20090317418 | VACCINES AND METHODS FOR PREVENTION AND TREATMENT OF DRUG-RESISTANT HIV-1 AND HEPATITIS B VIRUS - The present invention provides methods for lowering a viral load of a virus resistant to an antiviral drug by inducing cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) to recognize a predetermined mutated epitope within a viral protein of the drug-resistant virus. CTLs are induced by immunizing a host with a peptide comprising the predetermined mutation. The immunostimulating peptide may be further improved by epitope-enhancement for inducing specific CTLs. The antiviral protection against drug-resistant virus shown by compositions of the present invention and mediated by human HLA-restricted CTL has not been previously achieved. | 12-24-2009 |

20100067853 | COMPONENTS FOR OPTICAL INTERCONNECT THROUGH PRINTED WIRING BOARDS - A component system and method is described that is made of components for transmitting, routing and receiving “in-air” optical signals for placement on printed wiring boards (PWBs). The transmitters are components including a light source attached to a transparent substrate and aligned to a coupling lens. The transparent substrate can contain circuitry for controlling the light source, or the circuitry could be attached to the transparent substrate. The receivers include a light detector attached to a transparent substrate with circuitry for converting optical signals to electrical circuitry (integrated onto the transparent substrate or separately attached). The routing components include a lens for coupling light into an optical waveguide, an optical waveguide and, optionally, a second lens for coupling light from the optical waveguide. The component system allows in-air optical communication between PWBs, without requiring traditional connections and harnesses between the PWBs, thus increasing their reliability and throughput. | 03-18-2010 |

20160062947 | PERFORMING MULTI-CONVOLUTION OPERATIONS IN A PARALLEL PROCESSING SYSTEM - In one embodiment of the present invention a convolution engine configures a parallel processing pipeline to perform multi-convolution operations. More specifically, the convolution engine configures the parallel processing pipeline to independently generate and process individual image tiles. In operation, for each image tile, the pipeline calculates source locations included in an input image batch. Notably, the source locations reflect the contribution of the image tile to an output tile of an output matrix—the result of the multi-convolution operation. Subsequently, the pipeline copies data from the source locations to the image tile. Similarly, the pipeline copies data from a filter stack to a filter tile. The pipeline then performs matrix multiplication operations between the image tile and the filter tile to generate data included in the corresponding output tile. To optimize both on-chip memory usage and execution time, the pipeline creates each image tile in on-chip memory as-needed. | 03-03-2016 |
