Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090211785PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD WITH EDGE MARKINGS - A multilayer printed circuit board may include traces that are printed on selected layers of the board so that the traces extend to the edge of the corresponding layer. When the layers are assembled together, the ends of the traces may be viewable on a side of the printed circuit board. The traces may be arranged to convey information. For example, trace ends may be readable as one or more binary words, as alphanumeric characters or as a bar code.08-27-2009
20090273079SEMICONDUCTOR PACKAGE HAVING PASSIVE COMPONENT BUMPS - A semiconductor package includes contact bumps configured as passive circuit components. One or more contact bumps of the semiconductor package may be formed or configured as pull-up resistors, pull-down resistors, capacitors or inductors.11-05-2009
20110001231SEMICONDUCTOR PACKAGE HAVING NON-UNIFORM CONTACT ARRANGEMENT - A semiconductor package has a non-uniform contact arrangement in which clustered contacts (e.g., a group of ground contacts, a group of power contacts, and/or a group of heatslug contacts) are placed closer together than I/O contacts. In one embodiment, I/O contacts near a cluster have a pitch in at least one direction that is larger than other I/O contacts. A local increase in the pitch of I/O contacts may be used to increase the line width and/or spacing of traces that fan out from corresponding pads on a printed circuit board.01-06-2011

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110302234METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DETECTING SLOW PAGE LOAD - A method and system for detecting slow page load is provided. An example system comprises a page request detector, a session state information detector, a throughput calculator, a response builder, and a communications module. The page request detector may be configured to receive a request for a web page. The session state information detector may be configured to determine that the request does not include session state information. The throughput calculator may be configured to calculate a throughput value associated with the network connection between the client system and the server. The response builder may be configured to build an updated data packet by including, in the data packet, the throughput value and an instruction to store the throughput value on the client as session state information. The communications module may be configured to communicate the updated data packet to the client system.12-08-2011

20090304666CONJUGATE FOR THE SPECIFIC TARGETING OF ANTICANCER AGENTS TO TUMOR CELLS OR TUMOR VASCULATURE AND PRODUCTION THEREOF - A conjugate is disclosed herein, wherein the conjugate includes a ligand having the ability to specifically and stably bind to an external receptor or binding site on a tumor vasculature endothelial cell, wherein the external receptor or binding site is specific for tumor vasculature endothelial cells. The conjugate also includes an anticancer agent that is selectively toxic to cancer cells operatively attached to the ligand. The anticancer agent may be L-methioninase. Pharmaceutical compositions comprising the conjugate are also disclosed, as well as methods of treating a cancer tumor or cancer cells with a therapeutically effective amount of the conjugate.12-10-2009

20110066160SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR INSERTING STEERABLE ARRAYS INTO ANATOMICAL STRUCTURES - Systems and Methods are provided for inserting a steerable array into an anatomical structure of the body. The system includes an insertion module for holding a proximal end of the steerable array and a force sensor configured to detect force on the steerable array and to produce force information. The system includes a position sensor configured to detect a position of the insertion module and to produce position information, the position information including a lateral position along an insertion axis and a first approach angle relative to a first reference axis. The system further includes a processor configured to receive the force information from the force sensor and the position information from the position sensor. The processor outputs performance information to a user. The performance information includes an indication of a first differential approach angle relative to an insertion path plan.03-17-2011

20080278167RF COIL FOR IMAGING SYSTEM - An RF coil suitable for use in imaging systems is provided which coil has a dielectric filled cavity formed by a surrounding conducting enclosure, the conducting enclosure preferably being patterned to form continuous electrical paths around the cavity, each of which paths may be tuned to a selected resonant frequency. The patterning breaks up any currents inducted in the coil and shortens path lengths to permit higher frequency, and thus higher field strength operation. The invention also includes improved mechanisms for tuning the resonant frequency of the paths, for selectively detuning the paths, for applying signal to the coil, for shortening the length of the coil and for controlling the field profile of the coil and the delivery of field to the object to the image.11-13-2008
