  • Publication number: 20220056144
    Abstract: The invention provides anti-oncostatin M receptor-? (OSMR) antigen binding proteins, e.g., antibodies and functional fragments, derivatives, muteins, and variants thereof. OSMR antigen binding proteins interfere with binding of OSM and/or IL-31 to OSMR. In some embodiments, anti-OSMR antigen binding proteins are useful tools in studying diseases and disorders associated with OSMR and are particularly useful in methods of treating diseases and disorders associated with OSMR and binding of OSM and/or IL-31 to OSMR.

  • Publication number: 20220058729
    Abstract: Methods and/or systems for a flexible loan application process for financing a vehicle may provide multiple user interface channels (which include both multiple manual and electronic user interface channels) via which the applicant may initiate, monitor, access, and/or close the loan, as the applicant desires. Further, for a single loan application, the applicant may only need to provide limited information at the outset. Subsequently, the flexible loan application process may provide multiple approved loan offers of varying loan amounts and/or loan terms based upon the limited applicant information received. The applicant may then select one or more of the offers to customize, within approved limits, to generate a vehicle loan that best suits his or her preferences without having to restart the entire loan application process.

  • Patent number: 11258704
    Abstract: Technologies for managing network traffic through heterogeneous fog network segments of a fog network include a fog node deployed in a fog network segment. The fog node is configured to receive a fog frame that includes control instructions. The fog node is further configured to perform a route selection action to identify a preferred target fog node based on the control instructions, perform action(s) based on the control instructions and network characteristic(s) of the fog network segment relative to corresponding network characteristic(s) of the different fog network segment, and generate updated control instructions based on at least one network characteristic of the different fog network segment. Additionally, the fog node is configured to replace the original control instructions of the received fog frame with the updated control instructions and transmit the received fog frame with the updated control instructions to the preferred target fog node. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

  • Patent number: 11250529
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention disclose a computer-implemented methodology for automatically indicating in a computer-aided dispatch system for a plurality of assignable participants, such as emergency vehicles, to be dispatched to one of a plurality of facilities, whether a facility is in a diverting status or a receiving status. A centralized database receives a change in status for a vehicle for use in determining the status of a facility. In response to receiving the change in status for the vehicle, the status information about the vehicle including a current status and a prior status is transmitted to one or more client programs. A client program receives the current status and the prior status of the vehicle and uses the current status and prior status of the vehicle along with a criteria set to determine if any of the plurality of facilities' status should be changed from receiving to diverting or from diverting to receiving.
