  • Publication number: 20200310538
    Abstract: A method for recognizing brainwave signals of a brain-computer interface (BCI), includes determining a steady-state visual evoked potential (SSVEP) corresponding to an Oz electrode channel according to the brainwave signals when in a rest state; determining the SSVEPs respectively corresponding to the Oz electrode channel, an O1 electrode channel and an O2 electrode channel according to the brainwave signals when in a stimulating state; and determining a stimulus source of a glance attention according to the SSVEPs of the O1 electrode channel and the SSVEP of the O2 electrode channel; wherein the glance attention stimulates the brainwave signals when in the stimulating state.

  • Publication number: 20200065452
    Abstract: A method including the operations of receiving a preliminary device layout including a plurality of active areas, analyzing the preliminary device layout to identify empty areas between the plurality of active areas, determining the configurations of the active areas bordering the empty areas, selecting a transition cell from a transition cell library in which the transition cell has a transitional configuration for reducing density gradient effects in the active areas adjacent the transition cell, and inserting the transition cells into the empty areas to define a modified device layout.

  • Publication number: 20160206712
    Abstract: Autophagy is the principal catabolic response to nutrient starvation. However, excessive autophagy can be cytotoxic or cytostatic, and contribute to cell death, but its mechanism of induction remains elusive. Here, it was demonstrated that prolonged arginine starvation by ADI-PEG20 induced an autophagy-dependent death of argininosuccinate synthetase 1 (ASS1)-deficient breast cancer cells. Consequently, arginine depleting agents such as ADI-PEG20 may be used in methods for killing one or more argininosuccinate synthetase 1 (ASS1)-deficient breast cancer cells. Further, abundance of ASS1 was either low or absent in more than 60% of 149 random breast cancer biosamples, which could be exploited as candidates for arginine starvation therapy.
