  • Patent number: 11967361
    Abstract: One example of the present disclosure includes performing a comparison operation in memory using a logical representation of a first value stored in a first portion of a number of memory cells coupled to a sense line of a memory array and a logical representation of a second value stored in a second portion of the number of memory cells coupled to the sense line of the memory array. The comparison operation compares the first value to the second value, and the method can include storing a logical representation of a result of the comparison operation in a third portion of the number of memory cells coupled to the sense line of the memory array.

  • Publication number: 20040038204
    Abstract: This invention provides therapeutic and diagnostic agent delivery vehicles, including viral vectors, that are complexed to a targeting moiety by coordinate covalent linkages mediated by a transition metal ion. The complex is typically formed with a transition metal ion that is in a kinetically labile oxidation state; after the complex is formed, the oxidation state of the transition metal ion is changed to one that renders the complex kinetically stable. The use of a coordinate covalent linkage to attach the targeting moiety to the delivery vehicle provides advantages such as the ability to readily attach a different targeting moiety to a delivery vehicle without modifying the delivery vehicle itself. This flexibility is achieved without sacrificing stability of the complex.

  • Patent number: 5833043
    Abstract: A portable radial stacker having improved stability during radial travel and operation and improved highway transport characteristics is disclosed. Existing material handling conveyor components may be retrofitted to embody the invention. The invention enables operators to transport portable radial stackers over public highways in most states without the requirement of using an escort because the maximum overall width in the transport configuration is 11 feet--6 inches. In addition, the width extends to more than 22 feet when configured for stacking operation and radial travel which provides greater stability than previous conveyors. Hydraulic fold-down outriggers convert the system between the transport configuration and the stacking configuration in only a few minutes which affords a great savings in time and labor. Transport wheels are equipped with air brakes and the radial travel wheels can be fitted with hydraulically actuated direct drive.
