Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to systems and methods for injection and retraction of a fluid. The system includes a switch configured to be activated, wherein activation of the switch activates an electrical control system. The system further includes a linear actuator that interfaces with the electrical control system. The electrical control system causes the linear actuator to depress a plunger, keep the plunger depressed for a predetermined time, and retract the plunger after the predetermined time. The system further includes a fluid reservoir engageable with the plunger, wherein the depression of the plunger causes fluid to be injected from the fluid reservoir into a connector and the retraction of the plunger causes fluid to be retracted into the fluid reservoir and out of the connector.

Abstract: A cooling device for an energy store for cooling a cell group on both sides, having a first cooling unit for a first side of the cell group and a second cooling unit for an opposite second side of the cell group. The first cooling unit includes a first cooling area associated with the cell group, which is divided into a first and second sub-area in relation to a second direction, and the second cooling unit includes a second cooling area associated with the cell group, which is divided into a third and fourth sub-area in relation to the second direction. The first sub-area is opposite the third sub-area and the second sub-area is opposite the fourth sub-area, and the first and fourth sub-areas are located closer to an at least one supply port of a distributor arrangement of the cooling device than the second and third sub-areas.

Abstract: The present invention provides a combination therapy for treating a tumor in a subject. The combination comprises two elements. The first is a polypeptide construct comprising an attenuated Type 1 interferon (IFN) linked to an antibody which binds to a cell surface-associated antigen expressed on the tumour cell and comprising a functional Fc region. The second is a CD47 antagonist which inhibits the interaction CD47 with the SIRP? receptor.

Abstract: A display device includes: a substrate; a light emitting element disposed on the substrate; an encapsulation layer disposed on the light emitting element; an organic layer disposed on the encapsulation layer; a first light shielding layer disposed on the organic layer; and an inorganic layer disposed between the organic layer and the first light shielding layer, and including a first region overlapping the first light shielding layer in a plan view and a second region having a refractive index less than a refractive index of the first region.
