  • Publication number: 20240166751
    Abstract: Mutant epitopes encoded by cancer genes are virtually always located in the interior of cells, making them invisible to conventional antibodies. We generated single chain variable fragments (scFvs) specific for mutant peptides presented on the cell surface by human leukocyte antigen (HLA) molecules. These scFvs can be converted to full-length antibodies, termed MANAbodies, targeting “Mutation Associated Neo-Antigens” bound to HLA. A phage display library representing a highly diverse array of single-chain variable fragment sequences was first designed and constructed. A competitive selection protocol was then used to identify clones specific for peptides bound to pre-defined HLA types. In this way, we obtained scFvs, including one specific for a peptide encoded by a common KRAS mutant and another by a common EGFR mutant. Molecules targeting MANA can be developed that specifically react with mutant peptide-HLA complexes even when these peptides differ by only one amino acid from the normal, wild-type form.

  • Patent number: 11990842
    Abstract: A multi-phase LLC power converter comprises a plurality of LLC phases each including a resonant tank and a switching stage. The resonant tank includes a resonant inductor, a resonant capacitor, and a parallel inductance. The switching stage switches an input power at an operating frequency to apply a switched power to the resonant tank, with the switched power approximating an alternating current (AC) waveform having a switching frequency. A secondary-side controller varies the switching frequency to control an output voltage of the multi-phase LLC power converter. A primary-side controller measures primary-side currents, calculates an initial switch-controlled capacitor (SCC) conduction phase angle for each of the LLC phases, and operates an SCC switch in accordance with an SCC conduction phase angle to adjust the capacitance of the resonant capacitor of an LLC phase to cause each of the LLC phases to have equal resonant frequencies.

  • Publication number: 20240128737
    Abstract: A system and method are provided for protecting semiconductor components from thermal failure in an electronic circuit interrupter. The electronic trip unit (ETU) is configured to determine what range of current the detected current signal corresponds to, out of several ranges categorized as being either non-fault/normal, non-severe fault, and severe fault. The ETU then selects a mode of operation in which to operate based on the determined range of current. In modes of operation corresponding to a fault condition, the ETU monitors certain characteristics of the current such as magnitude and/or rate of rise, and if the aforementioned current characteristics exceed a specified threshold for a minimum interval of time, the ETU will trip the electronic interrupter. If, however, the aforementioned current characteristics fall below the specified threshold prior to the minimum interval of time elapsing, the ETU will not trip the electronic interrupter.

  • Patent number: 11960832
    Abstract: Machine learning, artificial intelligence, and other computer-implemented methods are used to identify various semantically important chunks in documents, automatically label them with appropriate datatypes and semantic roles, and use this enhanced information to assist authors and to support downstream processes. Chunk locations, datatypes, and semantic roles can often be automatically determined from what is here called “context”, to wit, the combination of their formatting, structure, and content; those of adjacent or nearby content; overall patterns of occurrence in a document, and similarities of all these things across documents (mainly but not exclusively among documents in the same document set).

  • Publication number: 20240076259
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for ozonolysis of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in a liquid CO2 reaction environment. It has been unexpectedly discovered that oxygen-containing functional groups can be added to PAH substrates while substantially avoiding combustion reactions and while reducing or minimizing formation of energetic intermediates. Because the formation of energetic intermediates is minimal, the ozonolysis can be performed at temperatures near ambient (e.g., between ?10° C. and 50° C.) while still achieving a satisfactory safety profile. In various aspects, ozonolysis can occur while forming a reduced or minimized amount of water, such as forming substantially no water in the reaction environment.

    Abstract: A method and system for determining interaction sites between biosequences is described herein. A dataset of contact data for a plurality of biomolecule pairs is obtained to account their frequency of occurrence. Statistical weights are obtained for each frequency of occurrence. A statistical vector space (SRV) is decomposed through principal component decomposition. The r-vectors of the SRV are re-projected back to a new SRV with a new set of SR coordinates. A feature vector is generated and inputted into a predictor for outputting a likelihood of an interaction site. A method and system for determining significant attribute-value associations (AVAs) from relational datasets is also described. A frequency of occurrence of attribute value pairs and statistical weights may be obtained for each frequency of occurrence. Principal component decomposition and re-projection of AVA vectors may also be performed. The disentangle SR of AVAs could be used to identify AVA related to subgroups/classes.
