Filed:

Jun 1, 2006

Appl. No.:

11/421497

Inventors:

Lam Van Nguyen - Cupertino CA, US
Quan Nguyen - Cupertino CA, US

Assignee:

QUALCOMM Incorporated - San Diego CA

International Classification:

G11C 7/02

US Classification:

365210, 365214, 36518909

Abstract:

A dummy SRAM cell for use in a dummy bit line circuit uses the same transistors as used in a standard SRAM cell, which includes first and second subsets of transistors configured as first and second bit line output circuits. The dummy SRAM cell includes the same first and second subsets of transistors, with the first transistors configured as a dummy bit line output circuit having substantially the same electrical characteristics as the first bit line output circuit of the standard SRAM cell. Further, the second transistors, which are not otherwise needed for the dummy SRAM cell function, are reconfigured as a voltage tie circuit for the dummy bit line output. Using the second transistors for this purpose obviates the need to add additional transistors to form a voltage tie circuit for configuring the dummy bit line output circuit as a load or driver for the dummy bit line.

International Classification:

C12Q 1/68

US Classification:

435 611

Abstract:

Disclosed are methods, compositions and kits for amplifying signals for detecting the presence, quantity and/or sequence of nucleic acids and proteins, as well as methods, compositions and kits for increasing the number of such targets simultaneously detectable in a sample. Detection may be, for instance, in vivo, in cellulo or in situ. Amplification of signal is achieved by way of hybridization of nucleic acid label probe systems and structures. Increase in target multiplex capacity is achieved by way of varying the type of labels utilized in the nucleic acid label probe system.

International Classification:

US Classification:

89 3602, 89903, 89918

Abstract:

A grille having a plurality of s-louvers shaped to increase the efficiency of air flow through the grille without decreasing the effectiveness of the louvers at stopping or deflecting projectiles. Each louver has a hooked portion at the end of the louver to present a ballistic hook for stopping projectiles ricocheting through the circuitous path defined between the louvers. An insert having a closeout for covering the ballistic hook is positioned within each hooked shape portion to eliminate the eddy or stall created at the end of the circuitous path by ballistic hook. The closeout can be penetrated by projectiles ricocheting through the circuitous path such that the ballistic hook can still capture projectiles within the inlet.

International Classification:

G11C 5/14

US Classification:

365226

Abstract:

Embodiments of the invention are directed to systems and methods for adaptively boosting the supply voltage to an SRAM (Static Random Access Memory) in response to process-voltage-temperature variations when needed. Embodiments include a critical path that simulates a typical memory cell and read-out circuit in the SRAM. Applying a trigger signal to a word-line input port of the critical path, and comparing the output of the critical path to a reference-latch signal, provides an indication of when to boost the supply voltage to the read-out circuits of the SRAM.
