Publication number: 20250129083Abstract: Imidazotetrazines were designed to evade resistance by O6-methylguanine DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) while retaining suitable hydrolytic stability, allowing for effective prodrug activation and biodistribution. One compound, called TABZ, exhibits activity against cancer cells irrespective of MGMT expression and MMR status. TABZ has comparable blood-brain barrier penetrance and comparable hematological toxicity relative to TMZ, while also matching its maximum tolerated dose (MTD) in mice when dosed once-per-day over five days. The activity of TABZ is independent of the two principal mechanisms suppressing the effectiveness of TMZ, making it a promising new candidate for the treatment of GBM, especially those that are TMZ resistant.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 1, 2023Publication date: April 24, 2025Applicant: THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOISInventors: Paul J.

Publication number: 20250128727Abstract: The provided is a method and system for trajectory prediction based on Cro-IntentFormer. The method starts by preprocessing vehicle trajectory data collected by sensors to produce raw data suitable for model input. Vehicles are treated as nodes, and the distance between vehicles serves as the basis for determining whether there is an edge between two vehicle nodes. A physical relationship graph is constructed and, along with the raw data, input into a spatio-temporal feature extraction module to obtain the spatio-temporal features of the trajectory. The spatio-temporal feature matrix is then input into an intent prediction module to determine the predicted intentions of the vehicles. Based on the intent information output by the intent prediction module, a semantic relationship graph is reconstructed and input, along with the raw data, into the spatio-temporal feature extraction module to derive the semantic features of the trajectory.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 28, 2024Publication date: April 24, 2025Applicant: JIANGSU UNIVERSITYInventors: Qingchao LIU, Shiyu LI, Yingfeng CAI, Hai WANG, Xiaoxia XIONG, Long CHEN

Publication number: 20250130045Abstract: A vision-aided inertial navigation system (VINS) implements a square-root multi-state constraint Kalman filter (SR-MSCKF) for navigation. In one example, a processor of a VINS receives image data and motion data for a plurality of poses of a frame of reference along a trajectory. The processor executes an Extended Kalman Filter (EKF)-based estimator to compute estimates for a position and orientation for each of the plurality of poses of the frame of reference along the trajectory. For features observed from multiple poses along the trajectory, the estimator computes constraints that geometrically relate the multiple poses of the respective feature. Using the motion data and the computed constraints, the estimator computes state estimates for the position and orientation of the frame of reference. Further, the estimator determines uncertainty data for the state estimates and maintains the uncertainty data as a square root factor of a covariance matrix.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 24, 2024Publication date: April 24, 2025Applicant: Regents of the University of MinnesotaInventors: Stergios I.
