Abstract:
Analog-valued floating-gate transistors are used as trimmable circuit components for modifying and/or controlling the gain, phase, offset, frequency response, current consumption, and/or transfer function of signal pathways in parallel and/or serial processing circuits in radio frequency, analog, or mixed-signal integrated circuits.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a method of producing a novel biaxially oriented film having a high diffraction of light, and flexibility. In particular, the invention disclosed provides a method for making an opaque impact copolymer film by stretching in two dimensions an impact polypropylene copolymer. The invention is disclosed to be useful for making a material particularly suitable for a variety of applications including labeling media, food packaging and laminates. Also disclosed is a multilayer film having a first impact polypropylene copolymer layer and a second layer of another polymer wherein the multilayer film has significantly reduced haze. Also disclosed is film produced with a filler that has increased porosity and flexibility.
Abstract:
Described are preferred processes and compositions for suppressing myeloid cells in mammals. Preferred processes and compositions involve the use of chemokines in synergistic combinations or while they are substantially completely in monomeric form (i.e. substantially free from their polymerized or aggregated forms).
Abstract:
Described are preferred processes for suppressing proliferation of or for myeloprotecting myeloid cells in mammals. The processes involve the use of chemokines of the group Macrophage Inflammatory Protein-2.alpha. (MIP-2.alpha.), Platelet Factor 4 (PF4), Interleukin-8 (IL-8) and Macrophage Chemotactic and Activating Factor (MCAF), or involve the use of these chemokines or Macrophage Inflammatory Protein-1.alpha. (MIP-1.alpha.) in synergistic combinations or while they are substantially completely in monomeric form (i.e. substantially free from their polymerized or aggregated forms).
Abstract:
A package including a container and an anti-counterfeit indicator that can indicate whether or not a product dispensably disposed within the container is authentic or counterfeit when it is exposed to a sample of the product. The indicator may be configured to produce a response upon detecting a certain chemical compound in the product that is indicative of the authenticity of the product.
Abstract:
A method is described for managing vapors generated from an ammonia-containing reductant delivery system. The method may include generating ammonia vapors in a first storage device and storing said generated ammonia vapors in a second storage device. Further, the method may include purging the stored vapors from the second storage device to upstream of a combustion chamber of the engine during a first condition and downstream of the combustion chamber during a second condition.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus to identify users of handheld computing devices are disclosed. An example method includes generating, via a logic circuit, a first handling pattern indicative of a manner in which a handheld computing device is moved while the handheld computing device is presenting media; and storing the first handling pattern and corresponding user identification information in a database, handling patterns stored in the database to identify users of the handheld computing device.
Abstract:
This invention is related to multi-layer golf balls having at least one layer containing a neutralized high acid ionomer linked to a grafted metallocene copolymer, where the golf balls exhibit improved performance characteristics and properties.
