  • Patent number: 8427894
    Abstract: A method and a dynamic Static Random Access Memory (SRAM) circuit for implementing single bit redundancy with any bit decode, and a design structure on which the subject circuit resides are provided. The SRAM circuit includes a plurality of bitline columns and a pair of redundancy columns respectively coupled to a respective merged bit column select and redundancy steering multiplexer. Each merged bit column select and redundancy steering multiplexer receives a respective select signal input. A select signal generation circuit receives a redundancy steering signal and a respective one-hot bit select signal, generating the respective select signal input.

  • Publication number: 20080003646
    Abstract: The present invention relates to improved antibodies against tumor surface antigens and their use in the treatment of tumors. Of particular interest are highly stable, humanized, high affinity antibodies against carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), especially the antibody we have termed sm3E, which is derived from the scFv antibody MFE-23. Such antibodies have the potential for improved therapeutic efficacy.

  • Publication number: 20070274991
    Abstract: The invention discloses methods of treatment of tumors that express oncogenic forms of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), such as EGFRvIII. The methods include testing of cancer patients for expression of EGFRvIII in their tumors, followed by treatment with a protein that contains antibody variable regions that recognize specific epitopes on the surface of the EGFR.

  • Publication number: 20050255555
    Abstract: The present invention relates generally to growth factor receptor epitope peptides, particularly EGF family receptor epitope peptides. The invention also relates to the use of the receptor peptides in generating antibodies which have anti-tumor or anti-cancer activity or in stimulating an immunological response. The invention further relates to antibodies specifically directed against the receptor peptides. Methods for generating an immune response and for treatment of tumors and cancer are also provided.
