  • Publication number: 20240156966
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a siRNA drug, a pharmaceutical composition, a siRNA-small molecule drug conjugate, and the application thereof. The siRNA molecules block the life cycle of virus replication by targeting and inhibiting the expression of key genes for influenza viruses, reduce viral infection, and ultimately clear the viruses. The present invention provides a drug based on the siRNA. The drug can be atomized into liquid droplets through an atomizing device, and the liquid droplets reach the lower respiratory tract and the lung by inhalation, so as to inhibit the replication of the influenza viruses. The pharmaceutical composition of the present invention can exert a synergistic antiviral effect through different mechanisms of action.

  • Publication number: 20240152933
    Abstract: Techniques are described herein that are capable of automatic mapping of a question or compliance controls associated with a compliance standard to compliance controls associated with another compliance standard. Reference controls having respective first subsets of text-based features are identified. A question having a second subset of the text-based features or custom controls having respective second subsets of the text-based features are identified. Scores for the respective reference controls are determined for the question or each custom control using a supervised natural language processing machine learning model based at least on the first subsets of the text-based features and the second subset(s) of the text-based features. A compliance map is generated by automatically mapping the question or each custom control to a respective subset of the reference controls using the supervised natural language processing machine learning model based at least on the scores.

  • Publication number: 20230023997
    Abstract: A photovoltaic assembly includes a cell unit layer, a backplate and a reflective layer. The backplate is provided on a back side of the cell unit layer, and one side of the backplate away from the cell unit layer is provided with at least one junction box. The reflective layer is disposed between the cell unit layer and the backplate. The reflective layer includes a plurality of reflective longitudinal strips. Each of the plurality of reflective longitudinal strips covers edges of cell chips within at least one cell string. At least one of the plurality of reflective longitudinal strips is broken at a location adjacent to a cell chip covered by the junction box so as to form at least one opening.

  • Patent number: 10537814
    Abstract: Camera base game controller, system and methods for video shooting games. The game controller is gun shaped which comprises a sight, camera, embedded computer, wireless communication, etc. A player aims at a target on TV screen with sight and captures pictures with camera. The sight's central axis points to a point on TV, known as “hit point” which is a point-of-aim on TV screen the player aiming to. The sight will project hit point to the picture center. Several methods, including algorithm with mathematical method, 1D and 2D screen coding methods are described to calculate the hit point coordinate on TV screen. The game controller will send this coordinate wirelessly to game computer, which connects to TV and will determine whether a target on TV is hit or not, and reacts accordingly. An alternative game controller design using smart phones directly for its camera and embedded computer is described also.
