摘要:
A global user record that can be found in a search for posixAccount-type records is created in a database, then a zone user record of a type that cannot be found in a search for posixAccount-type records is associated with it. Finally, the zone user record is augmented so that it, too, will be found in a search for posixAccount-type records. Global and zone-specific group records are created similarly.

Methods and compositions are provided for assessing, treating, and preventing diseases, especially cancer, using cancer-associated targets (CAT). Methods and compositions are also provided for determining or predicting the effectiveness of a treatment for these diseases or for selecting a treatment, using CAT. Methods and compositions are further provided for modulating cell function using CAT. Also provided are compositions that modulate CAT (e.g., antagonists or agonists), such as antibodies, proteins, small molecule compounds, and nucleic acid agents (e.g., RNAi and antisense agents), as well as pharmaceutical compositions thereof. Further provided are methods of screening for agents that modulate CAT, and agents identified by these screening methods.
摘要:
The present invention provides a laterally diffused metal oxide semiconductor (LDMOS) transistor and a method for fabricating it. The LDMOS transistor includes an n-type epitaxial layer formed on a p-type substrate, and an asymmetric conductive spacer which acts as its gate. The LDMOS transistor also includes a source and a drain region on either side of the asymmetric conductive spacer, and a channel region formed by ion-implantation on the asymmetric conductive spacer. The height of the asymmetric conductive spacer increases from the source region to the drain region. The channel region is essentially completely under the asymmetric conductive spacer and has smaller length than that of the channel region of the prior art LDMOS transistors. The LDMOS transistor of the present invention also includes a field oxide layer surrounding the active region of the transistor, and a thin dielectric layer isolating the asymmetric conductive spacer from the n-type epitaxial layer.

A motor arrangement includes a rotor with a north rotor magnetic pole and a south rotor magnetic pole, the rotor being rotatable about a rotor axis between a first rotor position and a second rotor position. The rotor includes a first rotor abutment and a second rotor abutment. The motor arrangement includes a stator having a first stator magnetic pole and a second stator magnetic pole, the stator having a first stator condition in which the first stator magnetic pole is a north stator magnetic pole and the second stator magnetic pole is a south stator magnetic pole, and a second stator condition in which the first stator magnetic pole is a south stator magnetic pole and the second stator magnetic pole is a north stator magnetic pole. The first stator condition corresponds to the first rotor position in which the north rotor magnetic pole is proximate the second stator magnetic pole and the south rotor magnetic pole is proximate the first stator magnetic pole, and the second stator condition corresponds to the second rotor position in which the north rotor magnetic pole is proximate the first stator magnetic pole and the south rotor magnetic pole is proximate the second stator magnetic pole. The motor arrangement includes an output member rotatable about the rotor axis and having a first output abutment engageable by the first rotor abutment to move the output member in a first rotational direction and having a second output abutment engageable by the second rotor abutment to move the output member in a second rotational direction. The output member is rotatable relative to the rotor to a limited extent defined by the first and second output abutments and the first and second rotor abutments. The motor arrangement includes a first stop to limit movement of the rotor past the first rotor position and a second stop to limit movement of the rotor past the second rotor position.

A latch arrangement includes a lever movable in response to movement of a door lever. A controller is configured for selectively preventing movement of the lever. The controller includes a mono-stable blocking element in the form of a bi-metallic strip which can be operated such that a distal end acts to block movement of the lever. The controller also includes a bi-stable blocking element having a nib that can be moved to an extended position to block movement of the lever. Both blocking elements can be operated at the same time. When either of the blocking elements are arranged in the path of the release lever, unlatching of the door is prevented.

A foot orthosis device which may be used with footwear to provide arch support for the purpose of relief of physical discomfort such as pain of the foot due to such conditions as over use of longitudinally directed muscles, tendons, and ligaments located between the metatarsal and calcaneal section of the bottom of a human foot. The orthosis device can placed between the existing removable sole and non-removable platform, or above the non-removable sole, or may be integral with a portion of the footwear.

A radio receiver is configurable to operate in both low-IF and zero-IF modes with maximum re-use of of analogue and digital circuitry between modes. The receiver comprises a quadrature down-converter (108,110,112,114) for generating in-phase (I) and quadrature (Q) signals at an intermediate frequency and a complex filter (516) for performing image rejection filtering. In the low-IF mode, one of the outputs (Q) of the filter (516) is terminated, the other (I) is digitised by a non-complex ADC (520), then the digital signal is filtered and decimated. Quadrature-related IF signals are then re-generated before down-conversion and demodulation. In the zero-IF mode, both outputs of the filter (516) are digitised and processed in parallel before demodulation. By enabling analogue-to-digital conversion and channel filtering to be performed at low-IF on non-complex signals, use of just two non-complex ADCs (120,1620) is possible, thereby avoiding duplication of circuitry and providing significant power savings.

摘要:
A system and method for improving the input return loss in RF amplifiers is disclosed. One embodiment of the present invention amplifies only one of the two output quadrature signals of 3 dB coupler in an amplifier module while substantially maintaining a constant impedance at the input to the 3 dB coupler. This removes one of the design constraints for designing the input network for an amplifier module thereby allowing for more flexible amplifier designs and ease of cascading amplifier modules. One embodiment of the present invention improves the input return loss of an RF amplifier pallet in a cascaded-stage power amplifier circuit for a television transmitter including a 3 dB coupler by replacing one of the two amplifiers connected to the output of the 3 dB coupler with an electrical circuit of substantially equivalent impedance to the input impedance of the non-replaced amplifier.
摘要:
A spring tooth chisel plow has its upper shank secured within a channel retainer pivotally mounted adjacent the rear edge of the retainer to a mounting bracket secured to a tool bar. The shank of the chisel plow is held within the channel retainer by a transverse clamping bar positioned radially from the main pivot, the forward end of the shank being fixed to the channel retainer. The upper surface of the retainer normally abuts a complementary surface on the mounting bracket, which supports an upwardly extending compression spring assembly. A tension bolt pivotally connects the forward end of the retainer to the upper end of the compression spring assembly, whereby force exerted on the chisel point of the plow is resisted by the compression spring assembly.
