  • Patent number: 7170339
    Abstract: To provide a digital amplifier advantageously performing volume adjustment over a wide range. A first and second field effect transistors include N-channel type field effect transistors. The first field effect transistor has the drain connected to the operation voltage Vreg, the source connected to the drain of the second field effect transistor and the gate to which the first input signal is applied from the first level shifter for on/off operation. The second field effect transistor has the source connected to the ground potential as the reference voltage and the gate to which the second input signal is applied from the second level shifter for on/off operation.

  • Patent number: 6426403
    Abstract: This invention relates to a TRAF family molecule, a polynucleotide encoding the molecules, an antibody against the molecules, and an antisense polynucleotide of the molecule. Employing an oligo-DNA primer capable of amplifying the most highly conserved region of a known TRAF family molecule, PCR was performed with the aid of cDNA derived from various cell strains and tissues as a template. Thus, the base sequence of the gene of an unknown TRAF family molecule and the amino acid sequence of the TRAF family molecule encoded by the gene were elucidated. An antibody against the molecule was also prepared. By utilizing the TRAF family molecules, genes thereof, and antibodies against the molecules, there are provided methods for elucidating the functions of the proteins and methods for elucidating the signal transduction system of the TNF-R family involving the molecules, as well as probes for research and diagosis, which suggest applications in therapeutic agents.
