Abstract:
A memory cell having first and second access transistors coupled to a storage transistor is disclosed. The access transistors are high gate threshold voltage transistors to reduce leakage current in the memory cell. The gate threshold voltage of the access transistors are, for example, 0.1 to 0.4V higher than typical transistors. Reducing leakage current advantageously improves the retention time of the memory cell.

Abstract:
Compounds are disclosed for treating AIDS, herpes, and other viral infections by means of lipid derivatives of antiviral agents. The compounds consist of nucleoside analogues having antiviral activity which are linked, commonly through a phosphate group at the 5′ position of the pentose residue, to one of a selected group of lipids. The lipophilic nature of these compounds provide advantages over the use of the nucleoside analogue alone. It also makes it possible to incorporate them into the lamellar structure of liposomes, either alone or combined with similar molecules. In the form of liposomes, these antiviral agents are preferentially taken up by macrophages and monocytes, cells which have been found to harbor the target HIV virus. Additional site specificity may be incorporated into the liposomes with the addition of ligands, such as monoclonal antibodies or other peptides or proteins which bind to viral proteins. Effective nucleoside analogues are dideoxynucleosides, azidothymine (AZT), and acyclovir; lipid groups may be glycolipids, sphingolipids, phospholipids or fatty acids. The compounds persist, after intracellular hydrolysis, as phosphorylated or non-phosphorylated antiviral nucleosides. The compounds are effective in improving the efficacy of antiviral nucleoside analogues by prolonging the antiviral activity after the administration of the drug has ended, and in preventing retroviral replication in HIV infections which have become resistant to therapy with conventional forms of the antiretroviral agents.
Abstract:
A single-port memory cell arrangement includes a multiplicity of single-port memory cells, each having a selection transistor and a memory transistor. The selection transistor has a control terminal connected to a word line, and a load-path connected to a data line. The memory transistor has a control terminal connected to a supply potential, and a load-path connected to the second end of the selection-transistor's load-path. The memory transistor is configured to switch, in response to a signal on the data line, between first and second potentials corresponding to two memory states. These potentials and the supply potential are selected such that first and second ends of the memory-transistor-load-path are at the same potential. The memory cell also includes a controllable switch having a first terminal connected to a supply line, and a second terminal connected to the second end of the memory-transistor-load-path. A single charging device assigned to the single-port memory cells provides providing a precharging potential. From time to time, the charging device recharges a selected memory transistor through the supply line and a selected controllable switch corresponding to that memory transistor.

Abstract:
The invention pertains to a layout for a semiconductor memory with multiple memory cells. The layout according to this invention takes into account the “design rules” specified by the manufacturing process or those required by the technology, and attempts to optimize the surface area of the layout of the semiconductor memory. The particular advantage of the invention rests in the fact that for each memory cell, effectively only one contact terminal is needed. In this manner, the required surface area for the semiconductor memory can be reduced significantly. Due to the reduction in the number of contact terminals, the leakage currents can also be reduced.
Abstract:
A controller is disclosed that operates a gas turbine such that a desired reserve power capacity is maintained. The inlet guide vane angle of the compressor is applied as an indicator of the reserve capacity of the gas turbine. The actual inlet guide vane angle is continuously compared to an intended inlet guide vane angle that corresponds to a desired reserve capacity. A controller adjusts the fuel flow to the gas turbine to adjust the turbine output power and thereby maintain the actual inlet guide vane angle at the intended value corresponding to the desired reserve capacity.

Abstract:
A panel assembly and method for manufacturing the panel assembly, especially adapted for use in vehicles, includes a panel of predetermined size and geometry wherein a surface of the panel to receive a gasket is primed using a material especially adapted to prepare the panel surface to bond with the gasket. The desired gasket profile is molded separately from the panel from a polymeric material. Following formation of the gasket, the panel is located thereon and pressed into intimate contact with the gasket for a prescribed period of time. The panel and attached panel are removed as an assembly. Additional or optional steps may be followed including preheating the panel and primed surface prior to bonding to shorten the cycle time and improve adhesion. Moreover, heat may be applied to the contact boundary between the panel and gasket substantially simultaneously with the application of pressure. The steps of heating and applying pressure may be repeated to insure proper adhesion. The panel assembly and the method of manufacturing the panel assembly are especially adapted for use in flush mounted panel assemblies wherein the gasket is fixed only to a single surface of the pane and allows for gradationally varying cross-sectional profiles to specifically suit a needed application.
