  • Publication number: 20190012596
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a data processing system, method and device. The system includes a control component and a plurality of computing subcomponents coupled to the control component. The plurality of computing subcomponents respectively processes sample subsets of a sample data set under instruction of a processing procedure in the control component. For one of the plurality of computing subcomponents, at least one data element is configured to output the sample subsets of the sample data set in sequence to an embedding element based on the processing procedure in the control component. At least one embedding element is configured to receive a sample subset based on the processing procedure in the control component, map sample data in the sample subset to a multi-dimensional space based on a mapping parameter to obtain a multi-dimensional sample subset, and output the multi-dimensional sample subset to at least one backend element.

  • Patent number: 8680140
    Abstract: Select phytoestrogen pharmaceutical compositions and methods of use for preventing or reducing one or more symptoms associated with pre menopause, menopause, and/or post menopause are described herein. These select phytoestrogen formulations are composed only of two or more plant-derived estrogenic molecules and/or their structural analogues and exhibit binding preference to ER? over ER? and agonist activity in the brain. These ER?-selective phytoestrogen formulations cross the blood-brain-barrier and promote estrogen-associated neurotrophism and neuroprotection mechanisms in the brain, without activating proliferative mechanisms in the reproductive tissues and are therefore devoid of other estrogen-associated problematic aspects. The formulations can be administered enterally, transdermally, transmucosally, intranasally or parenterally. The formulations preferably contain combinations of compounds, and can be formulated for daily, sustained, delayed or weekly/monthly administration.

  • Patent number: 8552057
    Abstract: Select phytoestrogen pharmaceutical compositions and methods of use for promoting neurological heath and prevention of age-related neurodegeneration, such as AD, have been developed. These select phytoestrogen formulations are composed of a number of plant-derived estrogenic molecules and/or their structural analogues and exhibit binding preference to ER? over ER? and agonist activity in the brain. These ER?-selective phytoestrogen formulations cross the blood-brain-barrier and promote estrogen-associated neurotrophism and neuroprotections mechanisms in the brain, without activating proliferative mechanisms in the reproductive tissues and are therefore devoid of other estrogen-associated problematic aspects.

  • Publication number: 20080200441
    Abstract: Selective estrogen receptor modulators, as well their related pharmaceutical compositions and methods of use, are provided herein. These estrogen receptor modulators include compounds that primarily exhibit estrogen receptor antagonist activity or primarily exhibit selective estrogen receptor antagonist and agonist activity, i.e., SERM activity, in specific tissue types. Particular embodiments provide compounds that behave as NeuroSERMs promoting neurotrophism and neuroprotection in brain tissue. These NeuroSERMs represent a subset of the modulators compounds provided herein that can cross the blood-brain-barrier and exert estrogen receptor agonist-like effects in the brain. The compounds should be useful for treating a variety of diseases, particularly estrogen receptor-mediated diseases and disorders, such as osteoporosis, breast and endometrial cancers, atherosclerosis and Alzheimer's disease.
