Abstract: A bandage is described which includes a plurality of individual heating elements, each element being able to be individually heated to direct thermal energy to a specific area of the bandage, and a controller operable to control the plurality of individual bandages.

Abstract: A regulated heat source is described that can be applied to the nail bed in order to accelerate the death of the organisms know to contribute to nail bed infections

Abstract: Methods of treating skin diseases such as plaque psoriasis and inverse psoriasis include topical application of one or a combination of caffeic acid phenethyl ester, caffeic acid benzyl ester, and analogs thereof as an active agent. A pharmaceutical composition containing the active agent may further include a cell differentiating agent such as a retinoid, and/or vitamin D or analogs thereof. The method enables treatment of a lesion with active agent dosages of ten percent by weight, for example.

Abstract: A multi-configurable HSTL/LVCMOS/Open-Drain output driver circuit includes push-pull and open-drain transistors that are selectively enabled/disabled depending upon the desired mode of operation.

Abstract: A cascode logic circuit provides a pair of differential output nodes that are pulled up by a pair of cross-coupled P-channel output transistors. The output nodes are connected to outputs of an N-channel combinatorial network that receives a differential input and functions to connect one of the output nodes to a positive supply and the other to ground, depending upon the differential input, thus providing a push-pull effect. The output nodes may be connected to the differential output of the combinatorial network by source-drain paths of separate N-channel transistors, with the gates of these transistors connected to the positive supply to capacitively isolate the output nodes from the combinatorial network; alternatively, the gates of these transistors may be clocked. A fully static latch is provided by adding cross-coupled N-channel transistors connecting the output nodes to ground, so the low side of the output is held down instead of being allowed to float.

Abstract: Amide and ester derivatives of substituted-4(1H)-oxocinnoline-3-carboxylic acids have antibacterial activity and are useful for inhibiting the growth of disease causing bacteria.
