  • Publication number: 20240159738
    Abstract: A new medical technique using follicular T cells is provided. The present disclosure is based on the finding of public TfhTCR which is specific to disease factors common to various patients, and provides a method for producing follicular T cells specific to a disease, including a step of identifying a disease-related factor or a part thereof having the ability to induce a follicular T cell reactive with the disease-related factor, a step of inducing the follicular T cell specific to the disease, by using the disease-related factor or a part thereof, and a step of obtaining the follicular T cell specific to the disease.

  • Patent number: 6496156
    Abstract: An antenna feed horn assembly includes a circular feed horn having an electrically conductive wall with an edge defining a circular aperture. The antenna feed horn assembly further includes a circular waveguide mounted to the base of the circular feed horn and including an endplate. An cylindrical rod extends from the center of the endplate towards the center of the feed horn aperture along a longitudinal axis of the antenna feed horn assembly to minimize undesired reflections produced by transitions between electrically conductive material and non-electrically conductive material or dielectric within the antenna feed horn assembly. An antenna feed horn assembly can also include a splash plate opposite the endplate, the center from which another cylindrical rod extends towards the center of the endplate along the longitudinal axis of the antenna feed horn assembly to further minimize undesired reflections.

  • Patent number: 5973654
    Abstract: A receiving antenna includes a parabolic reflector and a feed horn. The feed horn includes an electrically conductive wall with an edge forming an aperture. The feed horn further includes a plurality of electrical conductors that extend from the edge to the center of the feed horn in a substantially coplanar relationship with the aperture. Each of the electrical conductors differentially affect a first polarized electrical field perpendicular to the edge adjacent the electrical conductor and a second polarized electrical field parallel to the edge adjacent the electrical conductor. In this manner, the electrical conductors can be configured to reduce the effective aperture of the feed horn in a plane, so that a first polarized horn radiation pattern produced by the feed horn can be circularized.
