  • Patent number: 9580523
    Abstract: Elastomeric polymers and compounded elastomers having reduced amounts of leachables and improved resistance to ?-irradiation sterilization suitable for pharmaceutical stopper and seal applications. These polymers and compounded elastomers maintain their physical performances upon being exposed to ?-irradiation over time and typical use conditions. The polymer is prepared by reacting a mixture of i) a C4 to C7 isoolefin monomer, ii) a styrene based monomer, and optionally iii) a C4 to C14 multiolefin monomer wherein the polymer contains 5 to 15 wt % of styrene derived units.

  • Patent number: 8861283
    Abstract: Disclosed are apparatus and devices for programming and operating a programmable memory array portion coupled with a leakage reduction circuit. At the leakage reduction circuit, a frame bias signal that indicates a majority state of the memory array portion can be received. During idle states of the programmable memory array portion, at least one shared bit line of the memory array portion can be selectively biased based on the received frame bias signal. In one aspect, a first one of two bit lines is biased to a first state, while the second one of the two bits lines is biased to a second state that is opposite the first state. In a further aspect, the first state is a same state as the majority state of the memory array portion.
