    Abstract: The present disclosure provides an arctigenin liquid nano-preparation and a preparation method thereof, and relates to the technical field of pharmaceutical preparation. In the present disclosure, arctigenin is prepared into a liquid nano-preparation, having advantages of distribution of a droplet diameter on nanoscale, significantly increased specific surface area, rapid absorption, and high bioavailability. Meanwhile, nano-preparation entered the body can be captured by wandering leucocytes, and a medicament is delivered to inflammatory lesions through chemiotaxis, thereby conferring a targeted drug delivery feature on the arctigenin and making a therapy more targeted. Moreover, in the present disclosure, the arctigenin is dissolved in an oil phase, and the oil phase is dissolved in water by emulsification to further make the arctigenin dissolve in the water and increase water solubility of the arctigenin.

  • Patent number: 11812333
    Abstract: A device and method for a user equipment (UE) to implement power savings mechanisms when operating within a significant location. The UE identifies that the UE is at a significant location. The significant location is a location relative to a currently camped cell of a network. At a first time and at the significant location, the UE performs a type of operation related to the network connection. The UE stores information corresponding to the performance of the type of operation at the first time in a profile associated with the significant location. At a second time and at the significant location, the UE performs the type of operation related to the network connection. The performance of the type of operation at the second time is modified based on the information stored in the profile associated with the significant location.

  • Publication number: 20230304893
    Abstract: A detection system includes a loadcell connected to a gear and motor of a crystal puller apparatus to measure force applied to the gear in a time domain. The data is analyzed though a Fourier transform to obtain data in the frequency domain. The frequency domain data includes an amplitude which corresponds to mechanical wear of the gear. The time domain data is compared against a threshold amplitude to determine if the gears have mechanical wear such that preventative maintenance can be performed on the motor.
