Abstract:
Morpholino antisense oligos (Morpholinos) are a class of synthetic non-ionic molecules, each designed to very specifically bind to a selected complementary RNA sequence (targeted RNA transcript). Custom-sequence Morpholinos are used in a broad range of biological research areas, as well as for therapeutic applications in vivo (in living animals such as humans). For most in vivo applications the “bare” Morpholino (FIG. 1a) is linked to a cationic delivery component to give a “delivery-enabled” Morpholino (FIG. 1b) with significantly improved delivery efficiency. However, cytosolic delivery was still markedly less than expected. Then recently we discovered that by adding a special disconnect component between the Morpholino component and the cationic delivery component (FIG. 1c), the cytosolic delivery efficiency for the Morpholino was dramatically increased (about a 1,000% increase in delivery efficiency). This patent application describes designing, making, and using such delivery-enabled Morpholinos containing a key disconnect component.

The present invention provides deuterium-enriched heteroaryl-containing urea compounds (I) and use of the same for treating conditions mediated by protein kinase such as
Abstract:
The invention is a method of forming Janus particles, that includes forming an emulsion that contains initial particles, a first liquid, and a second liquid; solidifying the first liquid to form a solid that contains at least a portion of the initial particles on a surface of the solid; and treating the exposed particle sides with a first surface modifying agent, to form the Janus particles. Each of the initial particles on the surface has an exposed particle side and a blocked particle side.
Abstract:
A solid state disk and a method for managing power supply of the solid state disk and a terminal including the solid state disk. The solid state disk includes at least one data storage module for storing data, a management module for controlling data operation for said data storage module, controlling said data storage module as an operating power supply state when said data storage module is performing the data operation, and controlling said data storage module as a non-operating power supply state at other times. The data storage module may be enabled as the operating power supply state only when the data operation is performed for a certain data storage module, and the data storage module may be set as the non-operating power supply state when it is in the idle state or after the data operation is completed. Thus, the power consumption of the solid state disk is effectively saved, and the duration of the notebook computer which applies the solid state disk is prolonged.

Abstract:
An RSSI circuit provides a relatively inexpensive technique for accurately measuring received signal strength over a wide dynamic range. A received signal is processed by a rectifier circuit that generates a series of DC offsets of increasing magnitude. The DC offsets are imposed on a first polarity of the received signal to create a series of outputs that are the first polarity of the received signal with increasing DC offsets. Each of the outputs is coupled to one input of a weighted comparator with the other input of the comparator coupled to a second and opposite polarity of the received signal with no offset. The comparators determine when overlap occurs to indicate particular signal levels.

Compositions comprising thrombin and methods of preparing them are disclosed. The composition may be in the form of an aqueous solution at pH 5.7-7.4 consisiting essentially of 0.1 mg/mL to 5.0 mg/mL thrombin, 2% to 4% (w/v) sucrose, 3.5% to 5% (w/v) mannitol, 50 mM to 300 mM NaCl, 0-5 mM CaCl2, 0.03% to 1% (w/v) of a surfactant or high-molecular-weight polyethylene glycol, and a physiologically acceptable buffer, or may be in lyophilized form.
Abstract:
The invention discloses a method of searching for devices automatically in a network. The method including the steps of: when two devices are interconnected, firstly searching, by a device initiating party, whether a resource management device exists in the network, if so, then sending a device searching request from the device initiating party to the resource management device, upon receiving the request, making a search, by the resource management device, among device registration information stored therein, after a device satisfying conditions is found out, information related to that device being immediately sent to the device initiating party, otherwise, informing the device initiating party that the information is not found; if not, announcing its own device information, by the device initiating party, to all other devices in the network, at the same time, monitoring announcement information of all the other devices, when receiving information of other devices, sending a connection request from the device initiating party to a device requiring connection, and completing corresponding operations after receiving a response. The method makes automatic searching and connecting with respect to each other among devices possible so as to facilitate the user's operation and improve automatic and intelligent performance of the network.
Abstract:
Techniques for singulating a substrate into a plurality of component parts is disclosed. The singulation techniques include generating a jet stream in order to cut through large components so as to produce smaller components. The techniques are particularly suitable for singulating surface mount devices such as chip scale packages, ball grid arrays (BGA), flip chips, lead less packages (QFN) and the like. The techniques are also suitable for singulating photonic devices.
