Abstract: The invention relates generally to antibodies that bind CD166, activatable antibodies that specifically bind to CD166 and methods of making and using these anti-CD166 antibodies and anti-CD166 activatable antibodies in a variety of therapeutic, diagnostic and prophylactic indications.

Abstract: An arrangement for cutting an optical fibre comprises a fibre cutter for cutting the fibre. A motor is provided to operate the cutter. To start a cutting movement, the motor is controlled by a control unit in response to a start signal. The start signal is generated when the fibre is located in the cutter. A detector is connected to the control unit to detect when the fibre snaps off and in response thereto cause the control unit to generate a stop signal to stop the cutting movement. If no fibre snap off is detected, the cutting movement is automatically stopped at a predetermined position of the cutter.

Abstract: An apparatus for measuring output light intensity from laser chips mounted on respective carriers on a fixture, comprises a control unit for moving the fixture to in turn bring the chips to a measurement station, and a TV camera and a NIR camera both connected to a vision system for determining x and y coordinates of objects viewed by the TV camera and the NIR camera, respectively. The control unit is adapted to move the fixture to bring the respective chip in front of the TV camera to determine the coordinates of the chip on the fixture, move the fixture in response to the coordinates of the chip on the fixture to bring the chip in front of the NIR camera to determine the coordinates of a point of maximum light intensity from the ignited chip, and move the fixture in response to the coordinates of the point of maximum light intensity to bring the chip to the measurement station.

Abstract: An arrangement for cutting an optical fiber (1) comprises a fiber cutter (2, 3) for cutting the fiber. A motor (5) is provided to operate the cutter (2, 3). To start a cutting movement, the motor (5) is controlled by a control unit (10) in response to a start signal. The start signal is generated when the fiber (1) is located in the cutter (2, 3). A detector (12) is connected to the control unit to detect when the fiber (1) snaps off and in response hereto cause the control unit (10) to generate a stop signal to stop the cutting movement. If no fiber snap off is detected, the cutting movement is automatically stopped at a predetermined position of the cutter (2, 3).
