Abstract: Systems and methods of beamforming and improving mmWave communications for drones are described. Multiple RF chains are used to adapt the main beam to track changes without the use of pilot signals. To reduce interference, interfering signal power is eliminated by optimizing a non-Gaussian measure to extract the interferers. The AoA of signals from a target drone on neighbouring drones and location of the neighbouring drones and base stations are used to independently corroborate the location reported by the target drone. The base station provides additional synchronization signals below 6 GHz and restricts the search/measurement space in the vertical direction. The inherent sparse structure above 6 GHz is exploited by applying different beamformers on a sounding signal and estimating the AoA and impulse response. Variations of fully digital and hybrid beamforming architectures for multi-cell DL sync and CRS measurement are described.

Abstract: The disclosed embodiments relate the diagnosis of Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) by monitoring STING (TMEM173) signaling activation in brain immune system and peripheral immune system.

In late neuroinflammation of moderate and severe AD, STING signaling activation can also be detected in the Mg subgroup, the Interferon-Related Modules. And the STING signaling activation is induced by A ? oligomer and can also be detected in leukocytes and white blood cells. Therefore, the STING signaling activation is a diagnosis marker of mild, moderate, and severe AD.

Our study showed that, in the young (2-3 months old) AD 5XFAD animal models, before the plaque accumulation of A? amyloid protein, blocking (e.g.,. gene knockout) or decreasing (e.g., small molecule antagonist treatment) Sting (Tmem173) signaling activation significantly reduced the pro-inflammatory activation and the proliferation of microglia (Mg) cells, enhanced the lysosomal synthesis and the protein antigen degradation of Mg cells, decreased the neuron loss and the AD neuroinflammation, and improved the cognitive ability of the AD 5XFAD mouse models. Therefore, in the mild AD or in the early stages of AD, blocking or decreasing STING signaling activation can be used for prevention or treatment of AD.
