  • Publication number: 20240110176
    Abstract: Provided herein are, inter alia, complexes useful for editing (e.g., repairing, modifying) DNA in a cell in vitro and in vivo. The complexes provided herein include a DNA editing agent bound to a phosphorothioate nucleic acid through a chemical linker. The chemical linker (e.g., disulfide linker) may be a linker that dissociates once the complex has entered the inside of the cell, thereby releasing the DNA editing agent and allowing the DNA editing agent to access and edit a cellular target sequence. The complexes provided herein exhibit high transfection efficiency and editing efficacy and therefore provide for useful therapeutic and diagnostic tools.

  • Patent number: 11933423
    Abstract: A method for determining a switching point of a solenoid valve. A solenoid coil is energized to raise a solenoid armature to unblock a flow opening. For a signal profile characteristic of a current profile in the solenoid coil, multiple periods each different from one another and each having the same predefined temporal length are determined. Within each period, a minimal and a maximal value of the signal profile and associated points in time are ascertained and a product of a difference between the maximal and minimal value and a difference between the associated points in time are ascertained. On the basis of the points in time of the minimal and maximal value of that period, which corresponds to a maximal value of the product, the switching point is determined.
