  • Patent number: 8416900
    Abstract: A method and circuit for dynamically changing the frequency of clock signals. The method including: detecting an edge of a first clock signal operating at a first frequency using a second clock signal operating at a second frequency; detecting an edge of the second clock signal using the first clock signal; detecting coincident edges of the first and the second clock signals; and changing the second frequency to a third frequency different from the second frequency upon detection of the coincident edges.

  • Patent number: 7529962
    Abstract: In one general embodiment, a design structure is provided including a first delay line having at least one buffer, the first delay line being for shifting a clock, a second delay line having at least one buffer, the second delay line being for shifting data, and a logic block adapted to identify a predetermined section of a data window. Additionally, the logic block monitors a clock signal along predetermined portions of the delay line to identify the predetermined section of the data window. Once the predetermined section of the data window is identified the logic block forwards the data associated with the predetermined section to an output pin, with the proviso that no memory element is present, and with the proviso that no feedback line is present.

  • Patent number: 7480888
    Abstract: A design structure embodied in a machine-readable medium is disclosed in one embodiment of the invention as including a flexible logic block to facilitate engineering changes at selected locations within an IC. The flexible logic block has a consistent and identifiable structure such that a simple automated process may be used to reconfigure the structure to perform different logical operations. In certain embodiments, the flexible logic block includes a circuit, such as a multiplexer, having multiple inputs and at least one output. A metal interconnect structure is coupled to the inputs and enables connection of each of the inputs to one of several electrical potentials using a focused-ion-beam (FIB) tool. In this way, the circuit may be configured to perform different logical operations after components in the IC exist in hardware.

  • Publication number: 20080070258
    Abstract: The present invention relates to PNA derivatives which carry, at the C terminus, or at both the C and N termini of the PNA backbone, one or more phosphoryl radicals. The phosphoryl radicals carry, where appropriate, one or more labeling groups, groups for crosslinking, groups which promote intracellular uptake, or groups which increase the binding affinity of the PNA derivative for nucleic acids. The invention furthermore relates to a process for preparing the above-mentioned PNA derivatives and to their use as pharmaceuticals or diagnostic agents.

  • Publication number: 20080057327
    Abstract: The present invention relates to ceramic cutting tools, such as, a aluminum oxide with zirconium oxide ceramic cutting tool with diffusion bonding enhanced layer and CVD coatings, particularly useful for machining modem metal materials. The method comprises a chemical reaction with a mixture including nitrogen and aluminum chloride introduced to form a diffusion bonding enhanced layer between the ceramic substrate and the CVD coatings. Thus formed diffusion bonding is highly adherent to the aluminum oxide with zirconium oxide ceramic substrate and significantly enhances the CVD coating properties, and thus improving the machining performance in terms of the tool life of zirconium-based aluminum oxide with zirconium oxide ceramic cutting tools.

  • Patent number: 7259159
    Abstract: The present invention relates to acylguanidino derivatives of formula (I), in which R1, R2, R3, A, B, X, Y and n have the meanings indicated in claim 1, their physiologically tolerable salts and their prodrugs. The compounds of the formula (I) are valuable pharmaceutically active compounds. They are vitronectin receptor antagonists and inhibitors of cell adhesion and bone resorption by osteoclasts. This renders them suitable, for example, for the therapy and prophylaxis of illness which are based on the interaction between vitronectin receptors and their ligands in cell-cell or cell-matrix interaction processes or which can be prevented, alleviated or cured by influencing such interactions. For example, they can be applied for treating and preventing osteoporosis, or for inhibiting undesired angiogenesis or proliferation of cells of the vascular smooth muscles.

  • Publication number: 20070189864
    Abstract: A cutting insert for milling operations, such as, face milling, slot milling, plunge milling, and ramping operations. The cutting insert exhibits a combination of favorable cutting edge strength, and unique cutting edge geometry, thus, allowing milling operations at relatively high feed rates. The cutting insert includes at least four cutting edges, wherein at least one of the cutting edges is a convex cutting edge. Certain embodiments of square cutting inserts will have four convex cutting edges which may be connected by nose corners. The convex cutting edge may comprise at least one of a circular arc, a portion of an ellipse, a portion of a parabola, a multi-segment spline curve, a straight line, or combinations of these. Wherein the convex cutting edge comprises a circular arc, the circular arc may have a radius greater than or equal to two times a radius of the largest circle that may be inscribed on the top surface.
