Publication number: 20240159942Abstract: A microlens array includes a bottom electrode chip, a sidewall electrode chip, and a top glass chip configured to cooperate to define an array of cavities, each one of the array of cavities containing a fluid. The fluid is a mixture of a polar liquid and a non-polar liquid, in contact with one of the array of sidewalls at a contact angle. The bottom electrode chip includes a plurality of electrical contacts. The sidewall electrode chip includes an array of sidewalls, each including an electrode layer and an insulator layer. When a voltage is applied across the fluid contained a cavity via electrical contacts and the electrode layer of the cavity, the contact angle of the fluid with the sidewall is modified, in embodiments without affecting the contact angle of fluid contained in other ones of the plurality of array of cavities.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 13, 2023Publication date: May 16, 2024Applicant: The Regents of the University of Colorado, a body corporateInventors: Juliet T. Gopinath, Samuel D. Gilinsky, Mo Zohrabi, Victor M. Bright, Omkar D. Supekar, Wei Yang Lim

Patent number: 11969500Abstract: The present technology relates to depots for the treatment of postoperative pain via sustained, controlled release of a therapeutic agent. In some embodiments, the depot may comprise a therapeutic region comprising an analgesic, and a control region comprising a bioresorbable polymer and a releasing agent mixed with the polymer. The releasing agent may be configured to dissolve when the depot is placed in vivo to form diffusion openings in the control region. The depot may be configured to be implanted at a treatment site in vivo and, while implanted, release the therapeutic agent at the treatment site for no less than 3 days.Type: GrantFiled: November 10, 2021Date of Patent: April 30, 2024Assignee: Foundry Therapeutics, Inc.Inventors: Karun D. Naga, Hanson S. Gifford, III, Stephen W. Boyd, Patrick H. Ruane, Jackie Joe Hancock, Michael Feldstein, Koon Kiat Teu, Honglei Wang, Jingnan Luo, Daniel Boon Lim Seet

Publication number: 20240105210Abstract: A method and system are provided to facilitate statement acquisition and verification pertaining to an incident. One or more processors are operationally coupled to one or more software modules, configured to: receive audio data between a suspect and an officer at a portable radio, detect a pre-Miranda statement made by the suspect within the audio data; detect a Miranda warning made by the officer within the audio data; detect a waiving of Miranda rights by the suspect within the audio data; detect a post-Miranda statement by the suspect within the audio data after the waiving of Miranda rights; determine when a degree of semantic similarity between the pre-Miranda statement and the post-Miranda statement fails to satisfy an admissibility condition; generate one or more questions to induce the suspect to repeat the pre-Miranda statement; and present the one or more questions to an electronic user interface.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 28, 2022Publication date: March 28, 2024Inventors: BING QIN LIM, STEVEN D TINE, CHRISTIAN IBARRA, UVARAJAN MOORTHY

Publication number: 20220061825Abstract: A monitoring system includes a light source, a light detector, a processor, and a non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the monitoring system to perform functions. The functions include illuminating, via the light source, a biological sample that is within a container while a fixation process is performed on the biological sample. The functions also include determining, via the light detector, that an optical transmittance of the biological sample satisfies a condition. The functions also include ceasing the fixation process in response to determining that the optical transmittance of the biological sample satisfies the condition.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 12, 2021Publication date: March 3, 2022Inventors: Eric J. Seibel, Saniel D. Lim, Mark E. Fauver
