Patent number: 12209120Abstract: The present disclosure provides activatable binding polypeptides (ABPs), which contain a target binding moiety (TBM), a masking moiety (MM), and a cleavable moiety (CM). The present disclosure provides activatable antibody compositions, which contain a TBM containing an antigen binding domain (ABD), a MM and a CM. Furthermore the present disclosure also provides ABPs which contain a first TBM, a second TBM and a CM. The ABPs exhibit an “activatable” conformation such that at least one of the TBMs is less accessible to target when uncleaved than after cleavage of the CM in the presence of a cleaving agent capable of cleaving the CM. The disclosure further provides libraries of candidate ABPs, methods of screening to identify such ABPs, and methods of use. The disclosure further provides ABPs having TBMs that bind VEGF, CTLA-4, or VCAM, ABPs having a first TBM that binds VEGF and a second TBM that binds FGF, as well as compositions and methods of use.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2021Date of Patent: January 28, 2025Assignees: The Regents of the University of California, CytomX Therapeutics, Inc.Inventors: Patrick Sean Daugherty, Nancy Stagliano, Jerry Thomas, Kathryn Kamath, James W.

Patent number: 11961123Abstract: A system for managing advertisements in an in-flight entertainment (“IFE”) system operating on an airplane can include an inventory processing device and a non-transitory computer readable medium. The non-transitory computer readable medium can be communicatively coupled to the inventory processing device to cause the inventory processing device to perform operations. The operations can include determining an inventory of targeted advertisements for future flights. The operations can further include receiving a request to use a portion of the inventory for advertisements associated with an advertiser. The operations can further include transmitting instructions to an IFE controller on-board the airplane to cause the IFE controller to provide the advertisements during targeted advertisement opportunities during a flight.Type: GrantFiled: April 9, 2019Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: THALES AVIONICS, INC.Inventors: Jean-Yves Couleaud, Peter Hong, Jerry Thomas, Tracy Decuir, Cecile Andre

Patent number: 11892421Abstract: An electrical stability testing device includes a cup configured to receive a fluid sample. The testing device also includes a pair of electrodes positioned at least partially within the cup. The electrodes are spaced apart from one another by a predetermined gap. The electrodes are configured to have the fluid sample positioned within the predetermined gap while performing an ES test on the fluid sample in the cup. The testing device also includes a wiper positioned at least partially within the cup. The wiper is configured to pass between the electrodes after the ES test has concluded. A width of the wiper is greater than the predetermined gap between the electrodes. The wiper is configured to deform as the wiper passes through the predetermined gap such that the width becomes substantially equal to the predetermined gap and sides of the wiper contact ends of the electrodes to clean the electrodes.Type: GrantFiled: December 6, 2021Date of Patent: February 6, 2024Assignee: SCHLUMBERGER TECHNOLOGY CORPORATIONInventors: Timothy Lesko, Jerry Thomas Connaughton, Zakhar Chizhov, Kenneth Slater, Bojan Mitric, Mauricio Tassano
