  • Publication number: 20240085436
    Abstract: The present invention provides a kit of a related marker for a central neurodegenerative disease and a detection method thereof. The kit uses a double antibody sandwich detection method, and can simultaneously detect 5 Alzheimer disease-related proteins in the same sample. An A microsphere labeled with a rabbit antibody is adopted, shaking is conducted in an incubation process, and an incubating agent, including polyol, a polymer, a nonionic surfactant and a chelating agent, is added. The aforementioned components cooperate with each other to achieve a long-term effect of maintaining suspension of the microspheres, so as to promote the reaction in the incubation process, reduce the formation of microsphere agglomeration and reduce non-specific binding. The Fc fragment of a detection antibody is removed, and thus the interference with a non-specific reaction is excluded.

  • Publication number: 20240088985
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may communicate with a network entity using one or more directional beams. The UE may detect a beam failure associated with at least one of the one or more directional beams, and the UE may calculate a duration between a detected beam failure and a subsequent random access occasion. The UE may transmit a beam failure recovery (BFR) message indicating the detected beam failure to the network entity or to a second UE based on whether the calculated duration satisfies a threshold duration. For example, the UE may transmit the BFR message to the second UE when the calculated duration is greater than or equal to the threshold duration. Alternatively, the UE may transmit the BFR message to the network entity when the calculated duration is less than the threshold duration.
