Abstract: Various techniques are provided for performing real-time subject-motion-tracking during photon imaging by applying various data processing techniques on raw photon-events data generated by photon imaging scanners. In one aspect, a process of performing real-time subject-motion tracking during photon imaging begins by receiving multiple channels of raw singles-event data from a set of detector groups of the photon scanner while scanning a live subject. For each received channel of raw singles-event data, a singles-rate time series is generated based on a predetermined temporal resolution. Next, the set of singles-rate time series corresponding to the set of detector groups is combined to generate an overall singles-rate time series. Subsequently, the overall singles-rate time series is processed to extract in real-time one or more motion signals corresponding to one or more physiological motions of the live subject while the live subject is being scanned.

Abstract: A method of making a silver-silicalite coating on a surface of a stainless-steel substrate is provided. The method includes mixing metakaolin with an aqueous solution of NaOH to form a first mixture. The method further includes mixing silica gel and silver nitrate with the first mixture to form a second mixture.

Abstract: A head propeller of the flying vehicle compresses incoming flow at a vehicle head inside an upper duct to a lower duct through an air suction channel. A portion of airflow is compressed to the lower duct through the air suction channel under an action of a guide plate and a vehicle body propeller. A bottom propeller of the flying vehicle compresses an airflow into pressure bins of the lower duct at a lower portion through the air suction channel. A sealing state of the pressure bins of the lower duct is destroyed. High-pressure airflow inside the lower duct is jetted out from an air outlet channel to the upper duct. A tail propeller guides the airflow to the tail portion of the vehicle body. The upper duct and the lower duct are constructed inside the pipeline, so a running resistance of the flying vehicle is reduced.

Abstract: Methods of treating neuroinflammation in a subject by administering to the subject an agent that inhibits activation of coagulation factor XI (FXI), inhibits the activity of activated FXI (FXIa), or reduces expression of FXI are described. The agent that inhibits activation of FXI can be a monoclonal antibody specific for FXI, such as a monoclonal antibody having the complementarity determining region (CDR) sequences of anti-FXI antibody 14E11. Small molecule inhibitors and antisense compounds directed to FXI or FXIa are also contemplated as agents that inhibit activity of FXIa or reduce expression of FXI. The neuroinflammation in the subject can be associated with any one of a number of different diseases or disorders, such as an autoimmune disease of the central nervous system (CNS) or a neurodegenerative disease.
