Abstract: A seatbelt of a vehicle includes a buckle tilt mounting device for a tongue plate coupled with a seatbelt webbing restraining an occupant seated in a vehicle seat. The buckle tilt mounting device includes a buckle assembly having a buckle and a buckle cable, and further includes a pre-tensioner system having a housing, a driving member, and a pre-tensioner cable. When the pre-tensioner system is actuated at a time of a vehicle collision or at a time a vehicle collision is anticipated, the driving member retracts the pre-tensioner cable inside the housing such that the buckle assembly is rotatably moved and configured to reduce submarining load on the occupant.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of modified constant domains of canine or feline antibodies having altered immune-effector functions and their use. More specifically, the application relates to modified Fc fragments having significantly reduced Fc?RI and C1q binding.

Abstract: A method for producing (S)-2-butanol of an optical purity ee of >90% comprises reacting a biotransformation composition comprising, as starting materials, a racemic mixture of 2-butanol (rac-2-butanol), an oxidoreductase, a redox cofactor and a cosubstrate, (R)-2-butanol being selectively oxidized to 2-butanone, and (S)-2-butanol being retained in an optical purity ee of >90%.
