| 20110089956 | Fast Response Capacitive Gauging System Featuring Steep Slope Filter Discrimination Circuit - The high speed, high accuracy capacitive gauging system employs an oscillator fed through steep slope filter that is discriminates between very small changes in capacitance even in the presence of electrical noise. During intervals when the probe tip is retracted, the oscillator frequency is calibrated to match the sweet spot in the center of the linear operative region of the steep slope filter. This calibrates the system to overcome the effects of varying temperature and humidity in the manufacturing environment. | 04-21-2011 |

| 20120018704 | UNIAXIAL TENSILE STRAIN IN SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICES - A semiconductor device structure comprises an active layer and a buffer layer. The active layer is a quantum well structure. There is a lattice mismatch between the buffer layer and the active layer which places the active layer under biaxial compressive strain. Uniaxial tensile strain is applied to the active layer to reduce compressive strain on the active layer in a second direction but not in a first direction. This favours hole and electron mobility in the first direction, rendering the semiconductor device structure suitable for the formation of both p-channel and n-channel devices. | 01-26-2012 |

| 20110139686 | METHOD OF REMOVING HYDROGEN SULFIDE - The invention provides a method of removing sulfides from viscous petroleum streams such as asphalt, crude oil, and oil slurry using zinc octoate in which the molar ratio of zinc complexed with octanoic acid is not 1:2. Because zinc has a +2 charge and carboxylic acid has a −1 charge, it was previously assumed that all zinc octoates must have a 1:2 ratio of zinc moieties to carboxylic acid. Zinc octoate formulations however, that contain a non 1:2 ratio, and those with 2.1:3 to 1.97:3 in particular, have in fact been shown to work better. In addition, these non 1:2 formulations have lower viscosity and therefore are easier to use than the previous formulations including a 1:2 ratio. | 06-16-2011 |

| 20110104644 | Methods of treatment of the dental pulp and filling root canals using water-based material - Improved compositions comprising a mixture of particulate materials with water-based liquids containing water-soluble polymers and surfactants are provided. Examples of particulate powders include mixtures of calcium silicate, calcium aluminate, calcium sulfate, and hydroxyapatite. Examples of water-soluble polymers include polyvinyl alcohols, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, partially hydrolyzed polyvinyl acetates, polyacrylic acid, and polymethacrylic acid. Surfactants such as sodium dodecyl sulfate are added to the composition to interact with the polymeric materials. The compositions are particularly suitable for sealing and obturating dental root canals and root apices. The composition provides a stable barrier to bacterial and fluid leakage in the root canal system of a tooth. In addition, the compositions help promote the growth of new bone and tissue surrounding the root-tip area or dentin tissue that covers an injured or amputated pulp. | 05-05-2011 |

| 20110117137 | TAPASIN AUGMENTATION FOR ENHANCED IMMUNE RESPONSE - Tapasin (Tpn) is a member of the MHC Class I loading complex and functions to bridge the TAP peptide transporter to MHC Class I molecules. Metastatic human carcinomas express low levels of the antigen processing components (APCs) tapasin and TAP, and display few functional surface MHC Class I molecules. As a result, carcinomas are often unrecognizable by effector cytolytic T cells (CTLs). Tpn alone can enhance survival and immunity of mammals against tumors, but additionally, Tpn and TAP can be used together as components of immunotherapeutic vaccine protocols to eradicate tumors. | 05-19-2011 |

| 20100322963 | LOW DOSE INOCULATION WITH TAP FOR ANTI-TUMOR IMMUNITY - A safe and efficacious method of inducing protective immunity in animals against TAP-1 deficient metastatic melanoma is disclosed. The method involves treating the animals with relatively small amounts of a recombinant non-replicating adenovirus encoding human TAP-1 to promote and maintain long term anti-tumor survival, and enhanced memory T-cell subpopulations, even when the treatment effects only a small fraction of metastatic tumor cells. | 12-23-2010 |

| 20100080776 | METHOD OF ENHANCING AN IMMUNE RESPONSE - A method of enhancing an immune response to an antigen is provided. The method involves augmenting the level of a TAP molecule in a target cell bearing the antigen. Preferably, the TAP molecules enhanced by administering a nucleic acid sequence encoding a TAP-1 and/or TAP-2 molecule. The method is useful in treating infectious diseases and cancer. | 04-01-2010 |
| 20100166781 | HAT ACETYLATION PROMOTERS AND USES OF COMPOSITIONS THEREOF IN PROMOTING IMMUNOGENICITY - The invention provides processes and compositions for enhancing the immunogenicity of TAP-1 expression-deficient cells by increasing the presentation of MHC Class I surface molecules for detection by cytotoxic T-lymphocyte cells through increased TAP-1 expression, which comprises administering to the TAP-1 expression-deficient cells a TAP-1 expression increasing amount of a bio-acceptable substance that promotes transcription of TAP-1 gene in the cells to cause enhanced MHC Class I surface expression of the cells. The bio-acceptable substance may be a histone H3 deacetylase inhibitor, such as trichostatin A, a transcriptional co-activator having intrinsic histone acetyl transferase activity or a histone acetyl transferase comprising at least one member of the CBP/p300 protein family. The process and compositions increase the immunogenicity of the target cells to enhance their destruction by cytotoxic lymphocytes. | 07-01-2010 |

| 20110212131 | METHOD FOR ENHANCING AN IMMUNE RESPONSE - A vaccine composition for combating Pox viridae viral infections in living organisms such as mammals (including humans) comprises TAP-1 and/or TAP-2 to augment the antigen processing capability of infected cells and hence their immunogenicity. The composition may be used alone or, preferably, as an immunogenicity-enhancing adjuvant with a pox antigen-based vaccine, especially in the treatment or prophylaxis of viral infections such as smallpox. | 09-01-2011 |
