Abstract: Neonatal seizure is different from adult seizure, and many anti epileptic drugs that are effective in adults often fail to treat neonatal seizure. Gluconic acid, a natural organic acid enriched in fruits and honey, and the glucose oxidase enzyme, is shown herein to potently inhibit neonatal epilepsy both in vitro and in vivo. Sodium gluconate is shown to inhibit epileptiform burst activity in cell cultures and protect neurons from kainic acid-induced cell death. Sodium gluconate also inhibited epileptiform burst activity in brain slices in a manner that was much more potent in neonatal animals than in older animals. Consistently, in vivo EEC recordings also revealed that sodium gluconate inhibited the epileptic seizure activity in a manner that was much more potent in neonates than in adult animals. Mechanistically, sodium gluconate inhibits voltage-dependent CLC-3 C1? channels both in neuronal cultures and in hippocampal slices.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for hardware-based read sample averaging in a data storage device. In one example, a read channel circuit including a buffer memory is configured to receive a read instruction to read a selected sector, obtain detected sample values for the selected sector, and determine whether the read instruction corresponds to a re-read operation for the selected sector based on determining whether there are stored samples for the selected sector already stored to a locked buffer entry of the buffer memory. When there are stored sample values stored to the locked buffer entry, the example read channel circuit determines the re-read operation is occurring, and performs read sample averaging based on the detected sample values and the stored sample values to produce averaged sample values. Other examples and configurations are also described.

Abstract: Synthetic object detection data is generated for a modeled sensor, such as a camera. Scenario data specifying objects, such as vehicles, sensor intrinsics, such as focal length, principal point, and image size, and sensor extrinsics, such location and orientation in the scenario of the sensor, may be received. An object detector model may detect a given object in the scenario if it lies within the sensor's field of view, is large enough, and is not occluded. Two dimensional (2D) image plane position and velocity measurements may be generated. A measurement noise model may add noise to the measurements. Position, velocity, and measurement noise may be mapped into a three dimensional (3D) world coordinate system. An object detection list that includes time of detection, detected position and velocity, measurement accuracy, and an object classification for detected objects may be output.
