Patent number: 11916345Abstract: A connection terminal for connecting a conductor is formed as a direct plug-in terminal and includes a clamping spring arranged in a housing. The clamping spring includes a resilient clamping leg which can move into an open and locking position by pressing down an actuating device. The housing contains a conductor insertion channel for insertion of the conductor into a clamping point between the free end of the clamping leg and a busbar. The actuating device includes a pressing element and a pivoting element which interacts with the pressing element at least when the clamping point is being opened. At least one release device is provided for releasing the locking state of the clamping leg of the clamping spring. The release device is designed in such a way that the locking position can be released again by the action of the conductor on the release device when it is inserted, wherein the pivoting element acts on the pressing element and the pressing element acts on the clamping leg.Type: GrantFiled: September 2, 2020Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignee: Weidmüller Interface GmbH & Co. KGInventors: Marc Böcker, Ralf Schumacher, Karlo Stjepanovic, Walter Hanning, Till Schmitz, Stefan Aporius, Jens Oesterhaus

Patent number: 9139639Abstract: The present invention provides recombinant proteins comprising the amino acid sequence of an intracellular segment of CD40 and an amino acid sequence mediating the association of the recombinant protein with the constant region of an immunoglobulin heavy chain. The recombinant proteins according to the present invention are—useful for inducing clonal expansion of a B cell having a predetermined antigen-specificity without the need for T cell or CD40L mediated co-stimulation. Thus, the present invention provides tools for clonal expansion of B cells specific for an antigen of interest and the production of B cells secreting antibodies specific for an antigen of interest. The recombinant proteins of the present invention may also be used for generating fully human monoclonal antibodies with a predetermined antigen-specificity from the B cell repertoire of a human subject.Type: GrantFiled: December 16, 2014Date of Patent: September 22, 2015Assignees: BioNTech AG, Universitatsmedizin Der Johannes Gutenberg-Universitat MainzInventors: Ugur Sahin, Ozlem Tureci, Torsten Seppmann, Holger Hoff, Jens Schumacher
