Patent JP-2000507810-A (JP)
IPC: A61P7/04
Filed: 1997-02-10
Abstract: Human antibodies, preferably recombinant human antibodies, that specifically bind to human tumor necrosis factor α (hTNFα) are disclosed. These antibodies have high affinity for hTNFα (e.g., Kd=10−8 M or less), a slow off rate for hTNFα dissociation (e.g., Koff=10−3 sec−1 or less) and neutralize hTNFα activity in vitro and in vivo. An antibody of the invention can be a full-length antibody or an antigen-binding portion thereof. The antibodies, or antibody portions, of the invention are useful for detecting hTNFα and for inhibiting hTNFα activity, e.g., in a human subject suffering from a disorder in which hTNFα activity is detrimental. Nucleic acids, vectors and host cells for expressing the recombinant human antibodies of the invention, and methods of synthesizing the recombinant human antibodies, are also encompassed by the invention.

Title: Temperature matched retardation layer for active cells in liquid crystalline displays
Inventor: DE WIT PAULUS PIETER
IPC: C08G65/22
Filed: 1996-12-16
Abstract: The invention is directed to a liquid crystalline display comprising a display cell containing liquid crystalline material and a retardation layer. The retardation layer comprises a, preferably slightly cross-linked, high-molecular weight material layer and a substrate, wherein the high-molecular weight material has a nematic phase above its Tg and a dynamic viscosity at the working temperature of at least 100 Pa.s. The difference of the Tc of the high-molecular weight material and the Tc of the low-molecular weight material of the display cell (TCcell) is in the range of -30 DEG  C. to +30 DEG  C., preferably in the range of -20 DEG  C. to +20 DEG  C., and more preferably in the range of -10 DEG  C. to +10 DEG  C.; and the Tg of the high-molecular weight liquid crystalline material is lower than 50 DEG  C. It was found that if high-molecular weight material is used with a Tc comparable with that of the, preferably low-molecular weight, liquid crystalline material of the active cell, the temperature dependency of the retardation value of the retardation layer is comparable with that of the active cell. Thus, the retardation value of the retardation layer is comparable with that of the active cell within the temperature range in which displays are used. It was further found that by cross-linking of the high molecular weight liquid crystalline material, the retardation layers according to the invention become less susceptible to pinhole forming and unwanted variation of the twist, and have improved mechanical stability.
