Abstract: The presently disclosed subject matter provides chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) that specifically target CD19 and cells comprising such CD19-targeted CARs. The presently disclosed subject matter further provides uses of the CD19-targeted CARs for treatment, e.g., for treating blood cancer.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for determining the direction and the amplitude of a force applied to a system (IO) comprising a stationary portion (13) and a mobile portion (12) which can deform when exposed to said force. Mechanical deformations applied to the mobile portion when exposed to said force are measured by measuring a distance between the stationary portion and the mobile portion in the direction of application of the force, and the distance measurements are processed in order to determine the amplitude and the direction of the force.

Abstract: The invention relates to a ring seal which comprises a main body capable of implementing a seal by static contact relative to a first cylindrical element, and a first circumferential lip capable of engaging by friction with a cylindrical surface of a second cylindrical element, said cylindrical elements being substantially coaxial and mounted so as to pivot relative to one another. The main body comprises a front surface configured to be in axial contact with a front surface of the first cylindrical element, the main body comprising a second circumferential lip radially opposite the first circumferential lip and capable of being in radial contact with a cylindrical surface of the first cylindrical element.

Abstract: Sealing device for a propeller shaft of a marine vehicle propulsion unit including a plurality of sealing lips axially offset relative to each other, with a receiving space for a hydraulic fluid delimited by two adjacent sealing lips, at least one buffer space axially offset with respect to the receiving space and delimited by two adjacent sealing lips, whereby the sealing device includes suitable feeding means for supplying the buffer space with a buffer fluid. The device includes a sampling circuit able to sample fluid included in the buffer space and a monitoring device able to check parameters of the fluid sampled by the sampling circuit.

Abstract: The drive unit is designed to be mounted on a marine vessel, including a mobile housing, and is able to pivot around an axis against the hull of the marine vessel. A drive shaft mounted rotary is against the mobile housing and is supported by two roller bearings. A propulsion element rotates in solidarity with the drive shaft. The propulsion unit has, at the front, at least two braking and locking systems of the drive shaft located in an area between the upstream rolling bearing and propulsion element.
