Abstract: The present invention relates to anti-matriptase antibodies and immunoconjugates of anti-matriptase antibodies with cytotoxic agents and the use thereof for killing or inhibiting the growth of matriptase-expressing cancer cells, such as those of multiple myeloma and breast cancers. In particular, immunoconjugates comprising an anti-matriptase monoclonal antibody and anticancer agents such as auristatin, including monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE) and monomethyl auristatin F (MMAF) are introduced, which have potent antitumor activity in vivo. Moreover, importantly; there was no weight loss or other evidence of toxicity in the animals, indicating that no significant free drug was released into the circulation from the conjugate. The present invention also provides compositions comprising these new immunoconjugates and use of them for treatment of malignancies comprising cells that express matriptase.

Abstract: Systems and methods of applying a prediction model to metal oxide sensors that change their electric resistances in response to surrounding gas concentrations for predicting equilibrium state resistance values of the sensors. The method includes heating a metal oxide sensor to for a predetermined period of time for the metal oxide sensor to interact with a surrounding gas; sampling transient resistance values of the metal oxide sensor to obtain sampled transient resistance values; determining an electrical resistance of the metal oxide sensor in a chemical equilibrium state of the interaction of the metal oxide sensor and the surrounding gas via applying a neural network; and determining a concentration level of the surrounding gas at the chemical equilibrium state by mapping the determined electrical resistance to a corresponding concentration level of the surrounding gas.

Abstract: Systems and methods for edge assisted real-time object detection for mobile augmented reality are provided. The system employs a low latency offloading process, decouples the rendering pipeline from the offloading pipeline, and uses a fast object tracking method to maintain detection accuracy. The system can operate on a mobile device, such as an AR device, and dynamically offloads computationally-intensive object detection functions to an edge cloud device using an adaptive offloading process. The system also includes dynamic RoI encoding and motion vector-based object tracking processes that operate in a tracking and rendering pipeline executing on the AR device.
