Patent number: 10785928Abstract: A horticultural raft includes a raft body, at least one top cavity, and a group of mid cavities. The top cavity includes an upper face defining a first projected area and a lower face defining a second projected area substantially equal to or less than the first projected area. The upper face provides a seeding pattern having one or two degrees of freedom in a growing medium disposed in the top cavity. Each mid cavity has an upper face defining a third projected area that is entirely contained within the second projected area. The mid cavities are configured to contribute to buoyancy of the floating horticultural raft, allow germinants in the growing medium to communicate via capillary action with a nutrient solution when the raft is floating in the nutrient solution, and mitigate hyperhydration and asphyxiation at respective root-stem junctions of the germinants.Type: GrantFiled: June 5, 2019Date of Patent: September 29, 2020Assignee: EDEN WORKS, INC.Inventors: Nico Hawley-Weld, Matthew Larosa, Aftab Alam, Rachel Klepner, Dan Volpe, Ben Silverman

Publication number: 20200075090Abstract: A wordline coupled to a memory cell is selected in connection with performing a read/write operation at the memory cell. A wordline signal is asserted on the selected wordline. The assertion of the wordline signal has a leading edge and a trailing edge and, between the leading edge and trailing edge, a series of wordline underdrive pulses. Each wordline underdrive pulse causes a wordline voltage to fall from a first voltage level to a second voltage level and then rise from the second voltage level to the first voltage level. The first and second voltage levels are both greater than a ground voltage of the memory cell.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 16, 2019Publication date: March 5, 2020Applicant: STMicroelectronics International N.V.Inventors: Ashish KUMAR, Mohammad Aftab ALAM

Patent number: 10518070Abstract: The device for powdering a solid unit dosage form of medication and administering the powder form includes an applicator, a powdering tool and, in certain embodiments, a cap. The device is used to create a powder form from a solid unit dosage form, and then administer the powder form to a body cavity of a patient. The cap is provided with an integrated powdering tool, allowing an open end of an applicator barrel to be releasably covered thereby. Manipulation of the powdering tool creates the powder form through abrasion of a solid unit dosage form of the medication received within the barrel. The cap and powdering tool may then be removed, leaving the powder form of the solid unit dosage form to be administered to the body cavity, such as a patient's vagina or rectum.Type: GrantFiled: March 21, 2019Date of Patent: December 31, 2019Assignee: King Saud UniversityInventor: Mohd Aftab Alam
