  • Publication number: 20250007778
    Abstract: There is provided a method for handling an updated profile of a first network function (NF) node of a service producer in a network. The method is performed by a network repository function (NRF) node. Priority information for the first NF node is removed (602) from the updated profile received from the first NF node if the NRF node previously changed the priority information. The priority information is for use by the network node in selecting an NF node of a service producer to provide a service requested by a second NF node of a service consumer. The priority information is indicative of a priority with which the first NF node is to be selected relative to at least one other NF node of the service producer. Transmission (604) of the updated profile, with the priority information removed, is initiated towards the network node.

  • Publication number: 20240408136
    Abstract: Provided herein are compositions and methods for the treatment of cancers using modified TILs, wherein the modified TILs include one or more immunomodulatory agents (e.g., cytokines) associated with their cell surface. The immunomodulatory agents associated with the TILs provide a localized immunostimulatory effect that can advantageously enhance TIL survival, proliferation and/or anti-tumor activity in a patient recipient. As such, the compositions and methods disclosed herein provide effective cancer therapies.

  • Patent number: 12053267
    Abstract: A method and a device for non-contact determination of temporal color and/or intensity variations in objects in a scene. Monoscopic overview images of the scene are detected with first and second overview cameras from two different viewing directions, and calculated to form a stereoscopic overview map. A two-dimensional detail image is detected by a detail camera from a third viewing direction and is projected on the overview map. Measurement surfaces in the scene are selected based on criteria which are predetermined depending on parameters on which conclusions are to be drawn from the color variations and/or intensity variations. Light emitted by the measurement surfaces is detected in a spatially-resolved and wavelength-resolved manner in a continuously-captured series of measurement images in a predetermined spectral range. The measurement surfaces are analyzed in the measurement images with respect to temporal variation of the intensity and/or color of the light, and the results displayed.
