  • Patent number: 11980669
    Abstract: An antibody production process in mammalian cells in which engineered unpaired cysteine residues are post-translationally modified and capped with particular chemical entities, which capped antibodies are well suited to further site-specific conjugation steps to form antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) or protein drug conjugates; ADCs produced using these capped antibodies including in particular ADCs formed by the selective reduction of the capped antibodies' cysteine residues, and ADCs formed using chemical handles such as aldehyde/azide/alkyne biorthogonal groups, which permit additional drug conjugation chemistry; and uncapped antibodies produced by cells in low cysteine, cysteine and glutathione media, and ADCs produced via direct conjugation to these uncapped antibodies.

  • Publication number: 20240106201
    Abstract: A laser diode includes a substrate, an epitaxial structure, an electrode contacting layer and an optical cladding layer. The epitaxial structure is disposed on the substrate, and is formed with a ridge structure opposite to the substrate. The electrode contacting layer is disposed on a top surface of the ridge structure. The optical cladding layer has a refractive index smaller than that of the electrode contacting layer. The optical cladding layer includes a first cladding portion which covers side walls of the ridge structure, and a second cladding portion which is disposed on a portion of the top surface of the ridge structure. A method for manufacturing the abovementioned laser diode is also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 11908037
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method and system for large-capacity image steganography and recovery based on an invertible neural networks. The method is intended to embed one or more hidden images into a single host image, and recover all the hidden images from a stego image. The method designs an image steganography model that supports bidirectional mapping. The model includes cascaded invertible modules containing a host branch and a hidden branch. A hidden image is embedded into a host image through forward mapping to form a stego image, and the host image and the hidden image are separated and recovered from the single stego image through reverse mapping.
