Abstract: Some embodiments provide a method of treating skeletal muscular myopathy, e.g., Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), with cardiosphere-derived cells (CDCs), wherein a therapeutically effective amount of CDCs is delivered to a targeted dystrophic skeletal muscle. Some embodiment enable delivery of a therapeutically effective amount of CDCs via intramuscular injection directly at a skeletal muscle or systemic administration, e.g., intravenous injection, in a single dose or multiple doses, to treat a targeted dystrophic skeletal muscle. Some embodiments provide a method for improving exercise capabilities in DMD patients. Additional embodiments relate to exosome mediated transfer of noncoding RNAs ameliorates Duchenne muscular dystrophy by restoring dystrophin in heart and skeletal muscle. Delivery of noncoding RNA species found in CDC-derived exosomes mimics the ability of CDCs and CDC-derived exosomes to increase dystrophin protein levels.

Abstract: The present teachings describe a printhead assembly. The printhead assembly includes a first plate and a second plate stacked together. The printhead assembly includes a first adhesive between the first plate and the second plate for bonding the plates together. The printhead assembly includes a second adhesive surrounding an outer edge of the first adhesive wherein the second adhesive has an oxygen migration rate lower than an oxygen migration rate of the first adhesive. An oxygen sensitive component is contained within the outer edge of the first adhesive.

Abstract: A personal vaporizer has a vaporization chamber within a main body interior, a vaporization heating element disposed within the vaporization chamber, an air flow passage from one or more air intake openings in the case wall to the vaporization chamber, and a vaporization mixture flow passage from the vaporization chamber to an exit port. The personal vaporizer also has a liquid reservoir and a liquid transport arrangement for transporting vaporizable liquid from the liquid reservoir to the vaporization chamber. The liquid transport arrangement has a liquid flow duct extending from the reservoir exit port and a piezoelectric pump. The piezoelectric pump is operatively connected to the liquid flow duct for drawing the vaporizable liquid from the reservoir, through the liquid flow duct, and into the vaporization chamber through a nozzle so that liquid exiting the nozzle is heated by the vaporization heating surface.

Abstract: An ink collecting system has been developed to direct ink purged from a printhead positioned above an ink collecting tray along a stepped flow path into the ink collecting tray. The stepped flow path enables the purged ink to flow from a faceplate on the jet stack, around a junction, onto a lower surface of the jet stack, and to a curved lower flange of a reservoir housing, which directs the ink away from the faceplate before the ink drops into the ink collecting tray for disposal or reuse.

Abstract: A personalization engine for rules and knowledge includes an automatic campaign generation engine and a campaign execution engine. The automatic campaign engine detects desirable patterns of raw data, dynamically creates rule-sets, selects and applies a rule-set to an execution application, and measures an effectiveness of the applied rule-set. The campaign execution engine produces recommended results and generates an explanation for each result. The automatic campaign generation engine detects desirable pattern of raw data by determining data points that act as decision drivers and are most likely to provide desirable information. The automatic campaign generation engine measures an effectiveness of an applied rule-set by keeping track of which rules and which conditions are triggered when a rule-set is applied, and revalidating the rules against new data to ensure the rules are still accurate.
