  • Patent number: 10562280
    Abstract: A method of forming a composite article is disclosed that involves providing a press having first and second platens, a cellulosic fiber substrate having a first thickness, and a layer of material such as a wood veneer, foil, or non-creped paper, where the layer of material has a thickness less than the thickness of the cellulosic fiber substrate. A layer of bonding material is placed onto the cellulosic fiber substrate or the layer of material, and the layer of material is placed onto the cellulosic fiber substrate so that the bonding material is between the layer of material and the cellulosic fiber substrate.

  • Publication number: 20200024366
    Abstract: The present invention relates to antibodies with pH dependent binding to its antigen such that the affinity for antigen binding at physiological pH (i.e., pH 7.4) is greater than at endosomal pH (i.e., pH 6.0 or 5.5). In other words, the KD or koff ratio at pH 5.5/pH 7.4 or at pH 6.0/pH 7.4 is more than, or ranges between, 2, 3, 4, 8, 10, 16, 20, 30, 40, or 100 or more. Such pH dependent antibodies preferentially dissociate from the antigen in the endosome. This can increase antibody half life, as compared to antibodies with equivalent KDs at pH 7.4 but with no pH dependent binding, when the antigen is one that undergoes antigen-mediated clearance (e.g., PCSK9). Antibodies with pH dependent binding can decrease total antigen half life when the antigen undergoes reduced clearance when bound to antibody (e.g., IL6). Antibodies with pH dependent binding can also prolong the decrease in antigen which is not antibody-bound.

  • Publication number: 20200007688
    Abstract: A call transfer method applicable in a call transfer device for use in a vehicle controls a communication device to communicate with a mobile phone of a driver when a vehicle is started. When an incoming call to the driver is detected, it is determined whether the incoming call meets one or more predetermined conditions before a transfer of the call can take place. A pressure detecting device is installed under every seat for passengers and if the presence of at least one passenger is detected, the incoming call to the driver can be handed off to the phone of the passenger. If no passengers are being carried, other options can be employed in relation to the incoming call.
