Abstract: The present application relates to particular anti-PAD4 (peptidyl arginine deiminase 4) antibodies, nucleic acids encoding the antibodies, vectors and host cells comprising the nucleic acids, and methods of making and using the antibodies.

Abstract: An appliance includes an external communication port, such as an RJ45 port, and a wireless communication module in wireless communication with a remote server through an external network. A controller is configured to receive, using the wireless communication module, a secure unlock command from a remote server, the secure unlock command being generated when a remote service device transmits appliance identification data to the remote server, and unlock the external communication port to permit the remote service device to access operating software through the external communication port.

Abstract: A partially flooding buoy includes a buoy body having a substantially cylindrical shape defining a cavity therein and a mooring mechanism attached to the buoy body to allow the buoy to be moored. The partially flooding buoy can be partially flooded with water after the buoy is deployed. The cavity is adapted to accommodate ballast therein. The buoy also includes at least one handle to allow more convenient handling of the buoy, wherein the handle is an opening formed within the buoy body.

Abstract: A discrete tube is provided which can be readily torn into a length of coiled insulation wrapping. The tube comprises at least two plies of a firm, foamed thermoplastic polymer web which had been set into a coiled configuration. The plies are welded together on their radially facing adjoining surfaces to form the tube, but the plies are offset and the axially facing edges of each ply are not welded together, such that the nonwelded edges form a junction line along a central portion of the radially facing edge of the adjacent ply.The tube is preferably formed by heat sealing the two plies together, while simultaneously heat setting each ply into the coiled configuration. The laminated coil resiliently maintains the desired configuration.

Abstract: An electrical joint which is capable, while carrying current, of simultaneous vertical and horizontal articulation as well as extension or retraction in the longitudinal direction comprises in combination a pair of electrical conductors for supplying electrical energy to mine equipment, each of said conductors having a square C cross section defined by a rear wall, a pair of upstanding ends formed, respectively, on opposite edges of said rear wall, and a pair of inturned lips formed, respectively, on said upstanding ends; a unitary jointing member having an I cross-section defined by first and second parallel cheeks interconnected by a central stem portion; said jointing member being mutully engaged with said conductors with said first cheek being located within said conductors, with said first cheek having a dimension, in its direction of parallelism, such that there is established an articulation space beyond opposite ends of said first cheek, and with said stem portion extending outwardly between the intur
