  • BRIDGED ELEMENT FOR DETECTION OF A TARGET SUBSTANCE
    Publication number: 20180095081
    Abstract: Physical changes resulting from an association between a template molecule and a target molecule are detected by monitoring changes in the template molecule. Exemplary changes include a change in a physical dimension or stiffness of the template molecule, a change in electrical conductivity of the template molecule and a change in the energy required to dissociate the target molecule and the template molecule. The magnitude of the change is indicative of the specific identity of the target molecule.

  • System and method for accessing data in disparate information sources
    Patent number: 8055650
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide a system for generating and maintaining virtual and physical metadata layers in a MetaBase metadata repository in order to simplify and optimize the retrieval of data from a plurality of disparate information sources. The system stores in a physical metadata layer of a metadata repository a plurality of physical metadata elements, wherein each one of the physical metadata elements corresponds to the metadata elements in the plurality of information sources. Logical metadata elements are stored in the virtual metadata layer and are linked to the physical metadata elements in order to maintain the relationships therebetween. By maintaining the relationships between the physical metadata elements, users can initiate a data query request for data corresponding to a logical metadata element, and the system is configured to retrieve the desired data from the relevant information sources.

  • Device for estimating cell delay from a table with added voltage swing
    Patent number: 7181710
    Abstract: A method and computer program for estimating a cell delay for an integrated circuit design include steps of selecting a range of values for cell ramptime and load and a range of values for an additional cell parameter. The values for cell ramptime, load, and the additional cell parameter are arranged in a lookup table. A cell delay is calculated for each combination of cell ramptime, load, and the additional cell parameter for the lookup table.
