Abstract: A method for determining a three dimensional, 3D, position of an object; wherein the object is located in a field of view of an optical sensor; wherein the object is located on or above a plane or preferably on a virtual plane. The method comprising the steps of: a) acquiring an image from the optical sensor comprising the object; b) obtaining the 3D position of the optical sensor in a 3D map comprising at least a portion of the field of view of the optical sensor; c) recognizing the object in the image; d) determining a 2D position of the object in the image; e) determining the plane in the 3D map; f) determining, in the 3D map, at least one line of sight vector from the 3D position of the optical sensor to the object based on the projection of the 2D position of the object in the 3D map, g) determining the 3D position of the object based on the intersection of the at least one line of sight vector with the plane.

Also provided are methods and uses of the antibody in conjunction with other immunomodulatory agents such as an anti-PD-1 antibody.

Abstract: This disclosure relates mRNA therapy for the treatment of ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency (OTCD). mRNAs for use in the invention, when administered in vivo, encode human ornithine transcarbamylase (OTC), isoforms thereof, functional fragments thereof, and fusion proteins comprising OTC. mRNAs of the invention are preferably encapsulated in lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) to effect efficient delivery to cells and/or tissues in subjects, when administered thereto. mRNA therapies of the invention increase and/or restore deficient levels of OTC expression and/or activity in subjects. mRNA therapies of the invention further decrease levels of toxic ammonia associated with deficient OTC activity in subjects.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to mRNA therapy for the treatment of hyperphenylalaninemias such as phenylketonuria (PKU). mRNAs for use in the invention, when administered in vivo, encode human phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH), functional fragments thereof (e.g., those comprising the catalytic domain or the catalytic domain and the tetramerization domains), and fusion proteins comprising PAH. mRNAs of the invention are preferably encapsulated in lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) to effect efficient delivery to cells and/or tissues in subjects, when administered thereto. mRNA therapies of the invention increase and/or restore deficient levels of PAH expression and/or activity in subjects. mRNA therapies of the invention further decrease abnormal accumulation of phenylalanine associated with deficient PAH activity in subjects.

Abstract: System for controlling a remote controllable object, RCO, comprising a database configured to maintain remote control information regarding at least one RCO, wherein the remote control information comprises at least one remote control command of the RCO; a remote control signal sending unit configured to send at least one remote control signal comprised in the remote control command to at least one RCO via a remote control interface; a first controller operationally connected to the database, wherein the first controller is configured to retrieve the remote control information for an RCO from the database; and is configured to send remote control information via a first communication interface to a second controller; wherein the second controller is operationally connected to the remote control sending unit; and is configured to receive the remote control information from the first controller via the first communication interface; and is configured to send at least one remote control signal based on the remot

Abstract: The present invention relates to novel compounds, in particular novel pyridinone derivatives according to Formula (I) wherein all radicals are as defined in the application and claims. The compounds according to the invention are positive allosteric modulators of metabotropic receptors—subtype 2 (“mGluR2”) which are useful for the treatment or prevention of neurological and psychiatric disorders associated with glutamate dysfunction and diseases in which the mGluR2 subtype of metabotropic receptors is involved. In particular, such diseases are central nervous system disorders selected from the group of anxiety, schizophrenia, migraine, depression, and epilepsy. The invention is also directed to pharmaceutical compositions and processes to prepare such compounds and compositions, as well as to the use of such compounds for the prevention and treatment of such diseases in which mGluR2 is involved.
