Abstract:
Methods, compositions and articles of manufacture involving soluble conjugated polymers are provided. The conjugated polymers have a sufficient density of polar substituents to render them soluble in a polar medium, for example water and/or methanol. The conjugated polymer may desirably comprise monomers which alter its conductivity properties. In some embodiments, the inventors have provided cationic conjugated polymers (CCPs) comprising both solubilizing groups and conductive groups, resulting in conductive conjugated polymers soluble in polar media. The different solubility properties of these polymers allow their deposition in solution in multilayer formats with other conjugated polymers. Also provided are articles of manufacture comprising multiple layers of conjugated polymers having differing solubility characteristics. Embodiments of the invention are described further herein.
Abstract:
A ring oscillator circuit, such as a VCO, with a relatively high level of noise rejection for noise originating from both the voltage supply and ground. The ring oscillator circuit is composed of a plurality of differential delay circuits, each differential delay circuit generating a differential output signal that is a delayed (and preferably inverted) version of a differential input signal. ‘Each differential delay circuit includes first and second input transistors for receiving the differential input signal. Each differential delay circuit also includes first and second load transistors coupled in parallel with the respective first and second input transistors. Each differential delay circuit further includes a first current source coupled between the first input transistor and a first power supply terminal (e.g., a voltage supply terminal), a second current source coupled between the second input transistor and the first power supply terminal and a third current source coupled between the first and second input transistors and a second power supply terminal (e.g., a ground terminal). The first and second current sources reduce the coupling of noise from the first power supply terminal to the output. The third current source reduces the coupling of noise from the second power supply terminal to the output.
Abstract:
A method for planarizing DRAM cells comprising the steps of providing a silicon substrate having a field oxide layer, an oxide layer and a capacitor formed thereon, then forming a first dielectric layer over the substrate. Next, portions of the first dielectric layer is etched back to form a spacer layer, and then a second dielectric layer is formed over the spacer layer. Thereafter, an insulating layer is formed over the second dielectric layer. Finally, the insulating layer is fully etched back to form a third dielectric layer.
Abstract:
4(3H)-X-7H-Pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidines in which X is .dbd.O or .dbd.NH are prepared by treating a 6-amino-4(3H)-X-pyrimidine with a unsubstituted or substituted 1-nitroalk-1-ene to yield a 6-amino-4(3H)-X-pyrimidine which is substituted in the 5-position by a 1-nitroalk-2-yl group; (ii) converting the 5-(1-nitroalk-2-yl)-6-amino-4(3H)-X-pyrimidine to the corresponding 5-(1-oxoalk-2-yl)-6-amino-4(3H)-X-pyr-imidine; and (iii) removing the elements of water from the 5-(1-oxoalk-2-yl)-6-amino-4(3H)-X-pyrimidine to effect cyclization. A typical embodiment involves treating 2,6-diamino-4(3H)-pyrimidone with 1-nitro-4-(4-ethoxycarbonylphenyl)-1-butene to yield 1 -nitro-2-(2,6-diamino-4(3H)-oxopyrimidin-5-yl)-4-(4-ethoxy-carbonylphenyl)butane which is then treated sequentially with base and acid, without isolation of the intermediate aldehyde, to form 4-[2-(2-amino-4(3H)-oxo-7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidin-5-yl)ethyl]benzoic acid, a valuable known chemical intermediate for the preparation of N-[4-{2-(2-hydroxy-4-amino-7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]-pyrimidin-5-yl)ethyl}benzoyl]glutamic acid.

Abstract:
Flavonoid compounds may be prepared that are selective for certain cell organelles, and may be used as biological imaging agents. Organelles that may be imaged with flavonoid compounds include mitochondria and lysosomes. Advantageously, the flavonoids show specificity to certain organelles and may exhibit a florescence “turn-on” mechanism, where the flavonoids that have target an organelle exhibit a florescence response when excited.

A fluorine-containing anti-corrosive coating is prepared by using fluororubber as basic film-forming substance, adding auxiliary agent, reinforcing agent and additive, kneading to obtain fluorine mixed compound, dissolving in organic solvent to obtain component A solution of the mixed compound; and while using it, mixing the component A solution with silane coupling agent as component B at a certain proportion, curing at low temperature and obtaining the fluorine-containing coating.
Abstract:
Systems, methods, and apparatus are provided for vulnerability signature based Network Intrusion Detection and/or Prevention which achieves high throughput comparable to that of the state-of-the-art regex-based systems while offering improved accuracy. A candidate selection algorithm efficiently matches thousands of vulnerability signatures simultaneously using a small amount of memory. A parsing transition state machine achieves fast protocol parsing. Certain examples provide a computer-implemented method for network intrusion detection. The method includes capturing a data message and invoking a protocol parser to parse the data message. The method also includes matching the parsed data message against a plurality of vulnerability signatures in parallel using a candidate selection algorithm and detecting an unwanted network intrusion based on an outcome of the matching.
