Publication number: 20170143787Abstract: A method for treating various types of cancer/tumor by administering the combination of SDF-1 antagonist, in particular, that specifically binds to human CXCR4, and another chemotherapeutic agent, or a radiation therapy, during an embolization therapy. Such combination therapies exhibit synergistic effects compared to the treatment with either agent alone. Thus, the method is particularly beneficial for cancer patients who have low tolerance to the side effects caused by high dosages required for the treatment by either agent alone.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 19, 2014Publication date: May 25, 2017Inventors: Beverly James Incledon, Yiu-Chung Lee, Qicheng David Yang

Patent number: 8069429Abstract: A detailed placement process which optimizes cell placement with up to one hundred percent densities in a linear run time. The output from a conjugate-gradient coarse placement process is input to the detailed placement process. A dynamic programming technique is used to optimize cell placement by swapping cells between two or more rows. The search space is pruned beforehand. A greedy cleanup phase using an incremental row placer is used. Thereby, the detailed placement process handles congestion driven placements characterized by non-uniform densities expeditiously and efficiently.Type: GrantFiled: June 16, 2008Date of Patent: November 29, 2011Assignee: Synopsys, Inc.Inventors: Ronald Miller, William C.

Patent number: 8011319Abstract: A holding device is presented in which a layer which is to be oxidized is processed, in a single-substrate process. The process temperature during the processing is recorded directly at the substrate or at a holding device for the substrate. The process includes introducing a substrate, which bears a layer to be oxidized uncovered in an edge region in a layer stack, into a heating device, passing an oxidation gas onto the substrate, heating the substrate to a process temperature, which is recorded during the processing via a temperature of the holding device which holds the substrate, and controlling the substrate temperature to a desired temperature or temperature curve during the processing.Type: GrantFiled: October 5, 2009Date of Patent: September 6, 2011Assignee: Infineon Technologies AGInventors: Hin-Yiu Chung, Thomas Gutt
