  • Theranostic platform for targeted cancer therapy and drug delivery monitoring
    Patent number: 9655980
    Abstract: A compound that includes a quaterrylene dye moiety as core, and a dendrimeric shell. For example, the compound may comprise at least four dendronized polyamides covalently attached to a quaterrylene dye. Also disclosed is a compound, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or ester thereof, comprising A(G)x, wherein: A comprises a quaterrylene dye; G comprises at least one functionalized dendrimeric structure; and x is 2 to 16. The compounds may be used for in methods for monitoring a therapeutic or diagnostic agent in a subject, or for treating a subject by administering the compound to the subject.

  • LINEAR VOLTAGE REGULATING CIRCUIT ADAPTABLE TO A LOGIC SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20130169246
    Abstract: A linear voltage regulating circuit adaptable to a logic system is disclosed. A first linear voltage regulator receives an input voltage and a first reference voltage. A second linear voltage regulator has a load driving capability lower than the first linear voltage regulator, and the second linear voltage regulator receives the input voltage and a second reference voltage. An output node of the first linear voltage regulator and an output node of the second linear voltage regulator are directly connected at a single common output node. A single common capacitor is connected between the common output node and a ground.

  • EMISSIVE AND BROADBAND NONLINEAR ABSORBING METAL COMPLEXES AND LIGANDS AS OLED, OPTICAL SWITCHING OR OPTICAL SENSING MATERIALS
    Publication number: 20120100628
    Abstract: Platinum (II) terdentate or bidentate complexes with non-linear optical properties are provided. The complexes have a broadband spectral and temporal response, and strong reverse saturable absorption and two-photon absorption in the visible and the near-IR region. As such, the complexes are useful for organic light-emitting diodes and optical-switching or sensing devices.
