  • Publication number: 20190322739
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a novel bispecific protein complex and a method of using the complexes to screen for synergistic or novel biological function. The bispecific format is particularly suitable for high-throughput screening because all of its components can be expressed from cells as individual units and the units can be assembled simply by mixing without employing conjugation or coupling chemistry.

  • Patent number: 7843175
    Abstract: Excitation control circuitry for a synchronous generator is disclosed. The synchronous generator is of a type comprising a main machine (2) and an exciter (6) for exciting the main machine. The excitation control circuitry comprises an automatic voltage regulator (10) for controlling power flow from the main machine to the exciter, and an excitation boost system (14) for selectively supplying power from a second source of electrical power (12) to the exciter (6). This can allow additional excitation to be provided, for example, when the generator is in overload. This arrangement can allow a synchronous generator to be upgraded by adding the excitation boost system to provide enhanced overload performance.
