  • Publication number: 20240117073
    Abstract: The present invention relates to specific binding members, particularly antibodies and fragments thereof, which bind to amplified epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and to the de2-7 EGFR truncation of the EGFR. In particular, the epitope recognized by the specific binding members, particularly antibodies and fragments thereof, is enhanced or evident upon aberrant post-translational modification. These specific binding members are useful in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. The binding members of the present invention may also be used in therapy in combination with chemotherapeutics or anti-cancer agents and/or with other antibodies or fragments thereof.

  • Patent number: 11429266
    Abstract: In response to a request to present a first user interface to a first user, a first user interface adaptation associated with the first user interface is determined, a first control flag associated with the first user interface adaptation and with a first condition is determined, the first condition based on a value of first master data, and the value of the first master data for the first user is determined, the first control flag is evaluated based on the value of the first master data for the first user. If the first control flag evaluates to True, the first user interface adaptation is applied to the first user interface and the adapted first user interface is presented to the first user and, if the first control flag evaluates to False, the first user interface is presented to the first user.

  • Publication number: 20220269695
    Abstract: A synchronization protocol is provided that can be used to resolve synchronization errors encountered while trying to synchronize versions of data objects between a client device and a remote computing system. The protocol includes a client device, in an offline processing mode, handling user interface (“UI”) manipulation actions on one or more UI elements of one or more UI screens. The handling of the UI manipulation actions modifies or creates a local version of a data object stored on the client device. The UI manipulation actions are stored by the client device and sent to the remote computing system. The client device receives a synchronization error notification from the remote computing system. After receiving the notification, the client device displays, in one of the UI screens, the local version of the data object and one or more indications of a synchronization error.
