  • Patent number: 8658171
    Abstract: The present invention provides a humanized anti-TNF monoclonal antibody and the use thereof. The humanized anti-TNF monoclonal antibody significantly reduces the immunogenicity of murine-antibody while retaining the ability of antibody to recognize antigen, compared with conservative mouse chimeric antibody. Therefore, safety of the antibody in clinical applications has been improved.

  • Publication number: 20120262918
    Abstract: A lighting device includes light-emitting diodes as illuminating light sources and arranged on a support, and a receptacle housing the support of the diodes and closed by a glass substrate facing the diodes. The receptacle and the fastener to fasten the support to the receptacle, are made of a thermally conductive material. Furthermore, a scattering device to scatter light is arranged at least in zones located facing the diodes, and a reflector of light is arranged in the receptacle. The lighting device is thus thin, highly effective, and causes very little dazzle.

  • Patent number: 8138808
    Abstract: A circuit for detecting a phase imbalance of signals includes a conversion block and a comparator coupled to the conversion block. The conversion block generates generating a direct current (DC) signal based on a first signal and a second signal. The level of the DC signal is determined by a phase difference between the first signal and the second signal. The comparator compares the DC signal to a reference signal and generates an alert signal if a difference between the DC signal and the reference signal is greater than a predetermined threshold.
