Abstract: Provided herein are novel anti-CD28×anti-PSMA antibodies and methods of using such antibodies for the treatment of PSMA-associated cancers. Subject anti-CD28×anti-PSMA antibodies are capable of agonistically binding to CD28 costimulatory molecules on T cells and PSMA on tumor cells. Thus, such antibodies selectively enhance anti-tumor activity at tumor sites while minimizing peripheral toxicity. The subject antibodies provided herein are particularly useful in combination with other anti-cancer therapies (e.g., anti-CD3×anti-PSMA antibodies) for the treatment of prostate cancers.

Abstract: In one instance, disclosed herein is a controller configured for operating an engine in an extra-stroke mode, the controller comprising: a processor; and a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the electronic control module to generate commands for operations including: transitioning operation of the engine from a four-stroke mode to the extra-stroke mode or from the extra-stroke mode to the four-stroke mode, wherein the four-stroke mode includes an intake stroke, a compression stroke, a power stroke, and an exhaust stroke, and wherein the extra-stroke mode includes at least six strokes of a piston disposed within a combustion chamber of an engine cylinder of the engine, during which an exhaust valve of the engine cylinder is opened only once, during or immediately preceding a final upward stroke of the at least six strokes.

Abstract: A method to expedite the growth of the agave plant by growing the plant tissue from a cell culture in a laboratory utilize incubator cells that are taken from the leaf of an agave plant and grown in a medium containing all the nutrients required for the production of new cells and the maturation of those new cells. The cells are then exposed to photosynthetic active radiation and fed with extra carbon dioxide, causing the cells to undergo photosynthesis and form the sugars that are found in a naturally growing agave plant. These cultivated cells are given an optimum amount of light and carbon dioxide to promote an unexpected and substantially higher growth rate than heretofore achieved.

Abstract: Superconducting joints and methods of forming the same are described. A particular method includes arranging two or more terminals relative to one another and to one or more interconnect layers, wherein each terminal includes bulk high-temperature superconductive material and each terminal is coupled to at least one end of one or more high-temperature superconductive tapes. The method also includes heating the one or more interconnect layers to form a high-temperature superconductive electrical connection between the two or more terminals.

Abstract: Described herein are devices and methods for irrigating and suctioning fluids from the lumens or cavities of a mammalian body. The devices include a malleable irrigation tube and a suction tube that is slidably mounted upon the irrigation tube.

Abstract: In some embodiments, a crossbow comprises a frame, a bow portion comprising a bowstring, a latch and a trigger. An arrow rest is supported by the frame at a first location. The frame is also arranged to support the arrow rest at a second location. A distance between the latch and the first location is different from a distance between the latch and the second location.

Abstract: Dynamic and self-healing optimized traffic rerouting is provided. A system and method are described for determining and implementing optimized traffic routing decision. A route orchestration system monitors network resource performance characteristics information for identifying a traffic redirection triggering event and for determining an optimized traffic control decision based on the network resource performance characteristics information. The decision may include software defined networking (SDN) instructions that may be communicated to one or more network resources (e.g., PE devices, P devices, and/or routers) that may cause traffic to be rerouted the one or more targeted servers. For example, the optimized traffic control decision may be determined to improve load balancing amongst performing servers and other network resources in the network while reducing or minimizing administrative costs.

Abstract: A monitoring system may include a processor and display system for displaying results from the monitoring. A user may be in a sterile field away from the processor and display system and selected input devices. A controller may be physically connected to the monitoring system from the sterile field to allow the user to control the monitoring system.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for automatically actuating preexisting water shut-off valves upon detection of leak conditions. A coupling of a valve actuator is connected to a handle of the valve, such that a motor of the valve actuator causes the selective opening and closing of the valve. A controller obtains water flow data from a non-intrusive flow sensor (e.g., an ultrasonic sensor) clamped onto a pipe attached to the valve in close proximity thereto, as well as obtaining additional sensor data from remote sensors disposed elsewhere in the water supply system (e.g., pressure levels measured by an in-line pressure sensor). When the controller determines a leak condition exists based upon the water flow data and the additional sensor data, it controls the actuator to close the valve. The controller may also test for leaks by periodically shutting the valve and measuring the pressure while the valve is shut.

Abstract: In a memory system, receiver reference voltage adjustment per path provides the capability to adjust receiver reference voltages on a per path basis. Adjustment of receiver reference voltages for the memory device to an optimal receiver reference voltage per path is accomplished with dedicated mode registers and a local receiver voltage reference adjuster circuit in the memory device for each data path. The optimal receiver reference voltage is determined during training based on selected feedback per path from the memory device. The dedicated mode registers contain adjustment values that were previously programmed during training, and include adjustments steps to add to or subtract from a global receiver reference voltage for all paths until reaching the optimal receiver reference voltage for a current path.
