Abstract: Provided herein are compounds of the Formula (I): (I) and tautomers, stereoisomers and pharmaceutically acceptable salts and solvates thereof, wherein Rx, Ry, W, X, Y, Z, Ring A and (AA) have the meanings given in the specification, which are inhibitors of RET kinase and are useful in the treatment and prevention of diseases which can be treated with a RET kinase inhibitor, including RET-associated diseases and disorders.

Abstract: Devices such as multiports comprising connection ports with associated securing features and methods for making the same are disclosed. In one embodiment, the device comprises a shell, at least one connection port, at least one securing feature passageway, and at least one securing feature. The at least one connection port is disposed on the multiport with the at least one connection port comprising an optical connector opening extending from an outer surface of the multiport to a cavity of the multiport and defining a connection port passageway. The at least one securing feature is associated with the connection port passageway, and the at least one securing feature is disposed within a portion of the at least one securing feature passageway.

Abstract: A microphone assembly including an acoustic transducer that generates an electrical signal responsive to acoustic activity, and an integrated circuit electrically coupled to the acoustic transducer and that receives the electrical signal from the acoustic transducer and generate an output signal representative of the acoustic activity. The microphone assembly also includes a substrate comprising a first surface on which the integrated circuit is mounted, a guard ring mounted on the substrate and elevated relative to the first surface of the substrate, and a can mounted to the guard ring, wherein the can, the guard ring, and the substrate form a housing in which the transducer and integrated circuit are disposed.

Abstract: An improved approach is described to implement trim data representation for an electronic design. Instead of maintaining a gap shape object for every gap in the layout, existing objects adjacent to the gap location are configured to include attributes of the gap shape. The properties of the gap shape can then be derived from the adjacent objects.
