Abstract: The invention provides antibodies, and antigen-binding fragments thereof, that specifically bind to CXCR5. The antibodies can be afucosylated and exhibit increased ADCC compared with the otherwise identical fucosylated antibodies. The invention includes uses, and associated methods of using the antibodies.

Abstract: Glass is produced in a glassmelting furnace by combusting fuel and oxidant having an oxygen content greater than 80 vol. % oxygen in a melting zone to form molten glass, wherein the surface of the molten glass is exposed to the gaseous atmosphere in the melting zone and the water vapor content of the atmosphere at the surface of the molten glass is greater than 35 vol. %, and oxidant having an oxygen content greater than 80 vol. % is injected into the refining zone of the furnace under conditions to minimize mixing of said oxidant with gases above said oxidant and sweep water vapor at the surface of the molten glass into the melting zone to lower the water vapor content of the atmosphere at the surface of the molten glass.

Abstract: A nozzle assembly, a burner and a method for producing a wide combustion flame are provided. The burner has a plurality of refractory nozzles, each having a minimum wall thickness of from about 0.25 to about 0.33 of the minimum nozzle dimension. Each nozzle has a plurality of orifices to enable the gas to be projected in a parallel plane with the gas projected in a plane from the other nozzle.

Abstract: A nozzle which includes a nozzle body, a central tube contained within the nozzle body for a flow of gas at a temperature less than the temperature of the nozzle body, and an annular passage, located between the nozzle body and central tube, for a flow of gas at a velocity less than the flow of gas in the central tube and less than about 100 ft/sec. enabling the nozzle to operate at elevated temperatures and avoid condensation thereon of vapors from the surrounding gas environment.

Abstract: A furnace having a molten material holding tank with sidewall and a tuckstone or other structure above the sidewall upper end leaving a gap, or joint, therebetween. A deflector, or diverter, is provided at the upper end of the sidewall to deflect cooling air directed on the tank sidewall away from the joint and to create a pressure differential between the interior and exterior of the tank thereby reducing air infiltration into the tank through the joint.

Abstract: A method for operating a furnace comprising generating NOx at a first NOx generation rate by combustion at a distance from the flue of the furnace and generating NOx at a second NOx generation rate, which is less than the first NOx generation rate, by combustion closer to the flue, and thereafter passing the NOx through the interior of the furnace to and through the flue while both the NOx generated by the first rate and the NOx generated by the second rate dynamically progress toward equilibrium.

Abstract: Pressure relief channels are provided at the neck of beverage bottles of the type having roll-on (twist-off) closures to release gas pressure within the closure promptly as the closure is turned to remove it and before missiling of the closure can occur.
