Abstract: A wireless input device has a housing having a first compartment and a micro switch housed therein, a power supply retained in the first compartment, and a top cover removably coupled to the housing for covering the power supply. The top cover has at least one free extension formed in one piece with the top cover, with the free extension depressed to activate the micro switch. The input device can also include a wireless receiver retained inside a second compartment inside the housing.

Abstract: A submount holder for flip chip packaging of light emitting diode (LED) includes a substrate on which a body is formed. The submount body defines a cavity sized and shaped to snugly receive an LED die therein. The cavity precisely retains the die in position and prevents the die from arbitrary movement during a packaging and wiring process. First and second connection sections are formed on opposite sides of the cavity and respectively connected to the cavity by a channel. A conductively layer is formed on the substrate in the cavity, the first and second connection sections and the channels connecting the connection sections and the cavity. A groove is defined in the body and extends through the cavity with the connection sections located on opposite sides of the groove. The conductive layer is divided by the groove into separated and isolated portions.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a new polypeptide and the gene encoding therefore, said gene being regulated in cardiac tissue by the transcription factor MEF2C. This polypeptide, CHAMP (cardiac helicase activated by MEF2 protein), bears striking resemblance to a number of other helicase proteins and appears to play a role in RNA processing and transcriptional control in heart muscle. For example, CHAMP has been demonstrated to inhibit both hypertrophy of primary cardiomyocytes and proliferation of non-cardiac cells. Also disclosed are methods of using the gene and protein in drug screening and therapy, including, for example, use of the gene in gene therapy to treat cardiovascular disease.
