  • Publication number: 20240203379
    Abstract: Systems and techniques for aggregation, display, and sharing of data. Graphic items representing data objects identified by a data package may be displayed on timelines. Each timeline may be associated with a respective class of data, and each graphic item displayed on a respective timeline may represent one or more of the data objects in the class associated with the respective timeline. A prediction may be made regarding which data will be displayed in the near future. A pre-fetch request may be generated, and the predicted data may be retrieved from a remote server and stored in a local data cache before the user requests that the predicted data be displayed.

  • Publication number: 20240071832
    Abstract: A variety of applications can include apparatus having p-channel metal-oxide-semiconductor (PMOS) transistors and n-channel metal-oxide-semiconductor (NMOS) transistors with different metal silicide contacts. The active area of the NMOS transistor can include a first metal silicide having a first metal element, where the first metal silicide is a vertical lowest portion of a contact for the NMOS. The PMOS transistor can include a stressor source/drain region to a channel region of the PMOS transistor and a second metal silicide directly contacting the stressor source/drain region without containing the first metal element. The process flow to form the PMOS and NMOS transistors can enable making simultaneous contacts by a pre-silicide in the active area of the NMOS transistor, without affecting stressor source/drain regions in the PMOS transistor. The process flow and resulting structures for PMOS transistors and NMOS transistors can be used in various integrated circuits and devices.

  • Patent number: 10876096
    Abstract: Cell culture compositions containing LFM-A13 or a structurally related compound can enhance global hepatic function. For example, LFM-A13 is shown to enhance levels of a broad variety of drug metabolism enzymes, including CYP enzymes, and other hepatic enzymes. LFM-A13 is also shown to promote differentiation of stem cells into hepatocytes. LFM-A13 and structurally related compounds can be used in cell culture to enhance global drug metabolism of liver cells for enhanced in vitro study the effects of drug metabolism on other candidate drug compounds.
