  • COMPOSITION FOR TREATMENT OF DYSLIPIDEMIA AND INFLAMMATION
    Publication number: 20170014374
    Abstract: The present invention provides compositions that are substantially niacin free for treating dyslipidemia and/or inflammation in a subject. Compositions of the invention include a therapeutically effective amount of a mixture phytosomes obtained from quercetin and at least one other phytosome obtained from the group consisting of curcurmin, green tea, and a combination thereof. The present invention also provides a method for treating dyslipidemia and/or inflammation in a subject.

  • Depletion controlled isolation stage
    Patent number: 5977596
    Abstract: An input protection device is presented having a depletion controlled isolation stage. In one embodiment of the invention, a depletion controlled isolation resistor is formed between adjacent N+ diffused regions by N-well diffusion. One N+ diffused region electrically contacts an input bond pad and a primary protective device. The other N+ diffused region electrically contacts a second protective device and the internal circuit it is to protect. The depletion controlled isolation resistor limits the amount of current passing through the resistor to a safe level during an over-voltage condition. In another embodiment of the invention, a depletion controlled isolation stage includes a silicon controlled rectifier (SCR) as the primary protective device in combination with the depletion controlled isolation resistor.
