20100156706 | MOBILE CELLULAR IDENTIFICATION DATABASE FOR ENHANCED GPS PERFORMANCE - A mobile station database of cellular identifications and associated position information is stored in mobile station memory. The mobile station uses the position information in the database to assist in determining a current position for the mobile based on an identifier, such as cell ID, base station BSIC, PSC, or carrier frequency. A satellite vehicle signal is searched in an uncertainty region that is a function of position information associated with the current identifier. The uncertainty region can be limited by assumed platform dynamics via predefined velocity and acceleration information. Time maintenance for the mobile station can also be achieved through known approximate position from the position database and measurement of a single satellite vehicle propagation delay. The mobile station can compare a position determination obtained through satellite vehicle signals with position database information to determine the validity of that position. Out-of-network position information is also stored in the position database and is optionally shared with a network. | 06-24-2010 |

20140011700 | THREE-DIMENSIONAL STRUCTURE OF H1N1 NUCLEOPROTEIN IN COMPLEX WITH ANTIVIRAL COMPOUNDS - The binding mode of the antiviral compounds have been characterized through a variety of biophysical and structural studies, elaborating on the proposed aggregation mechanism of action. We demonstrate the direct binding of these antiviral compounds to NP using thermal shift enhancement assay (TSE) and NMR. In addition, we have completed a detailed analysis of the oligomerization mechanism of action using dynamic light scattering, analytical ultracentrifugation, and surface plasmon resonance (SPR). Structure determination using x-ray crystallography confirmed the proposed compound-induced oligomerization mechanism of action. The co-crystal structure revealed that two compounds bound in an anti-parallel fashion bridging two NP monomers, inducing a novel non-native NP oligomer. Taken together, our data suggest a complex binding mode in which the compounds bind NP specifically in stoichiometric fashion inducing the formation of an NP oligomer without obstructing the RNA binding pocket or interfering with the native NP homo-oligomerization. | 01-09-2014 |
