  • Patent number: 11959167
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide processes to selectively form a cobalt layer on a copper surface over exposed dielectric surfaces. In one embodiment, a method for capping a copper surface on a substrate is provided which includes positioning a substrate within a processing chamber, wherein the substrate contains a contaminated copper surface and a dielectric surface, exposing the contaminated copper surface to a reducing agent while forming a copper surface during a pre-treatment process, exposing the substrate to a cobalt precursor gas to selectively form a cobalt capping layer over the copper surface while leaving exposed the dielectric surface during a vapor deposition process, and depositing a dielectric barrier layer over the cobalt capping layer and the dielectric surface.

  • Patent number: 11874865
    Abstract: Improved artificial intelligence computer systems actively and/or passively provide end-users with information from firm data systems to help the end-user perform the end-user's job functions. In a passive implementation, the system can prioritize emails for a user, craft consistent responses to multiple email inquiries on the same topic, and/or craft responses whose content is drawn from a library of electronic documents. In an active implementation, the system comprises AI agents associated with individual databases of the system, where the AI agents are tuned to retrieve data from their associated database in response to a query from the end-user.

  • Publication number: 20100183630
    Abstract: Surprisingly, the present inventors have discovered that expression of TAT-005 protein in human patients is associated with cancer, and that the over-expressed protein is present in plasma membrane fractions. Thus, the present inventors have discovered that TAT-005 is associated with abnormal development and growth, and may be useful as a target for the identification of anti-cancer com\ pounds, including antibodies for use in immunotherapy. Accordingly, the present invention provides methods for the identification of compounds that inhibit TAT-005 expression or activity, comprising: contacting a candidate compound with a TAT-005 and detecting the presence or absence of binding between said compound and said TAT-005, or detecting a change in TAT-005 expression or activity. Methods are also included for the identification of compounds that modulate TAT-005 expression or activity, comprising: administering a compound to a cell or cell population, and detecting a change in TAT-005 expression or activity.

  • Publication number: 20060287834
    Abstract: Systems, methods, computer programming product, and databases for virtual mass spectrometry (VMS) enable the identification of polypeptides in samples without acquisition of MS/MS fragmentation spectra. Methods according to the invention employ databases containing records corresponding to polypeptides potentially present in samples. In addition to identifying polypeptides, such databases may be used for other purposes, including for example to correct experimental data, e.g., for analytical systemic errors.

  • Publication number: 20060269945
    Abstract: The present invention features computer methods and systems for comparing biomolecules across biological samples. In these methods, mass spectrometry measurements are obtained on biomolecules in two or more samples. These measurements are then processed and analyzed by the methods described herein to render them more comparable. We refer to this technology as “Constellation Mapping” (CM). The resulting data, constellation maps, can be used to compare the abundance of biomolecules across samples, and, when done in real time, can be used to select differentially abundant biomolecules for subsequent LC/MS-MS.
