  • Publication number: 20240108737
    Abstract: The present invention relates to multimers of polypeptides which are covalently bound to molecular scaffolds such that two or more peptide loops are subtended between attachment points to the scaffold. The invention also describes the multimerization of polypeptides through various chemical linkers and hinges of various lengths and rigidity using different sites of attachments within polypeptides. In particular, the invention describes multimers of peptides which are high affinity binders of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), particularly the spike protein S1 of SARS-CoV-2. The invention also includes pharmaceutical compositions comprising said polypeptides and to the use of said polypeptides in suppressing or treating a disease or disorder mediated by infection of SARS-CoV-2 or for providing prophylaxis to a subject at risk of infection of SARS-CoV-2.

  • Patent number: 10559544
    Abstract: There is disclosed a package comprising at least an integrated circuit embedded in an electrically non-conductive moulded material. The moulded material includes at least one moulded pattern on at least one surface thereof, and at least one electrically conductive track in the pattern. There is further provided at least one capacitive, inductive or galvanic component electrically connecting between at least two parts of the at least one electrically conductive track. The conductive track can be configured as antenna, and the capacitive, inductive or galvanic component is used to adjust tuning and other characteristics of the antenna.

  • Publication number: 20110240187
    Abstract: A handle cover to indicate that a container holding a consumable such as beer is empty or “tapped out.” The cover is made of a flexible material such as neoprene to permit the cover to fit over beer tap handles of various shapes. The outer surface of the cover may be colored or printed with indicators to inform patrons of the establishment where the beer tap is being used that the draft beer is empty or tapped out, or another status of the keg associated with the beer tap.

  • Publication number: 20070176287
    Abstract: A semiconductor package comprising a non-conductive film which defines opposed top and bottom film surfaces and includes a plurality of vias disposed therein. Disposed on the top film surface is a plurality of upper leads which circumvent respective ones of the vias. Similarly, disposed on the bottom film surface is a plurality of lower leads which circumvent respective ones of the vias and are electrically connected to respective ones of the upper leads. At least one transmission line element is also disposed on the top film surface and electrically connected to at least one of the upper leads. Attached to the top film surface and electrically connected to at least one of the upper leads and the transmission line element is at least one semiconductor die. A package body at least partially covers the semiconductor die, the upper leads, the transmission line element, and the top film surface.
