  • Publication number: 20240092907
    Abstract: The present application relates to antibodies specifically binding to the V-domain immunoglobulin-containing suppressor of T-cell activation (VISTA) at acidic pH and their use in cancer treatment. In some embodiments, the antibodies bind specifically to human VISTA at acidic pH, but do not significantly bind to human VISTA at neutral or physiological pH.

  • Publication number: 20230386417
    Abstract: Often when there is a glare on a display screen the user may be able to mitigate the glare by tilting or otherwise moving the screen or changing their viewing position. However, when driving a car there are limited options for overcoming glares on the dashboard, especially when you are driving for a long distance in the same direction. Embodiments are directed to eliminating such glare. Other embodiments are related to mixed reality (MR) and filling in occluded areas.

  • Patent number: 11551389
    Abstract: Systems, apparatuses and methods may a performance-enhanced computing system comprising a sensor for measuring luminance values corresponding to light focused onto the sensor at a plurality of pixel locations, a memory including a set of instructions, and a processor. The processor executes a set of instructions causing the system to generate a multi-segment tone mapping curve, generate a set of tone mapping values corresponding to the multi-segment tone mapping curve for equally spaced input values between zero and one for storage into a look up table, and process the luminance values using the look up table to apply the tone mapping curve to the luminance values of the pixels.
