International Classification:
G06F 1500
US Classification:
395800
Abstract:
A method and an apparatus for reconciling communication and locality by enabling a user/programmer to write programs in an extended procedural language which explicitly manipulate locality. The multiprocessor includes a plurality of processing elements connected to each other each processing element having a unique address and including a central processing unit for executing local CPU code and reading and writing local data and a locality manager for controlling data movement between processing elements which are cooperating on a single task by executing local locality manager code which indicates when shared data can be released and when non-local data is requested.

Methods And Apparatus For Analyzing Electrophoresis Gels
US Patent:
5904822, May 18, 1999
Filed:
Nov 13, 1996
Appl. No.:
8/748589
Inventors:
Thomas L. Casavant - Iowa City IA
Assignee:
The University of Iowa Research Foundation - Iowa City IA
International Classification:
G01N27/26
US Classification:
204461
Abstract:
This invention relates to a system and methods for the straightening an electrophoresis gel image in the vertical and horizontal directions, and for analyzing a straightened gel image. The system includes an input unit for receiving raw data from the electrophoresis gel, a straightening unit for providing a straightened gel image, an output unit for portraying the raw data from the electrophoresis gel and the straightened gel image, and a an analyzing unit for analyzing the data portrayed in the straightened gel image. The system features a dye boost feature for boosting the intensity of bands, filtering means for modifying the gel image, and a genotype editing feature for editing the results of an automatic gel analysis. The system allows for manual and automatic analysis of the straightened gel image according to a specified set of analysis parameters providing a range of analysis stringency levels.

International Classification:
A61K038/17, C07K014/47, C07H021/04, C12N015/86
US Classification:
435069100, 514012000, 530324000, 435320100, 435456000, 435325000, 536023500
Abstract:
The present invention employs an iterative application of BLAST and Hidden Markov Model (HMM) based searches which identified 34 β-defensin genes in the human genome and 48 in the mouse genome. The present invention relates to novel antimicrobial peptides and derivatives thereof as well as the β-defensin genes encoding the peptides. The invention further relates to methods of use of the peptides including a method of inhibiting microbial growth by administering an effective amount of the peptide alone or in combination with other antimicrobial agents or antibiotics.
