  • Publication number: 20240141055
    Abstract: Human antibodies immunospecific for human CD27 are capable of blocking CD27 binding to its ligand CD70 and neutralizing bioactivity of CD27 including, but not limited to, CD27 intracellular signaling, T-cell proliferation and activation, B-cell proliferation and differentiation, plasmablast formation and alleviation of antibody responses, stimulation of tumor cells by CD70, and the production of soluble mediators from T and B-cells. The antibodies are useful in diagnosing or treating CD27 activity associated diseases and conditions.

  • Publication number: 20240113974
    Abstract: Mobile management method, system and client. Method includes receiving a DNS query for a host name from an application on client; retrieving reputation data associated with host name from a local cache on client; and determining a policy based on host name and the reputation data. Based on determined policy for the host name, blocking attempted network flows to a host corresponding to host name to produce blocked attempted network flows. Method also includes sending attempted network flow metadata related to the blocked attempted network flows to a collector on client; transmitting the attempted network flow metadata from the collector to a VPN server pool via a VPN tunnel; and producing an anomaly report from the transmitted attempted network flow metadata. The anomaly report includes at least one of anomalies, cohorts, trends, location boundaries, detected network security issues, detected compromised clients and/or optimized network usage.

  • Publication number: 20240075829
    Abstract: A charge handle, according to some examples, for electrically charging an electric vehicle comprises a housing and a movable core with fluid, electrical, and data connectors that engage with a charge port on the vehicle. A drive mechanism moves the core between disengaged and engaged positions relative to the housing to extend or retract the connectors. A latching mechanism secures the housing to the vehicle when engaged and releases the handle when disengaged. The fluid connectors provide cooling fluid circulation, the electrical connectors deliver charging current, and the data connector enables communication. The sequenced engagement and disengagement of the connectors by the drive mechanism ensures safe connection under load. The latching mechanism allows self-contained engagement forces without pushing on vehicle body components.
