  • Publication number: 20250101357
    Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product are provided for monitoring neuron growth within a lattice and stopping a spread of an infection. An infection visual recognition module monitors and captures images of the lattice during the neuron growth. The presence of the infection in the neurons within the lattice is identified. The identifying includes performing, via a deep neural network, visual recognition on the captured images to identify the presence of the infection. In response to the identifying, applying a laser to the infected area of the lattice with sufficient energy for stopping the infection. The lattice is flushed to remove chemical byproducts and dead cells resulting from the laser application.

  • Patent number: 12233051
    Abstract: The disclosure provides methods of treating a patient having primary hyperoxaluria or idiopathic hyperoxaluria comprising administering a therapeutically effective amount of compound of the formula and pharmaceutically acceptable salts, solvates, and hydrates thereof to the patient. The variables, e.g. ring A, n, R, R3, R10, X, Y, and Z are defined herein. These compounds act as lactate dehydrogenase inhibitors and are useful inhibiting the conversion of glyoxylate to oxalate. When administered to a patient having a disease or disorder associated with elevated oxalate levels, such as PH type 1, type 2, or type 3 or idiopathic hyperoxaluria the compounds prevent or substantially reduce the amount and buildup of oxalate the patient's kidneys, bladder, urinary tract and other parts of the patient's body.

  • Publication number: 20240355747
    Abstract: Substrate with multiple core layers to provide varied thickness cavities supporting varied thickness embedded electrical devices, and related integrated circuit (IC) packages and fabrication methods. To provide for core layer of the substrate to support multiple embedded electrical devices, multiple core layers are provided in the substrate. Providing multiple core layers in the substrate allows multiple cavities to be formed in the core layers at multiple depths to compatibly support embedding of multiple electrical devices of varied thicknesses in the core layers. Thus, providing multiple core layers in the substrate can compatibly support forming cavities of multiple thicknesses that are compatible with multiple electrical devices of different thicknesses to be embedded therein. In this manner, design parameters of the overall thickness of the core layer of a substrate can be independent of the variation in thicknesses of multiple embedded electrical devices desired to be embedded therein.
