  • Patent number: 12181132
    Abstract: Rack-type backlight light emitting element (LEE) printed circuit boards (PCBs) with at least two layers to provide redundant current paths. This enables a PCB strip to be broken at designated perforations in the field in order to accommodate pipes or fixtures that require formation of a gap in the rack array. The entire length and width of an array can be sized in the field. A plurality of PCB arrays can be serially chained together with the system. A chain of PCB strips is snapped into clips, which in turn snap into rails that are fastened to a surface. The mounting system includes various types of clips, such as end clips, clips for different LEE patterns on the PCBs, and mounting clips to secure the rails to a surface.

  • Publication number: 20240426810
    Abstract: There is described herein a method for predicting response to anti-PD1 based therapy in a subject with cancer, the method comprising: providing a sample of peripheral blood from the subject; adding an IFN-I to the sample; assessing T-cell response to IFN-I stimulation in the peripheral blood sample by measuring the expression of IFN-I stimulated genes; and predicting a better outcome in response to anti-PD1 therapy if the assessment in the previous step indicates T-cell resistance to IFN-I stimulation and predicting a poorer outcome in response to anti-PD1 therapy if the assessment step indicates T-cell responsiveness to IFN-I stimulation.

  • Patent number: 12160080
    Abstract: An excimer laser system includes first and second gas cylinders connected to a laser chamber for selectively supplying the laser chamber with gases that are needed to generate and emit laser pulsations having a certain energy level from the laser chamber. At least one of the first and second gas cylinders includes a halogen gas. The halogen gas is consumed during the operation of the excimer laser system. A computer system, included within the excimer laser system, is used to determine whether to resupply the laser chamber with halogen gas from the first and/or second cylinders, or to entirely flush out the gas contents of the laser chamber, and to resupply the flushed gas chamber with gas sourced from the first and/or second cylinders.

  • Patent number: 12005266
    Abstract: A device for applying targeted phototherapy to an area of diseased skin to place a skin condition into remission and a method of determining a maximum tolerable dose of phototherapy applied to a treatment area of diseased skin to determine an optimum therapeutic dose to quickly place a skin condition into remission. The device can include a housing and an optical matrix arranged within the housing that are attached to a dosimetry device. The optical matrix includes a plurality of at least one of absorptive, reflective and/or partially transmissive regions or arrays of perforations that each permits a different percentage of light to be delivered to an individual's skin. Jigs can be included to arrange a plurality of varying exposures to be placed on the patient's skin. An assessment can then be made as to the maximum tolerable dose of phototherapy that can be applied to the individual's skin in order to place a skin condition into remission.

  • Patent number: 11227023
    Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for performing a search from another individual's social perspective. A name or a portion of a name of an individual known by the user is received. A directory search is then performed pertaining to the individual known by the user. After the user identifies the known individual from the directory search results, a selection to perform a directory, content or document search from the known individual's social perspective is received. Such a search may be performed based on the social network of the known individual. In this manner, by performing such searches from the social perspective of the known individual, such as the individual who disclosed the name of the individual who the user would like to contact, the user will be more likely to identify the correct individual, content or document in a more efficient manner.
