Abstract: Aspects of a method and system for multi-level security initialization and configuration are provided. A security system may comprise a security processor, a host processor, and at least one security component, such as a descrambler. The security processor may enable a security component based on information stored within a non-volatile memory integrated within the security processor. The host processor may enable generation of at least one configuration command communicated to the security processor for configuring the enabled security component. The configuration command may correspond to a security control operational mode for the security component that may indicate, for example, activation or deactivation of the security component. The security processor may authenticate a digital signature in the configuration command. Initialization and configuration may be performed during a system boot sequence of the security system.

Abstract: Provided herein are methods for preventing and/or reducing the severity of drug induced ototoxicity. Provided herein are methods for recovery from hearing loss due to drug-induced ototoxicity.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to tertiary amine co-initiators that demonstrate reduced leaching and which may be utilized in dental restoration and other biomedical applications. Embodiments of the present disclosure provide compounds and compositions for use in preparing polymers and light curable dental resin composites, as well as methods for preparing photocurable polymer-based dental restorative materials. In one or more disclosed embodiments, a co-initiator for use in preparing a polymer comprises a tertiary amine core and two or more pendant, terminal methacrylate groups. In some embodiments, the co-initiator may also act as a co-monomer in a co-polymerization reaction.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are compositions and methods for the treatment of otic diseases or conditions with antimicrobial agent compositions and formulations administered locally to an individual afflicted with an otic disease or condition, through direct application of these compositions and formulations onto or via perfusion into the targeted auris structure(s).

Abstract: Disclosed herein are auris acceptable gel compositions containing a multiparticulate glutamate receptor antagonist, and methods for the treatment of otic diseases or conditions through intratympanic administration of the composition to an individual afflicted with an otic disease or condition.

Abstract: A hook assembly includes a substrate having three tabs arranged in a triangular configuration, a hook including a pair of opposing side flaps, and a tripod mounting member configured to couple the hook to the substrate. The tripod mounting member includes three legs arranged in a triangular configuration, a pair of opposing side plates extending from two rear legs of the three legs, and a stopper groove. The three legs of the tripod mounting member correspond to the three tabs of the substrate. The hook assembly also includes a torsion spring having a pair of arms extending from opposite ends of the torsion spring, a first fastener configured to couple the tripod mounting member to the substrate, and a second fastener configured to extend through the side plates of the tripod mounting member and the side flaps of the hook to rotatably couple the hook to the tripod mounting member.
