  • Publication number: 20230287117
    Abstract: The invention provides antibody heavy chain constant regions with a hinge region modified to reduce binding to Fcy receptors. The modification occurs within positions 233-236 by replacement of natural residues by glycine(s) and/or deletion(s). Such modifications can reduce binding of an antibody bearing such a constant region to Fcy receptors to background levels. The constant regions can be incorporated into any format of antibody or Fc fusion protein. Such antibodies or fusion proteins can be used in methods of treatment, particularly those in which the mechanisms of action of the antibody or Fc fusion protein is not primarily or at all dependent on effector functions, as is the case when an antibody inhibits a receptor-ligand interaction or agonizes a receptor.

  • Publication number: 20230292038
    Abstract: The present invention provides a multifunctional sounding device including a housing, a first vibration system, a second vibration system, a magnetic circuit system, an elastic component and a flexible circuit board. The elastic component includes a deformation part fixed to the second vibration system and an installation part extended from both ends of the deformation part and fixed to the housing. The second vibration system is suspended in the containment cavity through the elastic component. The flexible circuit board is connected with the elastic component, so that the vibration of the flexible circuit board is coupled with the vibration of the elastic component. Therefore, the damping of the elastic component is reduced, the force received by the elastic component during vibration is reduced, and the service life of the elastic component is extended.

  • Patent number: 11744804
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a microcapsule powder stable in gastric acid, a method for preparing the same and use thereof. The microcapsule powder comprises a core material and a capsule material coated outside the core material, wherein the capsule material has a melting point of greater than 42° C., and the capsule material does not decompose or dissolve under the action of protease and gastric acid, but decomposes under the action of intestinal digestive enzymes. The core material is coated with the capsule material in the microcapsule powder, thus achieving high-efficiency coating of the core material by a single component. The microcapsule powder achieves conventional intragastric stability as well as favorable stability in an open environment at room temperature, thus solving the problem that the conventional embedding solution may only achieve intragastric stability, but the stability in an open environment at room temperature is low.
