  • Defective Transmit Chain Mitigation
    Publication number: 20230327719
    Abstract: In the case that several transmitting elements (e.g., a Tx chain) are simultaneously impaired, at least two different layouts are possible: the defected Tx chains are randomly scattered around the array; or, the defected Tx chains are aligned vertically on a random column (for 12 and 24 defected Tx chains—1 and 2 such columns are randomly chosen, respectively). It can be seen that the throughput is worse when the defected Tx chains are aligned in a column rather than randomly scattered, unless the defective Tx chains are known, in which case it is the opposite. This is because disabling an entire column has the most significant effect on the spatial null steering. When defected Tx chains are known the performance of all layouts are almost the same, though column yields slightly better results due to the antenna subarrays (2 vertical antennas have the same feed, therefore we lose less degrees of freedom).

  • Abuse and misuse deterrent transdermal systems
    Patent number: 11759431
    Abstract: An abuse deterrent and misuse deterrent transdermal patch comprising aversive agents incorporated in the backing layer of the patch. The aversive agents can exhibit biphasic or sustained kinetics of release with an immediate portion released rapidly and an extended portion released in a prolonged manner when exposed to a dissolution medium. The prolonged aversive agent release provides deterrence against extraction of drug from fresh and used patches and serves to prevent accidental misuse of used patches by children. The abuse deterrent and misuse deterrent patch systems can be used for transdermal delivery of therapeutically active agents and particularly those drugs that are highly prone to abuse such as opiate and opioid analgesics and stimulants.
