The polycarbonate composition according to the present invention has a good combination of hydrolysis resistance and flame retardance.

Abstract: A pneumatic trip valve that may include a valve structure, a switch plate air path and an internal check valve. In various aspects, the pneumatic trip valve may be connected to a valve positioner, an actuator, or a combination thereof to control the operation of a fluid process control valve. In operation, the Pneumatic trip valve acts to put the actuator in a preset fail-safe position when the actuator loses sufficient pressure or communication from a main air supply, stored pressurized air from an actuator air reservoir, and/or an external air reservoir.

Abstract: A mathematically accurate cybersecurity risk analysis platform which is able to quantify the effects of cybersecurity risk in several inter-related dimensions, and accomplish this within established regulatory and audit-control frameworks, providing risk analyses which are not simply the function of professional judgement or expert opinion. The specific dimensions are between Threats, Risks, Vulnerabilities and Capabilities.

Abstract: Antibodies are disclosed that bind to and inhibit the anti-coagulant function of TFPI and have a lower affinity for TFPI at pH 6.0 than at pH 7.4. The lower affinity at pH 6 improves circulating half-life (T½) due to reduced target mediated clearance, a process by which an antibody/antigen complex is endocytosed and trafficked to the lysosome where both components are degraded. The lower affinity at pH 6.0 results in disruption of the complex prior to lysosome targeting and allows for re-circulation of the antibody. Specific modifications to antibody binding by histidine residue substitution are disclosed along with methods of use.
