  • Publication number: 20240112579
    Abstract: A parking facility access management system having a sensing device communicatively connected to the internet and to a mechanism for providing access to a parking facility. A mobile device is communicatively connected to the sensing device while in proximity to the sensing device, and also communicatively connected to the internet while not in proximity to the sensing device. As the mobile device enters proximity to the sensing device, the mobile device communicates exclusively with the sensing device and not the internet. In some embodiments, as the mobile device enters proximity to the sensing device, the mobile device sends a signal to the sensing device to alert the mechanism for providing access to provide access to the parking facility.

  • Patent number: 11919958
    Abstract: Provided herein are novel anti-CD28×anti-B7H3 (also referred to as “?CD28×?B7H3”) heterodimeric bispecific antibodies and methods of using such antibodies for the treatment of cancers. Subject ?CD28×?B7H3 antibodies are capable of agonistically binding to CD28 costimulatory molecules on T cells and targeting to B7H3 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 for enhancing anti-tumor activity when used in combination with other anti-cancer therapies.

  • Publication number: 20220331557
    Abstract: A drive-enhanceable handheld advancer is provided for advancing an elongate device through a pathway defined in an advancer body that includes a rotatable manual thumbwheel partially embedded in the body for receiving a user-exerted manual control movement from a thumb, and a manual drive having a nip, a transmission, and a reverse clutch. The transmission operatively connects the thumbwheel to the nip for driving advancement, and the reverse clutch maintains a first interference grip connection between the nip and the elongate device. The manual control thumbwheel can move inward responsive to user-applied grip movements to increase grip with the elongate device. The reverse clutch applies augmented force from grip movements to the nip for increasing the grip drive connection, which can be applied at a different angle from the inward movements. The reverse clutch can include slotted pivot supports for the thumbwheel and drive rollers on the advancer body.

  • Publication number: 20220047847
    Abstract: A handheld advancer is provided for advancing an elongate device through a pathway defined in an advancer body and include a rotatable manual control partially embedded in the body to receive a user-exerted manual control movement from a thumb of a single hand that can hold and control the advancer and advancement. The advancer can include a manual drive arranged to convert torque applied by the thumb for a rotation arc distance into a translation drive force applied for translating the elongate device an advancement distance scaled at force factor and distance factor. The distance factor can be one or greater than one and translate the elongate device an amplified advancement distance compared with manual input. The advancer can include a nip having a pair of rollers extending into the pathway providing constant control and amplified translation via concave compressible surfaces forming continuous contact regions with the elongate device.
