Abstract: The present invention concerns human antibodies recognising the human C5a receptor. By binding to C5aR the antibodies inhibit C5a signalling, whereby the pro-inflammatory signal is inhibited. Based on the role of C5a and its receptor in stimulation of inflammation the invention further relates to therapeutic use of said human anti-C5aR antibodies and in particular in relation to treatment of immunological disorders.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a curable composition. The curable composition includes a liquid epoxy resin component a curative component, and a curable resin filler component. At least a portion of curable resin filler is dispersed in the liquid epoxy resin and solid at about 25° C. According to various examples, the curable composition can produce a film having good tackiness and improved handling characteristics. Additionally, according to some examples, a cured product of the curable composition can have a Wet Glass Transition Temperature and a Dry Glass Transition Temperature that are substantially the same.

Abstract: A sugarcane harvester for harvesting sugarcane including a cutter configured to cut sugarcane into a sugarcane mat and a primary extractor disposed adjacent to the sugarcane mat configured to remove crop residue from the sugarcane mat. An elevator includes a conveyor to move the sugarcane mat to an end of the conveyor and an extractor is operatively connected to the elevator. The extractor includes a fan housing having an arm extending laterally from a sidewall of the fan housing and toward a center of the fan housing. A fan assembly is supported by the arm and is configured to remove crop residue from the sugarcane mat at the end of the conveyor. A cover assembly is fixedly connected to the support arm and subtends a fan of the fan assembly and a portion of the support arm, wherein the cover assembly directs crop debris away from the fan and the support arm.

Abstract: An extremely lightweight and compact heating system greatly increasing patient mobility is provided. The use of a flat plate can be used to greatly decrease package size and weight while providing comparable heat transfer by exploiting the ability of the dialysis bags to conform to this surface and through the greater heating area possible with the flat plate design. A short rim around the plate provides centering and protecting against minor leakage without substantially increasing package height. Protection against leakage is buttressed by sealing the rim to the plate and the use of 12 V only within the heating unit. The result is a lightweight warming device with a short that can be easily transported by the patient greatly improving patient lifestyle and freedom.
