  • Publication number: 20240133825
    Abstract: Methods and systems for inspecting a specimen are provided. One system includes an inspection subsystem configured for directing light to an area on the specimen and for generating output responsive to light from the area on the specimen. The system also includes a first gas flow subsystem configured for replacing a gas in a first local volume surrounding the area on the specimen with a first medium that scatters less of the light than the gas. In addition, the system includes a second gas flow subsystem configured for replacing the gas in a second local volume proximate the first local volume with a second medium different than the first medium. The system further includes a computer subsystem configured for detecting abnormalities on the specimen based on the output.

  • Publication number: 20220232899
    Abstract: A detection method for detecting intake of an aerosol-forming substrate, applicable to an electronic vaporization device, includes: obtaining an air pressure value in an airflow channel of the electronic vaporization device, the airflow channel flowing vapor generated by the electronic vaporization device for ease of inhaling, the vapor being generated through vaporization of an aerosol-forming substrate in the electronic vaporization device; calculating intake of the aerosol-forming substrate according to the air pressure value; and reminding a user according to the intake, or adjusting operating parameters of the electronic vaporization device according to the intake.

  • Publication number: 20220047562
    Abstract: The invention relates to the treatment of cognitive impairment associated with schizophrenia (CIAS) with a specific GlyT1 inhibitor ([5-(methylsulfonyl)-2-{[(2R)-1,1,1-trifluoropropan-2-yl]oxy}phenyl]{(1R,5R)-1-[5-(trifluoromethyl)-1,2-oxazol-3-yl]-3-azabicyclo[3.1.0]hex-3-yl}methanone). A 12-week treatment in a phase 2 study showed improvement in cognitive function as measured by the MATRICS Consensus Cognitive Battery (MCCB) overall composite score.
