Abstract: An antibody or fragment thereof, against presenilin, and more specifically against the luminal loop 1 of presenilin, far use in the prevention and/or treatment of cancer, by way of administrating a therapeutically effective quantity of the antibody or a fragment thereof, or a pharmaceutical composition comprising thereof, to a subject who suffers from cancer.

Abstract: A sensor bar shelf monitor, for example that may be added to an existing shelving system to convert a store to autonomous operation. The sensor bar may contain distance sensor to detect shoppers reaching towards items on a shelf, and cameras to determine which items shoppers have taken. It may be installed into shelf supports such as gondola shelving uprights. The sensor bar may be located at the front edge of a shelf, and may monitor the shelf below. Placing the sensor bar along the front edge prevents damage to electronics from spills or shelf cleaning, and prevents heat from the sensor bar electronics from damaging items on the shelf. The sensor bar may have a local sensor bar processor that collects sensor data; images may be analyzed locally or transferred to more powerful store processors. A sensor bar may also have controllable lights and controllable electronic labels.

Abstract: In example implementations, a fluid ejection system is provided. The fluid ejection system includes a plurality of fluid ejection devices, a sensor and a feedback system. The plurality of fluid ejection devices can distribute fluid onto a media. The sensor may analyze a line of an image formed by the fluid on the media. The feedback system can determine a respective amount of time delay for each one of the plurality of fluid ejection devices based on the line of the image on the media that is analyzed by the sensor. The respective amount of time delay is inserted into at least one sideband signal to provide a correct alignment of the fluid ejection devices when printing a subsequent line of the image on the media.

Abstract: A system having a bar containing distance sensors, such as LIDARs, that may be installed behind a shelf in an automated store. Shelves may be divided into storage zones, such as bins or lanes, and a distance sensor may measure the item quantity in each zone. Quantity changes indicate that a shopper has taken or placed items in the zone. Quantity changes may trigger analysis of camera images of the shelf to identify the items taken or replaced. The distance sensor elements within the bar may be relocatable so they can be positioned correctly behind the corresponding storage zones. The bar may have mounting mechanisms on either side for attachment to shelving support structures. These mounting mechanisms may include security locks. The bar may rotate relative to the mounting mechanisms to provide access to the shelf from behind.

Abstract: An apparatus includes an integrated circuit chip with a set of circuits having two or more subsets of circuits; an external voltage regulator separate from the integrated circuit chip; two or more integrated voltage regulators on the integrated circuit chip that each provide an input voltage to a respective subset of the circuits; and a controller. The controller determines, using an integrated voltage regulator power loss model, an electrical power loss for the integrated voltage regulators for a first combination of operating points for the subsets of the circuits. The controller then determines, based on the electrical power loss, a second combination of operating points for the subsets of the circuits that includes an adjustment to an operating point for at least one of the subsets of the circuits that compensates for an electrical power loss of the corresponding integrated voltage regulator.

The output divider has an input coupled to the output of the time-to-digital converter, and an output for providing a divided count signal representative of a value of the power supply voltage, and provides the divided count signal by dividing a fixed number by the count signal.

Abstract: A power regulator provides current to a processing unit. A clock distribution network provides a clock signal to the processing unit. A level-based droop detector monitors a voltage of the current provided to the processing unit and provides a droop detection signal to the clock distribution network in response to the voltage falling below a first threshold voltage. The clock distribution network decreases a frequency of a clock signal provided to the processing unit in response to receiving the droop detection signal. The level-based droop detector interrupts the droop detection signal that is provided to the clock distribution network in response to the voltage rising above a second threshold voltage. The clock distribution network increases the frequency of the clock signal provided to the processing unit in response to interruption of the droop detection signal.
