  • Publication number: 20230103980
    Abstract: Disclosed herein include methods, compositions, and kits suitable for use in spatiotemporal regulation of therapeutic macrophages through a combination of molecular and physical actuation. There are provided, in some embodiments, thermal bioswitches that allow macrophages to sense small changes in temperature and use them as inputs for the actuation of genetic circuits. Genetic circuits capable of inducing expression of a payload upon thermal stimulation are provided. There are provided, in some embodiments, heat-inducible macrophages and methods of using are provided.

  • Publication number: 20180082265
    Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for assisting users to maintain a desired work-life balance. A desired work-life balance ratio (ratio of time spent between two or more categories (e.g., work, leisure, family) among work and lifestyle) is provided by the user. One or more calendar systems are analyzed to determine the current work-life balance ratio over a duration of time. An activity pool containing a list of activities is analyzed to identify activities to suggest to the user to enable the current work-life balance ratio to match the desired work-life balance ratio in response to the current work-life balance ratio not matching the desired work-life balance ratio. A list of the activities identified is then provided to the user to enable the current work-life balance ratio to match the desired work-life balance ratio. In this manner, the user is better able to achieve the user's desired work-life balance.

  • Publication number: 20060216536
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method of producing a synthetic resin film for laminates. The method comprises impregnating a substrate with a thermosetting resin composition comprising an uncured thermosetting resin and a low profile additive and drying and, optionally partially curing the impregnated substrate. The low profile additive is typically inert spherical particles or powder. The method of the present invention produces synthetic resin film having improved scratch resistance.
