  • Patent number: 9337724
    Abstract: A load-sensing voltage charge pump system may include a plurality of reference voltage inputs including a target voltage input. The system may also include a plurality of voltage charge pump segments equal in number to the plurality of reference voltage inputs. A voltage charge pump segment may include: a regulator that receives a reference voltage, and a voltage charge pump that outputs a current to a load at a sensed voltage. The regulator may enable each of the voltage charge pump segments, when the sensed voltage is less than or equal to the one of the reference voltages and the target voltage. The system may include a boosted line connected in parallel to an output of each of the voltage charge pump segments. The boosted line may receive the current at the sensed voltage from each of the voltage charge pump segments that is enabled.

  • Publication number: 20100297639
    Abstract: The present invention provides for assays useful in predicting whether a cancer patient risks suffering erythropoietin-induced tumor progression if treated with erythropoietin. More specifically, one embodiment provides for a validated quantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction assay that detects erythropoietin receptor expression, thus indicating whether a cancer patient risks suffering erythropoietin-induced tumor progression if treated with erythropoietin.

  • Publication number: 20100029500
    Abstract: The present invention provides an oligonucleotide array capable of identifying genes and related pathways involved with the induction of a particular phenotype by a cell line, e.g., the genes and related pathways involved with the induction of transgene expression by the cell line. The invention is particularly useful when there is little or no information about the genome of the cell line being studied, because it provides methods for identifying consensus sequences for known and previously undiscovered genes, and for designing oligonucleotide probes to the identified consensus sequences. Additionally, when the array is to be used to determine optimal conditions for expression of a transgene by the cell line, the invention teaches methods of including oligonucleotide probes to transgene sequences in the array. The invention also provides methods of using the array to identify genes and related pathways involved with the induction of a particular cell line phenotype.
