  • Publication number: 20210283394
    Abstract: Conventional systems and methods limit their approaches for simpler stratum corneum (SC) model and approximated parameters and thus lacked in understanding of electroporation. Further, these approaches limit their capabilities to a specific phenomenon either molecular of macroscopic level permeation, and flux and cumulative release profiles could not be obtained using molecular models due to their limitations with respect to time and length scales. Conventional simulation studies also lack in designing electroporation experimental protocols which require selection of multiple pulse parameters. Embodiments of the present disclosure provide systems and methods for in-silico design of skin electroporation parameters; wherein skin lipids membrane are simulated for calculation of physical properties such as diffusion coefficient. Further, macroscopic diffusion is simulated during electroporation and flux and cumulative release profiles of actives are computed.

  • Publication number: 20210286668
    Abstract: Disclosed are hardware and techniques for correcting computer process faults by identifying risk associated with correcting a computer process fault and computer processes that may depend on the corrected computer process. The interdependent computer processes in a network may be determined by evaluating a stream of process break flags from a monitoring component coupled to the network. Each computer process break flag in the stream of computer process break flags indicates a process fault detected by the monitoring component and is correlated to a corrective response. The break flag and the corrective response are assigned a risk. A risk matrix accounts for interdependencies between computer processes and identified corrective actions. A final response strategy that corrects the computer process faults is determined using the assigned risk and computer system interdependence.
