  • Patent number: 11534283
    Abstract: Porous implantable devices for housing one or more therapeutic agents are disclosed herein. The implantable devices include a porous outer wall defining an interia or void. The interior void houses a carrier material carrying a first therapeutic agent. The implantable devices are made by patterning at least a portion of a polymerizable substrate into a polymerized three-dimensional porous outer wall surrounding an interior void. This can be achieved by two-photon polymerization techniques. A first therapeutic agent is then added to the interior void, which is then sealed. Methods of treating diseases using the implantable devices are disclosed herein. The methods include implanting the implantable device at a target area and locally releasing a therapeutically effective dosage of a first therapeutic agent from the interior void. The implantable devices can also be used in methods of screening potentially therapeutic agents for desired biological responses.

  • Patent number: 10417799
    Abstract: A plurality of media content items associated with a user and stored locally can be identified. Information associated with the plurality can be acquired. The information can include time data, location data, and/or social graph data. It can be determined, based on the information, that a collection of media content items, out of the plurality, are related. A layout customized for the collection can be generated. Moreover, the collection of media content items that are determined to be related can be identified. The collection can be presented as a collage based on the layout customized for the collection. Contextual information associated with the collage can be acquired. The contextual information can include time data, location data, and/or social graph data. A particular virtual overlaying template can be selected based on the contextual information. The collage can be presented in conjunction with the particular virtual overlaying template.

  • Patent number: 8881034
    Abstract: A widget engine renders widgets using operating system platform-specific attributes. A widget application written at least partly in platform non-specific code is rendered by the widget engine through a series of system calls and callbacks. Upon interpreting particular code, the widget engine issues a system call to a module for performing a particular type of action. The module, based on the operating system platform, calls a platform-specific library that specifies how to carry out the action according to the operating system platform. Thereafter, using the returned platform-specific data, the widget engine renders the widget.
