  • Patent number: 12365873
    Abstract: Provided herein are improved methods for transducing immune cells, such as T cells, with retroviral vectors to express exogenous gene products, such as chimeric antigen receptors (CARs). Provided herein are methods that increase transduction efficiency thereby increasing the percentage of immune cells in a population expressing the exogenous gene product. Associated cells, cell populations, compositions and methods of use are also provided.

  • Patent number: 11505358
    Abstract: The present invention has particular applicability for packaging products and relates to an anti-theft box with a lock mechanism that includes an inner box, with an opening at the first end, a cover plate at the second end and a limiter on the outer wall, and the first end is opposite to the second end; and an outer box. The outer box forms a space, the inner box is installed in this space, the cover plate is outside this space, a locating part is installed on the inner wall of the outer box, and the limiter and the locating part are used in combination to prevent the inner box from being separated from the outer box. The advantage of the present invention is that the safety device in the anti-theft box must be opened to open the anti-theft box to confirm whether the box has been opened.

  • Publication number: 20220114655
    Abstract: The disclosed computer-implemented method may include creating a digital transportation pass that allows transportation requestor devices to request transportation via the digital transportation pass within a multi-modal transportation ecosystem. The method may further include receiving a transportation request from a transportation requestor device. The method may also include determining that the transportation request satisfies one or more redemption criteria for redeeming the digital transportation pass, and then fulfilling the transportation request in response to determining that the transportation request satisfies the redemption criteria. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 10958019
    Abstract: A smart electrical plug supports one or more electrical outlets and one or more universal serial bus (USB) outlets for charging electrical devices. Electrical power consumed through the one or more electrical outlets may be measured individually or in combination and reported via a wireless communication channel. The smart electrical plug may be implemented by a plurality of printed circuit board assemblies and distributed within a housing to reduce the effects of heat dissipation. The smart electrical plug may further reduce heat dissipation by utilizing one or more electrical circuit approaches.

    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a sophorolipid composition that can be used for inducing protein expression in a fermentation host. The sophorolipid composition described herein can be prepared from a natural sophorolipid mixture. Acid treatment of the natural sophorolipid mixture results in a mixture of monoacetylated, deacetylated, and/or diacetylated sophorolipids. The chemically modified sophorolipid composition, or isolated components of the chemically modified sophorolipid composition, can be used as inducers for protein production in filamentous fungi.
