    Abstract: A method for fabricating a neutron detector includes providing an epilayer wafer of Boron-10 enriched hexagonal boron nitride (h-10BN or h-BN or 10BN or BN) having a thickness (t), dicing or cutting the epilayer wafer into one or more BN strips having a width (W) and a length (L), and depositing a first metal contact on a first surface of at least one of the BN strip and a second metal contact on a second surface of the at least one BN strip. The neutron detector includes an electrically insulating submount, a BN epilayer of Boron-10 enriched hexagonal boron nitride (h-10BN or h-BN or 10BN or BN) placed on the insulating submount, a first metal contact deposited on a first surface of the BN epilayer, and a second metal contact deposited on a second surface of the BN epilayer.

    Abstract: Disclosed is a composition and method for a therapeutic treatment that is able to combat neuroinflammation caused by diseases and disorders such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and traumatic brain injury. The class of urea compounds acts by blocking at targeted receptors in the brain that contribute to the increase in inflammation. Combinations of receptors, H1 receptor, H2 receptor, dopamine transporter (DAT), and/or 5HT3C receptor, are individually and/or collectively inhibited by the same compositions of the present disclosure, and this ability leads to a decrease in brain edema. The DAT inhibitory effects additionally maintains dopamine levels in a patient.

    Abstract: A method and system for an endotracheal tube or tracheostomy a tube formed with a hole, a cuff connected to the tube and formed around the hole, and a skirt connected to the tube above the cuff and draped over the cuff. A coating of a hydrophobic, lipophobic, and oleophobic substance can be disposed on the interior and exterior surface of the tube, the cuff, and the skirt. A stylet and siring may be used to secure the skirt during insertion in a detachable fashion. The string is retractable on withdrawal of the stylet.

    Abstract: The present invention provides a method of hydraulically fracturing a well penetrating an subterranean formation by optimizing the spacing of fractures along a wellbore to form a complex network of hydraulically connected fractures by identifying a deviated wellbore in a subterranean formation; introducing a series of fractures in the deviated wellbore, wherein the series of fractures comprising at least a first fracture, a second fracture, a third fracture and a fourth fracture each separated by a non-uniformed and an increased spacing distance such that the spacing distance from each adjacent fracture in the series of fractures is at an increased distance; and forming one or more complex fractures extending from the series of fractures to form a complex fracture network.

    Abstract: Diagnostic tool for eye disease detection using a smartphone. At least some of the example embodiments are methods including capturing, by way of a camera lens on a device, an image of an eye to create a raw specimen; processing the raw specimen to create a processes specimen; performing edge detection on the processed specimen to detect a boundary of a cornea; extracting a region of interest of the cornea; identifying a boundary of the region of interest using a boundary tracing technique to identify a second boundary; analyzing the second boundary of the region of interest, by measuring a slope of the second boundary; and classifying the region of interest as including an eye disease, based on the analyzing the second boundary.
