Patent number: 11953706Abstract: Wavelength-selective films are visibly apparent under the selective wavelength. Wavelength-selective films typically reflect off axis the selected wavelength and therefore can provide high-contrast against a background when applied in a pattern on a substrate. However, it is difficult to apply unique patterned embedded images from film. Disclosed is a cost-effective method and construction of a patterned wavelength-selective image to a substrate. In the disclosed wavelength-selective image, wavelength-selective film particles are applied to an adhesive pattern to create the wavelength-selective image.Type: GrantFiled: July 23, 2019Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: 3M INNOVATIVE PROPERTIES COMPANYInventors: Kui Chen-Ho, Kenneth L. Smith, Douglas S. Dunn, Tien Yi T. H. Whiting, John A. Wheatley, Bryan T. Whiting, Taylor J. Kobe, Anthony F. Schultz, Duane D. Fansler, Jonah Shaver

Patent number: 11305000Abstract: The invention relates to the development of chimeric OspA molecules for use in a new Lyme vaccine. More specifically, the chimeric OspA molecules comprise the proximal portion from one OspA serotype, together with the distal portion from another OspA serotype, while retaining antigenic properties of both of the parent polypeptides. The chimeric OspA molecules are delivered alone or in combination to provide protection against a variety of Borrelia genospecies. The invention also provides methods for administering the chimeric OspA molecules to a subject in the prevention and treatment of Lyme disease or borreliosis.Type: GrantFiled: January 19, 2018Date of Patent: April 19, 2022Assignees: Brookhaven Science Associates, LLC, The Research Foundation of State University of New York, Baxalta Incorporated, Baxalta GmbHInventors: Brian A. Crowe, Ian Livey, Maria O'Rourke, Michael Schwendinger, John J. Dunn, Benjamin J. Luft

Publication number: 20220074025Abstract: Nickel-based alloys having improved localized corrosion resistance, improved stress-corrosion cracking (SCC) resistance and impact strength are disclosed. The improvements come from the provision of compositions that are resistant to deleterious phase formation and from the addition of alloying elements that improve corrosion resistance, impact strength, and SCC resistance. The nickel-based alloys of the present invention have controlled amounts of Ni, Cr, Fe, Mo, Co, Cu, Mn, C, N, Si, Ti, Nb, Al, and B. When subjected to post-cladding heat treatments or welding, the nickel-based alloys retain their corrosion resistance and possess desirable impact strengths.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 19, 2021Publication date: March 10, 2022Inventors: Nacéra Sabrina Meck, David S. Bergstrom, John J. Dunn, David C. Berry

Patent number: 8992936Abstract: Provided herein are OspA polypeptides from Lyme Disease-causing Borrelia having certain alteration(s). In one embodiment, the alteration(s) increase the conformational stability of the OspA polypeptide containing the alteration(s) while maintaining at least some of the antigenicity of the corresponding unaltered OspA polypeptide. In another embodiment, the altered OspA polypeptide has reduced cross-reactivity to hLFA-1, as compared to the corresponding unaltered OspA polypeptide.Type: GrantFiled: July 17, 2013Date of Patent: March 31, 2015Assignees: Research Foundation of the State University of New York, Brookhaven Sciences Associates, LLC, University of RochesterInventors: Benjamin J.
