Hepatitis b core antigen fusion proteins.

The hepatitis B virus (HBV) capsid is made up of a single species of protein called the core antigen (HBcAg) which self-assembles into particles. The particles are highly immunogenic and are able to present heterologous epitopes to the immune system when the epitopes are inserted into a surface-exposed region of the particles called the "el loop". The structural building blocks of the particles are tightly associated dimers of HBcAg in which the adjacent el loops are closely juxtaposed. It is proposed that sequences inserted into the el loop are conformationally restrained in the assembled particles when presented in monomeric core protein. The invention seeks to solve this problem by covalently linking core proteins as tandem copies, e.g., as dimers, so that insertions can be made independently in each copy. This is particularly useful for insertion of large sequences into the el loop because it allows such sequences to be inserted into just one copy of the core protein per tandem repeat ...

A data processing apparatus has a plurality of storage elements residing at different physical locations within the apparatus, and fault history circuitry for detecting local transient faults occurring in each storage element, and for maintaining global transient fault history data based on the detected local transient faults. Analysis circuitry monitors the global transient fault history data to determine, based on predetermined criteria, whether the global transient fault history data is indicative of random transient faults occurring within the data processing apparatus, or is indicative of a coordinated transient fault attack. The analysis circuitry is then configured to initiate a countermeasure action on determination of a coordinated transient fault attack. This provides a simple and effective mechanism for distinguishing between random transient faults that may naturally occur, and a coordinated transient fault attack that may be initiated in an attempt to circumvent the security of the data processing apparatus. 1.

An asymmetric multiprocessor system () includes a plurality of processor cores () supporting transactional memory via controllers () as well as one or more processor cores which do not support transactional memory via hardware. The controllers respond to receipt of a request for exclusive access to a lock address by determining whether or not their associated processing element is currently executing a memory transaction guarded by a lock value stored at that lock address and if their processing element is executing such a transaction, then delaying releasing the lock address for exclusive access until a predetermined condition is met. If the processing element is not executing such a guarded memory transaction, then the lock address may be unconditionally released for exclusive access. The predetermined condition may be that a threshold delay has been exceeded since the request was received and/or that the request has previously been received and refused a threshold number of times. The request may arise through execution of a transaction start instruction which serves to read a lock address from an architectural register () storing the lock address should the processor executing that transaction start instruction not already be executing a pending memory transaction. If the processor is already executing a memory transaction, then the transaction start instruction need not access the lock value stored at the lock address held within the lock address register () as it may be assumed that the lock value has already been checked. 1.

A blind authenticator performs an authentication procedure with two devices that provides the convenience offered by password storage but avoids storing the passwords themselves. Generally, the blind authenticator stores on the two devices portions of different code generation algorithms. These algorithms on the devices are incomplete—they may not execute properly on their own. During an authentication procedure, the blind authenticator communicates to the devices the remaining portions of these code generation algorithms so that the devices can execute their respective code generation algorithms. The devices then send the generated codes to the blind authenticator, which performs a code validation algorithm on the received codes to determine whether the codes are valid. The code validation algorithm is not sent to the devices, so the devices do not know what makes a code valid or invalid. 1.

A method of spectrum restoring and broadening to produce high resolution seismic data from a plurality of shot records in a seismic survey is described. The method includes the steps of: dividing each shot record into a plurality of windows, in which each of the relevant variables is practically constant, and wherein each window contains one or more trace segments; forward modelling of spectral signatures for any ghost reflections in the shot records using a best estimate of all known parameters, such that every trace segment will have an observed and a (prior) modelled spectral signature; calculating an inverse operator to correct the spectral notches in every trace segment using a constrained set of final fitted values for all the relevant variables; and, recombining the processed trace segments to produce a final set of shot records whereby, in use, the deleterious effects of the ghost reflections in the shot records can be substantially eliminated. Amplitude and phase errors, both within a single shot record and between shots, due to ghost reflections can be corrected. 1.

Apparatus comprising cache storage and a method of operating such a cache storage are provided. Data blocks in the cache storage have capability metadata stored in association therewith identifying whether the data block specifies a capability or a data value. At least one type of capability is a bounded pointer. Responsive to a write to a data block in the cache storage a capability metadata modification marker is set in association with the data block, indicative of whether the capability metadata associated with the data block has changed since the data block was stored in the cache storage. This supports the security of the system, such that modification of the use of a data block from a data value to a capability cannot take place unless intended. Efficiencies may also result when capability metadata is stored separately from other data in memory, as fewer accesses to memory can be made.
