Abstract: A flip-flop circuit uses a multiple input conditional inverter activated by clock signals to transfer a sample of the input data to a keeper circuit. The keeper circuit signal is buffered to provide the flip-flop circuit output.

Abstract: A magnetic memory cell includes first and second magneto-resistive devices connected in series. The first and second magneto-resistive devices have sense layers with different coercivities. Magnetic Random Access Memory (MRAM) devices may include arrays of these memory cells.

Abstract: A bioavailable oral dosage form of loratadine of specific particle size and surface area.

Abstract: The present invention provides an active primer that includes an electronically active material dispersed in a binder. The active primer can be disposed between a thermal transfer donor sheet and a receptor to assist selective thermal transfer of a material from the donor sheet to the receptor to form at least a portion of an electronic device on the receptor. The binder of the active primer can be selected to improve adhesion of the transferred material to the receptor, or to enhance other transfer properties. The electronically active material of the active primer can be selected to maintain a desired level of functionality in the electronic device being patterned on the receptor.

Abstract: The present invention provides for the production of ASA from yeast capable of producing ASA from KLG. The present invention provides methods for the production of ASA as well as recombinant yeast capable of producing ASA from a carbon source.

Abstract: A dual inlaid interconnect fabrication method using a temporary filler in a via during trench etch and removal of the filler after trench etch. This provides via bottom protection during trench etch.

Abstract: A method for allowing flexible creation and alteration of business processes within a commerce system includes using state machines to describe the actions that can be taken by particular roles at particular points in a process. The state machines are used by a commerce system to enforce validity of user actions, to track the execution of actions within an instance of the business process, to provide the user interface with a list of actions available to a user working on an instance of the business process, to provide coordination between state machines, and to allow different organizations to have varied business processes.

Abstract: A method for controlled oxide growth on transistor gates. A first film (40) is formed on a semiconductor substrate (10). The film is implanted with a first species and patterned to form a transistor gate (45) . The transistor gate (45) and the semiconductor substrate (10) is implanted with a second species and the transistor gate (45) oxidized to produce an oxide film (80) on the side surface of the transistor gate (45).

Abstract: A method implemented according to the invention allows a user to specify with particularity hierarchical structures such as computer hardware and peripheral equipment in such a way that it simplifies the storing, retrieving, and manipulation of the information.

Abstract: A solid-state memory including an array of magnetic storage cells and a set of conductors. The process steps that pattern the conductors also patterns the magnetic layers in the magnetic storage cells thereby avoiding the need to employ precise alignment between pattern masks.

Abstract: A system for synchronizing the upstream burst transmission in a cable system to a time specified by the cable head end is disclosed. The system includes a free running counter within a cable modem (CM) or network interface unit (NIU), along with logic to capture the value of this free running counter at the time a frame of MPEG-2 SYNC data arrives, to create a time tag stored in memory. A computer within the cable modem or network interface unit has access to the time tags in memory and the contents of a time synchronization message from the head end, also stored in memory. The computer contains a program to calculate the value of the local counter that corresponds to a time to transmit commanded by the cable system head end. The system includes logic within the CM or NIU to initiate an upstream burst transmission when the value of the local counter becomes equal to a calculated value, thus causing the cable modem to initiate its upstream burst transmission precisely at the time commanded by the head end.

Abstract: A method is provided for use in solid phase chemical synthesis such as in the synthesis of polypeptides, peptoids, and other molecules synthesized by solid phase methods. The method is used to identify compounds having activity against a selected target, wherein the compounds are present in a mixture obtained from a combinatorial library. A bead distributor probe is also provided. The probe is used to extract beads from a population of beads, and then deliver the bead to a selected location. A capillary bead insert is also provided, as well as a bead distribution system which includes both a bead distributor probe and a capillary bead insert.
