  • Patent number: 11960683
    Abstract: A display system for sensing a finger of a user applied to the display system includes a display panel; a sensor for sensing the finger; a sensing light source configured to emit a first light having a first wavelength W1; and a reflective polarizer disposed between the display panel and the sensor. For a substantially normally incident light, an optical transmittance of the reflective polarizer versus wavelength for a first polarization state has a band edge such that for a first wavelength range extending from a smaller wavelength L1 to a greater wavelength L2 and including W1, where 30 nm?L2?L1?50 nm and L1 is greater than and within about 20 nm of a wavelength L3 corresponding to an optical transmittance of about 50% along the band edge, the optical transmittance has an average of greater than about 75%.

  • Patent number: 11925655
    Abstract: Disclosed are prodrugs of anthracyclines (such as doxorubicin) and derivatives thereof that are selectively cleaved and activated by fibroblast activating protein (FAP). The prodrugs are useful for targeted delivery of “warhead” anthracycline or anthracycline derivative to FAP-expressing tissues, including cancer (e.g., solid tumors). Also provided are pharmaceutical compounds comprising the prodrugs, as well as methods of using the prodrugs to treat a disorder characterized by FAP upregulation, e.g., cancer undesirable fibrosis and undesirable inflammation.

  • Patent number: 10978792
    Abstract: A radome assembly of an aircraft includes a shell having an elongated shape wherein the shell defines a first opening having a diameter of a first dimension and is positioned within a first end portion of the shell. The shell defines a second opening having an elongated shape which extends along a length of the shell and has a second dimension which is greater than the first dimension. First fastener extends through the first opening and is engaged with a first surface associated with a first structural element and resists movement of the shell and the first structural element relative to one another. Second fastener extends through the second opening and is engaged with a second surface associated with the first structural element such that the shell is moveable along the length of the shell relative to the first structural element.
