  • Publication number: 20250049904
    Abstract: The present application is directed to immunomodulatory compositions comprising invariant NKT cell (iNKT cell) agonist compounds that induce expansion of tissue resident memory T-cells (Trm Cells) in combination with an immune stimulator agent that enhances an immune response to a target antigen or a polynucleotide encoding the immune stimulator. The iNKT agonists are ?-GalCer analogue compounds modified at the 6 position of the galactose ring. The immune stimulator is an antigen or an mRNA encoding an antigen to create a vaccine formulation. These combinations are used in the treatment of infection or cancer in a subject, or to enrich the number of Trm cells in the liver of a subject.

  • Patent number: 9783378
    Abstract: The present loading dock rainshield has a self-adjusting, weighted canopy seal with a header projecting from the building to support a flexible, dual fixed-end, downwardly looped, central curtain. The central curtain spans the dominant width of the header and loops from front to back. The center curtain joins with opposed pleated side curtains to compete the front seal. The downwardly looped central curtain has a series of staggered and overlapping weighted baffles proximal its front end. When a trailer backs into the dock, the trailer top engages one or more baffles, which ride up onto the top of the trailer. The elongated weighted baffles push rainwater off the trailer top as it backs into the bay, and remain in forced sealing engagement with the trailer top when it is parked to divert water off the trailer top and prevent the water from flowing or blowing into the bay.

  • Patent number: 9758615
    Abstract: Elastomers are prepared from a reaction mixture that contains a polyene compound, an epoxy resin, a thiol curing agent and a basic catalyst. The polyene compound has an average of at least two groups containing aliphatic carbon-carbon double bonds capable of reaction with a thiol group. At least one of said aliphatic carbon-carbon double bonds is separated from each other said aliphatic carbon-carbon double bond by an aliphatic spacer group having a weight of at least 500 atomic mass units. These elastomers are typically phase-separated materials having good elongation and tensile properties.
