Abstract: A circuit for detecting charger connection through a universal serial bus (UBS) connector is disclosed. The circuit includes a comparator having a first input coupled to a fixed voltage reference and a second input coupled to D+ pin of the USB connector, a voltage controlled current source (VCCS) coupled having a first terminal coupled to a supply and a second terminal coupled to the D+ pin and a resistor coupled between the first terminal and the second terminal of the VCCS. The VCCS is configured to bring voltage at the D+ pin within a preselected voltage range at the D+ pin when the voltage at the D+ pin varies beyond the preselected voltage range.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods of diagnosing breast cancer in a patient, as well as methods of monitoring the progression of breast cancer and/or methods of monitoring a treatment protocol of a therapeutic agent or a therapeutic regimen.

Abstract: A system, method, and apparatus for retrofitting a fluorescent light fixture accommodating an LED-based lighting system. A track is electrically connected to the driver module. The track includes at least one electronic conductor that is connected along the length of the track. At least one track adapter may connect to the track, and the track adapter includes a locking mechanism that allows the track adapter to connect to the track at any location along the track and the track may be removed. The locking mechanism may permit the track adapter to be removable. At least one light engine module can connect to the track and may also be removable.
