An innovative method uses algae to capture carbon dioxide from the air by introducing them into clouds, helping to combat climate change. This approach is cost-effective, simple to implement, and has the potential to remove large amounts of CO2 from the atmosphere. By deploying this technology widely, we could achieve a carbon-neutral environment and potentially reverse the effects of climate change within a decade.
Published: 2024-04-04 Assignee: ImmunityBio, Inc..Nant COVID vaccine cross reactivity
A new COVID vaccine has been developed that not only targets the SARS-CoV2 virus but also shows effectiveness against other coronaviruses like SARS-CoV1, MERS-CoV, OC43-CoV, and HKU1-CoV. This vaccine can stimulate the production of memory B cells and T cells that can recognize and fight off a variety of coronaviruses. The cross-reactivity of this vaccine covers a broad spectrum of different coronaviruses, making it a promising tool in combating future outbreaks.
Published: 2024-04-04 Assignee: AMAZON TECHNOLOGIES, INC..SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DYNAMIC PRODUCT SUMMARY IMAGES
A new system has been developed to show dynamic images summarizing product information quickly and clearly. These images can be seen on product pages or search results, using visual icons to give customers key details about the product. Each user may see different icons based on what is most important to them, making it easier to find important information without searching through the whole page.

A new method has been developed to deliver therapeutic substances inside the body using a system called CRISPR-based cascade. This method can activate specific genes and targets within cells, allowing for precise treatment. The system is designed to target specific cells while delivering the necessary components to activate the therapeutic effects.
Published: 2024-04-04Carbon Capture by Algal Inoculation of Ocean Ice and/or Sea Ice
This invention is a low-cost solution that uses algae to capture carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and store it in ocean ice or sea ice. By deploying this "vaccine" in specific areas with minimal human activity, it can help reduce carbon dioxide levels to pre-industrial levels within a decade. The technology is environmentally friendly and scalable, with the potential to capture and store large amounts of carbon dioxide effectively.
Published: 2024-04-04AI Methods for Transforming a Text Prompt into an Immersive Volumetric Photo or Video
An advanced technology uses AI to turn written descriptions into immersive 3D photos or videos. It starts by creating a basic image from the text, then enhances it with more details and depth perception. The final result can be viewed in virtual reality, augmented reality, or even on holographic displays without needing special glasses.
Published: 2024-04-04MATERIALS AND METHODS FOR ALGAL INOCULATION TO EFFECT DIRECT CAPTURE OF CARBON DIOXIDE FROM AIR
This invention introduces a cost-effective method to capture carbon dioxide from the air using specially designed algae. The process involves inoculating specific areas with these algae, which then convert carbon dioxide into biomass, effectively sequestering the carbon. By utilizing existing technologies and biological methods, this innovative solution aims to reduce carbon levels in the atmosphere back to pre-industrial levels within a decade.
