Abstract: Provided herein are methods of treating ocular cancer such as uveal melanoma, orbital lymphoma, retinoblastoma, and medulloepithelioma using antibodies and bispecific antigen-binding molecules that bind MET or antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) comprising the antibodies or bispecific antigen-binding molecules. The bispecific antigen-binding molecules comprise a first and a second antigen-binding domain, wherein the first and second antigen-binding domains bind to two different epitopes of the extracellular domain of human MET. The ADCs comprise the antibodies or bispecific antigen-binding molecules provided herein linked to a cytotoxic agent, radionuclide, or other moiety. The antibodies and bispecific antigen-binding molecules are capable of blocking the interaction between human MET and its ligand HGF. A subject having ocular cancer, for example, an uveal melanoma expressing c-Met, can be treated by administering to the subject an antibody, a bispecific antigen-binding molecule, or an ADC thereof.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems, methods, and products for creating, organizing, storing, archiving and publishing content and data points on a real-time basis based on multiple inputs from different sources, including the creation of content and data within the application, the creation of related or summary content and data on social media platforms, the facilitation of non-curated external interactions on social media platforms about, or related to, the curated content and data, and the inclusion of content and data extracted from social media platforms in response to related or summary content and data.

Abstract: An airborne substance detector includes an air intake that sweeps through a fixed area, and a fan that draws air toward an effluence detection device that analyzes the air for one or more substances, such as explosives. The air intake may be a series of tubes of a rotary gate, with multiple sets of tubes that rotate about a central axis. The fan or blower draws air through holes in the tubes, and through a manifold that directs air to the effluence detection device from a single set of tubes at a time. In addition the detector may include a heater that may enhance vaporization of substances to be detected. The effluence detection device, the manifold, and the fan may be located in an enclosure at the top of the rotary gate.

Abstract: In an ultrasonic diagnostic imaging system which scans a volumetric region, the sampling bandwidth or spatial resolution is matched to the achievable transducer resolution determined by the aperture size and the wavelength and the desired output bandwidth or volume imaging rate. In an illustrated embodiment this is done by controlling the spatial point spread function of the beams used to scan the volumetric region to provide a more optimal relationship between the acoustic sampling resolution, the desired output line density, and the volume imaging rate. The benefits of this optimization can be to maximize the information content and information movement efficiency by not acquiring more resolution than can be utilized, and to provide a more optimal sampling function, using the aperture function to limit the spatial bandwidth.
