US Classification:

709221, 709204, 709220, 709222, 709226, 709238, 709241, 718100, 718101, 718102, 718103, 718104, 718105, 718106

Abstract:

An apparatus, method and system to enable dynamic replication of Web servers across a wide area in response to access patterns by Web clients as well as in response to customer requests. The method for dynamically replicating one or more parent nodes on a network in response to a user request by a policy manager. The policy manager transmits the user request to an event module. The event module transmits the user request to a data consistency module, wherein the data consistency module maintains integrity of the data on the parent node. The event system communicates with a resource management module to ensure proper utilization of network resources, and transmits the routing request to a request routing module for appropriately balancing the network load. The request routing module is capable of providing optimal routing based on the network resources.

International Classification:

US Classification:

705 37, 705 26

Abstract:

A collective procurement management system which permits multiple potential purchasers of a specific item or service to submit orders for the item or service on an ongoing basis. As orders enter the system, they are grouped such that potential purchasers are may “cooperate” in generating a collective bulk order so that all participants may obtain discount/volume pricing. Once a threshold level of order volume is obtained as a result of multiple orders, the grouped order is submitted to the supplier for fulfillment. The order is then fulfilled at a volume pricing level although individual portions of the collective order are routed to a plurality of purchasers. The present invention also includes a Reverse Auction Process (RAP) which, in one embodiment, operates to allow potential purchasers to select a product or service and set a maximum price that they are willing to pay for the same. Following submission of this information to the system, possibly including orders for the same item from other potential buyers, potential vendors bid to supply the item to the relevant buyers requesting the item.

International Classification:

A63F 13/00

US Classification:

463 31

Abstract:

The APPARATUSES, METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR AN INTERACTIVE PROXIMITY DISPLAY TETHER (IPDT) teaches an Interactive Proximity Display Tether (IPDT), which provides an interactive communications and display tether between source and target devices. The IPDT allows users to employ source mobile devices on the larger display of target devices. For example, a user may employ a source device, such as the iPhone, and launch a IPDT implemented video game to employ larger display devices as targets, which allows for greater utility in operating various applications, and particularly in game environments. Devices like the iPhone, which allow use of accelerometers whereby the entire device may act as an input (e.g., game) controller are enhanced with IPDT by allowing a user to both control inputs to the application (e.g., control the game) while still being able to fully view the results of the application.

US Classification:

709220

Abstract:

The APPARATUSES, METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR AN INTERACTIVE PROXIMITY DISPLAY TETHER WITH REMOTE CO-PLAY (“CO-PLAY”) teaches an interactive cooperative gameplay platform, which provides an interactive communications and display tether between a source device and a remote display device, and between a source device and a co-play client device. The CO-PLAY allows multiple users to operate an application platform, e.g., in game environments. For example, a user may employ a mobile device, such as the Apple iPhone, and launch a CO-PLAY implemented video game to query and connect to an available client device (e.g., another Apple iPhone) to co-play the video game. In one implementation, the CO-PLAY may tether the mobile device with a remote display device for visualization on a larger display.

International Classification:

A61K 3816

US Classification:

514 12, 514 2

Abstract:

The invention provides methods and compositions for inhibiting the development of intracellular parasites by treating such cells with an effective concentration of a magainin, PGLa or XPF peptide under conditions whereby the development of the parasite in the cell is inhibited. The targeted parasites have been found to increase in the accessibility of the plasma membrane of said cell to the peptide, and particularly, to effect an increase in the cytopathic, especially lytic, sensitivity of the cell to the peptide. In one application, the invention provides methods for treating blood infected with a Plasmodium species, by contacting the blood with magainin 2 under conditions whereby the development of the Plasmodium in the infected erythrocytes is inhibited and the infected erythrocytes evidence relatively increased cytolytic sensitivity to the magainin.
