20110152207 | USE OF VITAMIN D GLYCOSIDES AND SULFATES FOR TREATMENT OF DISEASE - Disclosed are methods of treating vitamin D-sensitive diseases without inducing severe forms of hypercalcemia. The methods comprise administering biologically inert vitamin D prodrugs. The vitamin D prodrugs have a vitamin D-drug moiety and a pro moiety, wherein the pro moiety is selected from the group consisting of a glycone moiety and a sulfate moiety. The vitamin D prodrugs are activated by enzymes at target tissues or cells that cleave the pro moiety from the vitamin D-drug moiety, freeing the vitamin D-moiety from the pro moiety in the vicinity of the target tissues or cells. In some versions, the vitamin D-drug moiety is an active vitamin D drug that has direct therapeutic effects at target sites. In other versions, the vitamin D-drug moiety is an inactive vitamin D drug that regulates the production and/or turnover of an active vitamin D drug and, therefore, abundance of the active vitamin D drug at the target site. The methods of the invention prevent large, acute, systemic increases in the free form of the vitamin D-drug moiety that would otherwise lead to hypercalcemia. The methods can be used to treat hyperproliferative, autoimmune, or infectious diseases throughout the body, including the intestine. Compositions of the vitamin D prodrugs useful in the described methods are also disclosed. | 06-23-2011 |

An asynchronous processing (AP) utility pre-defines a number of custom classes to enable the asynchronous processing of requests. A JSP which contains a custom “async:include” tag indicates an asynchronous request for dynamic content. When a set of asynchronous requests are received by an application server, an “AsyncRequestDispatcher” is called to handle the asynchronous processing of each associated request dispatcher include fragment. For each fragment, a separate request thread is initiated. A placeholder corresponding to each “async:include” request is written to a servlet response buffer. HyperText Markup Language (HTML) content, which includes the placeholders, and a number of javascripts are then written to the client browser. The original thread is closed.

20150127983 | TEST, VALIDATION, AND DEBUG ARCHITECTURE - An apparatus and method is described herein for providing a test, validation, and debug architecture. At a target or base level, hardware (Design for Test or DFx) are designed into and integrated with silicon parts. A controller may provide abstracted access to such hooks, such as through an abstraction layer that abstracts low level details of the hardware DFx. In addition, the abstraction layer through an interface, such as APIs, provides services, routines, and data structures to higher-level software/presentation layers, which are able to collect test data for validation and debug of a unit/platform under test. Moreover, the architecture potentially provides tiered (multiple levels of) secure access to the test architecture. Additionally, physical access to the test architecture for a platform may be simplified through use of a unified, bi-directional test access port, while also potentially allowing remote access to perform remote test and de-bug of a part/platform under test. In essence, a complete test architecture stack is described herein for test, validation, and debug of electronic parts, devices, and platforms. | 05-07-2015 |
