Filed:

Mar 19, 2009

Appl. No.:

12/383077

Inventors:

Satpreet Singh - Plano TX, US
Fan Zhang - Plano TX, US

Assignee:

Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. - Suwon-si

International Classification:

G06F 12/00

US Classification:

711103, 711104

Abstract:

An apparatus and method for managing memory in low-end electronic devices is provided. The apparatus includes a memory management unit. The memory management unit configured to allocate a portion of random access memory and a portion of flash memory as swap areas. The memory management unit performs swapping operations by swapping pages of content between the random access memory swap area and one or more blocks of the flash memory swap area. Thereafter, a page of content can be loaded from the flash memory swap area. The memory management unit also allocates a portion of flash memory as a garbage collection area. The memory management unit transfers dirty pages from the flash swap area to the garbage collection unit to free up flash memory swap area blocks.

International Classification:

G01N 33/50

Abstract:

A cytotoxicity method for medical devices that has equivalent sensitivity, and greater efficiency compared to the colony formation assay (CFA) direct contact method is developed. The quantitative, direct contact cytotoxicity test method uses Mouse lymphoma TK or human lymphoblastoid TK6 suspension cells for medical device safety assessment. The advantages of using the suspension cell assay over adherent V79-4 cells is that this approach is quantitative, automated, not susceptible to potential mechanical damage imparted by the overlying test materials, and avoids issues related to non-adherence of cells to the test material which might impact the interpretation of test results.

International Classification:

A61B 10/00
A61K 49/00
A61K 9/00
A61K 31/19

Abstract:

A dendrimer formulation, such as a PAMAM dendrimer or a multiarm PEG polymeric formulation has been developed for oral administration to the gastrointestinal tract for treatment of inflammatory diseases associated with infection or cancer. In the preferred embodiment, the dendrimers are in the form of dendrimer nanoparticles comprising poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) hydroxyl-terminated dendrimers covalently linked to at least one therapeutic, prophylactic or diagnostic agent for treatment of one or more symptoms of necrotizing enterocolitis.

Abstract:

Compositions and methods for treating, alleviating, and/or preventing one or more symptoms associated with axonal degeneration in individuals in need thereof, such as individuals with peroxisomal disorders and leukodystrophies include one or more poly(amidoamine) dendrimers G1-G10, preferably G4-G6, complexed with therapeutic, prophylactic and/or diagnostic agent in an effective amount to treat, and/or prevent one or more symptoms associated with axonal degeneration are provided. Compositions are particularly suited for targeted delivery of therapeutics to the affected spinal neurons and may contain one or more additional targeting moieties.
