  • Publication number: 20240043522
    Abstract: The present invention provides molecules comprising a modified Fc region which do not mediate antibody effector functions such as antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) but maintain a long serum half-life due to binding to the neonetal Fc receptor (FcRn). To this end, the molecules of the present invention do not comprise the disulfide bridges of the antibody hinge region but are linked C-terminally by at least two covalent bonds. Furthermore, the molecules of the present invention comprise CH2 domains with an additional disulfide bond.

  • Publication number: 20230406141
    Abstract: A vehicle detection system for monitoring stationary and moving vehicles is disclosed. The vehicle detection system includes a housing and a first sensor and a second sensor each configured to detect the moving vehicles. A control unit, and a first energy store as well as a second energy store configured to supply the vehicle detection system with electrical energy independently of one another are also provided. The control unit is designed in such a way that the first sensor is permanently switched on during operation of the vehicle detection system and the second sensor is only switched on for a predetermined time when the first sensor has detected a vehicle. The control unit is designed in such a way that, when the voltage of the first energy store falls below a first predetermined voltage, the vehicle detection system is supplied with electrical energy by the second energy store.

  • Patent number: 11750641
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide techniques, systems, and methods for remote, agent-less enterprise computer threat data collection, malicious threat analysis, and identification and reporting of potential and real threats present on an enterprise computer system. Specifically, embodiments are directed to a system that securely identifies and maps sensitive information from computers across the enterprise. Secure and sensitive information may be internally encrypted and analyzed for indicators of compromise, threatening behavior, and known vulnerabilities. The remote, agent-less collection, analysis, and identification process can be repeated periodically to detect and map additional sensitive information over time, and may delete itself after completion to avoid detection.
