  • Patent number: 11928944
    Abstract: Disclosures relate to a sensor system and arrangements having different sized removable spacers. The spacers may be mixed and matched as needed or desired to compensate for misalignment conditions. Further, different spacer combinations and adjustments may be guided by a security management computing device. Variations in configurations of mounting surfaces, such as door and window assemblies, may be accommodated. Alignment of a transmitter or a receiving device, e.g., a magnetic device, with respect to a transmitter or receiving device despite misalignment of the components due to, for example, uneven surfaces of a door or a window, or a respective frame may be achieved.

  • Publication number: 20240080941
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices relating to a wireless network device configured for adjustable positioning are described herein. In an example, a network device comprises a body and a bendable element configured to carry electrical power to the body and components therein. The body houses an antenna and transceiver configured for wireless communication. The bendable element, attached to the body of the network device, is configured for adjustable positioning such that a position of the bendable element is substantially maintained when the positioning force is removed. A facing of the antenna within the body may be based on the positioning of the bendable element.

  • Patent number: 11913025
    Abstract: Provided are methods of inducing differentiation and/or proliferation of T cells and uses thereof. In the present method, peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) isolated from a subject are cultivated with bi-specific antibodies (BsAbs) in a culture medium so as to differentiate the PBMCs into the T cells. Each of the T cells has an anti-tumor antigen moiety and an anti-CD3 moiety on its surface. Also provided are methods and pharmaceutical kits for treating subjects suffering from cancers.

  • Publication number: 20230354545
    Abstract: A housing may comprise a first surface comprising one or more ventilation openings and a second surface comprising one or more ventilation openings. The one or more ventilation openings of the first surface may be located in a recessed groove of the first surface. The second surface may be substantially perpendicular to the first surface. The housing may enable air to flow through the one or more ventilation openings of the first surface and the one or more ventilation openings of the second surface to direct heat away from the one or more internal components of the housing. The arrangement of the one or more ventilation openings may enable one or more housings to be stacked on top of each other without impeding air flow through the one or more ventilation openings of the first surface and/or the one or more ventilation openings of the second surface.

  • Publication number: 20230216993
    Abstract: An apparatus, such as a doorbell, may include a doorbell housing. The doorbell housing may include a front surface facing exterior of a premises and a rear surface facing interior of the premises. A camera, doorbell activator, motion sensor, and/or light source may be at least partially positioned within the doorbell housing. An antenna may be positioned within the doorbell housing. The antenna may be configured to send a wireless signal comprising data to a data receiving device inside the premises. A reflective member may be positioned within the doorbell housing and configured to reflect at least a portion of the wireless signal that is sent toward the front surface of the doorbell housing.

  • Publication number: 20230209120
    Abstract: A remote control that receives state information from an associated media device is disclosed. The remote control, in response to receiving data indicating that the media device is in a content state, may update an input assembly to indicate that the assembly may be used to perform a movement function. The remote control may instruct the media device to perform a movement function in response to a selection gesture, where the degree of movement is a single unit. In response to a swipe gesture, the remote control may instruct the media device to perform a linear movement with a greater degree of movement. Buttons and functions of the remote control may be further adapted in response to a menu-based state, or other states of the media device.
