  • Patent number: 11869633
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods for accurately predicting the dynamics of symptom response to drugs or other interventions for the treatment of major depressive disorder or other psychological conditions. These methods can allow for a shortening of the time period necessary for the evaluation of a drug or other therapeutic intervention. These predictive methods are based on measured and/or self-reported symptom severity measures at two or more points in time. These measures are then discretized into symptom classes (e.g., low, moderate, severe) and the symptom classes are then applied to the predictive model to predict the progression of symptoms and/or the effectiveness of a drug or other therapeutic intervention.

  • Publication number: 20240003021
    Abstract: The system includes electrolyzers to generate acidic and alkaline effluent streams from saltwater. The electrolyzer include stacked pairs of porous anodes and cathodes that define feed channels into which reactants, e.g., hydrogen and brine, can be pumped to undergo an oxidation-reduction reaction. The porous cathode carries out the HER to generate H2, which floats upwards to the porous anode, where it is oxidized through the HOR. The reaction can thus progress in a self-maintaining manner. The HER creates an alkaline product stream with increased basicity, and the HOR an acidic product stream with increased acidity, compared to the inlet stream. Streams are pumped through the porous electrodes and the electrolyzer to sweep effluent through separate channels before they can combine. The alkaline product stream can have an alkalinity sufficient to drive metal ion precipitation in raw saltwater prior to feeding to the electrolyzer to reduce fouling/degradation of electrolyzer electrodes.

  • Publication number: 20240006129
    Abstract: Transparent UV-absorbing solar cells are promising for the applications of powering electrochromic windows that regulate the transmission of visible and near-infrared photons for natural lighting and heating purposes, respectively. Current technologies focus on using organic solar cells for the application due to their narrow excitonic absorption and tunable bandgaps. However, transparent organic solar cells have drawbacks including the stability issue and thickness-induced problems, such as low yield rate and limited power conversion efficiency. Disclosed herein is the co-deposition of two or more materials by thermal evaporation to make visibly transparent inorganic perovskite films. By tuning the halide compositions, the inorganic perovskite films show absorption range in UV and near-UV region, which is well-suited to the application. Its high conductivity and absorbance enable it to be around 400 nm thick for devices, which is critical to improve the yield rate and efficiency.
