Abstract: A determination is made that a mobile device is associated with a reference activity of a user based on motion, orientation, rotational, magnetic field, and/or location data provided by sensors of the device. Activity data associated with the reference activity is obtained from the sensor-provided data. The activity data is recorded on the device for a configured period of time after which it is determined that the device is no longer performing the reference activity. The retained activity data for the reference activity is sent from the device to a network-based behavior analyzer when a network connection is available from the device. The network-based behavior analyzer derives user behaviors for the reference activity based on the activity data.

Abstract: The present invention relates to fusion proteins suitable for use as a medicament or research tool. Therapeutic uses of the fusion proteins may include the prevention or treatment of acute or chronic inflammatory and immune system-driven organ and micro-vascular disorders, for example, acute kidney injury, acute myocardial infarction, acute respiratory distress or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease fibrosis and other organ injuries resulting from tissue trauma and acute and chronic injury.

Abstract: The present invention relates to improved binding proteins, for use as a medicament, in particular for the prevention or treatment of autoimmune and inflammatory disorders, for example allergic asthma and inflammatory bowel diseases. The invention more specifically relates to a soluble protein, comprising a complex of two heterodimers, wherein each heterodimer essentially consists of: (i) a first single chain polypeptide comprising: (a) an antibody heavy chain sequence having VH, CH1, CH2, and CH3 regions; and (b) a monovalent region of a mammalian binding molecule fused to the VH region; and (ii) a second single chain polypeptide comprising: (c) an antibody light chain sequence having a VL and CL region; and (d) a monovalent region of a mammalian binding molecule fused to the VL region; characterised in that each pair of VH and VL CDR sequences has specificity for an antigen, such that the total valency of said soluble protein is six.

Abstract: The present invention relates to soluble SIRP? binding proteins, for use as a medicament, in particular for the prevention or treatment of autoimmune and inflammatory disorders, for example allergic asthma and inflammatory bowel diseases. The invention more specifically relates to a soluble SIRP? binding protein comprising a complex of two heterodimers, wherein each heterodimer essentially consists of: (i) a first monovalent single chain polypeptide comprising a first SIRP? binding domain fused at the N-terminal part of a heavy chain constant region of an antibody; and, (ii) a second monovalent single chain polypeptide comprising a second SIR % binding domain fused at the N-terminal part of a CL light chain constant region of an antibody. The invention further relates to soluble SIRP-binding antibody-like protein as shown in FIG. 1.

Abstract: The present invention relates to soluble CD47 binding polypeptides, for use as a medicament, in particular for the prevention or treatment of autoimmune and inflammatory disorders, for example allergic asthma and inflammatory bowel diseases. The invention more specifically relates to a soluble CD47 binding polypeptide for use as a medicament, comprising an extracellular domain of SIRP? (CD172a) or functional derivatives which bind to human CD47.
