Abstract: Described here are systems and methods for accessing Schlemm's canal and for delivering an ocular device or fluid composition therein. The ocular devices may maintain the patency of Schlemm's canal without substantially interfering with transmural fluid flow across the canal. The fluid composition may be a viscoelastic fluid that is delivered into the canal to facilitate drainage of aqueous humor by disrupting the canal and surrounding trabeculocanalicular tissues. Tools for disrupting these tissues and minimally invasive methods for treating medical conditions associated with elevated intraocular pressure, including glaucoma, are also described.

Abstract: A mixed-signal in-memory computing sub-cell only requires 9 transistors for 1-bit multiplication. A computing cell is constructed from a plurality of such sub-cells that share a common computing capacitor and a common transistor. A MAC array for performing MAC operations, includes a plurality of the computing cells each activating the sub-cells therein in a time-multiplexed manner. A differential version of the MAC array provides improved computation error tolerance and an in-memory mixed-signal computing module for digitalizing parallel analog outputs of the MAC array and for performing other tasks in the digital domain. An ADC block in the computing module makes full use of capacitors in the MAC array, allowing the computing module to have a reduced area and suffer from fewer computational errors.
