  • SPARK GAPS WITH MULTIPLE TRIGGER VOLTAGES FOR ELECTRICAL OVERSTRESS DETECTION AND PROTECTION
    Publication number: 20250030237
    Abstract: Apparatuses including spark gap structures for electrical overstress (EOS) monitoring or protection, and associated methods, are disclosed. In an aspect, a vertical spark gap device includes a substrate having a horizontal main surface and a plurality of pairs of conductive layers over the horizontal main surface. Different ones of the pairs are separated by different vertical distances such that each pair serves as an arcing electrode pair and different ones of the arcing electrode pairs are configured to arc discharge at different voltages.

  • Inhibitor of C5a-mediated chemotaxis
    Patent number: 4772584
    Abstract: Polypeptides are disclosed which inhibit the binding of the C5a chemotaxin to polymorphonuclear leukocytes by cleaving a six amino acid peptide from the carboxy-terminus of the C5a chemotaxin. The polypeptides can be isolated from virulent strains of group A streptococci, s. pyogenes, by enzymatic or detergent extraction.
