  • Publication number: 20200023206
    Abstract: Systems for modulating one or more neurons using focused ultrasound (FUS) include a transducer mount, a recording chamber disposed at an angle relative the transducer mount and configured to contain the one or more neurons within the recording chamber, an ultrasound transducer disposed on the transducer mount to provide an ultrasound stimulus having one or more ultrasound parameters to the one or more neurons, and a processor configured to adjust the one or more ultrasound parameters to produce one or more action potentials from the one or more neurons in response to the ultrasound stimulus, the one or more action potentials corresponding to one or more of a pain or sensation response, a pain or sensation suppression, or neural control of organ function induced by the one or more neurons.

  • Publication number: 20160051493
    Abstract: Methods are provided for diagnosing and treating or preventing keratinocyte-derived lesions, e.g., SCC, (including high-risk forms), non-melanoma skin cancers (including high-risk forms), and actinic keratinosis (“AK”) by administering a therapeutically effective amount of camphor oil, camphor oil derivatives or components, and certain terpene TRPV3 agonists including 2-APB.

  • Patent number: 7176066
    Abstract: A silicon substrate is coated with one or more layers of resist. First and second circuit patterns are exposed in sequence, where the second pattern crosses the first pattern. The patterned resist layers are developed to open holes which extend down to the substrate only where the patterns cross over each other. These holes provide a mask suitable for implanting single phosphorous ions in the substrate, for a solid state quantum computer. Further development of the resist layers provides a mask for the deposition of nanoelectronic circuits, such as single electron transistors, aligned to the phosphorous ions.
