  • Patent number: 12492392
    Abstract: The present invention provides histidyl-tRNA synthetase and Fc region conjugate polypeptides (HRS-Fc conjugates), such as HRS-Fc fusion polypeptides, compositions comprising the same, and methods of using such conjugates and compositions for treating or diagnosing a variety of conditions. The HRS-Fc conjugates of the invention have improved controlled release properties, stability, half-life, and other pharmacokinetic and biological properties relative to corresponding, unmodified HRS polypeptides.

  • Publication number: 20240184952
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are a computer-implemented method, a system, and a computer program product for predicting the properties of a coating layer CL or transmission and/or reflection properties of a substrate coated with a coating layer CL and optionally at least one further coating layer. Further disclosed herein is a method of using the computer-implemented method for screening coating layers CL or coated substrates including at least one coating layer CL and optionally at least one further coating layer. Additionally disclosed herein are a substrate coated with a coating layer CL, at least one further coating layer, and a client device for generating a request to initiate the prediction of at least one property of a coating layer CL or at least one transmission and/or reflection property of the substrate.

  • Patent number: 11809142
    Abstract: An electronic hinge system is provided, including a first component and a second component. The first component may include a first enclosure, a first substrate extending within the first enclosure, a first connector, and a plurality of curved elements disposed in the first connector. The first substrate may have electrically conductive elements and microelectronic devices electrically connected with the electrically conductive elements. The curved elements may be electrically conductive and spaced apart from one another. Each curved element may be electrically connected with a respective one of the electrically conductive elements of the first component. The second component may include a second enclosure and a second connector disposed at an end of the second enclosure. The first connector may be configured to mate with the second connector, such that when the first component is engaged with the second component, the first connector is rotationally coupled with the second connector.

  • Publication number: 20230302859
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel robot drive train that is robust, and low cost. The drive train is capable of ascending obstacles greater than the height of its wheels, protects the robot against shocks/vibration, and is highly maneuverable, such as able to execute a zero-point turn. To control the bogie in a variety of scenarios, a novel mechanism is used to selectively limit the articulation range of the bogie and/or programmatically apply a preload to the bogie axle.
