Publication number: 20240117073Abstract: The present invention relates to specific binding members, particularly antibodies and fragments thereof, which bind to amplified epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and to the de2-7 EGFR truncation of the EGFR. In particular, the epitope recognized by the specific binding members, particularly antibodies and fragments thereof, is enhanced or evident upon aberrant post-translational modification. These specific binding members are useful in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. The binding members of the present invention may also be used in therapy in combination with chemotherapeutics or anti-cancer agents and/or with other antibodies or fragments thereof.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 26, 2023Publication date: April 11, 2024Inventors: Lloyd J. Old, Terrance Grant Johns, Con Panousis, Andrew M. Scott, Christoph Renner, Gerd Ritter, Achim Jungbluth, Elisabeth Stockert, Vincent Peter Collins, Webster K. Cavenee, Huei-Jen Su Huang, Antony Wilks Burgess, Edouard C. Nice, Anne Murray, George Mark

Patent number: 8223235Abstract: A method of forming an image of a moving object is provided. The method includes capturing a first digital image of a moving object using a first rolling shutter scanning in a first direction. Likewise, a second digital image of the moving object is captured using a second rolling shutter scanning in a second direction different from the first direction. The first and second digital images are processed to form a composite digital image of the moving image.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 2007Date of Patent: July 17, 2012Assignee: Motorola Mobility, Inc.Inventor: George C. John

Patent number: 7830565Abstract: A device and method for compensating for motion in image capture are provided. A processor (205) initiates partially concurrent scanning sweeps (208,209) across a digital image sensor (203) to obtain sets of digital values (210,211). At least a first set of digital values (210) and a second set of digital values (211) are stored in memory (206). An image construction module (213) compares ones of the first set of digital values (210) with ones of the second set of digital values (211) to estimate an amount of motion. The estimation may be accomplished by determining a moment between the first set of digital values (210) and the second set of digital values (211). Upon compensating for any motion, resulting digital values (412) are written to memory (206) as a compensated image. To improve an overall signal to noise ratio, noise reduction filters may also be applied to the first set of digital values (210), the second set of digital values (211), or combinations thereof.Type: GrantFiled: June 27, 2006Date of Patent: November 9, 2010Assignee: Motorola, Inc.Inventor: George C.

Patent number: 7626612Abstract: Disclosed are devices including a mobile imaging device having memory, a video camera system and a still camera system. The video camera system can be configured for video imaging, and configured to generate motion detection output. An application can be stored in memory of the device and configured to process the motion detection output of the video camera system to form motion correction input for the still camera system. The still camera system is configured for still photography imaging and configured to process the motion correction input. Also disclosed are methods of a mobile imaging device including a still camera system and a video camera system. A method includes processing the sequential image data of the video camera system to generate motion detection output, processing the motion detection output to form motion correction input and processing still image correction by the still camera system based on the motion correction input.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2006Date of Patent: December 1, 2009Assignee: Motorola, Inc.Inventors: George C. John, Doina I. Petrescu

Publication number: 20090135264Abstract: A wireless communication device for motion blur detection comprising a transceiver, an optical sensor, a motion sensor, a processor and a memory. The transceiver provides wireless communication with a remote device. The optical sensor captures an image, and the motion sensor generates motion information associated with the image captured by the optical sensor. The processor controls the wireless communication by the transceiver and, further, controls the identification and storage of the motion information associated with the image. The memory portion stores the image and the associated motion information. Upon storing, the device may transmit the image and the associate motion information to the remote device via a wireless communication link, whereby the image is processed based on the associated motion information.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 28, 2007Publication date: May 28, 2009Applicant: MOTOROLA, INC.Inventor: George C.

Publication number: 20080231726Abstract: A method and apparatus for image color correction in a portable device. A device 100 can include a housing 110, a first camera 120 coupled to the housing, the first camera configured to capture a first image 125, and a second camera 130 coupled to the housing, the second camera configured to capture a second image 135. The device can also include a controller 140 coupled to the first camera and the second camera, the controller configured to control the operations of the device. The device can further include an image correction module 150 coupled to the controller, the image correction module configured to set a white balance of the first image based on the second image captured by the second camera.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 23, 2007Publication date: September 25, 2008Applicant: MOTOROLA, INC.Inventor: GEORGE C.
