  • Patent number: 11291682
    Abstract: RNA encoding an immunogen is co-delivered to non-immune cells at the site of delivery and also to immune cells which infiltrate the site of delivery. The responses of these two cell types to the same delivered RNA lead to two different effects, which interact to produce a strong immune response against the immunogen. The non-immune cells translate the RNA and express the immunogen. Infiltrating immune cells respond to the RNA by expressing type I interferons and pro-inflammatory cytokines which produce a local adjuvant effect which acts on the immunogen-expressing non-immune cells to upregulate major histocompatibility complex expression, thereby increasing presentation of the translated protein to T cells. The effects on the immune and non-immune cells can be achieved by a single delivery of a single RNA e.g. by a single injection.

  • Publication number: 20220080788
    Abstract: A tire pressure monitoring unit is for mounting on a vehicle wheel, having a sensor for measuring the tire pressure, a transmitter and a receiver for wireless data transmission, a memory for storing tire data, and a controller connected to the sensor, the transmitter, the receiver and the memory. The controller writes this tire data into the memory on receipt of tire data received via the receiver and assigns a value to a variable, the value marking this tire data as valid. It is provided that a necessary condition for the variable to be assigned a value which marks the tire data as invalid is that the controller detects a pressure increase that exceeds a predetermined threshold value. In addition, a corresponding method for managing tire data in a data memory of a tire pressure monitoring unit is described.

  • Patent number: 10695869
    Abstract: A process to produce a workpiece surface or a groove inner surface on a rod-shaped, especially cylindrical workpiece. From the workpiece, a rotary tool is supposed to be produced. The material removal is done using laser beam pulses, which are directed through a deflection device onto points of incidence within a pulse area with a specified outside contour on the workpiece. Multiple machine axis drives position the workpiece and the deflection device relative to one another so that the pulse area is oriented essentially at right angles to the emission direction of the laser beam pulses and at right angles to the section of the tool surface that has already been produced and that borders the pulse area. While the material is being removed, the at least one machine axis drive moves the pulse area relative to the workpiece along a specified path of motion while maintaining the orientation.
