  • Publication number: 20220267393
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for producing active hepatocyte growth factor activator (HGFA) and active hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) without using animal serum. The present invention relates to a method for producing active HGFA without using animal serum. The method is characterized in that it comprises a step of obtaining a culture supernatant comprising pro-HGFA by culturing mammalian cells expressing inactive hepatocyte growth factor activator (pro-HGFA) in a medium without serum, and a step of adjusting the culture supernatant comprising pro-HGFA obtained in the above step to weakly acidic to convert pro-HGFA into active HGFA. The present invention also relates to a method for producing active HGF with HGFA produced by said method.

  • Patent number: 11419632
    Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods are provided for transseptal access of septa within a patient. The device can be advanced to a septum, e.g., towards a fossa ovalis. Instead of applying positive pressure to “tent” the septum, a negative pressure is applied to a lumen within a sheath, e.g., within an elongated member slidable within the sheath, via a negative pressure source such as a syringe on the proximal end of the sheath. This results in the septum pulling inward. The sheath employs a stationary needle-like central core component contained within the lumen of the sheath that punctures the septum when the same is pulled passed it by the negative pressure. The stationary needle-like central core component may be hollow and may form a portion of the elongated member or may be coupled to a distal end thereof.

  • Patent number: 11422958
    Abstract: A quantum processor performs input and output which may be performed synchronously. The quantum processor executes a problem to generate a classical output state, which is read out at least partially by an I/O system. The I/O system also transmits a classical input state to by the I/O system, which may include the same qubit-proximate devices used for read-out. The classical input state is written to the qubits, and the quantum processor executes based on the classical input state (e.g., by performing reverse annealing to transform the classical input state to quantum state).

  • Patent number: 11424521
    Abstract: A superconducting circuit may include a transmission line having at least one transmission line inductance, a superconducting resonator, and a coupling capacitance that communicatively couples the superconducting resonator to the transmission line. The transmission line inductance may have a value selected to at least partially compensate for a variation in a characteristic impedance of the transmission line, the variation caused at least in part by the coupling capacitance. The coupling capacitance may be distributed along the length of the transmission line. A superconducting circuit may include a transmission line having at least one transmission line capacitance, a superconducting resonator, and a coupling inductance that communicatively couples the superconducting resonator to the transmission line. The transmission line capacitance may be selected to at least partially compensate for a variation in coupling strength between the superconducting resonator and the transmission line.
