  • Publication number: 20230136600
    Abstract: Provided is a method and a device for screening an antigen epitope polypeptide. The screening method includes: predicting one or more antigen epitopes with all proteome sequences of a target coronavirus to obtain a predicted epitope region; screening a polypeptide with a differential response to a positive serum sample infected by the target coronavirus and a control serum sample with a polypeptide chip technology, and recording the polypeptide as a differential peptide fragment; comparing the differential peptide fragment with all proteome sequences of the target coronavirus to obtain a first conserved motif region; screening regions meeting epitope screening conditions from the predicted epitope region and the first conserved motif region to obtain the antigen epitope, wherein the epitope screening conditions comprise a non-phosphorylation region and/or an extracellular region of the target coronavirus.

  • Publication number: 20140193832
    Abstract: The present invention features novel methods for determining if a subject has prostate cancer. The present invention is based on the development of lectin immunosorbant assays which analyze ?2,6-linked sialylation of total serum PSA by sambucus nigra lectin (SNA) and ?2,3-linked sialylation of total and free serum PSA. These novel assays were used then to conduct a clinical investigation of the potential role of glycoprotein analysis in improving PSA's cancer specificity. The present invention also features kits for determining if a subject has prostate cancer comprising one or more lectins and a PSA specific antibody and instructions for use.

  • Patent number: 8228124
    Abstract: A class G headphone amplifier circuit with improved power efficiency and low EMI. It may use an automatic signal level detector to detect the signal level of incoming signals and determine positive and negative power supplies for headphone amplifiers accordingly. A voltage generator may generate pairs of differential output voltages at a plurality of amplitude steps, and supply to headphone amplifiers the pair with the amplitude determined by the automatic signal level detector. As a result, headphone amplifiers are biased according to the input signal level, and the multiple voltage rails may improve power efficiency and avoid clipping.

  • Publication number: 20100058534
    Abstract: There is herein described a single handle pressure balancing spool valve for mixing user-adjustable hot and cold water flow to a fixture such as a shower or tub and to adjust the rate of mixed water flow. A rotatable disc with hot and cold intake openings and an outlet opening are provided which control the degree of covering on the inlet ports of the valve. Pressure balancing of inlet pressure is provided within the valve by means of a piston-cylinder assembly to compensate for fluctuations in water inlet pressure to avoid scalding of the user.

  • Patent number: 5705432
    Abstract: A unique photoresist process is provided which achieves clean and complete lift-off of a thin film layer such as a sputtered thin film formed on a photoresist which is formed above a semiconductor substrate. The process of the present invention relies on a reentrant photoresist profile which breaks the continuity of the thin film layer. Accordingly, the process of the present invention ensures a clean lift-off. The desired photoresist profile which breaks the continuity of the thin film layer can be obtained by a typical photoresist process preceded by an oxidation process that takes place on the surface of the semiconductor substrate. The oxidation process provides a thin native oxide layer with thickness ranging from about 30 to 50 .ANG.. No extra processing steps involving dielectric film deposition and etch are required to achieve clean lift-off. Nevertheless, the process of the present invention ensures the clean lift-off of the thin film layer.

  • Patent number: 5556797
    Abstract: A method of fabricating a self-aligned double gate recess profile in a semiconductor substrate is disclosed in which a first mask layer is formed over the substrate. A second mask layer having an opening is formed over the first mask layer. An opening at least as wide as the second mask layer's opening is formed through the first mask layer to expose the substrate beneath the second mask layer's opening. A first recess is etched in the semiconductor through the second mask layer's opening. The first mask layer's opening is then uniformly expanded and a wider recess, aligned to the first recess, is then formed in the semiconductor. The method is particularly applicable to the formation of self-aligned gate and channel recesses in a GaAs MESFET.

  • Patent number: 5436201
    Abstract: A semiconductor substrate is etched in a two-step sequence, with two different liquid etchants that have different lateral etch rates. The relative time periods for which the etchants are applied are selected to achieve a close match between the actual etch profile and the desired profile. The process is particularly applicable to the formation of a gate recess in a GaAs MESFET for high power amplification.
