  • Patent number: 11016483
    Abstract: A system and method for operating an indoor/outdoor drone in a training mode that limits the maximum altitude during flight, restricts the ability to perform rapid maneuvers, and also may disable the ability to conduct aerial stunts. The system includes a flight controller that may select between the training mode, a normal mode, and a stunt mode. In the training mode, the flight controller restricts an increase in altitude of the drone beyond an altitude threshold, and also restricts an increase in one or more movement parameters of the drone beyond respective movement parameter thresholds. The selection of the training mode may disable the ability for the user to select the stunt mode.

  • Patent number: 10035840
    Abstract: Targeted coagulation factors comprising a coagulation factor linked with at least one domain that specifically binds to a membrane protein on a blood cell is provided. The disclosed targeted coagulation factors increase the efficiency of coagulation factors and prolong their duration of action and thus, are an improvement for the treatment of hematological diseases such as hemophilia A.

  • Publication number: 20170218035
    Abstract: Compositions and methods are provided for therapeutic treatment using recombinant Hemopexin molecules having sufficient sialyation and/or absence of neutral glycans to allow for sufficient circulation to remove free heme from a biological organism. In other embodiments, a recombinant Hemopexin molecule is provided for therapeutic treatment having a percentage of neutral glycans to total glycans in a range of from about 2 to about 30 percent as measured by HPLC after labelling with fluorescent probe 2-aminobenzoic acid. Methods of treatment and making a recombinant Hemopexin molecule are also described.

  • Publication number: 20150307625
    Abstract: Provided herein are antibodies, antigen-binding antibody fragments (Fabs), and other protein scaffolds, directed against human activated Protein C (aPC) with minimal binding to its zymogen Protein C (PC). Moreover, these aPC binding proteins could potentially block the anti-coagulant activity of aPC to induce coagulation. Therapeutic uses of these binders are described herein as are methods of panning and screening specific antibodies.

  • Patent number: 7960532
    Abstract: This invention relates to novel antibodies that bind with greater affinity to the factor VIIa/tissue factor (FVIIa/TF) complex than to tissue factor (TF) alone, do not compete for binding to TF with FVII and FX, an inhibit FX activation. The antibodies bind at the site of injury and prevent the initiation of thrombosis. The antibodies can be used to treat a variety of thrombotic conditions including but not limited to deep vein thrombosis, disseminated intravascular coagulation, and acute coronary syndrome.
