Publication number: 20110232090Abstract: A method of forming a flow restriction in a fluid communication system is disclosed. The method comprises the steps of providing a flow restricting section having a cross sectional area and a length, measuring the flow resistivity of the flow restricting section, and modifying the cross sectional area and/or the length of the flow restricting section until a desired flow resistivity of the flow restricting section is obtained. The method provides the possibility of forming a flow restriction in an easy and cost effective manner, and to subsequently adjust the flow resistivity of the flow restriction, thereby obtaining an accurate flow resistivity.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 7, 2009Publication date: September 29, 2011Applicant: FLOWSION APSInventors: Kristian Raaby Poulsen, Peter Andreas Rasmussen

Patent number: 7733918Abstract: In a live audio presentation system, a stage rack and a front of house rack are interconnected by a transmission medium that transmits digital audio data and control information between them. Packets of digital audio data and control information are sent at the audio sampling rate. The packets of data are encoded using an encoding technique that provides unique codes that may be detected, thus enabling clock recovery of a clock signal embedded in the data packets. Data packets may include data for error checking. A serial digital transmission medium may be used as the transmission medium. Such a transmission medium uses low voltage signals and supports high bit rates. The system is synchronized by the FOH rack which transmits data to the stage rack according to a local audio sample clock or an external audio sample clock to which it synchronizes. This clock is embedded in data packets sent to the stage rack.Type: GrantFiled: September 9, 2005Date of Patent: June 8, 2010Assignee: AVID Technology, Inc.Inventors: Michael Poimboeuf, Scott C. Bittle, David D. Clementson, John C. Weitz, Robert Jiro Snavely, J. Douglas Rollow, IV, Peter Andreas Richert, Dave Conry, Chris Michael, Georges Berenger

Publication number: 20090075340Abstract: The present invention relates to agents and methods that are capable of augmenting NK-mediated killing of target cells by reducing inhibitory KIR signalling without reducing the binding of KIR to HLA-C. As described herein, transduction of negative signaling via KIR, upon binding of KIR to its HLA class I ligand, can involve a ligand-binding induced, conformational reorientation of the KIR molecules allowing interactions to form between adjacent KIRs in specific domains, leading to accelerated clustering. Methods and agents such as monoclonal antibodies for reducing KIR-mediated inhibition of NK cell cytotoxicity without reducing or blocking HLA-binding by, e.g., reducing or blocking dimerization of KIR, are provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 2, 2008Publication date: March 19, 2009Applicants: Novo Nordisk A/S, Innate Pharma S.A.S.Inventors: Soren Berg Padkaer, Peter Andreas Nicolai Reumert Wagtmann, Pieter Spee, Stefan Zahn, Kristian Kjaergaard, Anders Svensson

Publication number: 20090035305Abstract: Described are methods of treating viral disease using compounds that block inhibitory NK cell receptors, thereby reducing their inhibition of NK cell cytotoxicity in killing infected target cells. In one embodiment, the compound is an antibody binding, for example, one or more of the human KIR2DL1, KIR2DL2, and KIR2DL3 receptors. In another embodiment, the method further comprises administering a therapeutic antibody or fusion protein which binds an antigen expressed on cells infected with the virus.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 6, 2006Publication date: February 5, 2009Applicants: Novo Nordisk A/S, Innate Pharma S.A.S.Inventors: Peter Andreas Wagtmann, Francois Romagne, Joakim Glamann

Publication number: 20090010843Abstract: Described is a method of identifying antibodies against hitherto unknown ligands of orphan receptors or other orphan ligands, i.e., receptors or other ligands where the counter-ligand has not yet been identified. The availability of antibodies binding to the unknown ligand significantly facilitates their isolation and characterization, and the identified antibodies can themselves be useful for treating patients with cancer or autoimmune diseases, or other disorders. An exemplary embodiment provides for a method designated Identification of Therapeutic Antibodies by Competitive Screening (ITACS). Described are also fusion proteins comprising a soluble portion of an orphan receptor, such as NKp30, and the Fc portion of an antibody. The fusion proteins typically comprise a Flexible Transmembrane Linker (FTL), i.e., a linker comprising a portion of a transmembrane domain of the orphan receptor.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 25, 2006Publication date: January 8, 2009Applicant: Novo Nordisk A/SInventors: Pieter Spee, Peter Andreas Wagtmann, Thomas Chin Che Tan
