  • Publication number: 20210032366
    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: 10768794
    Abstract: A synchronization protocol is used to transfer information from a remote computing system to a client device. At the remote computing system, synchronization configuration information is retrieved. The synchronization configuration includes a synchronization rule specifying a data object schema to which the synchronization rule will apply, truncation criteria, and a truncation threshold. The truncation threshold specifies a maximum amount of shared data object instances of the data object schema that may be sent to the client device during a synchronization task. The remote computing system analyzes metadata of a plurality of shared data object instances of the data object schema. Relevant shared data object instances of the plurality of shared data object instances meeting the truncation criteria are determined by the remote computing system. The relevant data object instances are sent from the remote computing system to the client device until the truncation threshold is met.

  • Patent number: 10713278
    Abstract: Techniques are described for dynamically synchronizing applications executed on a client device with backend systems. An example method includes identifying a triggering event associated with a request to perform a synchronization of a client application, where the request is associated with a request for a partial synchronization of the client application. A set of information defining a request context associated with the request is obtained. A set of potential partial synchronization scenarios are identified, where each of the potential partial synchronization scenarios associated with a predefined synchronization context. The request context is compared to the predefined synchronization contexts of the set of potential partial synchronization scenarios to identify a particular partial synchronization scenario corresponding to the request context.
