  • Publication number: 20240358808
    Abstract: Personalized cancer vaccines are created by predicting whether a first neoantigen or a second neoantigen of an individual cancer patient has a stronger binding affinity for a human leukocyte antigen (HLA) complex of the patient and creating a particle containing the neoantigen with the stronger predicted binding affinity. Such a predicting step includes artificial intelligence, statistical modeling, or a combination thereof. Such a particle is created by encapsulating the neoantigen with the stronger predicted binding affinity for the HLA complex of the patient in a material. Placing the antigen in a particular sized particle is referred to here as Size Exclusion Antigen Presentation Control, (SEAPAC) used in methods of treating the patient using such a personalized cancer vaccine.

  • Patent number: 11692552
    Abstract: Systems and methods of flow testing different workpieces in an automated testing station are described. Each workpiece comprises a flow path from an inlet to an outlet and the automated testing station comprises first and second sealing heads for injecting gas into the inlets of workpieces and collecting gas from the outlets of workpieces. The method includes performing a flow test by moving the flow test heads toward the workpieces while at the same time priming a flow of gas from the first sealing heads to the second sealing heads, prior to engaging the workpiece.

  • Patent number: 6655314
    Abstract: A mast step for a kayak sailing rig is provided. The mast step supports a mast relative to a deck of the kayak at a desired angle to facilitate an optimum sail shape. The step also has a convex below a surface which contacts the deck, allowing the mast to be rotated forward or aft in use, and in particular allowing the mast to be rotated from an upright position to a flat position against the deck of the kayak.
