  • Publication number: 20240058216
    Abstract: A drug delivery system includes a container comprising a luer compartment and a fluid compartment, a luer fitting arranged within the luer compartment and in fluidic communication with the fluid compartment, and a dispenser in fluidic communication with the fluid compartment. A method of aseptically transferring a drug to such a drug delivery system may include providing a vial comprising the drug to be transferred, withdrawing a volume of the drug from the vial with a syringe, coupling the syringe to a drug delivery system via the luer fitting, transferring the drug from the syringe to the drug delivery system, and decoupling the syringe from the drug delivery system.

  • Patent number: 11861287
    Abstract: Aspects of the invention include setting a fill mode for a border region of a layer of a macro of an integrated circuit. The border region has a depth defined by a multiple of the size of a tile used to select an area of the integrated circuit for implementation of a design rule check, and the fill mode indicates a fill percentage value or level of fill to be implemented in the border region of the layer of the macro. A fill of the border region of the layer of the macro is performed based on the fill mode. The integrated circuit is finalized and fabricated based on the performing of the fill and passing the design rule check.

  • Publication number: 20230238280
    Abstract: Embodiments are for using adaptive fill techniques to avoid electromigration, thereby resulting in electromigration signoff. A wire segment failing to meet an electromigration current limit is determined on an integrated circuit (IC). Fill shapes are connected adjacent to the wire segment to cause the wire segment to meet the electromigration current limit. The fill shapes are non-functional shapes on the IC.

  • Publication number: 20230214573
    Abstract: Embodiments include thermally coupled aware device placement in the schematic design stage of the development of an integrated circuit. Aspects of the invention include obtaining a schematic design of a macro, the schematic design including a plurality of devices disposed within the macro. Aspects also include determining an initial temperature for each of the plurality of devices, where the initial temperature due to self-heating. Aspects further include determining, iteratively for each of the plurality of devices, an uplift temperature, where the uplift temperature for a first device of the plurality of devices is determined based on the initial temperature of each of the other plurality of devices and a distance between the first device and each of the other plurality of devices as encoded in the schematic design. Aspects also include modifying the schematic design of the macro based on a determination that the uplift temperature of at least one of the plurality of devices is above a threshold value.

  • Publication number: 20160297851
    Abstract: Arylomycin analogs are provided, wherein the analogs can have broad spectrum bioactivity. Resistance to the antibiotic bioactivity of natural product arylomycin in a range of pathogenic bacterial species has been found to depend upon single amino acid mutations at defined positions of bacterial Signal Peptidases (SPases), wherein the presence of a proline residue confers arylomycin resistance. Arylomycin analogs are provided herein that can overcome that resistance and provide for a broader spectrum of antibiotic bioactivity than can natural product arylomycins such as arylomycin A2. Methods for determining if a bacterial strain is susceptible to narrow spectrum arylomycin antibiotics, or if a broad spectrum analog is required for treatment, is provided. Pharmaceutical compositions and methods of treatment of bacterial infections, and methods of synthesis of arylomycin analogs, are provided.
