20120107329 | EGFR and PAR2 Regulation of Intestinal Permeability - The present invention provides methods for diagnosing and treating an immune-mediated disease, e.g., an autoimmune disease, an allergy or an inflammatory disease. Diagnosis is made by detecting a heterozygous or homozygous genotype of haptoglobin 2 or by detecting and quantifying pre-haptoglobin 2 mRNA or protein. After diagnosis, the disease may be treated by decreasing cell permeability leading to increased transepithelial electrical resistance, for example, by administering an antibody directed against single chain zonulin thereby inhibiting epidermal growth factor receptor and inhibiting proteinase-activated receptor 2 (PAR | 05-03-2012 |

20100023673 | AVOIDANCE OF SELF EVICTION CAUSED BY DYNAMIC MEMORY ALLOCATION IN A FLASH MEMORY STORAGE DEVICE - The operating firmware of a portable flash memory storage device is stored in the relatively large file storage memory, which is non executable. It is logically parsed into overlays to fit into an executable memory. The overlays can be of differing sizes to organize function calls efficiently while minimizing dead space or unnecessarily separating functions that should be within one or a group of frequently accessed overlays. For an overlay having functions that require data allocation, the data allocation can cause eviction. This self eviction is avoided altogether or after initial runtime. | 01-28-2010 |

20090210615 | OVERLAY MANAGEMENT IN A FLASH MEMORY STORAGE DEVICE - The operating firmware of a portable flash memory storage device is stored in the relatively large file storage memory, which is non executable. It is logically parsed into overlays to fit into an executable memory. The overlays can be of differing sizes to organize function calls efficiently while minimizing dead space or unnecessarily separating functions that should be within one or a group of frequently accessed overlays. Eviction of the overlays is preferably carried out on a least recently loaded basis. These features minimize latency caused by calling overlays unnecessarily and minimize fragmentation of the random access memory used for the overlays. | 08-20-2009 |
