Abstract: A rectifying arrangement for an LED driver comprising a rectifying circuit and a clamping arrangement provides a low-impedance path between input terminals of the rectifying circuit in response to an abnormal operation of the rectifying arrangement, such as an open circuit of one rectifying branch of the rectifying arrangement. The low-impedance path is maintained for a plurality of cycles of an AC power supply provided to the rectifying circuit, and can be maintained on a (semi-)permanent basis.

Abstract: A lamp comprises an input for connection to a high frequency ballast for gas discharge lamps. A power supply unit obtains power from a LED on voltage of the LED of the lamp, and the power supply unit powers an isolation switch at the input. During a preheat stage of the ballast, the power supply unit does not close the isolation switch, but the isolation switch is closed when the high frequency ballast is in a later state, i.e. the ignition phase.

Abstract: Described herein is hydrogel composition, wherein the hydrogel is loaded with bacterial particles including a gasdermin D (GSDMD) protein cage conjugated to a surface thereof, and nanoparticles loaded with an ESCRT inhibitor. The hydrogel can be formulated as an injectable hydrogel for treatment at the site of a primary or metastatic tumor. Alternatively, the hydrogel can be formulated as a thermosensitive hydrogel for implantation at the site of an inoperable cancer.
