  • Patent number: 10683023
    Abstract: The wheelbarrow of the present embodiments provides a frame and a tub wherein the tub has a recess for receiving at least a portion of a wheel. Additionally, at least a portion of the frame and a portion of the tub may extend forward of the wheel. Further, a distance between a center of gravity of the tub and a vertical line or plane bisecting a rotational axis of the wheel when the wheelbarrow is in a resting position may be approximately equal to or less than a radius of the wheel. Also, the wheelbarrow may be powered by an engine or motor. The wheelbarrow may also include a transmission capable of rotating the wheel in a forward or reverse direction. Moreover, the wheelbarrow may contain control levers located adjacent handle grips for controlling the motor or engine, or the transmission.

  • Publication number: 20190085068
    Abstract: IL-18 participates in both innate and acquired immunity. The bioactivity of IL-18 is negatively regulated by the IL-18 binding protein (IL18BP), a naturally occurring and highly specific inhibitor. This soluble protein forms a complex with free IL-18 preventing its interaction with the IL-18 receptor, thus neutralizing and inhibiting its biological activity. The present invention discloses binding molecules, in particular antibodies or fragments thereof, which bind IL-18 and do not bind IL-18 bound to IL-18BP (IL-18/IL-18BP complex). Apart from its physiological role, IL-18 has been shown to mediate a variety of autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. The binding molecules of the inventions may be used as therapeutic molecules for treating IL-18-related autoimmune and inflammatory diseases or as diagnostic tools for characterizing, detecting and/or measuring IL-18 not bound to IL-18BP as component of the total IL-18 pool.
