Patents by Inventor Thomas Wuest

Thomas Wuest has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 9944708
    Abstract: Subject matter of the invention are antibody-cytokine fusion proteins having proapoptotic and immune modulating properties, but wherein the cytokine moiety a priori has a bioactivity which is very low or restricted to certain receptor subtypes. These reagent exert their full biological activity via the corresponding cytokine receptor(s) only after antibody-mediated binding of the fusion protein to a specific cell membrane-expressed target molecule. By suitable choice of the antibody specificity, the cytokine activity is directed to the tissue, e.g. tumour tissue, to be treated, and a therapeutic agent can be produced being specifically designed/optimised for the respective indication/tumour entity.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9617116
    Abstract: An elevator installation includes an elevator cage with a support construction carrying the elevator cage, wherein the support construction has two beams. Mounted on each beam is a positioning arrangement on which a sensor is positioned, which is part of a load measuring device, wherein the positioning arrangements have material structures. The sensors detect a change in spacing of the material structures from one another, wherein this change in spacing is caused by a change in loading of the elevator cage. Signals of the sensors are processed in an evaluating unit and a signal representing the loading is used in an elevator control.

  • Patent number: 9340394
    Abstract: A connecting element connects a first wall panel with a second wall panel. A first spring element is supported on the upper part of the connecting element and on one side of a first bend. A second spring element is supported on the upper part and on one side of a second bend. The other side of the second bend presses on one side of the first bend. The connecting element is introduced without a tool into a first slot of the first bend and the second bend is placed at a second slot over the connecting element.

  • Patent number: 9187292
    Abstract: A support frame has at one or more lower cage corners a respective support, at which at least one damping element is arranged. The support has a U-shaped cross-section and can be inserted into a beam with C-shaped cross-section. The elevator cage is mounted on the damping elements, which can keep oscillations and vibrations away from the elevator cage. Near the inserted support, a device can be provided for raising the elevator cage if the support or at least one damping element has to be replaced.

  • Publication number: 20150152186
    Abstract: Subject matter of the invention are antibody-cytokine fusion proteins having proapoptotic and immune modulating properties, but wherein the cytokine moiety a priori has a bioactivity which is very low or restricted to certain receptor subtypes. These reagent exert their full biological activity via the corresponding cytokine receptor(s) only after antibody-mediated binding of the fusion protein to a specific cell membrane-expressed target molecule. By suitable choice of the antibody specificity, the cytokine activity is directed to the tissue, e.g. tumour tissue, to be treated, and a therapeutic agent can be produced being specifically designed/optimised for the respective indication/tumour entity.
