Patents by Inventor David Self

David Self has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 9094277
    Abstract: An integrated circuit device can include a radio-frequency device and a hard-wired lookup table. The radio-frequency device can have an analog input, a digital control input, and an analog output. An unadjusted transfer response of the analog output relative to the analog input and the digital control input can differ from an ideal transfer response. The hard-wired lookup table can be connected to the digital control input of the radio-frequency device to generate a modified digital control input based on a predetermined function. This can have the effect that the adjusted transfer response of the analog output relative to the analog input and the modified digital control input is closer to the ideal transfer response than the unadjusted transfer response of the analog output relative to the analog input and the digital control input. The predetermined function can be defined by metallization connections within the integrated circuit device.

  • Publication number: 20050143295
    Abstract: This invention describes gene targets for the development of therapeutics to treat drug addiction. Animal models of drug craving and relapse have been developed and used to find gene expression changes in key brain regions implicated in cocaine addiction. The genes whose expression levels are altered serve as pharmacological targets with the purpose of preventing or inhibiting cocaine craving and relapse in human cocaine addicts.
