Abstract: The present invention relates to isolated and engineered human antibodies that specifically bind to at least one conformational (non-linear) epitope of HBsAg and neutralize hepatitis B virus infection, methods for producing the same, and uses thereof in treating human HBV infection.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of a matured, glycosylated Spike (S) protein of SARS Coronavirus, fragments of the S protein, methods for producing the same, their use in detecting SARS infection, and their use or the use of their corresponding antibodies to treat patients suffering from SARS.

Abstract: Compositions related to expressed severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) coronavirus group-specific polypeptides are provided. Further provided are methods and compositions related to the use of these polypeptides, in particular use for inducing apoptosis in cells, diagnosing SARS infection and screening for modulator and inhibitor compounds of such polypeptides and in turn the virus itself, and in the treatment and/or prophylaxis of disease caused by SARS infection.

Abstract: The present invention provides a disinfecting system that uses ultraviolet light to disinfect a toilet seat and toilet bowl. The disinfecting system is mounted to a toilet seat cover. A control is used to activate the system when the toilet seat cover is lowered. An indicator light can be mounted to an opposing side of the toilet seat. The indicator light can be used to provide an indication that the system is currently operating or to indicate other status changes in the system.

Abstract: A package for reducing signal cross talk between wire bonds of semiconductor packages. The package includes a semiconductor die having a plurality of bond pads formed thereon. The bond pads arranged in a first subset of bond pads and a second subset of bond pads. The package also includes a substrate having a plurality of contact points, the plurality of contact points are arranged in a first subset of contact points and a second subset of contact points. To reduce signal cross talk, the wire bonds are arranged such that a first subset of wire bonds are electrically coupled between the first subset of bond pads and the first subset of the contact points. The first subset of wire bonds have ball bonds formed on the first subset of bond pads and stitch bonds formed on the first subset of contact points respectively. A second subset of wire bonds are electrically coupled between the second subset of bond pads and the second subset of the contact points.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for isolating failed routing resources on a programmable circuit. Failing test patterns and the test logs are fed to a Statistical Failure Isolation (SFI) tool. The SFI tool extracts failing paths from the test patterns. A statistical analysis is performed on interconnect resources related to failing paths. The resources on the paths are then tallied to create a histogram of resources. These resources are then be fed into an Adaptive Failure Isolation (AFI) tool to auto-generate verification patterns. A tester uses the verification patterns to isolate failed interconnect resources.
