  • Patent number: 10835915
    Abstract: Disclosed is an essence atomizer having an integrally formed universal connector, comprising: an atomizer universal connector integrally formed into a pipe piece, and an outer shell. Wherein, the pipe port of the first end portion is greater than the pipe port of the second end portion. On the pipe port of the first end portion is disposed inward in sequence a front connection port, the inner threads, and a bottom groove for placing a rubber ring. While on the pipe port of the second end portion is disposed an expansion ring connected to an atomizer plate, an oil prevention pad, and a nozzle cover. The essence atomizer is compact in size and simple in structure Since the essence atomizer is integrally formed into a piece, so it requires less components, and the production process can be reduced.

  • Patent number: 9688756
    Abstract: Described herein are variant Fc-fragments that contain an insertion within or adjacent to a loop that bind to the neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn) with higher affinity and/or higher binding activity at pH 5-6 and approximately the same or lower affinity at a physiologic pH as compared to a control Fc-fragment, that is, little or no binding activity at a physiologic pH. Also described are variant Fc-polypeptides that comprise these variant Fc-fragments. Further described are methods of making and identifying such Fc-fragments and methods for making and using such Fc-polypeptides.
