20090212845High Voltage Control Switch - A high voltage control switch including a voltage controller and a control switch is provided. The high voltage control switch splits the control switching of high voltages into two ranges. The voltage controller determines the on and off voltages appropriate for the application based on the range the input signal is in. The control switch then outputs the appropriate voltages determined by the voltage controller based on a logic input. As such, the high voltage control switch provides fast and reliable operation for high voltage switching applications.08-27-2009
20110148524RADIO FREQUENCY BUFFER - Systems, methods, and devices for receiving a differential input signal and generating a non-differential output signal are described herein. For example, an RF buffer is described that includes first and second transistor elements. The first transistor element receives a first polarity signal of a differential signal and drives a non-differential output of the RF buffer. A second transistor element receives a second polarity signal of the differential signal and drives the non-differential output of the RF buffer. The first and second transistor elements substantially simultaneously drive the non-differential output of the RF buffer.06-23-2011

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090050814Passive Solid State Ionizing Radiation Sensor - A radiation sensor and a method for making the radiation sensor are described. An ionizing radiation sensitive area is formed in a radiation insensitive or hardened die. When the sensitive area is impacted by ionizing radiation, properties of the sensitive area change. For example, the changed property may be charge density, threshold voltage, leakage current, and/or resistance. Circuitry for measuring these property changes is located in a radiation hardened area of the die. As a result, a radiation sensor may be fabricated on a single die.02-26-2009
20090058538Radiation Hard Oscillator and Differential Circuit Design - A radiation hard design for oscillator circuits and circuits having differential outputs is described. The design includes connecting or otherwise coupling outputs of these circuits to a passive polyphase filter. The passive polyphase filter provides four quadrature outputs that are free of glitches that may have occurred at the filter input.03-05-2009

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100033708Optical Inspection System Using UV Light for Automated Inspection of Holograms - Disclosed is an apparatus and methodology for inspecting holograms for structural integrity. Holograms configured for image formation under ambient, humanly perceivable light are illuminated with ultra-violet (UV) light to obtain an image of the actual structure of the hologram. The UV image is compared to a master hologram or image data file to determine the structural integrity.02-11-2010

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090221035SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PROTEIN PRODUCTION - The invention relates to systems and methods for producing proteins of interest. The invention employs genetically-engineered animal or plant cells that have modified protein folding or processing capacities. In one aspect, the invention features genetically-engineered cells comprising one or more recombinant expression cassettes which encode (1) a protein of interest and (2) a polypeptide that is functional in the unfolded protein response (UPR) pathway of the cells. Co-expression of the polypeptide significantly increases the yield of the protein of interest in the genetically-engineered cells. In one example, the genetically-engineered cells are animal cells, and the co-expressed polypeptide is a component or modulator of an XB1- or ATF6-mediated UPR pathway.09-03-2009

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090214513MAMMALIAN EXPRESSION SYSTEMS - The present invention features mammalian expression systems with improved production yields, and method of using these systems to produce desired proteins. In one embodiment, the expression systems of the present invention comprise genetically-engineered mammalian host cells cultured in a medium that contains an effective amount of heparin or heparin-like molecules. The presence of heparin or heparin-like molecules significantly increases protein production by the cultured cells. The present invention also features the use of constitutively-active components of FGFR-I-mediated signal transduction pathways to improve protein production by cultured mammalian cells. Co-expression of such a component with a protein of interest markedly increases the production yield of the protein of interest.08-27-2009
