  • Publication number: 20220301441
    Abstract: A method and a system for displaying and managing a situation in the environment of an aircraft. Such a system comprises a first display device, several cameras covering the external environment around the aircraft, a helmet worn by an occupant and comprising a second display device, at least one sensor measuring a position and an orientation of the helmet. This system makes it possible to determine a monitoring zone in the environment of the aircraft, then display a first image representing the monitoring zone on the first display device. Next, a center of interest is selected in the monitoring zone, after which a second image representing the center of interest is displayed on the second display device. Finally, a sighting marker is displayed indicating the center of interest.

  • Patent number: 9556266
    Abstract: The invention features antibodies, e.g., chimeric and humanized antibodies, that recognize (i.e., bind) P-selectin. The P-selectin antibodies prevent P-selectin from binding to its cognate receptor. The P-selectin antibodies can be used to treat inflammatory and thrombotic conditions, e.g., sickle cell disease, pain crisis associated with sickle cell disease, deep vein thrombosis, asthma, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, and ischemia reperfusion injury in a patient in need thereof.

  • Publication number: 20160304612
    Abstract: Antibodies are disclosed which bind specifically to P-selectin and which block the binding of PSGL-1 to P-selectin. These anti-P-selectin antibodies may also cause dissociation of preformed P-selectin/PSGL-1 complexes. The disclosure identifies a heretofore unrecognized, near N-terminal, antibody binding domain (a conformational epitope) of P-selectin to which the function-blocking antibodies (which may be chimeric, human or humanized antibodies for example) bind. Antibodies are disclosed which bind to the conformational epitope of P-selectin and which have a dual function in blocking binding of PSGL-1 to P-selectin, and in causing dissociation of preformed P-selectin/PSGL-1 complexes. Such single and dual function anti-P-selectin antibodies and binding fragments thereof may be used in the treatment of a variety of inflammatory and thrombotic disorders and conditions. Screening methods for identifying such antibodies are also disclosed.
