Abstract: Multi-drug resistant tuberculosis (TB) is a major public health problem concerning about half a million cases each year. Patients hardly adhere to the current strict treatment consisting of more than 10,000 tablets over a 2-year period. There is a clear need for efficient and better-formulated medications. The inventors have previously shown that nanoparticles made of cross-linked poly--cyclodextrins (pβCD) are efficient vehicles for pulmonary delivery of powerful combinations of anti-TB drugs. Here, they report that in addition to be efficient drug carriers, pβCD nanoparticles are endowed with intrinsic antibacterial properties. Indeed, empty pβCD are able to impair M. tuberculosis (Mtb) establishment after pulmonary administration in mice. pβCD hamper colonisation of macrophages by Mtb by interfering with lipid rafts, without inducing toxicity. Moreover, pβCD provoke macrophage apoptosis leading to depletion of infected cells, thus creating a lung micro-environment detrimental to Mtb persistence. Taken together, the results suggest that materials made of cross-linked β- cyclodextrins (e.g. nanoparticles) loaded or not with antibiotics play an antibacterial action by its own and could be used as carrier in drug regimen formulations effective against TB.20

Abstract: To obtain a relative localization between a plurality of mobile devices, a first mobile device observes a second mobile device within a field of view of the first mobile device's camera at time t1, determines a first position of the first mobile device at t1, and receives from the second mobile device a second position of the second mobile device at t1. The first mobile device determines information about the first mobile device's orientation with respect to the second mobile device at t1 based at least in part on the first position and the observation of the second mobile device. The first mobile device identifies two constraints that relate the mobile devices' coordinate systems based at least in part on the second position and the orientation information. The first mobile device's pose relative to the second mobile device may be calculated once at least six constraints are accumulated.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments verifying legitimate victim-aggressor pairs in remote interference management operation. In an embodiment, a first even report is generated by a victim base station based detection of an atmospheric duct and it transmits a victim reference signal with the first event report. The first event report includes an ID of the victim base station. An aggressor base station is triggered to begin monitoring for transmission of the victim reference signal. The aggressor base station sends a second event report if it detects the victim reference signal. The central entity tries to verify that the victim and aggressor are legitimate. If the verification passes, then the central entity sends a message to the aggressor to start of remote interference mitigation. If verification fails, the remote interference mitigation is not triggered and the victim reference signal is ignored.

Abstract: The invention provides a method for producing photochromic silicone hydrogel (SiHy) contact lenses based on thermal cast-molding technology in a relatively efficient and consistent manner. The method is characterized by selecting a high radical-reactive hydrophilic acrylic monomer while eliminating any low radical-reactive hydrophilic N-vinyl amide monomer in a lens formulation (polymerizable composition), by selecting a weight ratio of low-radical-reactive hydrophilic N-vinyl amide monomer to a high radical- reactive hydrophilic acrylic monomer in a lens formulation if the low radical-reactive hydrophilic N- vinyl amide monomer is needed, and/or by using a relatively high temperature thermal initiator in a lens formulation, to control the lens properties (e.g., water content, elastic modulus, etc.) and lens processability (capability of dry-delensing from molds) of thermally cast-molded SiHy contact lenses while minimizing loss in photochromic ability of resultant SiHy contact lenses.
