Abstract:
A crystalline silicon ingot and a method of manufacturing the same are provided. Using a crystalline silicon seed layer, the crystalline silicon ingot is formed by a directional solidification process. The crystalline silicon seed layer is formed of multiple primary monocrystalline silicon seeds and multiple secondary monocrystalline silicon seeds. Each of the primary monocrystalline silicon seeds has a first crystal orientation different from (100). Each of the secondary monocrystalline silicon seeds has a second crystal orientation different from the first crystal orientation. Each of the primary monocrystalline silicon seeds is adjacent to at least one of the secondary monocrystalline silicon seeds, and separate from the others of the primary monocrystalline silicon seeds.
Abstract:
The present disclosure describes an OPC method of preparing data for forming a mask. The method includes setting a plurality of dissection points at the main feature and further includes setting a target point at the main feature. The method includes arranging the two dissection points crossing the main feature symmetrically each other. The method includes separating two adjacent dissection points at one side of the main feature by a maximum resolution of the mask writer. The method includes dividing the main feature into a plurality of segments using the dissection points. The method includes performing an OPC convergence simulation to a target point. The method includes correcting the segments belonging to an ambit of the target point and further includes correcting the segment shared by two ambits.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition for the treatment of cancer as well as methods of treatment of cancer that are based on the finding that certain benzimidazole based anti-cancer agents can be used in combination with a second anti-cancer agent to achieve desirable therapeutic outcomes. More specifically the present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition including a benzimidazole based anti-cancer agent and a second anti-cancer agent. The invention also relates to methods of treatment of cancer including administration of a benzimidazole based anti-cancer agent and a second anti-cancer agent to a patient in need thereof.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a rice flour composition with enhanced process tolerance and solution stability, the method of making such flour, and uses thereof. The flour is prepared by heat-moisture treatment of a low amylose rice flour. The resultant flour is useful in a variety of industrial applications, particularly in foods.
Abstract:
This patent pertains to a slowly digestible starch prepared by debranching low amylose starches, particularly by isoamylase. Such slowly digestible starches are useful in edible products, including nutritional supplements.
Abstract:
This patent pertains to starch coatings containing starch succinates for reduced fat fried foods with acceptable taste, texture and appearance. The starches of this invention are applied to the food substrate before frying and act as a barrier to the absorption of the frying media (oil).
Abstract:
Highly resistant granular starches may be produced which have unique and useful properties, including high enzyme resistance, dietary fiber, a unique molecular weight distribution, a high melting temperature and a high heat of gelatinization (Delta H) indicative of excellent processing tolerance. These starches may be prepared for example by heating a high amylose starch having at least 40% by weight amylose content and at a percent moisture and temperature insufficient to destroy the granular nature of the starch, and digesting the amorphous regions using alpha-amylase or a chemical reagent.
Abstract:
An optical receiver communication system converts optical signals modulated by analog or digital waveforms to RF signals. The optical receiver contains an automatic level control circuit to adjust the electronic gain of the system across a broad bandwidth spectrum. Two impedance matching circuits are designed using broad band matching technique to expand the bandwidth for increasing the maximum receivable frequencies to 1 GHz. A RLC impedance matching circuit forms a resonant combination to maintain .+-.1 dB fluctuation between the low-and-high-frequency limits of the bandwidth, and a 75.OMEGA. impedance matching circuit creates a 180.degree. phase shift between outgoing and incoming signals to ensure low return loss.
