  • Patent number: 11135091
    Abstract: A lens device for use in Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (SLT) procedures is provided. The lens device includes four internal reflectors, each having a reflector surface configured direct a laser beam pulse toward the trabecular meshwork region of a patient's eye. Each of the four internal reflectors is arranged to correspond to a particular quadrant of the patient's eye to enable the entire 360-degrees of the trabecular meshwork to be treated with laser pulses without rotation of the lens device. A method for performing an SLT procedure using the lens device is also provided. The method includes placing the lens device of the patient's eye, aligning the internal reflectors with the quadrants of the patient's eye, directing laser pulses through each internal reflector until the trabecular meshwork in each quadrant of the patient's eye has been treated.

  • Publication number: 20210009524
    Abstract: Provided herein is a method for treating a monocarboxylate transporter MCT4-mediated disorder in a subject in need thereof. The method comprises the step of administering to the subject a compound of structural Formula I and/or a salt thereof. The treatment of the monocarboxylate transporter MCT4-mediated disorder may inhibit activity of MCT4, or a mutant thereof, sometimes with at least a 100-fold selectivity for MCT4 over MCT1.

  • Patent number: 10888174
    Abstract: Mosquito bed net assembly 10a-h includes a mosquito bed net (12) impregnated with a first insecticide and a barrier member 16a-h located above an upper surface (14) of the bed net (12) and being impregnated with a second insecticide. In use, bed net assembly 16a-h increases the likelihood of delivering a lethal dosage of insecticide to mosquitoes flying in frequently-visited areas of a bed net, without increased attendant health risk to a user.

  • Patent number: 10855107
    Abstract: A system and method for determining a reliability line rating for a transmission line is disclosed. In response to a line clearance measurement and a line temperature measurement received from a transmission line monitor coupled to a transmission line, the system generates a temperature-clearance model for the transmission line based on the received line clearance measurement and line temperature measurement. The system generates a plurality of past dynamic line ratings and determines a scaling factor based on the plurality of past dynamic line ratings. The system then generates a dynamic line rating for an interval of time in the future and scales the dynamic line rating in response to the scaling factor to obtain a reliability line rating for the interval.

  • Patent number: 10583846
    Abstract: The present invention generally relates to a rail transport system having no internal drive, and in particular to an improved rail transport system for conveying bulk materials. The rail transport system includes horizontal and vertical drive stations that include a drive tire that rotates on a plane parallel to the track. In this arrangement, force is applied on a different plane than earlier systems, and the reaction force is separated out of the tensioning device. The improvements of the drive stations provide for a reduction of steel used in the system, improved manufacturability and, therefore, reduction in system component costs as compared to previous drive stations. Moreover, the drive stations allow for improved maintainability and access to the drive tires.
