20090166564METHODS FOR MONITORING IMPLANTER PERFORMANCE - Methods are presented to monitor the performance of an ion implanter such as the E500. Ion implantation typically involves physical processes performed on a wafer such as rotation, tilt, and twist. These methods generate particulate contaminants (PCs) that affect the kill rate of the semiconductor devices on the wafer. Variations in tilt angle also compromise dose accuracy. Presently, methods for testing for PCs and implant dose accuracy do not simulate actual manufacturing conditions. This invention discloses methods to test PC buildup using multiple wafers that are subjected to rotation, twist, tilt, and combinations thereof. Additionally, methods to test dose accuracy are presented, involving implanting a monitor wafer at an angle where the crystalline channel is aligned with the ion beam. Measuring sheet resistance as a function of tilt angle at this point ensures accurate tilt-angle calibration of the ion implanter.07-02-2009

20100040675COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR PROMOTING OR INHIBITING ANGIOGENESIS - Compounds, compositions and methods for promoting or inhibiting angiogenesis, and screening methods for identifying compounds are disclosed. The compounds bind to F1 ATP synthase, particularly to the alpha and/or beta subunits of F1 ATP synthase. When bound to these subunits, they can function as angiostatin agonists, antagonists, partial agonists, inverse agonists, or allosteric modulators. When the compounds mimic or enhance the activity of angiostatin, they inhibit angiogenesis. When the compounds inhibit the ability of angiostatin to bind F1 ATP synthase and are either inactive at inhibiting angiogenesis or directly promote angiogenesis, or if they inhibit the activity of angiostatin, they promote angiogenesis. The compounds can be, for example, antibodies, antibody fragments, enzymes, peptides, nucleic acids such as oligonucleotides, or small molecules. The antibodies can be monoclonal, humanized, or polyclonal antibodies. The compounds can be conjugated to or combined with various cytotoxic agents and/or labeled compounds. Methods for promoting angiogenesis can be used to introduce vasculature to areas in a patient that can benefit from such increased vasculature. Methods for inhibiting angiogenesis can be used to treat disorders mediated by angiogenesis, for example, tumors, autoimmune disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis, and the like.02-18-2010
