Abstract: An attenuator includes passgates for providing attenuation of received signals at desired frequencies. The passgates are controlled by source followers implemented with transistors that receive the differential signals at their control terminals. Current provided to the source follower transistors can be set to provide an attenuation level at a desired frequency to offset the effects of the communications channel and parasitics of the receiver. In some embodiments, the current provided to the source follower transistors maybe programmable.

Abstract: A processor-implemented method for multi-chiplet safety island-based safety error management includes monitoring, by a first safety integrated circuit (IC) of a system-on-a-chip (SoC), a first chiplet of multiple chiplets of the SoC for one or more fault conditions. The first safety IC aggregates a first set of the one or more fault conditions for the first chiplet of the multiple chiplets of the SoC. The first safety IC communicates information of the first set of the one or more fault conditions for the first chiplet of the multiple chiplets of the SoC to a second safety IC of the SoC.

Abstract: A circuit includes a bandgap circuit configured to generate multiple reference voltages. A first voltage glitching detection circuit utilizes a first one of the reference voltages and a first power rail to generate a first reset signal in response to a voltage glitching attack on the first power rail, and a second voltage glitching detection circuit operates independently of the reference voltages to generate a second reset signal in response to the voltage glitching attack on the first power rail.

The bracket has a channel through which at least a portion of the connector is disposed. The slide that is transitionable between a first position in which the connector is unsecured to the bracket, and a second position in which the connector is secured to the bracket.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed generally to methods for characterizing response to one or more therapies in patients with clinically apparent cancer, or recurrence of disease in treated cancer patients with no clinically apparent cancer. Also disclosed are methods for detecting and/or treating a cancer using allele imbalance and chromosomal instability.

Abstract: Determining whether a particular sample is what it is labeled or sold as is an important concept, particularly to those who buy or sell food products. Particularly for end users, a fast, efficient, accurate way of determining whether a sample is being accurately marketed and sold is necessary. This invention allows a user to rapidly determine if a product is from a certain species or not, based on genetic markers for that product.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to chimeric small molecules, which find utility as modifiers of target substrates according to the formula A-L1-E-B or A-L1-E-L2-B, wherein A is a kinase binding moiety; B is a target binding moiety; L1 and L2 are each a linker; and E is an electrophilic reactive group. Molecules according to the present invention find use making substrate modifications such as post-translational modifications to targets that are not the natural substrate of the kinase; accordingly, diseases or disorders may be treated or prevented with molecules of the present disclosure.

Abstract: Alloy castings are provided and comprise Nb, Ta, V, Ti, and optional Hf in controlled proportions to impart unprecedented and unexpected high ductility in refractory based alloys. Certain alloys are extremely ductile (able to sustain >50% cold roll reduction without fracture) while have high hardness (about 400HV). The combination of high thermodynamic phase stability, low-temperature ductility, and strength at room temperature makes the disclosed alloy family likely candidates as next-generation high temperature structural alloys.

Abstract: A squelch detection device is provided. The squelch detection device receives first and second input signals and first and second threshold voltages. The squelch detection device determines a first common mode of the first and second input signals and a second common mode of the first and second threshold voltages. The squelch detection device averages the first common mode with the second common mode to produce an average common mode and sets the first common mode of the first and second input signals to the average common mode. The squelch detection device sets the second common mode of the first and second threshold voltages to the average common mode and determines a state of a squelch signal, indicative of whether the first and second input signals are attributable to noise, based on the first and second input signals and the first and second threshold voltages.

Abstract: Techniques for generating an interactive visualization tool for building nested queries are disclosed. The interactive nested query visualization tool allows a user to observe, analyze, and modify query characteristics and attributes of a set of nested queries. A system displays an interactive visual depiction of a set of nested queries. Visual representations of the nested queries are positioned relative to each other based on the relationships between the nested queries. The system displays, simultaneously with the set of nested queries, editable fields for a selected query. The system modifies a functionality of a user interface based on which of the nested queries is selected.

Abstract: Techniques for modifying queries in a set of nested queries are disclosed. A graphical user interface displays a query detail region alongside a nested query display region. The graphical user interface includes functionality to provide for modification of queries in the nested set of queries. Based on a selection by a user, a query modification tool promotes a query attribute from a child query to one or more parent queries. Based on another selection by a user associated with one query in the set of nested queries, the system deletes an attribute from each query in the set of nested queries. Responsive to a selection to create multiple conditions for a query rule, the system modifies the functionality of the user interface to enable entry of multiple condition characteristics. Based on a further selection, the system creates the multiple conditions for the query rule.
