Powered exoskeletons comprising a hybrid braided-composite shear interface
Patent published on the 2025-03-06 in WO under Ref WO2025049489 by DEPHY INC [US] (Mooney Luke [us], Marvin William [us], Cummings Jonathan [us], Herr Hugh [us])
Abstract: An ankle-foot exoskeleton to augment motion of a user is provided. The ankle-foot exoskeleton can include a braided structure configured to at least partially encapsulate a lower limb of the user, the braided structure configured to extend from at least below a knee of the lower limb of the user to at least above an ankle of the lower limb. The ankle-foot exoskeleton can include one or more actuators mechanically integrated with the braided structure. The ankle-foot exoskeleton can include one o[...]
Our summary: An ankle-foot exoskeleton with a hybrid braided-composite shear interface is provided to augment user motion through integrated actuators and processors.

Methods and compositions for reducing foreign body response
Patent published on the 2025-03-06 in WO under Ref WO2025049603 by THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE LELAND STANFORD JUNIOR UNIV [US] (Griffin Michelle [us], Liang Norah [us], Parker Jennifer [us], Tevlin Ruth [us], Meany Emily [us], Longaker Michael [us], Momeni Arash [us], Wan Derrick [us], Appel Eric A [us])
Abstract: Methods of reducing foreign body response (FBR) in a subject are provided. Aspects of the methods include implanting a foreign body, e.g., an implantable device, in the subject in combination with an effective amount of an SPP1 active agent, e.g., a SPP1 polypeptide, to reduce FBR in the subject. Also provided are implantable devices coated with a SPP1 active agent composition, e.g., a controlled release composition, and kits including an implantable device and a SPP1 active agent composition.[...]

Application of pip5k6 gene in regulating ricinus communis l. characters
Patent published on the 2025-02-19 in LU under Ref LU508032 by INNER MONGOLIA MINZU UNIV [CN] (Huang Fenglan [cn])
Abstract: The invention discloses an application of PIP5K6 gene in regulating Ricinus communis L. characters, belonging to the technical field of plant genetic engineering. The characters include plant height, pollen, seeds, number of leaves, stems and flowers, maturity speed of male flowers and fruits, and plant aging speed. The invention promotes the early flowering of Ricinus communis L. and the development of flowers and fruits by overexpressing PIP5K6 gene; male flowers have bigger buds, darker color[...]
