Publication number: 20230212640Abstract: Disclosed herein is a quantitative screen for the assessment of microbiome derived drug metabolism. The disclosed quantitative screen, named MDMQ-Screen, may be employed, inter alia, for assessing the impact of the human gut microbiome on drug metabolism. MDMQ-Screen is used to measure and explain inter-individual variability in drug metabolism. This information is crucial in explaining potential toxic effects of the administered drugs, as well variability in response to therapy between individuals. Inter alia, MDMQ-Screen can be used to assess unexplained variability in drug response and toxicity of already used medications; used in future drug development pipelines to aid in the design and interpretation of clinical trials; and used at bedside to assess the probability of drug response and toxicity and provide recommendations for therapeutic modifications in a personalized medicine manner.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 1, 2021Publication date: July 6, 2023Applicant: The Trustees of Princeton UniversityInventors: Mohamed Abou DONIA, Bahar JAVDAN, Jaime LOPEZ

Patent number: 8431876Abstract: The present invention provides system for testing an electrical winding element that is usually a stator bar or a stator winding. The stator bar is attached to a short circuit conductive element to form a closed short circuit of a single turn that acts as a primary circuit. The closed short circuit is connected to a step-up transformer that will act as a secondary circuit and which has at least two turns. The step-up transformer uses a controlled variable voltage source that charges the closed short circuit. Charging the closed short circuit creates a current in the stator bar inner conductive element, causing heat on the stator bar by induction. The system of the present invention is suitable for an accelerated thermal aging test that simulates closely how heat is created by induction on stator bars of electric machines.Type: GrantFiled: July 29, 2010Date of Patent: April 30, 2013Assignee: Empresas Publicas de Medellin E.S.P.Inventors: Jose Armando Bohorquez Cortazar, Andres Emiro Diez Restrepo, Juan Carlos Toro Londoño, Jairo Leon Restrepo Velasquez, Hector Diego Gonzalez Sanchez, Hugo Alberto Cardona Restrepo, Gabriel Jaime Lopez Jimenez, Idi Amin Isaac Millan, Emiro De Jesus Diez Saldarriaga
