The present disclosure provides new compounds, salts, compositions and uses thereof in the treatment of PCOS due to elevated adrenal androgens. Further, the present disclosure provides methods for treating PCOS due to elevated adrenal androgens.

Abstract: In one aspect a method that includes receiving an input signal captured by one or more first sensors associated with an active noise reduction (ANR) device, and processing the input signal using a first filter disposed in an ANR signal path to generate a first signal for an acoustic transducer of the ANR device. The input signal is processed in a pass-through signal path disposed in parallel with the ANR signal path to generate a second signal for the acoustic transducer, wherein the pass-through signal path allows a portion of the input signal to pass through to the acoustic transducer in accordance with a variable gain. One or more second sensors detect an existence of a condition likely to cause instability in the pass-through signal path, and in response, the variable gain is adjusted. A driver signal for the acoustic transducer is generated using an output based on the adjusted gain.

Abstract: The present invention provides for cross-neutralizing SARS-COV2 antibodies. The antibodies can be used to treat SARS-CoV2 and variants thereof.

Abstract: A computing system receives decrypts learned parameters of a computer-implemented predictive model stored in a computer-readable, non-volatile data store upon instantiation of a model process in volatile memory of the computing system. The predictive model is parameterized by learned parameters that are based upon private data of a user, wherein the learned parameters of the predictive model have been encrypted subsequent to training of the predictive model based upon the private data of the user. The computing system receives a request for a prediction associated with the user. Upon authorizing the request, the computing identifies the predictive model. The computing system, by way of the model process, generates the prediction based upon the request and the predictive model. The computing system outputs the prediction to a computing device associated with the user.
