Abstract: An antibody that specifically binds to IL-1R3, comprising an antibody heavy chain amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1 and a light chain amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 2. A pharmaceutical composition is provided comprising the said antibody and a pharmaceutically acceptable diluent, carrier or excipient. Also said antibody for use in treating a disease or disorder in a subject in need thereof. The disease or disorder may be an autoimmune or autoinflammatory disease or disorder.

Abstract: Method for automatically restoring a calibrated state of a projection system, allowing simple and error-free alignment of a projection system in an original error-free state of the system. A calibrated state of a projection system is automatically restored by calculating a position and orientation of at least one camera within the projection system, using fixed points, subsequently m times n markers (9?) are projected onto the projection area, using the markers by cameras to determine a reduced number, compared with the calibration, of second measurement points (QI?) that have one X, Y and Z coordinate each, the reduced number of second measurement points (QI?) is used to perform a calculation of the differences between the second measurement points (QI?) and the associated first measurement points (QI?), a displacement vector is formed, the association between the projector coordinates and 3D coordinates is adapted with the displacement vector.

Abstract: A method for automatically producing an optical blend mask arranged in a beam path (8) of a projector (2) in a projection system with two projectors (2), by determining an actual state of the projection system by calibrating and producing an ideal blending, ascertaining an individual distortion of the projector (2) by using a front or back projection surface (11), introduced into the beam path (8), using patterns (13) from which points are derived, ascertaining the alignment and the position of the front or back projection surface (11) within a blend mask plane, calculating the optical blending for a partial image, for positioning and/or a transformation of the ideal blending, adapting the ideal blending for compensating a soft focus, applying the ascertained, individual distortion of the projector (2) to the blending, ascertaining data of the optical blend mask and outputting data for producing the optical blend mask.

Abstract: An automotive fluid control system with pressure balanced solenoid valve [24] and fluid mixing housing [22] is disclosed. The solenoid valve [24] is preferably used in an EGR (exhaust gas circulation) fluid control system, although the valve may be used in other vehicle fluid control systems, such as an engine block cooling liquid control system. A poppet member [84] of an EGR valve is pressured balanced such that only a light spring [170] and armature [88] are needed to control the positioning of the poppet member [84]. Magnetic and inductance sensors [184, 282] are used to accurately determine the position of the poppet member. The fluid mixing housing [22] homogeneously mixes first and second fluids. A portion of a main first fluid flow is funneled off and mixed in the housing [22] with a second fluid prior to being returned to the main fluid flow.

Abstract: What is described here is a measuring system for the non-contacting detecn of the three-dimensional shape of a groove peripherally extending in a spectacle frame, comprising a light source directing its light beam onto the groove or having its beam deflected thereon by means of an optical deflector system, an optical imaging system which projects the light reflected at the groove onto an optical detector unit and which is disposed in a centered position relative to the groove to be measured on the spectacle frame, a holding means supporting the spectacle frame, which is supported for rotation relative to the light source, the detector system and the optical imaging system about a centering axis of a surface inscribed by the peripheral groove of the spectacle frame, as well as an evaluation unit for determining the three-dimensional shape of the groove, which operates in correspondence with the triangulation principle. Moreover, an appertaining method is proposed.
