  • Publication number: 20250240571
    Abstract: Systems, methods, devices and non-transitory, computer-readable storage mediums are disclosed for location-tracking wireless devices. In an embodiment, a method performed by an electronic device comprises: playing, or initiating the playing of, a sound through a loudspeaker of an accessory device via a communication link. The sound is played at a specified frequency that utilizes a frequency response of the loudspeaker (or loudspeaker plus speaker enclosure). The sound is received through two or more microphones of the electronic device and filtered by one or more filters. The one or more filters are configured to pass the sound at or around the specified frequency and to reduce masking of the sound by ambient noise. The filtered sound is associated with direction data generated from sensor data provided by one or more inertial sensors of the electronic device. In another embodiment, the specified frequency is higher than the maximum human hearing range.

  • Publication number: 20240226053
    Abstract: A controlled release pharmaceutical composition for eye injection for ophthalmic care. The composition comprises at least one active pharmaceutical ingredient and at least one biocompatible polymer and at least one biocompatible solvent. The composition, which is capable of forming an in-situ implant composition, comprises an injectable solution, suspension, emulsion or dispersion. The formulation can be injected through a needle that is suitable in size for an eye injection. The present compositions can be used for treatment of ophthalmic conditions, including glaucoma, dry and wet age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, dry eye syndrome, and uveitis.

  • Publication number: 20240183899
    Abstract: Described herein are examples of a system, composed of a unique combination and/or customization of subsystems, components and methods of measuring detecting, isolating, and analyzing continuous and intermittent electromechanical failures in vehicle electronics interconnections equipment by applying relevant environmental forces to replicate operational stressors on electronics interconnection equipment to rigorously and exhaustively reproduce failures as if in operational use so that they may be identified, located, and repaired. As environmental stressors are applied, testing failure data is produced by measuring variances of expected voltages across conductive paths, with or without components, of the electromechanical equipment. The system produces comprehensive analyses, reports on all failure indications supported by heuristics, and statistics and applies machine learning techniques of each failure of each serial numbered UUT over time to improve the operational reliability of systems.
