Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a semiconductor body having opposite first and second surfaces, a gate region, and an active region arranged adjacent to the gate region in a horizontal direction. A first emitter, a first base, and a second base are arranged consecutively between the second and first surfaces in a vertical direction. A front-facing emitter is arranged in the active region and extends in the vertical direction from the first surface to the second base. Short-circuit regions extend from the first surface through the front-facing emitter to the second base. The active region has, in the horizontal direction, a first edge region adjacent to the gate region, a failure region adjacent to the first edge region, and a second edge region adjacent to the failure region. An average density of the short-circuit regions in the failure region is lower than in both edge regions.

Abstract: The present invention provides binding molecules (e.g., antibodies or antigen binding fragments thereof) that specifically bind to and inhibit the biological activity of IL-6 (e.g., human, mouse and non-human primate IL-6). In a preferred embodiment, the antibodies or antigen binding fragments of the invention bind to IL-6 and inhibit its binding to an IL-6 receptor. Such antibodies or antigen binding fragments are particularly useful for treating IL-6-associated diseases or disorders (e.g., inflammatory disease and cancer).

Abstract: A method, in a server, for exchanging cryptographic keys for quantum-secure communication between the server and a client. The method includes: receiving a request message for a secure communication channel from a client, including at least one quantum-secure public ephemeral key and a first secret text; decapsulating the first secret text with a decapsulation function using a quantum-secure secret static key of the server, including generating a first secret; encapsulating the quantum-secure public ephemeral key with an encapsulation function including generating a second secret text and a second shared secret; encapsulating a quantum-secure public static key of the client using the encapsulation function, including generating a third secret text and a third shared secret; generating symmetric keys using at least the first, second, and third secrets; and sending a response message to the client, including the second and third secret texts.

Abstract: A pod has an inner volume in which beverage ingredients are stored and in which a beverage is produced when water is introduced inside. The pod includes a body where water is introduced and a closing lid where the beverage is dispensed. The pod is made of a biodegradable material. The body has a three-dimensional shape. The body can be made of a multilayer material including a paper layer and a plastic sealing layer with a tensile value at break preferably between 2% and 20%. The body also can be made of a monolayer material consisting of plastic with a tensile value at break in the range between 2% and 1000%. The closing lid is flat and made of a material having a puncture resistance value between 3 N/15 mm and 10 N/15 mm for an elongation between 1.5 mm and 3 mm.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for producing an antibody molecule having inter-species, intra-target cross-reactivity. The method comprises the steps of creating a first immune library for a target antigen from a first species, for example man; combining variable regions from the first immune library in a chain shuffling protocol, to produce a second immune library; and screening the second immune library for affinity to both the target antigen and a corresponding antigen from a second species. The second species is different from the first species. By using a suitable test animal as the second species, the method paves the way to convenient testing of the antibody molecule.
