| 20080270962 | STATIC TIMING SLACKS ANALYSIS AND MODIFICATION - A method, system and computer program product for analyzing and modifying a static timing slack of a timing path in a static timing analysis of a design of an integrated circuit (IC) with a transient power supply are disclosed. A static timing slack analysis is performed at a selected endpoint in an IC to obtain a candidate timing path leading to the endpoint with a worst static timing slack. A transient static timing slack is determined for the candidate timing path for each clock cycle of a clock signal under the transient power supply. The determined transient static timing slack is used to adjust the timing of the IC and to modify the static timing slack of the candidate timing path. | 10-30-2008 |

| 20080307383 | ITERATIVE SYNTHESIS OF AN INTEGRATED CIRCUIT DESIGN FOR ATTAINING POWER CLOSURE WHILE MAINTAINING EXISTING DESIGN CONSTRAINTS - An approach that iteratively synthesizes an integrated circuit design to attain power closure is described. In one embodiment, the integrated circuit design is initially synthesized to satisfy timing and power constraints. Results from the initial synthesis are fed back into the synthesis process where specific nodes in the circuit design are targeted to satisfy the timing and power constraints. Selected nodes in the circuit design are worked on in an iterative manner until it has been determined that all of selected nodes have undergone evaluation for satisfying timing and power constraints. Once all of the selected nodes have undergone evaluation for satisfying timing and power constraints, then a final netlist representing the circuit design is generated. | 12-11-2008 |

| 20100029500 | OLIGONUCLEOTIDE ARRAYS TO MONITOR GENE EXPRESSION AND METHODS FOR MAKING AND USING SAME - The present invention provides an oligonucleotide array capable of identifying genes and related pathways involved with the induction of a particular phenotype by a cell line, e.g., the genes and related pathways involved with the induction of transgene expression by the cell line. The invention is particularly useful when there is little or no information about the genome of the cell line being studied, because it provides methods for identifying consensus sequences for known and previously undiscovered genes, and for designing oligonucleotide probes to the identified consensus sequences. Additionally, when the array is to be used to determine optimal conditions for expression of a transgene by the cell line, the invention teaches methods of including oligonucleotide probes to transgene sequences in the array. The invention also provides methods of using the array to identify genes and related pathways involved with the induction of a particular cell line phenotype. The invention also provides novel polynucleotides of undiscovered genes (i.e., a gene that had not been sequenced and/or shown to be expressed by CHO cells) and novel polynucleotides involved with the induction of a particular cell phenotype, e.g., increased survival when grown under stressful culture conditions, increased transgene expression, decreased production of an antigen, etc. These novel polynucleotides are termed novel CHO sequences and differential CHO sequences, respectively. The invention also provides genetically engineered expression vectors, host cells, and transgenic animals comprising the novel nucleic acid molecules of the invention. The invention additionally provides antisense and RNAi molecules to the nucleic acid molecules of the invention.
