  • Patent number: 12614270
    Abstract: Various embodiments of the present technology relate to solutions for gas leak detection in natural gas extraction and storage environments. In some examples, a machine learning interface generates feature vectors based on video data that depicts a natural gas storage facility and feeds the feature vectors to a machine learning engine. The machine learning engine ingests the feature vectors and generates a machine learning output that indicates the presence of the gas leak in the natural gas storage facility. The machine learning interface receives the machine learning output that indicates the presence of a gas leak in the natural gas storage facility. The machine learning interface generates and transfers an alert based on the machine learning output.

  • Publication number: 20250326725
    Abstract: Compounds and methods are provided for inhibiting a PI4-kinase. Methods of treating a pathogen infection and methods of treating cancer are also provided. The PI4-kinase inhibitor can be a compound that is a 5-aryl or heteroaryl-thiazole, e.g., as described herein. In certain embodiments, the PI4-kinase inhibitor is a substituted 2-amino-5-phenylthiazole or substituted 2-amino-5-pyridylthiazole compound. In some embodiments, the compounds have broad spectrum anti-infective activity against a variety of infective diseases, where the diseases are caused by pathogens containing a basic amino acid PIP-2 pincer (BAAPP) domain that interacts with phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP-2) to mediate pathogen replication. Also provided are methods of treating a subject for cancer using a PI4-kinase inhibitor. Aspects of the methods include inhibiting PI4-kinase in a cancer cell to reduce cellular proliferation.
