Abstract:
Methods for the delivery of a siNA to a cell via a liposome are provided. In certain embodiments, the siNA may bind to a nucleotide sequence encoding ZNF306 protein. These methods may be used to treat a disease, such as cancer. One example of a composition is a composition comprising a siNA component that binds to a nucleotide sequence encoding ZNF306 protein and a lipid component. One example of a method is a method of treating cancer.
Abstract:
Following CMP, a magnetic tunnel junction stack may protrude through the oxide that surrounds it, making it susceptible to possible shorting to its sidewalls. The present invention overcomes this problem by depositing silicon nitride spacers on these sidewalls prior to oxide deposition and CMP. So, even though the stack may protrude through the top surface of the oxide after CMP, the spacers serve to prevent possible later shorting to the stack.
Abstract:
The invention provides methods for obtaining dilution thickening behavior. Specifically, polydextrose induced biphasic compositions have been unexpectedly found to induce such behavior.
Abstract:
A disk drive includes a base, a spindle motor attached to the base, the spindle motor including a hub having hub apertures, a plurality of disks on the spindle motor and including a first and a second disk, a disk spacer between the first and second disks, and a disk clamp. The disk spacer has a plurality of spacer through apertures. Each of the spacer through apertures extend radially through the disk spacer. The disk clamp has clamp through apertures adjacent to an inner diameter of the disk clamp. Each of the clamp through apertures extend longitudinally through the disk clamp. The clamp through apertures, the hub apertures and the spacer through apertures are aligned for allowing airflow to pass through the apertures when the disks are rotating.

Abstract:
An MRAM structure is disclosed where the distance from a bit line or word line to an underlying free layer in an MTJ is small and well controlled. As a result, the bit line or word line switching current is reduced and tightly distributed for better device performance. A key feature in the method of forming the MRAM cell structure is a two step planarization of an insulation layer deposited on the MTJ array. A CMP step flattens the insulation layer at a distance about 60 to 200 Angstroms above the cap layer in the MTJ. Then an etch back step thins the insulation layer to a level about 50 to 190 Angstroms below the top of the cap layer. Less than 5 Angstroms of the cap layer is removed. The distance variation from the free layer to an overlying bit line or word line is within +/−5 Angstroms.
Abstract:
This invention provides a process for extracting the flavonoid and alkaloid components from lotus leaf and provides a method for the reduction of body weight, total cholesterol (TC), low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, and triglycerides (TG). It also provides a method for increasing high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol and the prevention of coronary heart disease (CHD). There are 10% to 80% flavones and 10% to 80% alkaloids in the lotus leaf extract powder of this invention. This process produces an improved standardized raw material that may be utilized as a single dietary supplement, food additive, or medicine and it may be added to other plant extracts, nutraceuticals, or pharmaceuticals.
Abstract:
The present invention provides for a slow-release inhibitor that is applied to a metal surface, such as by way of a paint or primer coating, for corrosion control of the metal. An exemplary embodiment of the slow-release corrosion inhibitor includes a water-soluble particle, or pigment, and an organic polymeric film that encapsulates the particle. This water-soluble particle may be either organic or inorganic and, preferably, is non-carcinogenic and non-toxic. An additional water-soluble particle having an encapsulating, organic polymeric film further may be provided along with a water-soluble, organic compound to form the corrosion inhibitor. The polymeric film(s) are of a desired hydrophobicity and permeability to permit, upon interaction of the particle(s) with water, controlled diffusion of particle ions therethrough.

Abstract:
A shroud assembly for a disk drive that includes a rotatable disk, a printed circuit board, a data transfer head, an actuator assembly and a flex cable, includes a cable shrouding portion. The shroud assembly also includes a disk shrouding portion and a cable mounting portion. The cable mounting portion includes a first surface and a second surface. The first surface is configured to receive a transition portion of the flex cable proximate to a second end. The second surface is configured to receive the second end of the flex cable and to position the second end for engagement by the printed circuit board. The cable shrouding portion is configured to shield a spanning portion of the flex cable between the cable mounting portion and the actuator assembly from airflow generated by the rotation of the rotatable disk.
