  • Publication number: 20180208072
    Abstract: Disclosed is a system and a method of operating an inductive power transfer system for transferring power to a vehicle. The inductive power transfer system includes a primary winding structure for generating an alternating electromagnetic field and a secondary winding structure for receiving the alternating electromagnetic field and generating an alternating current output voltage, wherein the alternating current output voltage is rectified and supplied to at least one energy storage element. The rectified output voltage is adjusted by varying a gap size of a gap between the primary winding structure and the secondary winding structure, wherein the gap size is adjusted to prepare and/or to initiate and/or to control an energy transfer process depending on charging characteristics of the at least one energy storage element.

  • Publication number: 20180187145
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides populations of cells comprising partially mature and optimally activated dendritic cells that can be used for administration to individuals having a cancer and/or tumor. Partially matured dendritic cells, those contacted with a dendritic cell maturation agent for about 10 to about 19 hours, upon administration efficiently take up and process tumor antigens in the area of the tumor site, complete maturation, and can subsequently migrate to the lymph nodes of a treated individual. Once in a lymph node the now fully mature antigen presenting dendritic cells secrete the appropriate cytokines (e.g., TNF?, IL-6, IL-8, and/or IL-12) and contact T cells inducing a substantial and optimal clinical and/or anti-tumor immune response.

  • Patent number: 9868130
    Abstract: The invention relates to a roll coating process for applying a coating layer on a non-continuous sheet, comprising the steps of 1) applying a liquid coating composition to the top surface of the sheet by passing the sheet horizontally between an applicator roll and a backing roll; 2) forwarding the coated sheet with a coated sheet forwarder; wherein forwarding is interrupted after passing the applicator roll while maintaining a meniscus of liquid coating composition between stopped sheet and rotating applicator roll, and forwarding is restarted when the meniscus has disappeared. With this process it is possible to make sheets coated with an optical coating like an anti-reflective coating, which sheets show markedly smaller and less visible edge defects, especially at the trailing edge.
