user and a displayed (usually remote) application. In-band signalling within the digital video stream is used to carry encrypted information from a remote source, over untrusted network infrastructure through the digital video guard device to a user for viewing. The creation of encrypted digital video content can be achieved by either local or remote applications, and is effected by manipulating what is to be rendered on a computer's display, i.e. encrypting data that will at some time form part of a digital display stream and be output from an information device to a digital display. The digital video guard device can decrypt and verify the integrity of the digital video content as it is sent to a digital display. The integrity of the displayed information is indicated by a trusted LED on the digital video guard device hardware. Part or the entire video signal may be designated as trusted, depending on what data within the video signal has been encrypted, signed, or otherwise labelled as being trustworthy.10-27-2011
