  • Publication number: 20240345083
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods for obtaining antibody-producing cells that express antibody molecules exhibiting high binding affinity for an antigen which comprise contacting a population of antibody-producing cells encompassing cells that express antibody molecules to the antigen on the cell surface, with a first labeled form of the antigen to allow the antigen to bind to the antibody molecules on the cell surface, followed by contacting the cells with (i) an unlabeled form of the antigen, (ii) a second labeled form of the antigen, or (iii) the unlabeled form of the antigen and the second labeled form of the antigen; and collecting cells that remain bound to the first labeled form of the antigen, thereby obtaining cells expressing high affinity antibody molecules to the antigen. The present methods allow for obtaining cells expressing high affinity antibody molecules from a pool of antibody-producing cells that express antibody molecules with different affinities.

  • Publication number: 20180239449
    Abstract: An active stylus that is applicable to a touch panel. The touch panel comprises driving electrodes and sensing electrodes. Each driving electrode transmits a panel driving signal. The sensing electrodes receive the panel driving signal. The active stylus comprises a receiving element receiving the panel driving signal; a sensing module obtaining signal characteristics of the panel driving signal; a signal generator generating a simulated driving signal; a driving element transmitting the simulated driving signal; and a control unit. The control unit uses the signal generator to generate the simulated driving signal, which is synchronous with and identical in phase to the panel driving signal, according to the signal characteristics of the panel driving signal. Thereby, the touch panel can distinguish the touch of an active stylus from the touch of a hand and realize a multi-point touch control function in a mutual-capacitance mode.

  • Patent number: 9465478
    Abstract: A projected capacitive touch panel comprises a touch control integrated circuit, sensing electrodes, driving electrodes, a MCU, a AC signal generator, a sensing bus, and a driving bus. The driving electrodes are made of high resistance material. One driving electrodes is selected by MCU based on firmware program as selected driving electrode. A low voltage AC signal is generated by the AC signal generator. The AC signal is transmitted to the selected driving electrode and its adjacent two driving electrodes via the driving bus. The rest of driving electrodes are connected to a fixed DC level. Providing the same AC signal to three driving electrodes simultaneously can induce higher sensing signal in the sensing electrodes.

  • Publication number: 20110002103
    Abstract: An interlocking structure is arranged on two separable heat dissipating plates that together form a memory heat sink, and includes two elongated flanges, at least two locating tabs, at least one catch tab, at least one expanded head portion, at least one retaining slot in a number corresponding to the expanded head portion, and at least one stopper. Two sets of the interlocking structure are diagonally symmetrically provided near two opposite ends of the two heat dissipating plates. Once the expanded head portions have been extended through the retaining slots and the two heat dissipating plates are outward turned relative to each other, the locating tabs and the expanded head portions will firmly hook to the stoppers and the catch tabs, respectively, without the risk of separating from the retaining slots due to turning open or close, vibrating, or impacting of the two heat dissipating plates.
