  • Publication number: 20240141022
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides for IL2 engrafted into the CDR sequences of an antibody having preferred therapeutic profiles over molecules known and used in the clinic. In particular, the provided antibody cytokine engrafted protein compositions increase or maintain CD8+ T effector cells while reducing the activity of Treg cells. Additionally, provided compositions convey improved half-life, stability and produceability over recombinant human IL2 formulations such as Proleukin®.

  • Patent number: 11959788
    Abstract: A measuring system for measuring a mass flow rate, a density, a temperature or a flow velocity. The measuring system includes a main line, a first Coriolis measuring device arranged in the main line, a second Coriolis measuring device arranged in series with the first Coriolis measuring device in the main line, a bypass line which bypasses the second Coriolis measuring device, a first valve arranged in the bypass line, and a computing unit which is connected to the first Coriolis measuring device and to the second Coriolis measuring device. The first valve opens depending on a pressure. The first Coriolis measuring device is designed for a higher maximum flow rate than the second Coriolis measuring device.

  • Patent number: 11934467
    Abstract: Embodiments described herein generally relate to searching of media items associated with one or more keywords. Content search features may be generated and configured to receive search scope selections. A root level limitation may be associated with a folder within a media organization architecture. A query limitation may be associated with the content search features. In certain embodiments, means for automatically correcting the search scope selections to satisfy the query limitation are provided.

  • Patent number: 11919958
    Abstract: Provided herein are novel anti-CD28×anti-B7H3 (also referred to as “?CD28×?B7H3”) heterodimeric bispecific antibodies and methods of using such antibodies for the treatment of cancers. Subject ?CD28×?B7H3 antibodies are capable of agonistically binding to CD28 costimulatory molecules on T cells and targeting to B7H3 on tumor cells. Thus, such antibodies selectively enhance anti-tumor activity at tumor sites while minimizing peripheral toxicity. The subject antibodies provided herein are particularly useful for enhancing anti-tumor activity when used in combination with other anti-cancer therapies.

  • Patent number: 11759125
    Abstract: A wearable posture monitoring device is provided. The device includes a first posture sensor to measure a first bend parameter associated with shoulders of a user and a second posture sensor to measure a second bend parameter associated with vertebral column of the user. The device includes a control unit operatively coupled to the first posture sensor and the second posture sensor and is configured to compare the first bend parameter with a first predefined reference value and the second bend parameter with a second predefined reference value to detect an improper bend in one or more of the shoulders and vertebral column of the user. The control unit is further configured to display a visual indication, on a display interface associated with the posture monitoring device, to indicate the detected improper bend of one or more of the shoulders and vertebral column of the user.

  • Publication number: 20220396278
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for generating data for sensor system validation. A representative vehicle is equipped with a set of sensors positioned to provide a collective field of view defining a set of sensor locations as a set of master data and encompassing a field of view of a sensor positioned at any of the set of sensor locations. The set of sensor locations includes a sensor location at which no sensor of the set of sensors is placed. The representative vehicle is driven for a distance required for validation of a sensor system to provide master data representing the entire distance required for validation.
