  • Use of centrifugation-aided infection to increase virus titer
    Patent number: 10066213
    Abstract: The invention relates to a process for increasing the observed titer of a virus stock for the purpose of increasing the calculated log reduction (LRV) in virus clearance studies. A tissue culture or assay plate is seeded with an indicator cell line and titrated with a virus stock followed, by a centrifugation step for about 5 minutes to about 24 hours at a g-force ranging from about 50×g to about 2400×g, and at a temperature from about 4° C. to about 39° C. The resulting calculated virus titer after undergoing the centrifugation step is 10-fold higher than the virus titer would be if determined in the absence of the centrifuging step.

  • Electronic package design with improved power delivery performance
    Patent number: 6703697
    Abstract: An electronic package with improved power delivery performance, lowering the impedance associated with the power delivery. The electronic package includes an integrated circuit die mounted on the substrate of the electronic package and decoupling capacitors placed underneath the substrate. The package further includes stand-offs placed underneath the substrate, sized for maintaining a distance between the capacitors and another substrate.
