Publication number: 20250101007Abstract: The present disclosure provides a class of compounds including a ligand moiety that specifically binds to a cell surface asialoglycoprotein receptor (ASGPR). The cell surface ASGPR binding compounds can trigger the receptor to internalize into the cell a bound compound. The ligand moieties of this disclosure can be linked to a variety of moieties of interest without impacting the specific binding to, and function of, the cell surface receptor ASGPR. Also provided are compounds that are conjugates of the ligand moieties linked to a biomolecule, such as an antibody, which conjugates can harness cellular pathways to remove specific proteins of interest from the cell surface or from the extracellular milieu. Also provided herein methods of using the conjugates to target a polypeptide of interest for sequestration and/or lysosomal degradation.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 9, 2024Publication date: March 27, 2025Inventors: Brett Bradley BUSCH, Justin Thomas ERNST, Garrick K.

Publication number: 20070286455Abstract: A watermarked signal is pre-filtered based on an analysis of signal characteristics that identify filter parameters that yield better correspondence between the filtered watermarked signal and the digital watermark. The watermark detection method computes signal characteristics of a host digitally watermarked signal, and analyzes the characteristics to determine an extent to which the signal characteristics correspond to characteristics of the digital watermark. The method adapts parameters of digital watermark prediction applied to the watermarked signal based on the extent to which the signal characteristics correspond to the characteristics of the digital watermark. In one embodiment, different filters or filter parameters are selected to match different signal characteristics of the watermarked signal with the characteristics of the digital watermark.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 12, 2007Publication date: December 13, 2007Inventor: Brett Bradley

Publication number: 20070214406Abstract: Directional albedo of a particular article, such as an identity card, is measured and stored. When the article is later presented, it can be confirmed to be the same particular article by re-measuring the albedo function, and checking for correspondence against the earlier-stored data. The re-measuring can be performed through us of a handheld optical device, such as a camera-equipped cell phone. The albedo function can serve as random key data in a variety of cryptographic applications. The function can be changed during the life of the article. A variety of other features are also detailed.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 19, 2007Publication date: September 13, 2007Inventors: Geoffrey Rhoads, Tony Rodriguez, Brett Bradley
