Abstract: A switching signal generator for a switching power supply employing a DC-DC
modulator has an adder, an integrator and a quantizer. A gate driver circuit is provided
upstream of a power switch element and receives a quantizer output. By feeding back a
gate driver circuit output to the adder of the Δ Σ-modulator, a large phase margin is
obtained at a high-frequency switching. The switching signal generator for the Δ Σ
-modulation type switching power supply has an improved direct-current transmission
linearity characteristic relative to direct-current input, and that is stably controllable and
of high efficiency. Furthermore, a DC-DC converter has an adder, an integrator and a
quantizer, the integrator having a mechanism for adjusting its gain. The gain-adjusting
mechanism receives a signal from a current flowing internally of the DC-DC converter, a
voltage internally of the converter, or a converter output voltage to control gain of the
integrator so that the amplitude of output voltage of the integrator is not saturated and a
comparator is capable of high-speed operation, a Δ Σ -modulation type DC-DC
converter is provided that is unlikely to undergo oscillation especially at a high sampling
frequency, and that produces a stable output voltage.

Abstract: First and second voltage generators (16, 18) generate a first internal power supply voltage to
be supplied to a first internal power supply line and a second internal power supply voltage to
be supplied to a second internal power supply line, respectively. A short circuit (20) shorts the
first and second internal power supply lines when operations of both the first and second
voltage generators are suspended. The first and second internal power supply lines become
floating, and charges stored in the respective internal power supply lines drain out gradually.
Here, since the charges are redistributed to both of the internal power supply lines, the first
and second internal power supply voltages become equal in value as they drop off.
Consequently, the first and second internal power supply voltages can be prevented from
inversion, and internal circuits connected to both the first and second internal power supply
lines can be precluded from malfunctioning.

Abstract: L'invention concerne des procédés et des compositions pour détecter la présence d'une protéase active dans une cellule. Les procédés selon l'invention sont caractérisés en ce qu'une protéine de fusion assurant la détection de la protéase est utilisée pour détecter l'activité de la protéase utile. Cette protéine de fusion assurant la détection de la protéase comprend des premier et deuxième domaines de localisation sous-cellulaire séparés par un domaine de clivage de la protéase, où le premier domaine de localisation sous-cellulaire est dominant par rapport au deuxième. Les protéines de fusion assurant la détection de la protéase utilisées dans ces procédés se caractérisent en outre en ce qu'elles présentent un domaine d'étiquette placé entre les domaines de clivage de la protéase et le deuxième domaine de localisation sous-cellulaire. Lors de la mise en oeuvre de ces procédés, la protéine de fusion assurant la détection de la protéase est d'abord fournie dans la cellule à tester. Après une période d'incubation appropriée, on détermine l'emplacement sous-cellulaire du domaine d'étiquette, et l'emplacement indique si l'activité de la protéase est présente ou non dans la cellule.
