  • Publication number: 20220317820
    Abstract: Visibility of the metal mesh touch electrodes can be mitigated using one or more mitigation techniques. In some examples, the boundary between touch electrodes and/or the boundary between a touch electrode and a routing trace of another touch electrode and/or the boundary between two routing traces can be non-linear. In some examples, dummy cuts can be made within an area of a touch electrode region (e.g., while maintaining the same electrical potential for the touch electrode region). In some examples, notches can be made in the metal mesh. In some examples, the location of cuts and/or notches can be optimized to mitigate visibility of the metal mesh. In some examples, some or all of the visibility mitigations may be used in combination in a touch screen.

  • Publication number: 20220259658
    Abstract: The disclosure provides a miRNA marker for the treatment and/or diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (AD), and the miRNA marker is a miRNA23 cluster. The disclosure provides use of the miRNA23 cluster in the diagnosis and treatment of AD. The expression of the miRNA23 cluster is detected using primers for the microRNA marker through AD model cells, AD model animals and natural aging animals, and blood of AD patients, and it is found that the expression of the miRNA23 cluster is significantly reduced during the progression of AD, which reduces neuronal apoptosis by inhibiting the GSK-3?-mediated tau protein phosphorylation. Therefore, the miRNA23 cluster can be used as a novel biomarker and therapeutic target for the early, non-invasive diagnosis and treatment of AD.

  • Patent number: 11417709
    Abstract: A display may have an array of pixels. Each pixel may have a light-emitting diode such as an organic light-emitting diode. The organic light-emitting diodes may each have an anode that is coupled to a thin-film transistor pixel circuit for controlling the anode. Transparent windows may be formed in the display. The windows may be formed by replacing data storage capacitors and other pixel circuit structures in a subset of the pixels with transparent window structures, by selectively removing portions of light-emitting diode anodes, and by shifting anodes. An array of electrical components such as an array of light sensors may be aligned with the transparent windows and may be used to measure light passing through the transparent windows.

  • Patent number: 11400079
    Abstract: Bromine induced lactamization of vinyl acetohydroxamates facilitated syntheses of monocyclic ?-lactams suitable for incorporation of a thiomethyl and extended functionality at the C(4) position. Elaboration of the resulting substituted N-hydroxy-2-azetidinones allowed incorporation of functionalized ?-amino substituents appropriate for enhancement of antibiotic activity. Evaluation of antibacterial activity against a panel of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria revealed structure-activity-relationships (SAR) and identification of potent new monobactam antibiotics. The corresponding bis-catechol conjugate, 42, has excellent activity against Gram-negative bacteria including carbapenemase and carbacephalosporinase producing strains of Acinetobacter baumannii which have been listed by the WHO as being of critical concern worldwide.
