  • Publication number: 20220089694
    Abstract: Human monoclonal antibodies that specifically bind Ebola virus glycoprotein with nanomolar affinity are described. The monoclonal antibodies were isolated by bulk sorting of plasmablasts from a human Ebola virus vaccinee and pairing of the immunoglobulin heavy and light chain genes using emulsion PCR. The paired immunoglobulin genes were expressed using Fab yeast display to screen and characterize the antibodies. The Ebola virus-specific monoclonal antibodies can be used, for example, to diagnose and treat Ebola virus infection or Ebola virus disease in a subject.

  • Publication number: 20130046560
    Abstract: Some embodiments may be directed to matching users, such as employees, with insurance records in an integrated database, wherein the integrated database includes a plurality of insurance records, each record being associated with a unique employee and having a plurality of fields. According to some embodiments, new employee information may be received and it may be determined that the new employee information does not qualify as a strong match with any insurance record in the integrated database. Moreover, it may be determined, based on a probabilistic pattern match of the new employee information with values in the fields of the integrated database, that the new employee information qualifies as a weak match with a particular insurance record in the integrated database.

  • Patent number: 8080974
    Abstract: The battery charge indicator provides a color-coded battery status indicator system adapted for attachment to or adjacent the battery compartment on a power tool body. The system includes a first member that is adapted for attachment to the surface of the power tool. The front face of the first member is provided with hook and loop fastener material thereon. A second member has a first face fabricated from green-colored hook and loop fastener material and an opposite, second face fabricated from red-colored hook or loop fastener material. Display of the red-colored face indicates that the battery needs recharging. Display of the green-colored face indicates that the battery is charged.
