Abstract: The invention relates to antibodies such as anti-C1 s antibodies, pharmaceutical compositions comprising the same, and methods of using the same. The invention provides antibodies that comprise an antigen-binding region and an antibody constant region, have a displacement function such that the antibody binds to C1qrs complex and promotes dissociation of C1q from C1qrs complex and/or a blocking function such that the antibody binds to C1r2s2 and inhibits the binding of C1q to C1r2s2, and bind to C1s in a pH-dependent manner. The invention also provides pharmaceutical compositions comprising any one of the antibodies, and methods of treating an individual having a complement-mediated disease or disorder, or preventing an individual potentially having a complement-mediated disease or disorder, comprising administering any one of the antibodies to the individual.

Abstract: A wireless transmission device includes at least: a modulator to which the input signals of the plurality of channels are input; and a transmitter that includes a power amplifier and transmits a signal output by the modulator from the antenna. When it is necessary to increase output power of a signal associated to one input signal among the input signals of the plurality of channels and transmitted from the antenna, reserve power up to a maximum value of output power of another input signal among the input signals of the plurality of channels is checked. A control signal is supplied with the transmitter or the modulator so as to increase output power of a signal associated to the one input signal within a range of the reserve power and transmitted from the antenna.

Abstract: A modem device includes a modulation unit 12 that generates a modulated signal, a frequency conversion unit 15 that generates an intermediate frequency signal from an external input signal, and a demodulation unit 14 that demodulates the modulated or intermediate frequency signal and generates a reception signal. In a communication mode, the modulation unit 12 outputs the modulated signal to a external device 50, the frequency conversion unit 15 generates the intermediate frequency signal, and the demodulation unit 14 demodulates the intermediate frequency signal and generates the reception signal. In an adjustment mode, the modulation unit 12 outputs the modulated signal to the demodulation unit 14, and the demodulation unit 14 generates the reception signal from the modulated signal and adjusts an amplitude of the transmission signal based on the reception signal.
