  • Publication number: 20240387058
    Abstract: A digital medicine companion for managing skin diseases (e.g., atopic dermatitis, psoriasis) may include patient wearable devices passively collecting patient data, patient user devices with healthcare applications for the patient to enter health related data, central analytics for flare prediction and disease progress tracking, and a clinician dashboard. For flare prediction, a prediction tool may be trained using the ground truth of recorded flare occurrences for the trained model to predict whether observed scratch events may result in a flare. Upon predicting a likely flare, alert notifications may be generated, e.g., for a clinician and/or the patient. Furthermore, a baseline may be established based on the data passively gathered from the wearables and actively gathered from the patient user devices. The continuously collected data may be compared against the established baseline. Upon detecting a significant deviation, alerts may be sent to the patient and/or the clinician.

  • Publication number: 20240042056
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for attaching a non-soluble active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) to a micro sphere produced by thermally induced phase separation (TIPS) comprising: i) mixing the micro sphere with an aqueous solution to form a first composition; ii) dissolving the non-soluble API in a first solvent and subsequently adding the non soluble API dissolved in the first solvent to the first composition to form a second composition; and iii) mixing the second composition. The invention further relates to a micro sphere produced by thermally induced phase separation which has a non-soluble API bound to its surface and a composition comprising said micro sphere for use in therapy.

  • Patent number: 11545394
    Abstract: A semiconductor wafer dicing process is disclosed for dicing a wafer into individual dies. Scribe lines are formed within a polymer coating to expose regions of wafer to form a pre-processed product. The pre-processed product within the chamber is plasma etched to remove the exposed regions of the wafer to separate the individual dies and form a processed product. A frame cover is then removed and the processed product, wafer frame and adhesive tape are exposed to an oxygen plasma within the chamber to partially remove an outermost region of the polymer coating, which is most heavily contaminated with fluorine, to leave a residual polymer coating on the individual dies and form a post-processed product. The residual polymer coating on the individual dies of the post-processed product is then removed.

  • Patent number: 10716210
    Abstract: Various examples provide a printed circuit board (PCB) comprising a first route from a first through-hole via to a second through-hole via, and a second route from the second through-hole via to a first microvia (e.g., coupled to a second memory module socket). Additional microvias may have a route from the first microvia that effectively daisy chains the microvias from the second through-hold via. Various examples also provide a PCB comprising a first route from a first through-hole via to a second through-hole via, and a second route from the second through-hole via to a first sequential lamination via. Additional sequential lamination vias may have a route from the first microvia that effectively daisy chains the sequential lamination vias from the second through-hold via.
