摘要:
A method of transferring a pattern onto a substrate, in the fabrication of ICs, is disclosed. The substrate is coated with a photoresist layer, wherein the photoresist layer is selectively exposed and developed, producing sidewalls that exhibit roughness. The roughness is smoothened out by coating the photoresist layer with a coating layer.
摘要:
In the exposure and development of available deep ultraviolet (DUV) sensitive photoresist it has been observed that following the standard prior art methods of exposure and development results in a high density of undesirable pieces of components of the photoresist material, Blob Defects, remaining on the semiconductor substrate (body). A method of exposing and developing the photoresist material which results in a reduced incidence of these Blob Defects consists of introducing a low level uniform flood exposure of light in addition to the commonly used exposure to patterned light, followed by standard development. The flood exposure is in the range of 5 to 50% of the dose-to-clear for a non-patterned exposure.

The present invention is directed to certain piperidines, pyrrolidines, and hexahydro-1H-azepines of the general structural formula: ##STR1## wherein B is selected from: ##STR2## and R.sup.1, R.sup.1a, R.sup.2a, R.sup.3a, R.sup.3b, R.sup.4, R.sup.4a, R.sup.4b, R.sup.4c, R.sup.5, D, X, Y, n, x and y are as defined herein. These compounds promote the release of growth hormone in humans and animals. This property can be utilized to promote the growth of food animals to render the production of edible meat products more efficient, and in humans, to treat physiological or medical conditions characterized by a deficiency in growth hormone secretion, such as short stature in growth hormone deficient children, and to treat medical conditions which are improved by the anabolic effects of growth hormone. Growth hormone releasing compositions containing such compounds as the active ingredient thereof are also disclosed.

Compounds having a biphenyl group substituted with a phenyl or heteroaromatic group, as shown in Formula I, including pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the compounds, are CETP inhibitors, and are useful for raising HDL-cholesterol, reducing LDL-cholesterol, and for treating or preventing atherosclerosis:
摘要:
The present invention provides isolated and purified polynucleotides and polypeptides related to the IL-17F signaling pathway. The invention also provides antibodies to IL-17F homodimers and IL-17A/IL-17F heterodimers, and methods of isolating and purifying members of the IL-17 family, including IL-17A/IL-17F heterodimers, from a natural source. The present invention also is directed to novel methods for diagnosing, prognosing, monitoring the progress of, and treating and/or preventing disorders related to IL-17F signaling, i.e., IL-17F-associated disorders, including, but not limited to, inflammatory disorders, such as autoimmune diseases (e.g., arthritis (including rheumatoid arthritis), psoriasis, systemic lupus erythematosus, and multiple sclerosis), respiratory diseases (e.g., COPD, cystic fibrosis, asthma, allergy), transplant rejection (including solid organ transplant rejection), and inflammatory bowel diseases or disorders (IBDs, e.g., ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease). The present invention is further directed to novel therapeutics and therapeutic targets, and to methods of screening and assessing test compounds for the intervention (treatment) and prevention of disorders related to IL-17F signaling.
摘要:
A large mask with random apertures may be formed by forming a smaller mask (also called a cell mask) with a random pattern of transmissive apertures which is then repeatedly replicated to create the large mask. The random pattern may be created by perturbing the aperture locations by a small amount or the apertures may be randomly placed within the cell mask provided certain criteria are met. Alternatively, a large mask with a random pattern of transmissive apertures may be formed without using a cell mask. This large mask may be used to fabricate diffusers and other devices that do not suffer from the interference, diffraction and other optical effects common in devices having structures that are non-randomly patterned.
摘要:
The invention relates to systems and methods for producing proteins of interest. The invention employs genetically-engineered animal or plant cells that have modified protein folding or processing capacities. In one aspect, the invention features genetically-engineered cells comprising one or more recombinant expression cassettes which encode (1) a protein of interest and (2) a polypeptide that is functional in the unfolded protein response (UPR) pathway of the cells. Co-expression of the polypeptide significantly increases the yield of the protein of interest in the genetically-engineered cells. In one example, the genetically-engineered cells are animal cells, and the co-expressed polypeptide is a component or modulator of an XB1- or ATF6-mediated UPR pathway.
摘要:
Compounds having the structure of Formula I, including pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the compounds, are CETP inhibitors, and are useful for raising HDL-cholesterol, reducing LDL-cholesterol, and for treating or preventing atherosclerosis. The compounds have 3 cyclic groups connected by single bonds, as for example triphenyl, which are attached directly to the ring of formula I or attached at the position B.
