Abstract: The present invention relates to peptides, proteins, nucleic acids and cells for use in immunotherapeutic methods. In particular, the present invention relates to the immunotherapy of cancer. The present invention furthermore relates to tumor- associated T-cell peptide epitopes, alone or in combination with other tumor-associated peptides that can for example serve as active pharmaceutical ingredients of vaccine compositions that stimulate anti-tumor immune responses, or to stimulate T cells ex vivo and transfer into patients. Peptides bound to molecules of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC), or peptides as such, can also be targets of antibodies, soluble T-cell receptors, and other binding molecules.
Patent CA-2981505-A1 (CA)
Inventor: ALLEN JEFFREY K
IPC: G01N30/80
Filed: 2016-04-05
Abstract: This invention concerns patentable devices configured to capture cancer stem cells and cell clusters. After capturing such cells and/or clusters, the cancerous cells are subjected to whole genome sequencing. The resulting genomic sequence information is then compared to that for "normal" or non-diseased tissue (obtained, for example, from either the same patient, or a population sample, etc.) in order to identify the specific genetic mutation(s) present in the CSCs. Further analysis then correlates the genetic mutations with cell growth signaling pathways typically found with tumor metastases. Armed with this information, an oncologist can then develop a specifically targeted therapy that utilizes approved drugs or drug candidates undergoing clinical testing to address the identified driver mutations and thus effect a "targeted" therapy tailored to the particular patient's disease.

Patent CA-2984610-A1 (CA)
Inventor: JACKSON TRENTON F
IPC: F15B15/24
Filed: 2016-05-02
Abstract: A piston actuator includes a transfer assembly and an actuator assembly. The actuator assembly has a cylinder assembly with a side wall and an end wall and defines a cavity. A piston assembly is disposed within the cavity and a screw guide assembly is secured to the end wall of the cylinder assembly such that the screw guide assembly is adjustable to limit the travel of the piston assembly. The piston actuator can also have an adjustable travel stop that eliminates a possible concern of overloading the travel stop threads. The load encountered by the travel stop when contacted by the piston is distributed through the cylinder by a screw guide positioned in the top of the cylinder and made of steel or other material that has a greater strength and/or hardness than the material of the cylinder. This allows namely a higher strength material to be used.

IPC: B64D41/00
Filed: 2018-07-16
Abstract: A method of operating a compoundable engine that includes a turbine having a turbine shaft and an intermittent internal combustion engine having an engine shaft. The engine shaft is rotated at a first rotational speed. The turbine is driven by exhaust gases of the intermittent internal combustion engine to rotate the turbine shaft while the engine shaft rotates independently from the turbine shaft. A rotatable load is driven with the turbine shaft. A rotational speed of the engine shaft is increased from the first rotational speed until the turbine shaft reaches a predetermined rotational speed. After the turbine shaft has reached the predetermined rotational speed, the rotational speed of the engine shaft is adjusted until the turbine shaft and the engine shaft are drivingly engageable with each other, and the turbine shaft with the engine shaft are engaged such that both are in driving engagement with the rotatable load.
