  • Publication number: 20240186274
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for thermal distribution techniques in coupled semiconductor systems are described. A semiconductor system may be formed by coupling various semiconductor components with one another, and may also implement a semiconductor material to support a thermal path having a thermal conductivity that is relatively close to a thermal conductivity through the coupled semiconductor components of the semiconductor system. Such a semiconductor material may be located in regions of the semiconductor system that are otherwise unoccupied by functional (e.g., electrically operable) semiconductor components and may, in some examples, be electrically inoperable (e.g., may lack functional circuitry). For implementations in which functional semiconductor components are directly coupled (e.g., by fusion bonding or hybrid bonding techniques), the semiconductor material may also be directly coupled with at least one of the semiconductor components.

  • Publication number: 20240176523
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for techniques for coupled host and memory dies are described. For example, to distribute memory access circuitry among multiple semiconductor dies of a stack, a first die may include a set of one or more memory arrays and a first portion of the circuitry configured to access the set of memory arrays, and a second die may include a second portion of the circuitry configured to access the set of memory arrays. The first portion and the second portion of the circuitry configured to access a set of memory arrays may be communicatively coupled between the dies using various interconnection techniques, such as a fusion of conductive contacts of the respective memory dies. In some examples, the second die may also include the host itself (e.g., a host processor).

  • Patent number: 8616215
    Abstract: A container holds at least one surgical implement, has a lock mechanism, and has a signature label that impedes access to the surgical implement until the correct surgical site is confirmed. A method of using the container includes the steps of confirming the correct surgical site, signing the label and removing it from the container, placing the label in the medical record, unlocking the container, removing the implement, and beginning the surgery, wherein the surgical team is forced to pause to confirm the correct surgical site before starting the surgery. Preferably, the container top may be removed and placed between the surgeon and surgical technician to define a no-hands “neutral zone” to avoid being stuck by the sharps. Also, the container preferably includes compartments for storing used sharps and/or a local anesthetic-loaded syringe, and the top may be replaced and secured for safely disposing of the sharps after the surgery.

  • Publication number: 20090092968
    Abstract: One embodiment of the invention includes a method for testing a fluid for contamination by a mycobacterial organism. A plurality of individual standardized samples may be acquired from a plurality of predetermined sampling points and pooled into a pooled sample. The pooled sample may be analyzed using a polymerase chain reaction technique and the results compared against a pool concern level which is calculated from an individual concern level that governs each individual standardized sample.

  • Patent number: 5219997
    Abstract: A hybrid cell line is developed which produces a monoclonal antibody which binds to a unique antigenic site expressed on the surface of phagocytic cells. The monoclonal antibody binds to and activates a specific domain of the CD11b glycoprotein so as to inhibit adhesion dependent functions of the phagocytic cell, but it does not affect other phagocytic functions. This monoclonal antibody can be used as a reactant in an in vitro diagnostic immunoassay for detecting the unique antigenic site on the surface of normal human neutrophils.

  • Patent number: 4935234
    Abstract: A method of reducing tissue injury in humans or other animal species using a monoclonal antibody to inhibit specific phagocyte functions. The monoclonal antibody is selected to bind to phagocytic leukocytes for the purpose of inhibiting migration to an inflammatory site in the body and to inhibit the adhesion and spreading of activated leukocytes reaching such an area and then, block release of toxic substances by these cells. The monoclonal antibody is administered in vivo prior or early in the course of an experience leading to an injurious inflammatory response such as can result from restoration of myocardial blood flow interrupted by an acute coronary thrombosis.

  • Patent number: 4931395
    Abstract: A hybrid cell line capable of producing monoclonal antibodies uniquely specific to human neutrophils. The monoclonal antibody has no reactivity with other human peripheral blood cells and virtually no reactivity with granulocyte precursors or other cells in bone marrow. Further, there is no reactivity with human acute leukemia cells. One of the partners in the hybridoma fusion of a mouse spleen cell developed from using highly purified human granulocytes as the immunization agent. The monoclonal antibody further is characterized by its capability of being used to enumerate and isolate neutrophils in normal peripheral blood and patients with acute leukemia.
