Abstract: A method of operating an articulatable surgical instrument. The method includes providing a rotary drive motion to a rotary drive member of a surgical end effector and converting the rotary drive motion to an upper axial motion and a lower axial motion at locations that are distal to the articulation joint. The method further includes applying the upper axial motion to an upper portion of a firing member and applying the lower axial motion to a lower portion of the firing member such that the upper axial motion and lower axial motion drives the firing member distally through the surgical end effector from a starting position to an ending position.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for persistent login. Such persistent login may be based on linking user identity across accounts of different entities to allow each entity to maintain control over their respective sets of user data, while providing a streamlined user experience that avoids much of the repetitive need to login to different services with different login credentials (e.g., during periods of heavy use). Such persistent login may utilize a set of tokens issued and exchanged between devices of the partnering entities. Such tokens may include an access token, refresh token, and identity token. When a user associated with a first entity requests access to information secured by a second entity, such request may be associated with the access token. If the access token is determined to be expired, the refresh token may be used to refresh the access token, which may also trigger issuance of a new refresh token.

Abstract: In an example implementation, a method includes receiving, at a computing device, borrower information and requested financing plan information. Likewise, a method includes outputting at least a portion of the received information to a second computing device and, after receiving an indication of a decision denying the requested financing plan, outputting at least a portion of the received information to a computing device associated with a lender and confirming, to a computing device associated with a borrower or a merchant that the information has been sent to the lender.

The housing includes a combustion section with a first channel and a second channel. The combustion heater includes heat exchanger tubes and a tube support that supports heat exchanger tubes within the combustion section. The tube support slidably disposed in the first channel and the second channel. The combustion heater configured to be slidably removable from the AHU. An AHU for an HVACR system includes a housing with a fan section and a fan assembly disposed within the housing. The fan assembly including a pair of grooves slidably disposed on a pair of rails of the housing. The fan assembly configured to be both slidably removable from the AHU and liftably removable from the AHU.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an anti-FcRn antibody or an antigen binding fragment thereof with improved stability and uses thereof. The anti-FcRn antibody or antigen binding fragment thereof binds to FcRn non-competitively with IgG and the like compared to the parent antibody, HL161AN, thereby having improved stability, such as reducing the production rate of aggregates while maintaining the biological activity of significantly reducing the amount of pathogenic autoantibodies in the blood. Therefore, it may be utilized more efficiently for the treatment of an autoimmune disease.

Abstract: Described here is a method for reducing or preventing Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilm formation in a human subject in need thereof, comprising administering to the human subject a first composition comprising (a) an antigen-binding polypeptide that binds Pf-family bacteriophage, or (b) a vaccine against Pf-family bacteriophage. Also described is an antigen-binding polypeptide that binds specifically to a CoaB protein of Pf-family bacteriophage or fragment thereof.
