  • Publication number: 20250088474
    Abstract: A device implementing a system for sharing groups of files within a messaging application includes a processor configured to provide, within the messaging application, a user interface element for sending at least one file to a participant in an active message thread of the messaging application, the at least one file having been determined to be relevant to the participant. The processor is further configured to, responsive to receiving a selection of the user interface element: transmit, to a server, a request to store the at least one file in association with a shared storage area, and to transmit, via the messaging application, a message to the participant in the active message thread, the message comprising information for accessing the at least one file associated with the shared storage area.

  • Publication number: 20250054713
    Abstract: A manual opening mechanism for use with an isolation switch of a circuit interrupter is fully integrated into the circuit interrupter. The manual opening mechanism includes a rotating handle that is accessible from the front panel of the circuit interrupter. Rotating the handle applies force to the centerline of the isolation switch drive shaft, which prevents uneven loading and thus optimizes robustness during manual opening of the isolation switch. In addition, the handle has an ergonomic design, and is proportioned to minimize the force that an operator must apply to the handle in order to open the isolation switch.

  • Publication number: 20240409644
    Abstract: The present invention relates to humanized antibodies that specifically bind to IL-1R3 or a fragment or derivative thereof or a polypeptide that contains at least a portion of said antibody that is sufficient to confer IL-1R3 binding specificity. Said antibodies inhibit IL-1R3 induced NFkB activity. They also inhibit IL-1alpha, IL-1beta, IL-33, and/or IL-36 stimulated NFkB activity. The invention further relates to use of said humanized antibody in the treatment of an IL-1R3 mediated disease such as cancer. The present invention also encompasses a pharmaceutical composition comprising a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier and a therapeutically effective amount of the antibody according to the invention. The pharmaceutical composition can be used in treating a IL-1R3 mediated disease such as cancer.

  • Patent number: 12129307
    Abstract: Monoclonal antibodies that specifically bind to HER2, or a fragment or derivative thereof or a polypeptide that contains at least a portion of said antibody that is sufficient to confer specific HER2 binding to the polypeptide. Said antibodies bind to the human Fc receptor and induce FcR mediated signaling pathways. The antibodies according to the invention bind to a different epitope than trastuzumab. A pharmaceutical composition comprising a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier and a therapeutically effective amount of the antibody.

  • Patent number: 12079567
    Abstract: Described herein are methods and systems to generate and display interactive graphical user interfaces that receive data inputs from users while emulating a chat session. A server retrieves a set of prompts associated with an electronic form; displays, within a webpage, a first element corresponding to a prompt and a second element having at least one input element configured to receive an input from a user interacting with the webpage. When the user interacts with an input element, the server relocates the first element and dynamically revises the second element by relocating the second element and displaying inputted values received from the user interacting with the at least one input element of the second element. The server then displays a third element comprising next prompts of the electronic form.

  • Publication number: 20240004521
    Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to managing and sharing contextually-relevant media content. In some embodiments, a device receives an input, and in response, displays a suggested collection of media items for sharing with a recipient, wherein the collection is relevant to a message conversation with the recipient. Subsequent to displaying the suggested collection, the device transmits a message to the recipient as part of the message conversation that provides access to the at least a portion of the suggested collection of media items. In some embodiments, a device receives an indication, from an external device, that a first user has shared a first collection of media items with a second user. Subsequent to receiving the indication that the first user has shared the first collection of media items with the second user, the device outputs a prompt to share, with the first user, one or more suggested media items.
