Assignee:

Texas Instruments Incorporated - Dallas TX

International Classification:

H03B 524

US Classification:

331 76, 331 60, 331 74, 331111, 331143

Abstract:

An integrated circuit ( ) is disclosed comprising a fundamental frequency oscillator comprising a reference node ( ) whose voltage varies between a high threshold and a low threshold. The fundamental frequency oscillator is operable to generate a first output at the fundamental frequency on a first output node ( ). The integrated circuit ( ) also comprises a circuit (C ) coupled to the reference node. The circuit (C ) is operable to sense the voltage at the reference node ( ), to determine when the voltage exceeds an intermediate threshold between the high threshold and the low threshold, and to generate a second output in response to the determination. The integrated circuit ( ) also comprises logic ( ) coupled to the circuit (C ) and load circuitry ( ) coupled to the logic ( ). The logic ( ) is operable to generate an output signal at an output frequency greater than the fundamental frequency in response to the second output and the first output.

US Classification:

264132, 264134, 4251261

Abstract:

A method of preparing a molded article by means of an in-mold decoration process, is described. The method includes, providing a laminate () of a plurality of separate releasable thermoplastic labels () superposed over a carrier film (). A decoration () is applied in-line to the exposed second surface () of the labels (), thereby forming a decorated laminate (). The decorated laminate () is forwarded and indexed into a mold () such that the exposed first surface () of the carrier film () abuts at least a portion of the interior surface of the mold, and the decorated second surface () of the label () faces the interior space of the mold. Plastic material (e. g. , thermoplastic material) is injected into the mold against the decorated surface of the label, thus forming a molded article. The carrier film () is then separated from the molded article. At least a portion of the surface of the molded article prepared in accordance with the present method is defined by the first surface () of at least one label.

Abstract:

The invention provides novel modulatory polypeptides of TRAIL-induced apoptosis. The invention also provides methods for screening modulators of TRAIL-induced apoptosis. The methods comprise first screening test agents for modulators of a novel modulatory polypeptide of TRAIL-induced apoptosis and then further screening the identified modulating agents for modulators of TRAIL-induced apoptosis. The invention further provides methods and pharmaceutical compositions for modulating apoptosis of cells and for treating diseases and conditions such as cancers.
