  • Publication number: 20230086065
    Abstract: A portable, self-illuminating traffic sign having a sign face with two opposite sides. One side indicates a first traffic signal, and the other side indicates a second traffic signal. Light assemblies are attached to each side of the sign. The light assemblies emit light that may match the predominant color of one of the sides of the sign. A battery may be disposed in a pole that connects to the sign. A handlegrip allows for the sign to be held and provides a switch to allow for the lights to be selectively turned on and off. The light assemblies are disposed within collar assemblies so as to reduce, or prevent, light emitted from the light assemblies reflecting off of the sign faces.

  • Publication number: 20210179660
    Abstract: The present invention encompasses the recognition that reproducible and detectable changes in the level and or activity of Glucorticoid Receptor (GR) are associated with incidence and/or risk of Castration Resistant Prostrate Cancer (CRPC) and/or doubly resistant prostrate cancer, especially in individuals having prostrate cancer and on antiandrogen therapy, and provides for the use of GR inhibitors to treat and/or reduce risk of CRPC and/or doubly resistant prostrate cancer. In some embodiments, GR inhibitors also have Androgen Receptors (AR) inhibitory activity and or administered in conjunction with AR Inhibitors. The present invention also provides technologies for identification and/or characterization of agents to treat and/or reduce risk of CRPC and/or doubly resistant prostrate cancer; in some embodiments such agents alter level and/or activity of a GR. In some embodiments, provided agents show effects on a GR's activity of regulating transcription of one or more target genes.

  • Patent number: 10957733
    Abstract: A method of assembling a photodetector assembly includes depositing bumps on a read out integrated circuit (ROIC) without depositing bumps on a photodiode array (PDA). The method includes assembling the PDA and ROIC together wherein each bump electrically interconnects the ROIC with a respective contact of the PDA. A photodetector assembly includes a PDA. A ROIC is assembled to the PDA, wherein the ROIC is electrically interconnected with the PDA through a plurality of electrically conductive bumps. Each bump is confined within a respective pocket between the ROIC and a respective contact of the PDA. The disclosed methods can enable focal plane array manufacturers to achieve low-cost production of ultra-fine pitch, large format imaging arrays.
