  • Publication number: 20250049755
    Abstract: Novel compositions and methods are provided for effective clinical management of central nervous system (CNS) cancers in mammalian subjects, including humans. The anti-CNS cancer compositions and methods employ lucanthone, alone or in combination with other anti-CNS cancer drugs or methods (including chemotherapy, such as with temozolomide, and radiation), to prevent or reduce CNS cancer, including gliomas. In certain embodiments, lucanthone compositions and methods effectively treat glioblastomas, including high grade glioblastomas. In other embodiments, lucanthone compositions and methods effectively target and control CNS cancer stem cells, for example to reduce or prevent recurrence of glioblastomas unresolved by conventional treatments.

  • Patent number: 11749428
    Abstract: Electrically resistive devices, such as voltage dividers, and methods of making the same are disclosed. An illustrative voltage divider may include a substrate having an axis, an electrically resistive path applied to the substrate, and at least one terminal positioned around the substrate and in contact with the electrically resistive path. The electrically resistive path may include a primary resistor and a secondary resistor, with the primary resistor having a higher electrical resistance than the secondary resistor. An adjustable displacement of the at least one terminal along the axis of the substrate may allow adjustment of at least one electrical resistance associated with the at least one terminal. An adjustable tightness of the at least one terminal around the substrate may allow adjustment of the at least one electrical resistance associated with the at least one terminal.

  • Publication number: 20220324025
    Abstract: A system and method for forming electrical devices via additive manufacturing processes that utilize starting materials that are in a solid state at least prior to, as well as after, the formation of the electrical device. A first solid starting material can be configured to form one or more insulator layers of the electrical device, while another solid starting material can be applied to form one or more electrically conductive layers. The starting materials canbe applied layer-by-layer during formation of the electrical device such that the electrically conductive layers can become automatically embedded within the insulating layers, and vice versa. The additive manufacturing process(es) utilized to form the electrically conductive layers from solid starting materials can be different than the additive manufacturing process(es) utilized to form the insulator layers.
