Abstract: SINGLE-CHAIN TNF RECEPTOR 2 AGONIST FUSION PROTEINS 
ABSTRACT 
This invention provides for a fusion protein between a single chain TNFR2 Selective Agonist protein 
(scTNFR2 Selective Agonist) and a dimerization domain, such as an IgGFc protein. The single chain 
TNFR2 Selective Agonist moiety provides a therapeutic activity by selectively activating the TNFR2 
form of the TNF-a receptor, thus selectively stimulating Tregs and/or increasing mylin deposition.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method and apparatus for converting the terminal voltage of a battery so that one or more operations (such as shut-down, save-to-disk, and the like) begin at the appropriate point on the discharge curve for various cell chemistries. A control circuit is provided for triggering end-of-discharge operations based on various predetermined points, such as remaining capacity, voltage, temperature, and safety for devices which utilize a predetermined terminal voltage measurement to trigger one or more operations. The control circuit modulates the terminal voltage of the battery to a value which substantially matches the predetermined terminal voltage threshold of the device upon reaching a predetermined point, thereby successfully triggering operations at the appropriate time. The control circuitry also can modulate the terminal voltage to maintain it above the threshold to delay triggering of one or more operations. The method and apparatus of the present invention provides a solution in the electronic circuitry of the battery to allow devices designed for use with cells of a certain chemistry be able to suspend operations without losing data or delay operations to avoid wasting battery capacity when used with cell chemistries different than those for which the devices were designed.

Abstract: The invention relates to a novel book cover which is used together with the known firm bindings, that is U-shaped steel bars. According to the invention, a flexible support material is arranged in two layers and in parallel to the flanks of a U-shaped bar. The layers of the book cover that are in parallel to the flanks are intimately glued together except for a flexible connection of two layers, that is either the support material is flexibly arranged in relation to its two layers or-as shown in FIG. 1-the inner surface of the flank is flexibly arranged in relation to the layer. The resin layer usually fixes the leaves, the resin layer being applied on the transversal insert of the support material. The transversal insert rests against the base of the U-shaped bar, that is it is not firmly linked with it, when the book is closed. When the book is opened, the bound leaves are vertically moved, thereby allowing the leaves to be turned so that they lie flat.
