Abstract:
A level shifter circuit for shifting from a first voltage level technology (such as 0.9 volt) to a second level voltage technology (such as 3.3 volt) with increased switching speed. The increased speed is achieved by adding a boost circuit to the pull-up transistors to boost the switching speed and shut itself down after the transition. The level shifter circuit does not require intermediate level transistors or intermediate level voltage sources.
Abstract:
Non-steroidal compounds are provided which are useful in treating diseases associated with modulation of the glucocorticoid receptor, AP-1, and/or NF-κB activity including obesity, diabetes, inflammatory and immune diseases, and have the structure of formula (I) or an enantiomer, a diastereomer, a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, or hydrate thereof, where J is selected from NR1 or C(R4)(R4a); K is selected from NR2 or C(R5)(R5a); L is selected from NR3 or C(R6)(R6a); and A, X, Y, R1, R2, R3, R4, R4a, R5, R5a, R6, R6a, R8, R10, R11, and n are defined herein. Also provided are pharmaceutical compositions and methods of treating obesity, diabetes and inflammatory or immune associated diseases comprising said compounds.
Abstract:
An interface driver circuit includes a plurality of delay cells. Each delay cell includes a data input, a delayed data output configured to communicate with the data input of an adjacent one of the plurality of delay cells. A delay time input is configured to set a delay value between receiving data at the data input and generating the delayed data output. A plurality of predrivers is configured to receive an output enable signal. A plurality of predrivers is configured to receive a corresponding one of the plurality of delayed data outputs. A plurality of predrivers is configured to generate a predriver output signal based on the output enable signal and the corresponding one of the plurality of delayed data outputs. The output enable signal enables and disables the plurality of predrivers and is independent of data of each delayed data output.
Abstract:
A simulated eye is capable of being changeable in an opened state and a closed state. The simulated eye includes an eyeball, an upper eyelid covering the eyeball, a pivot rod, and a driving device having a shaft. The pivot rod is pivotally coupled to the eyeball, the eyelid is fixed to the pivot rod, and the pivot rod is engaged with the shaft and is driven to rotate by the driving device. Accordingly, the upper eyelid is driven to rotate relative to the eyeball by the driving device, so as to simulate an opened state and a closed state of human eyes.

Abstract:
A system (200) and method (800) for determining whether a sample object (203) has a color that is within a predetermined range is provided. The system (200) includes a light source (201) capable of projecting lights having different light wavelength spectrum upon the sample object (203). A controller (222) causes the light source (201) to project a first light wavelength spectrum upon the sample object (203), then another, then another, and so forth. While each light is projecting upon the object, a monochromatic image capture device (202) captures an image having luminous intensity information. The luminous intensity information, or a subset thereof selected by an image selection tool (232) is then compared to the statistical range, which is derived from a plurality of images taken of a reference object (403).
Abstract:
A class of novel non-steroidal compounds are provided which are useful in treating diseases associated with modulation of the glucocorticoid receptor, AP-1, and/or NF-κB activity including obesity, diabetes, inflammatory and immune diseases, and have the structure of formula (I) its stereoisomers thereof, or a solvate thereof, or a prodrug thereof, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, where Z is CONR1R2 or CH2NR1R2 and where at least one of X1-X8 is N, and R, Ra, Rb, Rc and Rd are defined herein. Also provided are pharmaceutical compositions and methods of treating obesity, diabetes and inflammatory or immune associated diseases comprising said compounds.
