Abstract: Provided herein are methods of treating cancer, an infectious disease, or an infection, which comprise administering to a human patient in need thereof: (a) a TIGIT antagonist; (b) a PD-1 antagonist; and (c) lenvatinib represented by Formula (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. Also provided are kits containing such agents and uses of therapeutic combinations of such agents for the treatment of cancer, an infectious disease, or an infection.

Abstract: An invention is presented that can send binary information between locations remote from one another without the velocity limitation of the velocity of light in vacuum and that uses the following principles: 1) superposition of quantum states; 2) a developing entanglement of quantum states for spatially separated physical entities; 3) the immediate change of the quantum wave function in a measurement; 4) the shielding of one of the physical entities so that the result of a measurement on one of the physical entities is not available to the environment; 5) the possibility of undoing the measurement on the shielded physical entity by a second measurement on this same shielded entity and, as a result of undoing the first measurement, the ability to prevent the developing entanglement of quantum states for spatially separated physical entities from being established.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a system that controls the automatic operation a laser in a sighting mechanism to detect a target. The laser is activated when the system detects vibrational motion that causes a piezoelectric strip to produce an electrical signal. The laser is deactivated after a predetermined time has elapsed.

Abstract: A solid state x-ray source (14) for a computed tomograph (CT) imaging system (10) is presented. X-ray source (14) has a cathode (58) which is preferably formed of a plurality of addressable elements. The cathode is positioned within a vacuum chamber (74) so that electrodes emitted thereby impinge upon anode (68) spaced apart from cathode (58). An electron beam (82) is formed and moved along the length of cathode (58). The anode (68) is disposed within a cooling block portion (58) and operatively adjacent to an x-ray transmissive window (66). The anode (68) and x-ray transmissive window (66) are disposed within an elongated channel (64) of the cooling block portion (56).

Abstract: A two-ply or even-ply veneer laminate panel created by the steps of: pre-flexing a substrate veneer ply sufficiently to substantially break the grains of the substrate ply, and bonding the substrate ply to a face veneer ply. Preferably, the substrate ply is pre-flexed in a direction parallel to the direction that the grains of the substrate ply run. And preferably, the grains of the face ply are oriented in a substantially perpendicular direction to the grains of the substrate ply.

Abstract: Linear low density copolymer of ethylene/1-hexene is made processible into heat shrinkable film by a continuous process starting with the extrusion of the copolymer as a film. The production rate of heat shrinkable film made from linear low density copolymer of ethylene/1-octene-can be increased by the step of blending a minor proportion of highly branched low density polyethylene with either copolymer prior to extrusion.
