Abstract: A three-dimensional (3D) package includes one or more frames, circuit assemblies, and an encapsulating material to encapsulate at least a part of the one or more frames and the circuit assemblies. The one or more frames each include one or more supporting portions and conductive connecting portions extending from the one or more supporting portions and defining assembly mounting spaces therebetween. Circuit assemblies are each mounted in one assembly mounting space and electrically attached to corresponding one or more of the first and second conductive connecting portions.

Abstract: Disclosed embodiments may include a power converter package including devices stacked vertically. The devices include a first device and a second device. The first device includes a first switched capacitor circuit and provides first bottom bonding contacts on one surface and first top bonding contacts on another surface opposite the one surface, and one or more through-vias connecting corresponding one or more of the first bottom bonding contacts and corresponding one or more of the first top bonding contacts. The second device includes a second switched capacitor circuit and provides second bottom bonding contacts on one surface to be electrically connected to the first top bonding contacts of the first device. Input terminals of the first and switched capacitor circuits are electrically connected to each other, and output terminals of the first and switched capacitor circuits are electrically connected to each other.

Abstract: Drug screening assays useful in the discovery of pharmaceutically active compounds for use in the treatment of diseases involving abnormal lipid metabolism including diabetic neuropathy are taught. In particular, the control region of delta-5-desaturase gene is taught as a target for the drug screening methods, which serve to identify nucleotides, proteins, compounds and/or other pharmacological agents, which modulate the activity of desaturase enzymes or regulate the level of expression of the desaturase genes. Cell-based and cell lysate assays are taught for detecting components that interact with the desaturase enzymes and modify fatty acid profiles. In addition, cell-based and cell lysate assays are used to identify functional and regulatory elements controlling expression of the desaturase genes as well as to screen for components that modulate the transcriptional activity of the desaturase genes. Also taught is the gene for rat delta-5-desaturase.

Abstract: The present invention relates to elongase genes, their polypeptides and their control regions, and the use of such genes, polypeptides and control regions in determining compositions for use in the treatment of disease. The identified compositions regulate the expression of the elongase genes or modulate the activity of their protein products. The nucleotide and amino acid sequences are taught for ELG4, ELG6 and ELG7. The control sequences and function are taught for ELG1, ELG2, ELG3, ELG4, ELG5, ELG6 and ELG7.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods for identifying genes regulated by fat and their subsequent use in determining compositions for use in the treatment of disease, by utilizing the identified genes and their proteins. The identified compositions regulate the expression of the fat regulated genes or modulate the activity of their protein products. The nucleotide and amino acid sequences for METP, a novel mitochondrial carrier protein and FTF1, a fat responsive transcription factor, are taught. The nucleotide sequence for A1BG, a plasma glycoprotein is taught. The nucleotide and amino add sequences for human GPAT and rat GLOL are taught. Control sequences for human METP, GLOL, FTF1, SCD, GPAT and A1BG are taught.

Abstract: The present invention relates to polynucleotides that control desaturase genes and to drug screening assays for identifying pharmaceutially active compounds for use in the treatment of diseases involving abnormal lipid metabolism including diabetic neuropathy, by utilizing fatty acid desaturase enzymes and the genes which encode them as targets for intervention. The drug screening method identifies nucleotides, proteins, compounds and/or other pharmacological agents, which effectively modulate the activity of desaturase enzymes or regulate the level of expression of the desaturase genes.
