20110305713 | METHODS AND COMPOSITIONS TO ENHANCE VACCINE EFFICACY BY REPROGRAMMING REGULATORY T CELLS - The immunoregulatory enzyme indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) is expressed by a subset of murine plasmacytoid DCs (pDCs) in tumor-draining LNs, where it can potently activate Foxp3 regulatory T cells (Tregs). We now show that IDO functions as a molecular switch in tumor-draining LNs, maintaining Tregs in their normal suppressive phenotype when IDO was active, but allowing inflammation-induced conversion of Tregs to a polyfunctional T-helper phenotype similar to proinflammatory TH17 cells when IDO was blocked. In vitro, conversion of Tregs to the TH17-like phenotype was driven by antigen-activated effector T cells, and required IL-6 produced by activated pDCs. IDO regulated this conversion by dominantly suppressing production of IL-6 in pDCs, in a GCN2-kinase dependent fashion. In vivo, using a model of established B16 melanoma, the combination of an IDO-inhibitor drug plus anti-tumor vaccine caused upregulation of IL-6 in pDCs and in situ conversion of a majority of Tregs to the TH17 phenotype, with marked enhancement of CD8 | 12-15-2011 |

20110129413 | Bioconjugation of Calcium Phosphosilicate Nanoparticles For Selective Targeting of Cells In Vivo - Non-aggregating resorbable calcium phosphosilicate nanoparticles (CPNPs) are bioconjugated to targeting molecules that are specific for particular cells. The CPNPs are stable particles at normal physiological pH. Chemotherapy and imaging agents may be integrally formed with the CPNPs so that they are compartmentalized within the CPNPs. In this manner, the agents are protected from interaction with the environment at normal physiological pH. However, once the CPNPs have been taken up, at intracellular pH, the CPNPs dissolve releasing the agent. Thus, chemotherapeutic or imaging agents are delivered to specific cells and permit the treatment and/or imaging of those cells. Use of the bioconjugated CPNPs both limits the amount of systemic exposure to the agent and delivers a higher concentration of the agent to the cell. The methods and principals of bioconjugating CPNPs are taught by examples of bioconjugation of targeting molecules for breast cancer, pancreatic cancer, and leukemia. | 06-02-2011 |

20080230595 | Automated audio, video, and data extraction - A system and method for loading, processing and classifying media used in an automated system is disclosed. A robotic arm, or similar device, is used to pick a piece of media from a set of unprocessed discs in a first location and place that medium into a suitable media reader, such as a CDROM reader or DVD reader. A computing system, in communication with the media reader, determines whether the media was properly processed. If so, it is placed in a second location. If it is not properly processed, the robotic arm places the media in a third location, where it can be manually inspected and analyzed at a later time. In another embodiment, the computing system discriminates between various reasons for the inability to process the media and places the offending media in a location designated specifically for that failure type. At a convenient time, manual inspection and intervention can be used to correct the failed media. The system can also be used to sort media based on other criteria, such as media type, defect rate, or type of content. In all cases, the computing system also optionally generates an import log that tracks all discrepancies. | 09-25-2008 |
20080232219 | High throughput system for legacy media conversion - A system and method for creating digital content from a plurality of legacy media formats, such as paper, CD, VHS, DVD, etc. A coordination node is utilized to balance the computation load between the various processing units, particularly those involved in the second stage of operation. Extraction units are used to input various types of information into the system as digital media. Once the information has been extracted, the coordination node and its associated software determine the load on each processing unit in the second stage and based on this and other factors, determine which processing unit will perform the conversion. The output is then stored in storage devices. This approach maximizes system utilization, while being more cost efficient than traditional extraction systems. | 09-25-2008 |
20080235217 | System and method for creating, verifying and integrating metadata for audio/video files - The present invention discloses a system and method for insuring the integrity and format of metadata. In the preferred embodiment, a local database is created into which metadata information can be stored. Since the database is maintained locally, it can be guaranteed to have correct and complete metadata information. Metadata searches are preferably performed hierarchically, such that the local database is checked first for the required data. If the data is not resident in the local database, the traditional search of third-party databases is performed. Information retrieved from third-party databases is then verified, such as manually. Once the metadata has been checked and approved, the metadata is then stored locally. A set of rules is also created, which define the requirements and the file manipulations that must be preformed on the metadata for each type of target device. | 09-25-2008 |
20080235524 | System for peripheral re-enumeration - The present invention reduces the need for peripherals to be physically removed and re-installed when a malfunction occurs. In one embodiment, a device is placed in series between the system and the peripheral. This device controls the passage of power to the peripheral. When the peripheral malfunctions, the device disallows passage of power to the peripheral, and at some later point restores power, effectively emulating a physical removal and re-installation. In a second embodiment, additional software is added to the software driver for the peripheral. In this scenario, the additional software, upon detecting that the peripheral is incommunicative, would remove power being supplied to the peripheral by the system. Again, at some later point, power is restored, thereby emulating a disconnect/reconnect sequence. | 09-25-2008 |
20080235719 | Image analysis for use with automated audio extraction - A system and method for identifying multiple discs, prior to their use in an automated system is disclosed.

The robotic arm then holds the disc in position, where an imaging device captures an image of the disc. A computing system, in communication with the imaging device, determines whether a single disc is present, or multiple discs are present. Based on the result of this determination, the disc is either placed in the media reader for further processing, or rejected and placed in one of the output receptacles. | 09-25-2008 |
