The present invention provides a wideband frequency tunable ring resonator, wherein, comprises a closed λg/2 transmission line and two variable capacitors with tunable capacitance, the λg/2 transmission line is axisymmetric around a central line, first ends of the two variable capacitors are respectively connected to two intersection points of the λg/2 transmission line and the central line, the second ends of the two variable capacitors are respectively grounded. By implementing the technical solution of present invention, following technical effects are obtained. The fundamental resonant frequency (ffund) can be shifted up and down by controlling the respective values of the two loading capacitors, resulting in a bi-directional tuning of ffund. As a result, the tuning range of this invention can be approximately doubled as compared with the conventional tunable ring resonator.
摘要:
Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is a member of a large family of incretin hormones secreted in nutrient-dependent response. GLP-1 acts on GLP-1 receptor (GLP-1 R) that is highly expressed on pancreatic β-cells. The peptide has great potential for development of diabetes treatment and diagnosis. However, the pharmaceutical effects of the peptide suffer from in vivo instability and short life due to degradation by Dipeptidylpeptidase-1 (DPP-4). The 30 amino acid peptide GLP-1 has been integrated into a stable host protein human calbindin D9k. The fusion protein binds to GLP-1 R as demonstrated by immunostaining analyses of GLP-1 R expressing cells. The fusion protein agents can be useful for both diabetes treatment and GLP-1 R receptor targeting MR imaging. The fusion protein has a size about 14 kDa, which enables efficient tissue penetration and retention, and an extended circulation time, is stable, remaining intact and retaining activity after 48 hours incubation with 75% human serum. The protein retains its native folded structure after boiling for ten minutes forming the basis of an experimental protocol for large scale production of the fusion protein (>30 mg/l bacterial culture). No toxicity has been observed with tests on mice. One aspect of the disclosure, therefore, provides a fusion protein comprising a first peptide characterized by selectively binding to a site of a target cell and linked to a second peptide, where the fusion protein is more stable than the first peptide alone. In embodiments of this aspect of the disclosure, the fusion protein may further comprise a detectable label attached thereto. In some embodiments of this aspect of the disclosure, the first peptide of the fusion protein may be glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1)(7-36), or glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) (9-36), or a conservative variant thereof.
摘要:
An electrical connection includes a first wire bonded to adjacent bond pads proximate to an edge of a die and a second wire having one end bonded to a die bond pad distal to the die edge and a second end bonded to a lead finger of a lead frame or a connection pad of a substrate. The second wire crosses and is supported by the first wire. The first wire acts as a brace that prevents the second wire from touching the edge of the die. The first wire also prevents the second wire from excessive lateral movement during encapsulation.

摘要:
A lead frame having a recessed die bond area. The lead frame has top and bottom surfaces and a first lead frame thickness defined as the distance between the top and bottom surfaces. The lead frame has a die bond area surface located within a reduced die bond area. A second thickness is defined as the distance between the die bond area surface and the bottom surface. The second lead frame thickness is less than the first lead frame thickness such that a semiconductor die disposed and attached to the die bond area surface has a reduced overall package thickness. A side wall formed between the die bond area surface and the top surface contains the adhesive material used to attach the die, which reduces adhesive bleeding and prevents wire bonding contamination.
摘要:
A wireless communications module coexisting with a wireless telephony communications module includes a radio frequency (RF) module, a MODEM, a clock generator and distributor and a system control logic. The system control logic issues an external interrupt (EINT) signal to the wireless telephony communications module for activating a clock source via the wireless telephony communications module. When the clock source is activated, the clock generator and distributor receives a reference clock from the activated clock source, converts the reference clock into one or more internal clocks and drives the internal clock or clocks to the RF module and the MODEM for synchronization therebetween.
