  • Patent number: 12642864
    Abstract: Provided herein are novel antibody-agent conjugates formed by the introduction of methionine residues to antibody scaffold light or heavy chains at select positions, followed by conjugation of the agent to the methionine, for example, by oxaziridine chemistries. Methionine substitutions at the targeted positions enable highly efficient functionalization to form very stable conjugates, including conjugates suitable for in vivo use. The positions were identified for the trastuzumab and other related scaffolds which can be engineered for affinity to any target antigen. The conjugates include ADCs and detections agents. Also disclosed are novel oxaziridine reagents for conjugation to methionines in proteins.

  • Patent number: 12147489
    Abstract: Examples described herein include systems and methods for dynamically determining a server for enrollment with a management system. An example method can include receiving user input at an application executing on a user device, such as a portal application that provides access to and authentication for other applications through a catalogue of application icons. If the user input includes a first URL but that URL produces an error when used in conjunction with extensions associated with a management server, the application can automatically use extensions associated with an application-support server. The application can then retrieve a second URL from the application-support server and use it for performing enrollment steps at the management server. The enrollment steps can include authenticating the user at an identity service and determining the user's group ID for enrollment, for example.

  • Patent number: 11675892
    Abstract: Examples described herein include systems and methods for dynamically displaying features in a GUI of a portal application that facilitates access to other applications. An example method can include receiving a push notification, from a notification service, at a user device upon which the portal application is installed. The push notification can indicate that a new feature is available for the portal application executing on the user device. The example method can include requesting, from the management server, at least one command for modifying the GUI of the portal application. The management server can provide the command or provide instructions for the user device to retrieve the command. The method can include receiving at least one command. The method can also include modifying the GUI of the portal application based on the received command and displaying the modified GUI.

  • Patent number: 11536767
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to self-test circuitry for a system that includes one or more current control subsystems, each current control subsystem having a load terminal for coupling the current control subsystem to a load. The self-test circuitry comprises: a signal path associated with each current control subsystem, each signal path configured to selectively couple a measurement node to the load terminal of the current control subsystem, wherein the measurement node is common to all of the signal paths; voltage detection circuitry; and test voltage source circuitry configured to provide a test voltage to the measurement node. The voltage detection circuitry is operable to output a signal indicative of a fault condition if a voltage detected at the measurement node differs from the test voltage when the measurement node is coupled to the load terminal.
