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: Provided herein are antibodies that bind to the alpha subunit of an IL-7 receptor (IL-7R?). Also provided are uses of these antibodies in therapeutic applications, such as treatment of inflammatory diseases. Further provided are cells that produce the antibodies, polynucleotides encoding the heavy and/or light chain regions of the antibodies, and vectors comprising the polynucleotides.

Abstract: Various embodiments for the automatic detection of the presence of a protective case on an electronic device are provided herein. Generally, the electronic device includes one or more sensors; a device memory storing an application; a device processor, which upon execution of the application, is configured to: monitor, via at least one first sensor, a trigger condition for detecting the presence of the protective case; detect the trigger condition; in response to detecting the trigger condition, cause the electronic device to vibrate for a pre-determined period of time; collect, via at least one second sensor, sensor data during the pre-determined time; extract at least one feature from the sensor data; based on the extracted at least one feature, determine whether the protective case is applied to the electronic device; and generate an output indicating whether the protective case is applied to the electronic device.

Abstract: Embodiments are described herein for an electronic device, system and method for remotely detecting whether or not the electronic device has a screen protector placed over its display screen. The electronic device is placed face-down on a flat, opaque surface, such that the display screen and front camera of the electronic device are also face-down and the electronic device takes a series of photos with the camera. The series of photos is analyzed to determine whether or not the screen protector is attached to the display screen of the electronic device, which can be communicated electronically.

Abstract: Various embodiments for detecting presence of a protective case on a portable electronic device during a drop impact of the device are described herein. Generally, the method for detecting presence of a protective case on a portable electronic device during a drop impact of the device involves receiving a first indication that the portable electronic device is dropping; collecting sensor data generated from at least one sensor; receiving a second indication that the portable electronic device has experienced the drop impact; analyzing sensor data generated by the at least one sensor during a time frame between receiving the first indication and the second indication; and determining an output result based on the analyzing, wherein the output result indicates either: (i) the portable electronic device was protected by a protective case during drop impact; or (ii) the portable electronic device was not protected by a protective case during drop impact.

Abstract: Different examples for a server and methods for providing actionable insights based on warranty analytics related to usage of a protective apparatus with an electronic device by a customer are described herein. In some cases, the method comprises: receiving an electronic query, at a server, from a user device; accessing, at the server, at least one of risk profile data and test data from a multidimensional data structure, where the at least one risk profile data and test data include data needed to respond to the electronic query; determining, at the server, a response to the electronic query using the accessed data; an sending an electronic message from the server to the user device, the electronic message including data for answering the electronic query.

Abstract: An automated system for making an offer over a distributed data network comprises a first processor and a second processor in communication over the distributed data network. The first processor receives purchase information related to a purchase being made by a consumer. There is an offer engine on the second processor. The offer engine associates the goods and services available for purchase by the consumer with a warranty and additional goods and services.

Abstract: A self check out system comprises a hardware device for inputting purchase information and a means for payment and confirmation of the payment prior to exiting the store. A network permits communication between the hardware device and a server and deactivation of an existing security system which may include a tag device on the purchased good. The server stores the purchase information and the copy of the related receipt.

Abstract: An automated sell system comprises a hardware device for inputting product information onto a server. A network allows a user to access the product information together with a means for generating a coded file of the product information for use as an advertisement on a website. Preferably the advertisement is presented in accordance with appropriate marketing practices. In one embodiment, the means for generating the coded file is run by a single command.

Abstract: A warranty management system comprises a hardware device for inputting warranty information and a copy of a receipt. A network permits communication between the hardware device and a server. The server stores the warranty information and the copy of the receipt. The warranty management system also includes a means for verifying the authenticity of the warranty information and the related receipt. Some embodiments of the warranty management system may further include a means for comparing the failure rates of products and services.
