Abstract: Embodiments of the invention include a wakeup receiver (WRX) featuring a charge-domain analog front end (AFE) with parallel radio frequency (RF) rectifier, charge-transfer summation amplifier (CTSA), and successive approximation analog-to-digital converter (SAR ADC) stages. The WRX operates at very low power and exhibits above-average sensitivity, random pulsed interferer rejections, and yield over process.
Abstract: The proposed antenna structure has first and second asymmetric radiated-strip structures developed by modifying the structure of a printed T-type monopole. Specifically, by combining the radiated-strip and the shorting-line, the proposed antenna structure is similar to modified Type III balun and dipole fed by microstrip-line structure. Hence, the proposed antenna structure can also be regarded as a “quasi-balanced” antenna structure.
Abstract: Pre-processing is applied to a raw VideoSAR (or similar near-video rate) product to transform the image frame sequence into a product that resembles more closely the type of product for which conventional video codecs are designed, while sufficiently maintaining utility and visual quality of the product delivered by the codec.
Abstract: Anti-carbohydrate antibodies are detected by (a) contacting an array of oligomannose-serum albumin conjugates immobilized on a substrate with an antibody-containing serum sample under conditions wherein TM10 antibodies bind the oligomannose of the conjugates at at least micromolar affinity; and (b) detecting resultant binding of specific antibodies of the sample to the oligomannose of the conjugates, as indicative of the anti-carbohydrate antibodies.
Abstract: An MR scanner with a setting mechanism for patient-dependent control of the radio-frequency fields and magnetic fields for adhering to individual SAR and dB/dt limits, has an optical measuring device containing a distance sensor for determining the surface of a patient and for determining a setting signal for the setting mechanism.
Abstract: The present disclosure provides a hybrid ligand molecule. The hybrid ligand molecule has two antibody combining sites. The first antibody combining site binds to an effector cell receptor complex structure of an effector cell. The second antibody combining site is a target cell-specific antibody combining site. The first and second antibody combining sites are linked.

Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure concern methods and compositions of treating or preventing viral infection, including of SARS-CoV-2, for example. In specific embodiments, one or more adjuvants are delivered to an individual receiving and/or having received fibroblasts and/or fibroblast-derived exosomes. In specific cases, the adjuvants comprise particular peptides, chloroquine and/or hydroxychloroquine, and/or one or more activators of one or more toll like receptors.
Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the polyol-type synthesis of nanoparticulate magnetite starting from mixtures of Fe0 and Fe1III in the presence of a mineral acid. The magnetite particles obtainable from the process have uniform size characteristics and have even presented higher SAR (Specific Absorption Rate) values than those of magnetosomes.

Abstract: Catalysts, methods, and systems for treating diesel engine exhaust streams are described. In one or more embodiments, the catalyst comprises a molecular sieve having a silica to alumina ratio (SAR) less than about 30, the molecular sieve including ion-exchanged copper and ion-exchanged platinum. Systems including such catalysts and methods of treating exhaust gas are also provided.
Abstract: A self-reporting system and system for personal pathogen status verifying allows an entity to control access to an area of congregation (AOC) at one or more points of entry (POE) is a configurable manner. In one embodiment, the system may be used for the SARS-CoV-2 virus, but may be similarly used for other pathogens.
Abstract: Methods and apparatus related to providing an indication to a user that a task may be completed based on the values of one or more dynamic attributes of an entity related to the task. An entity is determined based on information that is associated with the task. An indication related to completion of the task is provided to the user when the value of one or more dynamic attributes of the entity is one or more states.

Abstract: A supervised testing system and system for personal pathogen status verifying allows an entity to control access to an area of congregation (AOC) at one or more points of entry (POE) is a configurable manner. In one embodiment, the system may be used for the SARS-CoV-2 virus, but may be similarly used for other pathogens.
Abstract: Composition and methods for treatment or prevention of a respiratory infection in a mammal, including a viral infection, like a coronavirus such as severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), or variants thereof. The compositions and methods include a therapeutically effective amount of about a 1% solution of N-chlorotaurine in water. The methods include administering N-chlorotaurine by nasal spray to the nostrils, by oral spray to the throat, and by nebulizer to the lungs.
Abstract: An analog-to-digital converter (ADC) circuit including error correction circuitry for correcting offset drifts in an ADC, such as a successive approximation register (SAR) ADC. The offset drifts can be reduced, such as by sampling the offset following an analog-to-digital conversion and subsequently providing an error correction signal based on the sampled offset.
