Abstract: Disclosed are an anti-CD19 humanized antibody prepared from a murine monoclonal antibody, a chimeric antigen receptor containing the humanized antibody, and an immune cell expressing the humanized antibody. Not only does the humanized antibody of the present invention not produce an anti-antibody response (AAR) and a human anti-mouse antibody response (HAMA), but same also has better affinity than a murine antibody, and has excellent activity and safety, thereby providing a new means for treating CD19-expressing tumors.

Abstract: A wavefront sensing technique using Polarization Rotation INTerferometry (PRINT) provides a self-referencing, high-resolution, direct measurement of the spatially dependent phase profile of a given optical beam. A self-referencing technique is used to create a reference beam in the orthogonal polarization and a polarization measurement to measure the spatial-dependent polarization parameters to directly determine the absolute phase profile of the beam under test. A high-resolution direct measurement of the spatially-resolved phase profile of one or more optical beams is realized.

Abstract: According to the invention, a highly optically dispersive medium is one in which the absolute value of the group index of refraction of the medium is equal to or greater than four. An optical spectroscopic parameter detection and/or measurement apparatus may be in the form of an interferometer, a spectral interferometer, a spectrometer, a wavemeter, a tunable narrowband filter The embodied devices include a highly dispersive medium that appropriately can facilitate either a slow-light effect or a fast-light effect, which is disposed in a propagation path of an electro-magnetic (EM) input field and, a detector disposed in a manner to detect an output field resulting from the input filed interaction with the highly dispersive medium. Methods involve measuring a spectroscopic parameter using an optical spectroscopic parameter detection and/or measurement apparatus that incorporates a highly dispersive medium.

In various non-limiting aspects, the apparatus may be in the form of an interferometer, a spectral interferometer, a spectrometer, a wavemeter, a tunable narrowband filter, and other such devices. Various non-limiting, exemplary apparatus may include a two-beam interferometer, a multiple-beam interferometer, a grating-based interferometer/spectrometer, a Fourier-Transform interferometer, and others.

Abstract: A method of capturing and processing a digital image with a depth channel comprises receiving reflective and deflective light beams from an object, sensing the received light beams to generate digital images with distance information, storing the digital images, including the depth channel, and analyzing and processing the digital images with the depth channel. The original two-dimensional digital image may be processed or recreated as quasi three-dimensional digital images through the adjustment of such depth channel attached to the digital image. The system includes generally at least a lens and a CCD unit. The lens is attached to a housing of the system, such as a camera. The storage device and the CPU are mounted within the housing. Further a grid beam light unit may be provided as either an internal or external unit.

The camera comprises a casing, an objective lens, a film loading back, a view finder unit, at least one reflex mirror turntable upward and downward, a still video image capturing unit provided at the focusing screen of the view finder or at a mirror plane of the focusing screen in the lower portion of the casing, means for controlling camera operated in three modes of a video mode, a film mode and a dual mode; and a programmed releasing button for starting the image capturing unit and releasing an film exposure shutter in accordance with one of the three mode selected. The view finder unit can be an electronic view finder system. The reflex mirror can turn from a normally inclined facing up position to a declined facing down position and then turn further up to a horizontal facing down position and return the normal position afterwards.
