Filed:

Oct 16, 1997

Appl. No.:

8/951462

Inventors:

Christopher J. Herbstritt - Frederick MD
Michael G. Pepe - Frederick MD

Assignee:

BioWhittaker Technologies, Inc. - Wilmington DE

International Classification:

G01N 3353
G01N 33567
C07K 1600
C12P 2108

US Classification:

435 71

Abstract:

The present invention is directed to monoclonal antibodies which specifically bind to a Limulus. alpha. sub. 2 -macroglobulin. Preferred monoclonal antibodies inhibit the enzymatic activation of a Limulus amebocyte lysate to form a gel or to cleave a chromogenic substrate in the presence of an endotoxin but not in the presence of a glucan. The monoclonal antibodies can be used, inter alia, to purify a Limulus. alpha. sub. 2 -macroglobulin, and the preferred antibodies can be used in a method for specifically detecting a glucan in a test sample using an amebocyte lysate.

Abstract:

An example method can include detecting a transaction associated with an application; identifying a characteristic of the transaction; determining a priority for network traffic associated with the application, based on the identified characteristic; selecting, from a plurality of types of networks that are communicatively coupled with the user device and based on the priority for the network traffic, a network type for the network traffic; and causing the network traffic to be routed, from the user device, through a network device associated with the selected network type.

International Classification:

H04W 72/08
H04W 72/04

Abstract:

A system described herein may provide a technique for identifying User Equipment (“UEs”) associated with relevant users, such as “personal” UEs associated with first responders, based on the occurrence of an event, notifying the UEs of the event, and modifying radio access network (“RAN”) parameters such that the identified UEs are provided with priority access. Further, such modifications may be temporary (e.g., reverted after the event has occurred). In this manner, personal UEs associated with relevant users may be dynamically provided priority access in situations where such access may be beneficial, without needing to permanently provide the priority access to such UEs.
