International Classification:

H03F 3/26

US Classification:

330267, 330277

Abstract:

An amplifier is provided that includes an output portion that sources and sinks current associated with an output load and an amplification portion that is biased by a relatively small bias current with respect to an output current of the amplifier. The amplification portion provides an amplified output signal to the output portion. The amplifier further comprises at least one impedance component coupled between the output portion and the amplification portion to alter at least one pole associated with the amplifier to mitigate instability of the amplifier related to the relatively small bias current.

Inventors:

Lin Chen - La Canada CA, US

International Classification:

G09G005/02

US Classification:

345/591000

Abstract:

A method of establishing a color image space model including the steps of: (a) setting a standard color card containing a series of reference colors for use as a color data bank, and then setting a table of relative adjectives; (b) setting a color comment questionnaire subject to the standard color card and table of relative objectives thus obtained; (c) selecting at least one particular group people to make an investigation subject to the set color comment questionnaire, and then collecting and arranging the investigation result thus obtained so as to set up effective statistic data; and (d) using an analysis mode to compute the effective statistic data thus obtained, so as to establish a specific color image space model.

International Classification:

C25D005/02

US Classification:

205/123000, 205/183000

Abstract:

A process for applying a metallization interconnect structure to a semiconductor workpiece having a barrier layer deposited on a surface thereof is set forth. The process includes the forming of an ultra-thin metal seed layer on the barrier layer. The ultra-thin seed layer having a thickness of less than or equal to about 500 Angstroms. The ultra-thin seed layer is then enhanced by depositing additional metal thereon to provide an enhanced seed layer. The enhanced seed layer has a thickness at all points on sidewalls of substantially all recessed features distributed within the workpiece that is equal to or greater than about 10% of the nominal seed layer thickness over an exteriorly disposed surface of the workpiece.

Abstract:

Disclosed are methods and compositions for modulating the function of transcription factors, especially transcription factors that recruit epigenetic regulators (histone modifying enzymes) to specific DNA promoters. The targeted transcription factors include but are not limited to the myocyte enhancing factor (MEF2), the forkhead/winged helix transcription factor FOXP3 and the transcription factor GATA3. Also disclosed are small molecule modulators of MEF2 and its associated factors that include but not limited to histone deacetylases (HDACs), p300/CBP and Cabin1 and the therapeutic applications thereof.

US Classification:

506 7, 435 619

Abstract:

Disclosed are methods and systems for determining the three-dimensional structure of chromatin in eukaryotic cells. More specifically, disclosed are methods and systems for obtaining chromatin structural information by surface immobilization, i.e tethering crosslinked protein:DNA complexes and/or ligated DNA complexes to media such as beads, gels, and or matrices during the conformation capture assay. In general, the method includes contacting a cell with a cross-linking reagent to cross-link DNA and protein in the cell; lysing the cell, producing cross-linked protein:DNA complexes by cutting the chromatin using a chemical, physical or enzymatic method, substantially immobilizing the cross-linked protein:DNA complexes, ligating the cross-linked protein:DNA complexes intramolecularly such that the ligated protein:DNA complexes represent structural organization of the chromatin; characterizing the ligated DNA by sequencing or other methods; and identifying any structural organization of the chromatin. The structural organization preferably includes information relating to interacting loci of the chromatin.
