摘要:
The present invention relates to methods, compositions, and kits for detecting the presence of B. anthracis and binding partners to B. anthracis. The invention also relates to polynucleotide sequences that are specific for the B. anthracis genome and proteins encoded by those sequences.
摘要:
A method for epitaxially forming a silicon-containing material on a substrate surface utilizes a halogen containing gas as both an etching gas as well as a carrier gas through adjustments of the process chamber temperature and pressure. It is beneficial to utilize HCl as the halogen containing gas because converting HCl from a carrier gas to an etching gas can easily be performed by adjusting the chamber pressure.

In a multi-core processor, a high-speed interrupt-signal interconnect allows more than one of the processors to be interrupted at substantially the same time. For example, a global signal interconnect is coupled to each of the multiple processors, each processor being configured to selectively provide an interrupt signal, or pulse thereon. Preferably, each of the processor cores is capable of pulsing the global signal interconnect during every clock cycle to minimize delay between a triggering event and its respective interrupt signal. Each of the multiple processors also senses, or samples the global signal interconnect, preferably during the same cycle within which the pulse was provided, to determine the existence of an interrupt signal. Upon sensing an interrupt signal, each of the multiple processors responds to it substantially simultaneously. For example, an interrupt signal sampled by each of the multiple processors causes each processor to invoke a debug handler routine.

There is disclosed a system and method of employing a porous container for sealing, baffling, reinforcing or a combination thereof. According to the method, a porous container having one or more openings is provided. An expandable material is associated with the container and is preferably placed within the container. Thereafter, the expandable material is expanded to contact and adhere to a structure of an article of manufacture (e.g., an automotive vehicle).

A panel structure and a method of forming the panel structure are disclosed. The panel structure typically includes at least one panel associated with a material. The panel structure has been found particularly advantageous for use as an interior panel of an airplane.
摘要:
Methods are disclosed of fabricating a compound nitride semiconductor structure. A substrate is disposed over a susceptor in a processing chamber, with the susceptor in thermal communication with the substrate. A group-III precursor and a nitrogen precursor are flowed into the processing chamber. The susceptor is heated with a nonuniform temperature profile to heat the substrate. A nitride layer is deposited over the heated substrate with a thermal chemical vapor deposition process within the processing chamber using the group-III precursor and the nitrogen precursor.

Methods and apparatus for providing constant emissivity of the backside of susceptors are provided. Provided is a susceptor comprising: a susceptor plate having a surface for supporting a wafer and a backside surface opposite the wafer supporting surface; a layer comprising an oxide, a nitride, an oxynitride, or combinations thereof located on the backside surface of the susceptor plate, the layer being stable in the presence of a reactive process gas. The layer comprises, for example, silicon dioxide, silicon nitride, silicon oxynitride, or combinations thereof. Also provided is a method comprising: providing a susceptor in a deposition chamber, the susceptor comprising a susceptor plate and a layer comprising an oxide, a nitride, an oxynitride, or combinations thereof, the layer being stable in the presence of the reactive process gases; locating the wafer on a support surface of the susceptor plate. The method can further comprises selectively depositing an epitaxial layer or a non-epitaxial layer on a surface of the wafer. The method further comprises selectively etching to maintain the oxide, nitride, oxynitride, or combinations thereof layer.
摘要:
Apparatus and method detect a detection cluster that is associated with a neurological event, such as a seizure, of a nervous system disorder and update therapy parameters that are associated with a treatment therapy. The occurrence of the detection cluster is detected when the maximal ratio exceeds an intensity threshold. If the maximal ratio drops below the intensity threshold for a time interval that is less than a time threshold and subsequently rises above the intensity threshold, the subsequent time duration is considered as being associated with the detection cluster rather than being associated with a different detection cluster. Consequently, treatment of the nervous system disorder during the corresponding time period is in accordance with one detection cluster. Treatment therapy may be provided by providing electrical stimulation, drug infusion or a combination. Therapy parameters may be updated for each mth successive group of applications of the treatment therapy or for each nth detection cluster.
摘要:
Systems and methods for detecting and/or treating nervous system disorders, such as seizures, are disclosed. Certain embodiments of the invention relate generally to implantable medical devices (IMDs) adapted to detect and treat nervous system disorders in patients with an IMD. Certain embodiments of the invention include detection of seizures based upon comparisons of long-term and short-term representations of physiological signals. Other embodiments include prediction of seizure activity based upon analysis of physiological signal levels. A further embodiment of the invention includes detection of seizure activity following the delivery of therapy.
