Abstract: Concentrated, low-viscosity, low-volume liquid pharmaceutical formulations of proteins have been developed. Such formulations can be rapidly and conveniently administered by subcutaneous or intramuscular injection, rather than by lengthy intravenous infusion. These formulations include low-molecular-weight and/or high-molecular-weight proteins, such as mAbs, and viscosity-lowering agents that are typically bulky polar organic compounds, such as many of the GRAS (US Food and Drug Administration List of compounds generally regarded as safe) and inactive injectable ingredients and FDA approved therapeutics.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for improving a mobile robot that is configured to perform a task in an environment using an operating procedure. Data is received that was recorded by the mobile robot using one or more sensors as the mobile robot navigates the environment to perform the task. A database and/or a model associated with the environment is updated to incorporate the recorded data. The operating procedure of the mobile robot can be modified, based on the database and/or the model, to generate a modified operating procedure for performing the task in the environment that improves a performance of the mobile robot. Additionally, a recommendation for improving the performance of the mobile robot when performing the task in the environment can be determined, based on the database and/or the model, and displayed to a user for consideration.

Abstract: A wireless device (12, 50) obtains a window of time for bundling of a set of uplink transmissions (20) on a carrier or bandwidth part. The wireless device determines whether or not to apply a timing advance adjustment (16) within the window of time. The timing advance adjustment comprises an adjustment to a transmission timing of an uplink transmission on the carrier or bandwidth part. The wireless device transmits the uplink transmission on the carrier or bandwidth part during the window of time using a transmission timing which is in accordance with the determining. The determining is based on whether the timing advance adjustment is indicated by a received timing advance command (18) or whether the timing advance adjustment is due to a detected error in downlink timing.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed herein for uplink power control for Transport Block (TB) over Multiple Slots (TBoMS). In one embodiment, a method performed by a wireless communication device comprises determining transmit power for a TBoMS uplink transmission per TBoMS transmission occasion and transmitting the TBoMS uplink transmission. In this manner, power control for TBoMS is provided.

Abstract: A one-time programmable (OTP) fuse includes a trench isolation; a gate metal layer over the trench isolation; and a PN junction over the gate metal layer. More particularly, the OTP fuse may include a first terminal including a highly doped n-type polysilicon layer over the trench isolation, and a second terminal including a highly doped p-type polysilicon layer over the trench isolation. The highly doped n-type polysilicon layer contacts the highly doped p-type polysilicon layer, creating a PN junction and a fuse link defined in a portion of the gate metal layer between the trench isolation and the PN junction. The gate metal layer has a uniform thickness that allows better dimension control of the fuse link to reduce fuse programming current variability.

Abstract: A heater coupon is disclosed having a ceramic block with a first surface and a second surface, at least one heater trace formed within the ceramic block and a connector for electrically connecting the at least one heater trace to a PCB (printed circuit board). The connector may connect at one end to the heater coupon and at the other end to the PCB. The connector may provide a direct connection between the heater coupon and the PCB. The connector may include a first connecting arm for connecting with respect to the first surface of the ceramic block and a second connecting arm for connecting with respect to the second surface of the ceramic block.
