Publication number: 20250025540Abstract: A vaccine is disclosed that promotes CD4+ T cell-independent host defense mechanisms to defend against infection by fungi such as Pneumocystis spp. The vaccine may be used to prevent or to treat fungal infections. The novel vaccine can provide protective immunity, even for immunocompromised individuals such as HIV patients having reduced levels of CD4+ T cells.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 25, 2024Publication date: January 23, 2025Applicants: UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH - OF THE COMMONWEALTH SYSTEM OF HIGHER EDUCATION, Board Of Supervisors Of Louisiana State University And Agricultural And Mechanical CollegeInventors: Jay K. Kolls, Michael Zheng, Karen Norris, Heather Kling

Publication number: 20240356260Abstract: A building controller receiving base for receiving a building controller. The building controller may include a building controller housing that houses a building controller electrical connector that includes a spring contact extending outside of the building controller housing. The building controller receiving base includes a base housing including one or more attachment features for releasably securing the building controller to the base housing, and a base electrical connector housed by the base housing. The base electrical connector includes a spring contact extending outside of the base housing at a location that is aligned with the spring contact of the building controller electrical connector when the building controller is secured to the base housing via the one or more attachment features. The base electrical connector further comprises a first terminal pin that extends outside of the base housing and is accessible from outside of the base housing.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 27, 2021Publication date: October 24, 2024Inventors: Michael ZHENG, Yong MU, Ke ZHANG, Konstantinos KAFANDARIS

Patent number: 11828481Abstract: A building controller may include a housing having a back plate and a mounting clip, which may be slidably disposed relative to the back plate between a wall mount position used when mounting the building controller to the wall, and a DIN rail mount position used when mounting the building controller to a DIN rail. When in the wall mount position, the mounting clip and the back plate may be configured to hold the mounting clip in the wall mount position until at least a first threshold sliding force is applied to the mounting clip. When in the DIN rail mount position, the mounting clip and the back plate are configured to hold the mounting clip in the DIN rail mount position until at least a second threshold sliding force is applied to the mounting clip.Type: GrantFiled: October 16, 2020Date of Patent: November 28, 2023Assignee: HONEYWELL INTERNATIONAL, INC.Inventors: Xinyan Zheng, Michael Zheng, Hang Su, Haitao Li, Li Chen, Kun Wang, Cary Leen
