  • Publication number: 20220347135
    Abstract: Spontaneous preterm birth (sPTB) is premature delivery prior to 37 weeks of pregnancy and is a leading cause of infant mortality worldwide. sPTB is associated with a unique gene expression profile. Identified herein are numerous safe and proven therapeutic compositions used for unrelated indications that have the biological effect of reversing, in part, the gene expression profile of sPTB and which can be used in preventative or interventional treatments to prevent, delay, or ameliorate sPTB. The repurposed drugs include several Class A and Class B therapeutics that are regarded as safe or low risk in pregnant subjects.

  • Patent number: 11026793
    Abstract: Systems and methods for magnetic induction of a penile prosthesis are disclosed. The magnetic induction system includes a wand that has a coil arrangement covered with a thermal and electrical insulator sheath operable to generate an alternating magnetic field. The coil arrangement of the sheath is configured to receive the length of the penile prosthesis therein. The penile prosthesis may be made from a shape memory material such that application of alternating magnetic fields generated by the magnetic induction system induces eddy currents that raise the temperature of the penile prosthesis to a temperature above the austenitic transformation temperature that allows the penile prosthesis to achieve an erect state.

  • Patent number: 9368207
    Abstract: Operating ReRAM memory is disclosed herein. The memory cells may be trained prior to initially programming them. The training may help to establish a percolation path. In some aspects, a transistor limits current of the memory cell when training and programming. A higher current limit is used during training, which conditions the memory cell for better programming. The non-memory may be operated in unipolar mode. The memory cells can store multiple bits per memory cell. A memory cell can be SET directly from its present state to one at least two data states away. A memory cell can be RESET directly to the state having the next highest resistance. Program conditions, such as pulse width and/or magnitude, may depend on the state to which the memory cell is being SET. A higher energy can be used for programming higher current states.

  • Publication number: 20150070965
    Abstract: Non-volatile storage devices having reversible resistance storage elements are disclosed herein. In one aspect, a memory cell unit includes one or more memory cells and a transistor (e.g., FET) that is used to control (e.g., limit) current of the memory cells. The drain of the transistor may be connected to a first end of the memory cell. If the memory cell unit has multiple memory cells then the drain may be connected to a node that is common to a first end of each of the memory cells. The source of the transistor is connected to a common source line. The gate of the transistor may be connected to a word line. The same word line may connect to the transistor gate of several (or many) different memory cell units. A second end of the memory cell is connected to a bit line.
