Publication number: 20250215115Abstract: The present invention provides heterodimer pairs that can comprise a first heterodimer and a second heterodimer wherein each heterodimer comprises an immunoglobulin heavy chain or fragment thereof and an immunoglobulin light chain or fragment thereof. At least one of the heterodimers can comprise one or more amino acid modifications in the CH1 and/or CL domains, one or more amino acid modifications in the VH and/or VL domains, or a combination thereof. The modified amino acid(s) can be part of the interface between the light chain and heavy chain and are typically modified to create preferential pairing between each heavy chain and a desired light chain such that when the two heavy chains and two light chains of the heterodimer pair are co-expressed in a cell, the heavy chain of the first heterodimer preferentially pairs with one of the light chains rather than the other. Likewise, the heavy chain of the second heterodimer typically preferentially pairs with the second light chain rather than first.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 16, 2025Publication date: July 3, 2025Inventors: Mario Sanches, Thomas Spreter Von Kreudenstein, Dunja Urosev, Stacey A.L.

Patent number: 12328513Abstract: An optical system includes a spatial encoding arrangement for generating spatially encoded light with an initial spatial distribution; a coded aperture defining a mask pattern based on the initial spatial distribution of the spatially encoded light; and—an image sensor. The spatial encoding arrangement—directs the spatially encoded light onto the object, and the object reflects at least a portion of the spatially encoded light to form reflected light. The reflected light is directed through the coded aperture to form spatially decoded light. The spatially decoded light is directed onto the image sensor to form an image thereon, and the image sensor detects the image. The spatial encoding arrangement includes optical emitters spatially arranged, defining the initial spatial pattern of the spatially encoded light. The mask pattern is the inverse of the initial spatial pattern of the spatially encoded light defined by the spatial arrangement of the optical emitters.Type: GrantFiled: February 7, 2022Date of Patent: June 10, 2025Assignee: AMS-OSRAM ASIA PACIFIC PTE.

Patent number: 12166915Abstract: A processor-based personal electronic device (such as a smartphone) is programmed to automatically respond to data sent by various sensors from which the user's activity may be inferred. One or more alarms on the device may be temporarily disabled when sensor data indicates that the user is asleep. One or more of the sensors may be worn by the user and remote from the device. A wireless communication link may be used by the device to obtain remote sensor data. Data from on-board sensors in the device—such as motion sensors, location sensors, ambient light sensors, and the like—may also be used to deduce the user's current activity. User data (such as calendar entries) may also be used to determine likely user activity and set alarms accordingly. Biometric data from a second, nearby person may also be used to automatically select certain alarm modes on a first person's device.Type: GrantFiled: January 4, 2024Date of Patent: December 10, 2024Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Shannon M.

Patent number: 11777998Abstract: A mechanism is provided that enables hiding identities of a target subscriber that is to be subject of lawful interception, LI, when the intercept access point, IAP, is outside the network operator part of the LI domain. Monitoring of data traffic such as over-the-top, OTT, services is enabled while at the same time hiding LI target identities to a network element, NE, containing the IAP. A secure memory area in the NE is dedicated to the LI functionality necessary to intercept and report interception data to the operator part of the LI domain. The interface between the NE and the operator part of the LI domain is the use of a secure injection channel via which the necessary LI software and target information are conveyed between the NE and the operator part of the LI domain.Type: GrantFiled: October 4, 2018Date of Patent: October 3, 2023Assignee: TELEFONAKTIEBOLAGET LM ERICSSON (PUBL)Inventors: Claudio Carotenuto, Elio Barese, Paolo D'Amora, Francesca Marfia, Vincenzo Paparo
