20110229513 | LPS Based Vaccines - The removal of the glycosidic phosphate from the reducing end of the derived LPS molecule creates an aldehydo functionality which causes the formation of an immunologically dominant neo-epitope. Conjugation to the reducing end of a carbohydrate molecule following removal of the glycosidic phosphate traps the reducing glucosamine residue in an open-chain form which surprisingly was found to dominate the immune response. We therefore modified our conjugation strategy to avoid this open-chain form, by utilising the amino functionality created by the isolated amidase activity from | 09-22-2011 |

20130289894 | Method for Triggering Dependent Spectra for Data Acquisition - Methods and systems are provided for triggering an information dependent mass spectrometry scan in real time. A mass spectrometry scan of a separating sample mixture is performed by a mass spectrometer at each time interval of a time period. The mass spectrometer receives the separating sample mixture from a separation device. It is determined at a certain time interval that a received mass spectrometry scan at the time interval and one or more preceding received mass spectrometry scans include two or more time-varying ion signals that represent two or more fragment ion transitions of a known compound. If a characteristic of the two or more time-varying ion signals meets a selection criterion, the mass spectrometer is instructed to perform a dependent mass spectrometry scan of the separating sample mixture for a precursor ion of the known compound at the time interval. | 10-31-2013 |

20140095084 | Use of Variable XIC Widths of TOF-MSMS Data for the Determination of Background Interference in SRM Assays - Systems and methods identify a product ion that does not include an interference. A full product ion spectrum for a mass range of an analyte in a sample is received from a tandem mass spectrometer. A first set of one or more peak parameters is calculated for a product ion in the full product ion spectrum using a first XIC window width. A second set of one or more peak parameters is calculated for the product ion using a second XIC window width. The product ion is identified as not including an interference, if the first set of one or more peak parameters and the second set of one or more peak parameters are substantially the same. The product ion is further confirmed or determined to be from the analyte and not from a matrix of the sample by correlating the product to a precursor ion of the analyte. | 04-03-2014 |

20090063589 | APPARATUS AND METHOD TO DECOUPLE LARGE OBJECT DATA PROCESSING FROM MAIN-LINE DATA PROCESSING IN A SHARED-NOTHING ARCHITECTURE - An apparatus and method to to decouple large object (“LOB”) data processing from main-line data processing in a shared-nothing architecture. The method may include relocating rows in a database table from a source partition to a target partition, where each row stores a source descriptor identifying a LOB associated with the row. The source descriptors may be read, and space sufficient to store each LOB in a target repository may be allocated accordingly. Source descriptors may be extracted from the rows, and sorted according to the location of the LOBs in the source repository to provide an ordered retrieval sequence. Each LOB may be retrieved from the source repository according to the retrieval sequence, and stored in its allocated space. The source descriptor stored in each row in the target partition may then be replaced with a target descriptor to identify the location of the respective LOB in the target repository. | 03-05-2009 |
20100017429 | METHOD AND APPARATUS OF DISTRIBUTING DATA IN PARTIONED DATABASES OPERATING ON A SHARED-NOTHING ARCHITECTURE - The invention relates to a method and apparatus of distributing data in portioned databases operating on a shared-nothing architecture. The invention provides two independent streams of data, where a first stream sends table data, and the second stream sends LOB data, to a receiving partition. The receiving partition re-couples the LOB data with the table data. Using two independent streams to distribute LOB data can increase data redistribution since large amounts of input/output is not performed to handle the sending of LOB data in a coupled fashion. | 01-21-2010 |
