  • Publication number: 20210363269
    Abstract: Provided herein, inter alia, are isolated antibodies that bind an extracellular domain of a human SIRP-? v1 polypeptide (e.g., the D1 domain), an extracellular domain of a human SIRP-? v2 polypeptide or both. In some embodiments, the antibodies also bind an extracellular domain of a monkey SIRP-? polypeptide, an extracellular domain of a SIRP-? polypeptide, an extracellular domain of a human SIRP-? polypeptide, and/or an extracellular domain of a human SIRP-? polypeptide. In some embodiments, the antibodies block or do not binding between an extracellular domain of a human SIRP-? polypeptide and an IgSF domain of a human CD47 polypeptide, while in some embodiments, the antibodies reduce the affinity of a human SIRP-? polypeptide for binding an IgSF domain of a human CD47 polypeptide. Further provided herein are methods, polynucleotides, vectors, and host cells related thereto.

  • Publication number: 20210225334
    Abstract: An electronic display may include a pixel circuit. The pixel circuit may include memory storage to store data values representative of image data to be depicted via the pixel circuit. The memory storage may also include memory components for storing bits of the data value. The pixel circuit may also include a light-emitting device for emitting light based at least in part on the data value and a controller. The controller may receive the data value and store the bits based on a mapping between the bits and the memory components. The mapping may be determined based on routing one or more of the bits associated with one or more defective memory components of the memory components to one or more other memory components of the memory components. The controller may also drive the light-emitting device to emit light based on the bits stored in accordance with the mapping.

  • Publication number: 20210219452
    Abstract: A front-access chassis for storage drives can be configured to store different drives in different orientations in a single group of drives. For example, drives in a disk group can be installed with two vertical drives followed immediately by four horizontal drives. Each chassis can include multiple disk groups. Thus, drives with certain functions can be easily and readily identified based on orientation. For example, system drives may be installed vertically whereas storage drives may be installed horizontally, permitting a user to quickly identify a desired drive at a glance.
