  • Patent number: 8839157
    Abstract: A target pattern is provided including a first pattern in a first region. A sensor pattern is inserted in the target pattern in the first region. A flare intensity of the sensor pattern in the first region is determined. A pattern bias is determined based on the flare intensity.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20140013286
    Abstract: A target pattern and a mask pattern are provided. The target pattern is segmented into a plurality of segments. Each segment includes at least one evaluation point. A first contour of a structure based on the mask pattern is simulated. A distortion between the first contour and the target pattern is evaluated at the evaluation point. At least one of the plurality of segments having a distortion exceeding a threshold value is identified. The identified segment is dissected into at least two sub-segments.

  • Publication number: 20080090249
    Abstract: The present invention features isolated nucleic acid molecules, designated G2BD nucleic acid molecules, which encode the binding site from the gp78 ubiquitin ligase that binds to the Ube2G2 ubiquitin conjugating enzyme. The invention further provides isolated G2BD proteins and fusion proteins. Still further provided are diagnostic and therapeutic methods, as well as screening assays utilizing compositions of the invention.

  • Publication number: 20060233836
    Abstract: A system and method for identifying a botulinum neurotoxin inhibitor employing a botulinum neurotoxin substrate complex having a peptide substrate, preferably SNAP-25, a reporter domain on one side of said peptide substrate and an immobilization domain on the opposite side of said peptide substrate. The botulinum neurotoxin inhibitor is identified by its ability to decrease the relative amount of cleaved complex, detected through measuring a decrease in complex bound to a solid support. The method of the present invention also utilizes novel cells that express a botulinum neurotoxin substrate complex. The methods of the present invention are adapted for cell based screening to monitor the catalytic activity of a BoNT in living cells and to identify molecules that inhibit the catalytic activity of a BoNT in living cells.
