  • Patent number: 10883572
    Abstract: A cycloid speed reducer has a housing for accommodating a piece of equipment. Outer pins in meshing engagement with cycloid gears of a reduction gear portion are incorporated into the housing as a sliding bearing. A lubrication ring for lubricating the outer pins is slidably incorporated into the housing. The outer pins are lubricated by the outer pin lubricating ring. Inner pins are lubricated by a lubricating ring. The pair of cycloid gears are lubricated via the outer pins and the inner pins. As a result, friction between components is reduced, whereby frictional resistance decreases and durability is enhanced. In addition, the cycloid speed reducer can be manufactured as a small, compact unit.

  • Publication number: 20200408929
    Abstract: A neural network based corrector for photon counting detectors is described. A method for photon count correction includes receiving, by a trained artificial neural network (ANN), a detected photon count from a photon counting detector. The detected photon count corresponds to an attenuated energy spectrum. The attenuated energy spectrum is related to characteristics of an imaging object and is based, at least in part, on an incident energy spectrum. The method further includes correcting, by the trained ANN, the detected photon count to produce a corrected photon count. The method may include reconstructing, by image reconstruction circuitry, an image based, at least in part, on the corrected photon count.

  • Publication number: 20200405649
    Abstract: Compositions of the present disclosure include a first dCas9-FokI-sgRNA complex and a second dCas9-FokI-sgRNA complex. The first sgRNA is configured to target a first side of a genomic fusion site and the second sgRNA is configured to target a second side of the genomic fusion site. The first and second complexes only cut DNA upon dimerization. Thus, upon binding of both first dCas9-FokI-sgRNA complex and second dCas9-FokI-sgRNA complex, the dimer is produced and DNA cleavage proceeds at the genomic fusion site. The dCas9-FokI-sgRNA complexes are loaded on a folded-DNA shell for transport across the cellular membrane. The shell has a viral-mimic structure that maximizes cell entry, is non-cytotoxic, has low-to-nonimmunogenicity, and provides excellent capacity to enclose and protect the complexes. These systems exhibit both cellular (via the shell) and molecular (via the complexes) specificity, significantly reducing off-target activity and the associated harmful side-effects.
