  • Publication number: 20240093199
    Abstract: The invention relates to a double-stranded ribonucleic acid (dsRNA) for inhibiting the expression of the PCSK9 gene (PCSK9 gene), comprising an antisense strand having a nucleotide sequence which is less that 30 nucleotides in length, generally 19-25 nucleotides in length, and which is substantially complementary to at least a part of the PCSK9 gene. The invention also relates to a pharmaceutical composition comprising the dsRNA together with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier and method for treating diseases caused by PCSK9 gene expression.

  • Patent number: 11582348
    Abstract: Systems and methods for intelligently routing a member of an organization to a single point-of-contact within an optimized, secure network to address all the member's healthcare needs are described. The disclosed intelligent routing configurations transform and process, in real-time, vast amounts of member data to generate aggregated diagnoses and a member score specific to each member's household. The scores, among other things, are used to determine an identification of special needs and an appropriate advocate within the organization to route the member, and its account file containing real-time member and household level data.

  • Publication number: 20220173369
    Abstract: A solventless method of making a dry electrode for an electrochemical cell is provided. A solventless electrode material mixture includes 85-99% electrode active material and from 0-10% conductive carbon additive. A polymer binder system is present from 1-15%. The polymer binder system includes one or more polymer binders. The electrode material mixture is mixed at a temperature greater than a softening point or a melting point of at least one polymer binder of the polymer binder system. The electrode material mixture is kneaded into an electrode material dough. The electrode material dough is formed into an electrode material sheet. At least a portion of the electrode material sheet is affixed to a metal current collector to form an electrode.

  • Publication number: 20220045368
    Abstract: The present invention provides a rechargeable lithium metal oxide-zinc battery system with an aqueous-based electrolyte including at least one positive electrode including a lithium compound, at least one negative electrode including zinc or a zinc compound, an aqueous-based electrolyte and an aqueous-based solvent. The aqueous-based electrolyte includes at least one zinc-based electroactive material and at least one lithium-based electroactive material. The combination of the electrodes and electrolyte composition suppresses electrode corrosion and gas generation at the negative electrode.

  • Patent number: 11194884
    Abstract: A method for facilitating identification of navigation regions in a web page based on document object model (DOM) analysis is provided. In one embodiment, the method includes analyzing the web page for features. The features include at least one of: interactive elements, content regions, link region roots, or landmarks. The method also includes representing the features in a tree structure and analyzing the tree structure for a link density to identify non-main landmarks, a reading order, and main content roots. The method further includes enabling a region navigation for the web page based on the identified non-main landmarks, reading order, and main content roots.

  • Publication number: 20130061845
    Abstract: An autonomous passive solar tracker having a thermal actuator that is connected through a cable and pulley and drum to a spring. The drum and spring are mounted on a cross beam of the tracker frame. The cable is attached on one end to the actuator push rod. It then threads through the pulley and wraps around the drum. The spring biases the tracker to pivot towards one direction, and the actuator when heated and extended forces the tracker to pivot in the opposite direction. The tracker is oriented so that the spring has a bias to pivot the tracker to the east, and the outward force of the actuator rod against the cable causes the actuator to pivot to the west. One may take advantage of this tracking by attaching a solar collector to the frame of the tracker.
