| 20100222286 | RECEPTOR MODULATORS EXHIBITING NEUROPROTECTIVE AND MEMORY ENHANCING ACTIVITIES - The present invention provides therapeutically active compounds and compositions as NMDA and MC receptor antagonists, which are useful in preventing and treating central nervous system disorders by inhibiting over-activation of NMDA and/or MC receptors. In one aspect, the present invention provides methods of treating and/or preventing neurodegenerative diseases and neuropathological disorders, methods of providing neuroprotection under stress conditions such as a stroke, methods of enhancing the brain's cognitive functions and methods of treating depression, anxiety and cachexia induced by a chronic disease in mammals and humans. | 09-02-2010 |
| 20090032820 | Reliable Normally-Off III-Nitride Active Device Structures, and Related Methods and Systems - A field-effect transistor includes a first gate, a second gate held at a substantially fixed potential in a cascode configuration, and a semiconductor channel. The semiconductor channel has an enhancement mode portion and a depletion mode portion. The enhancement mode portion is gated to be turned on and off by the first gate, and has been modified to operate in enhancement mode. The depletion mode portion is gated by the second gate, and has been modified to operate in depletion mode and that is operative to shield the first gate from voltage stress. | 02-05-2009 |
