  • Patent number: 11363223
    Abstract: A pixel circuit for a ultra-low power image sensor, including: an integration node, on which a photodiode current is integrated, a comparator arranged to compare a voltage at the integration node with a reference voltage, a n+1 bits digital memory, a writing pulse signal generator arranged to generate a writing pulse signal, on the basis of the comparator output voltage and on the voltage at a memory node, the start of the pulse triggering the writing of the digital word in the n-bits digital memory part. The comparator includes a switch in series with a current source and arranged to be commanded by the voltage at the memory node so that the switch is open at the end of the pulse, so as to drastically limit the consumption of static power of the pixel circuit during the integration phase.

  • Patent number: 11357942
    Abstract: An insertion guide facilitates insertion of an endotracheal tube (ETT) into the trachea of a patient instead of the esophagus of the patient. The ETT includes an elongated, somewhat flexible, generally hollow tube and the insertion guide includes an elongated, solid and relatively rigid shaft that is configured to be positioned within the hollow tube of the ETT. The shaft is provided with a radiused portion and/or an angled portion adjacent a distal end of the insertion guide that protrudes outwardly beyond a distal end of the ETT. The radiused portion and/or the angled portion of the shaft facilitate insertion of the distal end of the ETT past the epiglottis and into the trachea of the patient instead of into the esophagus of the patient.

  • Patent number: 11351226
    Abstract: Cytoablative treatments lead to severe damages on thymic epithelial cells (TECs), which result in delayed de novo thymopoïesis and a prolonged period of T-cell immunodeficiency. Understanding the mechanisms that govern thymic regeneration is of paramount interest for the recovery of a functional immune system notably after bone marrow transplantation (BMT). Here, the inventors show that administration of RANK ligand (RANKL) after total body irradiation and BMT boosts thymic regeneration. Notably, this treatment is also beneficial upon BMT in aged individuals. The inventors show that RANKL can improve thymopoiesis in aged individuals affected by thymic involution. Finally, the inventors show that RANK receptor is conserved in the human thymus. Accordingly, one aspect of the present invention relates to a method of boosting thymic regeneration in a patient suffering from a thymic injury comprising administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of a RANKL polypeptide.
