Patent number: 11937574Abstract: An interactive device for animals is provided that includes a main body, a driving module and a first rotating member. The main body includes an accommodating groove, an opening, and a communicating channel. The driving module is disposed on the main body. The first rotating member is rotatably disposed in the main body and separates the communicating channel and the accommodating groove. When the driving module drives the first rotating member to rotate in a first rotating direction, the first rotating member drives at least one object disposed in the accommodating groove to enter the communicating channel and leave the main body through the opening.Type: GrantFiled: September 7, 2021Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: TOMOFUN CO., LTD.Inventors: Chia-Yen Chang, Min-Wei Chen, Yo-Chen Victor Chang

Publication number: 20240072155Abstract: A method includes forming a transistor, which includes forming a dummy gate stack over a semiconductor region, and forming an Inter-Layer Dielectric (ILD). The dummy gate stack is in the ILD, and the ILD covers a source/drain region in the semiconductor region. The method further includes removing the dummy gate stack to form a trench in the first ILD, forming a low-k gate spacer in the trench, forming a replacement gate dielectric extending into the trench, forming a metal layer to fill the trench, and performing a planarization to remove excess portions of the replacement gate dielectric and the metal layer to form a gate dielectric and a metal gate, respectively. A source region and a drain region are then formed on opposite sides of the metal gate.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 8, 2023Publication date: February 29, 2024Inventors: Kuo-Hua Pan, Je-Wei Hsu, Hua Feng Chen, Jyun-Ming Lin, Chen-Huang Peng, Min-Yann Hsieh, Java Wu

Publication number: 20230112794Abstract: The present invention discloses an monoclonal antibody, which can bind to HyIL-6 with the binding constant 2.86×10?10 and significantly inhibit IL-6/IL-6R/gp130 complex formation. In addition, the monoclonal antibody of the present invention effectively inhibits HyIL-6-stimulated signal transducer and activator of transcription 3(STAT3) activation and related vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) induction. Data from hydrogen deuterium exchange mass spectrometry (HDX-MS) demonstrate that the antibody of the present invention mainly binds to site IIIa of IL-6 and blocks the final step in the interaction between gp130 and IL-6/IL-6R complex. Additionally, data from ELISA binding assays and kinetics assays indicate that the antibody of the present invention interacts simultaneously with IL-6 and IL-6R, while it does not interact with IL-6R alone.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 6, 2022Publication date: April 13, 2023Inventors: Ling-Hung WEI, Kuo-Tai Hua, Min-Wei Chen, Chun-Chi Chou
