Abstract: Anti-PVRIG and anti-TIGIT antibodies are provided.

Abstract: A system and method for making proceeds of a transaction available to a user before the transaction is completed is provided. The system may be part of an on-line system or traditional merchant configured to facilitate payments or fund transfers from users. In example embodiments, a request from a first entity to conduct a transaction involving a first value is received. Funds of the transaction are caused to be released prior to the transaction clearing a financial institution. Based on the transaction being rejected by the financial institution, at least a portion of the first value is charged against a credit source.

Abstract: A system and method for making funds of a transaction available to a user before a funding entry clears is provided. The system may be part of an on-line system configured to facilitate payments or fund transfers from users. In example embodiments, a transaction request from a user is received. A risk score indicating a perceived risk involved with releasing funds before the funding entry clears is computed. Funds of the transaction are caused to be released prior to the funding entry clearing a financial institution based on the risk score exceeding a transfer threshold.

Abstract: The invention relates to a novel pet flotation and safety vest device wherein the body section attaches firmly yet comfortably to the pet, and strategically placed mesh panels allow for water drainage. A padded chip strap aids in keeping the pet's head above water. The vest is adjustable for varying sizes of dogs.

Abstract: The invention relates to a novel pet harness and pack for comfortably harnessing a dog and providing a dispenser for waste bags one on side of the harness and a storage pouch on the opposite side. The pouches are colorfully decorated with character faces and the bags will dispense out of a portion of the character's face. A metal loop is provided beneath a cross-stitched reinforced section of fabric wherein a leash may be attached to the harness.

Abstract: The invention relates to a novel pet toy and treat dispenser wherein treats are inserted into a hollow center tube and a cap is placed to close the fill tube. A basket with a hole for a ball drop resides atop the fill tube. A ball must then be dropped into the basket where it will travel down a spiral track and fall onto a trip tab which will briefly open a flap and a few treats will be ejected into a dish portion in the base. The flap will then reclose in preparation for further activation.

Abstract: The invention relates to a novel pet toy wherein the pet must determine how to solve the puzzle and obtain treats located in concealed receptacles in the base portion of the toy. Treats are located in receptacles wherein retrieval may be prevented or allowed when the animal is required to remove tab affixed “step blocks” in a specific order to retrieve the treats. Step blocks cannot be removed out of order or complete removal is prevented.

Abstract: The invention relates to a novel pet ball launcher which uses a friction fit, scoop edges, and tuned tines or “fingers” which control the release of the ball and thus arc and distance thereof. Embodiments include a pivot hinged handle for added launch inertia, and a thumb latch to prevent hinging motion for fixed and controlled distanced ball launching.

Abstract: The invention relates to a novel pet toy wherein the pet must determine how to solve the puzzle and obtain treats located in concealed receptacles in the base portion of the toy. Treats are located in receptacles wherein retrieval may be prevented or allowed when the animal is required to remove “blocks” in order to rotate the top portion of the toy to reveal the treat receptacles. All blocks must be removed in order to rotate the top and allow access to the treats.

Abstract: The invention relates to a novel pet puzzle toy in which a base piece has treat receptacles which a pet must learn to solve the puzzle to obtain. Removable inserts seat in the receptacles and base coverings. The base coverings must be slid outward after the pet learns to remove the inserts which impede that movement otherwise. Thereupon the treats are exposed and pet's cognitive abilities allow it to solve the puzzle whenever treats are inserted.

Abstract: The invention relates to a novel pet toy in which a ball slides across a surface via cutouts in the base of the toy and uses friction to assist with the sliding motion. The toy is especially effective on carpeted surfaces. A transparent top piece allows the pet to see the ball inside move and thus is enticed to retrieve the moving ball. Four arms of the toy emanate from the center and provide one or more exit apertures for a pet to determine how to, and then retrieve the ball.

Abstract: The invention relates to a novel pet toy wherein the pet must determine how to solve the puzzle and obtain treats located in concealed receptacles in the base portion of the toy. The top portion must be rotated by the animal in such a way as to be off-center and remove barriers to the treat receptacles located in the base portion of the toy. Hinged coverings are located atop the receptacles so that even after the pet has rotated the top portion, it must then determine how to open the flaps and retrieve the treat.
