  • Publication number: 20240342198
    Abstract: The present technology relates to a method of treating one or more behavioral symptoms of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in a subject by administering an effective amount of cannabidiol (CBD). Specifically, subjects having moderate to severe ASD and relatively high social avoidance and/or anxiety are more likely to show a reduction in irritability when treated with CBD.

  • Patent number: 12031803
    Abstract: An arena test system for characterizing fragments from a warhead. An entry panel and an exit panel are arranged in a wedge configuration with a wedge-shaped air space between them. Fragments are imaged as they pass through this wedge. A soft catch box is located behind the exit panel such that fragments that pass through the exit panel enter the soft catch box and are decelerated within the soft catch box.

  • Patent number: 11526444
    Abstract: A method for facilitating predictive caching of data is provided. The method includes retrieving raw data relating to user activity for a plurality of users, the user activity including a history of web resources accessed by a user; converting the raw data into a structured data set based on a predetermined criterion; generating a model based on the structured data set; training the model by using a training data set, the training data set including the user activity for a predetermined period of time; determining, by using the trained model, a predicted first web resource for the user; and automatically caching, in a memory, the predicted first web resource.

  • Publication number: 20210379603
    Abstract: An engineered collection medium for use in mineral separation is described. The engineered collection medium has a solid phase body configured with a three-dimensional open-cell structure like foam or sponge to provide collection surfaces. The three-dimensional surface structure is made of a hydrophobic material which is a reaction product of isocyanate and polyol promotes the attraction of mineral particles to the collection surfaces as a hydrophobic foam. The hydrophobic foam can be in the form of a cube, sphere, or sheet and can be used in a filter or conveyor belt in a processor.

  • Patent number: 11135597
    Abstract: A synthetic bead for use in mineral separation is described. The synthetic bead has a surface made of a synthetic material such as polymer and the synthetic material is functionalized with molecules having a functional group for attaching mineral particles to the surface in a separation process. The synthetic beads can be placed in flotation cell containing a mixture of water, valuable material and unwanted material or in a pipeline where the mixture is transported from one location to another. The enriched synthetic beads carrying the mineral particles are separated from the unwanted materials in the mixture. The mineral particles are then released from the synthetic beads by means of low pH treatment, ultrasonic agitation, thermal or electromagnetic treatment.
