Abstract:
In a vertical MOSFET, an inactive ion species is ion-implanted into a J-FET portion, a surface channel layer, and/or a base region. The inactive ion species fill intrinsic carbon vacancies or interact with interstitial Si atoms, which are possible origin or responsible for B-diffusion from the base region. Accordingly, the B-diffusion caused by the intrinsic carbon vacancies when the base region is formed is suppressed. The width of the J-FET portion is prevented from being decreased, thereby preventing an increase in resistance of the J-FET portion. Also, the conductive type of the surface channel layer is prevented from being inverted by diffused impurities.
Abstract:
There is disclosed a method for thermally processing a textile structure in which the structure is run through a treatment zone in which the structure temperature is changed by heat exchange by contact with a flowing liquid.
Abstract:
An improved process of lactonization in the preparation of statins (e.g., the HMG--CoA reductase inhibitors lovastatin and simvastatin) employs very mild reaction conditions. The improved process comprises treating the open ring hydroxy acid form of the statins with an excess of acetic acid and in the absence of a strong acid catalyst under mild heating conditions (e.g., ambient to 55.degree. C.), and adding an anti-solvent to the reaction mixture, thereby causing the statins in lactone form to crystalize from the reaction mixture. The acetic acid serves as both a solvent and a catalyst for the lactonization reaction.
Abstract:
This invention relates to novel oriented piezoelectric ceramic and ceramic/polymer composites. More particularly, it provides a novel piezoelectric composite design wherein the ceramic piezoelectric phase is oriented at an angle with respect to the direction of applied stress, thus giving improved electromechanical properties.
Abstract:
The present invention is based, in part, upon the discovery of charged lipids that provide advantages when used in lipid particles for the in vivo delivery of a therapeutic agent. As such, described herein are compounds useful for delivering a nucleic acid to a cell.
Abstract:
Network topology information may be determined for a plurality of network devices on a network. System identifier information may then be determined for each of the plurality of network devices on the network. The system identifier information may be a list of network solutions that each network device actually or potentially belongs to. The system may then flag the system identifier information to indicate whether each solution is an actual or a potential solution.
Abstract:
A system and method of manufacturing a fiber for use in manufacturing products including providing a feedstock including fiber derived from edible fruit of a plant. An agent that degrades pectin may be applied to the feedstock to form a feedstock mixture. The feedstock mixture may be agitated, and solution including the fiber from the feedstock mixture may be removed. The fiber may be isolated from the solution.
Abstract:
Provided are systems and methods for execution by a core of a peripheral component to provide power management for a data bus in a electronic device, such as a mobile electronic device. One method comprises determining whether a device in the peripheral component is inactive, transmitting a request for deactivation of at least one data channel to the device, receiving a command to deactivate the at least one data channel, determining whether any remaining devices in the peripheral component are active, and placing the peripheral component in a first low power mode wherein the core remains active in order to monitor a data bus clock.
Abstract:
Techniques to control power and processing among a plurality of asymmetric cores. In one embodiment, one or more asymmetric cores are power managed to migrate processes or threads among a plurality of cores according to the performance and power needs of the system.
Abstract:
Compositions comprise first antioxidants and first additives, such as, a surface additives, performance enhancing additives and lubricant protective additives and optionally second additives and/or second antioxidants. The compositions are useful to improve lubricants, lubricant oils and other lubricant materials. The compositions and methods generally provide longer shelf lives, increased oxidative resistance, improved quality and/or enhanced performance to lubricants or lubricant oils.
