Abstract: Compounds of Formula I or a stereoisomer, tautomer, prodrug or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof are provided, which are useful for the treatment of hyperproliferative diseases. Methods of using compounds of Formula I or a stereoisomer, tautomer, prodrug or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, for in vitro, in situ, and in vivo diagnosis, prevention or treatment of such disorders in mammalian cells, or associated pathological conditions are disclosed.

Abstract: A method for composing an electronic program guide (EPG) metadata file, comprising receiving program metadata and converting the program metadata into a file using a Fast Infoset coding standard. The method is applied in a Metadata search server (MSS) for providing services relating to an electronic program guide (EPG), the MSS (1) in operation being in communication with a plurality of set top boxes (3), and one or more metadata providers (11, 12) which provide program metadata. The MSS (1) comprises an encoder (15) arranged to encode program metadata received from the one or more metadata provides (11, 12) into an EPG file to be broadcast using fast infoset (FI) standard.

Abstract: Method and meta-data search server (MSS 1) for providing services relating to an electronic program guide (EPG). The meta-data search server (1) is in operation in communication with a plurality of data receivers (STB's 3), and one or more meta-data sources (2) which provide program related data. The meta-data search server (1) is connected to a storage unit (9) and arranged to store content description meta-data, the content description meta-data comprising linear scheduling data and on-demand program data.

Abstract: A method is described by which the mechanical strength of chips of semiconductor devices can be controlled by appropriate wafer finishing and sorted by knowledge of the finishing method and chip and wafer geometry. The control and sorting derive from a knowledge of the geometry of the striations remaining on the back of chips after the wafer-grinding finishing step.

Abstract: A serpentine pattern has been found to be effective at interrupting propagation of delamination cracks in thin film layers. The ring is provided on a semiconductor chip to suppress crack propagation from the chip edge. The ring is effective even though it is filled with metal, the serpentine pattern providing significantly increased area as compared with a standard linear crack stop that the energy for crack propagation is dissipated. In addition to serpentines, pattern features such as staggered filled ring patterns and connected rings will also be effective at reducing the propagation of delamination cracks from edge to active area by virtue of the increased area of interaction between the crack and the crack stop.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for making an integrated circuit device comprising (I) a substrate, (ii) metallic circuit lines positioned on the substrate, and (iii) a dielectric material positioned on the circuit lines. The dielectric material comprises the condensation product of silsesquioxane precursor in the presence of an organic amine having a boiling point greater than 150.degree. C.

Abstract: A liquid-distribution garment worn in body-side combination with substantially impermeable protective apparel. The garment is composed of at least one layer of a hydrophilically transmuted reinforcing fabric; and at least one layer of a hydrophilically transmuted absorbent nonwoven fabric joined to the layer of reinforcing fabric so that the joined layers have a water wicking rate of at least about 4 centimeters per 30 seconds in at least one direction. The garment may contain a body portion, sleeve portions and/or leg portions, at least one of those portions being formed from the material composed of at least one layer of a hydrophilically transmuted reinforcing fabric and at least one layer of a hydrophilically transmuted absorbent nonwoven fabric. The garment may have sub-portions that contain superabsorbents.
