  • Patent number: 10389956
    Abstract: Provided are image sensors. An image sensor includes a pixel array comprising pixels configured to output signal voltages, each of the pixels comprising first and second photodiodes, first and second transfer transistors connected to the first and second photodiodes, respectively, and a floating diffusion node to which the first and second transfer transistors are connected; a ramp voltage generator configured to generate a ramp voltage that decreases with a slope according to a ramp clock to have a first gain; a correlation double sampler (CDS) configured to compare the ramp voltage with the signal voltages to output a comparison signal; a counter configured to count the comparison signal according to a counter clock to output a digital signal; and a digital scaling unit configured to scale the digital signal to have a second gain.

  • Patent number: 9562227
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for screening anticancer agent or SIP1/ZEB2 inhibitor using integrin alpha 5 (ITGA5), more precisely a method for measuring integrin alpha 5 expression pattern in SIP1/ZEB2 over-expressing cell line or SIP1/ZEB2 expression induced cell line, both treated with sample compounds, by comparing with that of the control. The method of the present invention facilitates screening of anticancer agent or SIP1/ZEB2 inhibitor simply by measuring integrin alpha 5 expression, so that it can be effectively applied in the field of medicine.
