  • Patent number: 12221373
    Abstract: A glass manufacturing apparatus includes a forming apparatus defining a travel path extending in a travel direction. The forming apparatus conveys a ribbon of glass-forming material along the travel path in the travel direction of the forming apparatus. The glass manufacturing apparatus includes a cooling tube extending substantially parallel to the travel path and extending across the travel direction. The cooling tube includes a plurality of orifices spaced apart along the cooling tube and facing the travel path. Methods of manufacturing glass can comprise flowing a coolant from an outlet of a conduit in a direction toward a target location of a flowing ribbon of molten material. Methods can also include changing a phase of the coolant while the coolant is flowing towards the target location. The change in phase can cool the target location.

  • Publication number: 20240386206
    Abstract: A method includes identifying identigens for each word of a phrase, where the identigens of a first word of the phrase includes one or more different meanings of the first word. The method further includes identifying two adjacent words of the phrase that are lacking an identigen pairing rule and determining whether the identigen pairing rule can be inferred for the two adjacent words based on known identigen pairings of other words of the trusted phrase. When the identigen pairing rule can be inferred for the two adjacent words, the method further includes adding to a knowledge database the identigen pairing rule of the two adjacent words.

  • Publication number: 20240342179
    Abstract: A method of inhibiting KIF15 can include administering a compound to the KIF15 to inhibit biological functionality of KIF15. The compound includes a structure of Formula 1. R1 and R2 are each independently a non-hydrogen substituent, such that the compound inhibits biological functionality of KIF15, or a stereoisomeric form or a mixture of stereoisomeric forms, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the compound. The compound is administered to the KIF15 to inhibit KIF15 from interacting with TPX2 so as to inhibit or disrupt a protein-protein interaction therebetween. The administering of the compound can be to a subject having the KIF15, which is administered in a therapeutically effective amount to treat a disease or disorder associated with KIF15 interacting with TPX2, such as treating a cancer or neoplasm.
