| 20110010949 | Tactical Knife Capable of Trapping and Cutting an Opponent's Limb - An improved tactical knife comprises a first portion, including a pair of substantially identical projections, each one of the pair of substantially identical projections including a left sharpened curved side and a right sharpened curved side, the left sharpened curved side and the right sharpened curved side of each projection meeting to form a respective piercing point. Preferably, the first portion is structured and arranged such that an area between the projections forms a trap sufficient to hold and immobilize a human limb. The improved tactical knife further comprises a second portion, including a handle for holding the knife and a third portion, including a guard for preventing slippage, the third portion situate between the first portion and the second portion. Preferably, the area between the projections includes a separate, inwardly curved edge for cutting the human limb trapped therein. | 01-20-2011 |

| 20090170865 | Treatment of Prostate Cancer with Angiogenesis-Targeting Quinazoline-Based Anti-Cancer Compounds - Provided is a method of inhibiting the growth of prostate cancer cells comprising administering an effective amount of DZ-50 (2-[4-biphenyl-4-sulfonyl)-piperazin-1-yl]-6,7-diisopropoxyquinazolin-4-yl-amine) to a patient in need thereof. In another aspect, a method is provided for inhibiting the initiation of prostate cancer comprising administering an effective amount of DZ-50 to a patient in need thereof. In yet another aspect, a method is provided for inhibiting the formation of a prostate tumor-derived metastatic lesion comprising administering an effective amount of DZ-50 to a patient in need thereof. In any of the aforementioned methods, a quinazoline-based drug which induces apoptosis of a prostate cancer cell may be coadministered with DZ-50. Also provided is a composition comprising DZ-50, a quinazoline-based drug which induces apoptosis of a prostate cancer cell, and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. | 07-02-2009 |

| 20110274709 | T-Cell Immunogens Derived from Anti-Viral Proteins and Methods of Using Same - Isolated polypeptides related to endogenous anti-viral polypeptides; and compositions, including immunogenic compositions, comprising a subject isolated polypeptide are disclosed herein. A subject isolated polypeptide comprises an amino acid sequence having substantial amino acid sequence identity to a contiguous stretch of amino acids of one or more endogenous anti-viral polypeptides, wherein the endogenous anti-viral polypeptides are polypeptides subject to proteolytic degradation as a result of the activity of one or more viral proteins. Also provided are diagnostic and treatment methods using the subject isolated polypeptides and compositions. | 11-10-2011 |

| 20110046042 | Long Interspersed Nuclear Element Polypeptide Compositions and Methods of Use Thereof - The present invention provides LINE polypeptides; and compositions, including immunogenic compositions, comprising a subject LINE polypeptide. The present invention provides a recombinant nucleic acid comprising a nucleotide sequence encoding a subject LINE polypeptide. A subject composition is useful for stimulating a T-cell immune response to a LINE peptide. The present invention further provides methods of stimulating an immune response in an individual to a retrovirus- or lentivirus-infected cell. The present invention further provides methods of treating cancers that are associated with tissues in which LINE polypeptides are aberrantly expressed. Also provided are methods of treating disorders, involving decreasing an immune response to a LINE polypeptide. | 02-24-2011 |

| 20090055277 | WIRELESS PAYMENT METHOD AND SYSTEMS - A method for conducting a transaction is disclosed. The method includes using a first portable electronic device, and directly transmitting a request for payment to a second portable electronic device through a wireless link. Then, the second portable electronic device transmits an approval of the request for payment to the first portable electronic device. One of the first and the second portable electronic devices then sends the request for payment to a payment hub service. The payment hub service then facilitates the transfer of funds from a payer institution to a payee institution to complete the transaction. | 02-26-2009 |

| 20100211938 | SCHEMA-BASED DYNAMIC PARSE/BUILD ENGINE FOR PARSING MULTI-FORMAT MESSAGES - A parse/build engine that can handle multi-format financial messages. The engine converts the different format messages into a common format, and the common format message is then processed by the business service application. A parser examines the message and determines an appropriate schema for the particular format of message received. The schema is a data structure in a schema registry that includes a grammar structure for the received format as well as pointers to handlers for converting the different fields of the message into the internal message format using the grammar structure (the “grammar” can include field sequence, field type, length, character encoding, optional and required fields, etc.). The handlers are individually compiled. As formats change, new formats or changes to old formats can be dynamically added to the parse/build engine by loading new schema and handlers. | 08-19-2010 |
| 20110047294 | ADAPTIVE GATEWAY FOR SWITCHING TRANSACTIONS AND DATA ON UNRELIABLE NETWORKS USING CONTEXT-BASED RULES - Application level switching of transactions at a gateway is provided. The gateway is configured to switch the transaction based on the application level content, a current state of a transport environment, and/or dynamic rules for switching transactions. For example, several possible service providers can be selected for the type of transaction, and the gateway can monitor not only the round-trip time through the network(s) to different possible service providers, but also the time required to complete the transaction at the application level and return a response. The application is chosen on the sending side of the network, and application level formatting is done on the sending side as well. The gateway uses modular code and data, and separate instances of processing code to allow dynamic updating. Rules for application service selection can be selectively uploaded to the gateway from a client. The rules for different available application services can be distributed across different gateways. | 02-24-2011 |
