Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for measuring the dimensions of storage tanks using Optical Reference Line Method calibration techniques. The system utilizes a camera mounted near the tank wall such that its optical axis defines a reference line extending parallel to the wall and a robotic vehicle for moving a target object along the surface of the tank. Specifically, the target includes a predefined measurement scale that can be imaged by the camera as it is moved along the wall. A computer implementing computer-vision algorithms analyzes images of the scale captured at respective elevations to determine the point on the scale intersected by the reference line and a corresponding offset distance between the wall and the reference line. Accordingly, the dimensions of the tank are calculated by the computer based on the offset distance calculated for respective elevations of the tank wall.

Title: Antibodies having specificity for the orf2i protein of hepatitis e virus and uses thereof for diagnostic purposes
Inventor: COCQUEREL-DEPROY LAURENCE
IPC: C07K16/10
Filed: 2019-07-09
Abstract: Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is annually responsible for 20 million infections with 3.4 million symptomatic cases and 70,000 deaths mainly occurring in less developed regions of the world. HEV is a quasi-enveloped virus containing a linear, single-stranded, positive-sense RNA genome that contains three open reading frames (ORFs), namely, ORF1, ORF2 and ORF3. ORF2 encodes the ORF2 viral capsid protein, which is involved in particle assembly, binding to host cells and eliciting neutralizing antibodies. Recently, 3 different forms of the ORF2 capsid protein were identified: infectious/intracellular ORF2 (ORF2i), glycosylated ORF2 (ORF2g), and cleaved ORF2 (ORF2c). The ORF2i protein, for which the precise sequence has been identified, is the form that is associated with infectious particles and thus antibodies having specificity for the ORF2i protein would be suitable for the diagnosis of HEV. The present fulfills this need by providing an antibody which binds to the ORF2i protein of hepatitis E virus and wherein said antibody does not bind to the ORF2g protein nor to the ORF2c of hepatitis E virus, and wherein the epitope of said antibody comprises at least one amino acid residue from amino acid residues 10 to 23 of SEQ ID NO: 1.
