Publication number: 20250095915Abstract: A high-coercivity neodymium-cerium-iron-boron permanent magnet has at least one of the following features: the area of grain boundary RE-rich phases in the magnet accounts for 4% or more of the area of a whole field of view; the grain boundary RE-rich phases in the magnet are fine and uniformly distributed; and the mean value of ratios of the area of block-shaped grain boundary RE-rich phases located at intersections of three or more main-phase grains to the total area of all the three or more adjacent main-phase grains in the vicinity is less than or equal to 30%. RE-rich phases in the magnet are continuously distributed along grain boundaries, thereby increasing the depth of diffusion of a diffusion source into the magnet, improve the uniformity of distribution of the diffusion source in the, and thus further improving the magnetic performance of the diffusion magnet.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 28, 2022Publication date: March 20, 2025Inventors: Yongjiang YU, Zhongxin AN, Lei LIU, Congcong ZHANG, Guoqiang GENG

Publication number: 20240174768Abstract: The invention pertains to bispecific antibodies having two antigen binding specificities, one binding to an epitope of NKG2-D type II integral membrane protein (NKG2D) and one binding to an antigen associated with a disease, preferably a tumor associated- or tumor specific antigen, such as ErbB2 (HER2), CD19, CD20, GD2, PD-L1, EGFR, or EGFRvIII. The bispecific molecules of the invention are preferably applied in the context of the treatment of tumor diseases or infectious diseases. Surprisingly it was found that the use of NKG2D binding specificities that bind in a competitive manner to the NKG2D receptor with its natural ligands such as MICA reduces or prevents the inhibitory effect of ligand shedding. Another advantage of the present invention lies in a synergistic combination of the bispecific molecules of the invention and chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) based therapy.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 3, 2022Publication date: May 30, 2024Inventors: Winfried WELS, Congcong ZHANG, Pranav OBEROI, Anne KIEFER

Publication number: 20200403179Abstract: An organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display panel and an OLED display device are provided. The OLED display panel, by providing an auxiliary water-oxygen barrier layer between the light-emitting functional layer and the substrate, water-oxygen can be isolated by the auxiliary water-oxygen barrier layer even through the gap between the second flexible layer and the second flexible layer and the second barrier layer, thus preventing erosion of the light-emitting functional layer and improving the water-oxygen isolation capacity of the OLED display panels. The technical problem that current active-matrix organic light-emitting diode (AMOLED) display panels, having a poor ability to isolate water-oxygen, is solved.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 23, 2019Publication date: December 24, 2020Inventors: Kai HU, Cuiyu HAO, Boyu SU, Li HE, Congcong ZHANG
