  • Publication number: 20170244873
    Abstract: According to the invention, the device for recording images (1) of a road scene for a motor vehicle comprises at least one camera (2) defining an optical axis, a protective element (4) for protecting the camera and cleaning means (8) for cleaning this screen. The protective element surrounds the camera and is mounted movable in rotation about said camera, comprising at least two separate portions each capable of assuming an image capturing position (16; 116) opposite the camera under the effect of the rotation. At least one of the separate portions is a light-transparent screen (18; 118) for being disposed in the image capturing position when the camera is operating, and the cleaning means (8) are disposed on the passage of the movable protective element in order to clean the transparent screen.

  • Publication number: 20150094451
    Abstract: The invention provides heterodimer bispecific antigen-binding molecules that include a first polypeptide that does not include an IgG CH1 domain and a second polypeptide having an immunoglobulin constant region where there is at least one mutation in the IgG CH3 domain that abolishes the ability of the second polypeptide to bind CH3-specific affinity media such that the first and second polypeptides have different affinities with respect to CH1 and CH3 specific affinity reagents that allows rapid isolation by differential binding of the first and second polypeptides to these affinity reagents. The invention also provides bispecific antibodies that have IgG CH1 and CH3 regions with different affinities with respect to affinity reagents that allows rapid isolation by differential binding of the IgG regions to these affinity reagents.
