  • Publication number: 20160161951
    Abstract: A method for determining a fluid composition parameter, e.g., a fluid identifier, a mixing ratio or a parameter describing heat transfer properties, of an unknown fluid in a mass flow controller is disclosed. A control valve of the mass flow controller is set so as to establish a constant flow, preferably zero flow, through the mass flow controller. A heating element of the flow sensor is heated, and at least one temperature value is measured with temperature sensors arranged on both sides of the heater while the fluid contacts the flow sensor. First calibration data (LUT1) are retrieved. The first calibration data have, as input values, temperature values measured with the flow sensor at the previously established constant flow and have, as output values, values of the fluid composition parameter. The first calibration data are used to determine the fluid composition parameter from the measured temperature value.

  • Publication number: 20160039928
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to antibodies and proteins comprising an antigen-binding portion thereof that specifically bind to the pro-inflammatory cytokine IL-17 A. The disclosure more specifically relates to specific antibodies and proteins that are IL-17 A antagonists (inhibit the activities of IL-17 A and IL-17 AF) and are capable of inhibiting IL-17 A induced cytokine production in in vitro assays, and having an inhibitory effect in an antigen-induced arthritis model in vivo. The disclosure further relates to compositions and methods of use for said antibodies and proteins to treat pathological disorders that can be treated by inhibiting IL-17A or IL 17AF mediated activity, such as rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), lupus nephritis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma or cystic fibrosis or other autoimmune and inflammatory disorders.

  • Patent number: 9238504
    Abstract: The present invention concerns a cargo hold floor for a cargo hold of an aircraft. The cargo hold floor comprises a multiplicity of panels (110a, 110b) to form the cargo hold floor, wherein the panels have rail segments to form rails extending over several profile panels (120-130, 120?-129?) and arranged in a longitudinal direction of the aircraft. The rail segments comprise full seat rail segments (150, 150b) and partial seat rail segments (155a, 155b, 155b, 155b) for fixing of freight loading components. Such full seat rail segments and partial seat rail segments can be used advantageously to anchor freight items to the cargo hold floor or to fasten function elements there.
