Abstract: Manufacturing a power transistor by forming a gate structure on a first layer (3), forming a trench (10) in the first layer, self aligned with the gate structure, and forming part of the transistor in the trench. By forming a spacer next to the gate, the spacer and gate can be used as a mask when forming the trench, to allow space for a source region next to the gate. The self-aligning rather than forming the gate after the trench means the alignment is more accurate, allowing size reduction. Another aspect involves forming a trench in a first layer, filling the trench, forming a second layer on either side of the trench with lateral overgrowth over the trench, and forming a source region in the second layer to overlap the trench. This overlap can enable the chip area to be reduced.

Abstract: A method to increase the efficiency of transduction of hematopoietic and other cells by retroviruses includes infecting the cells in the presence of fibronectin or fibronectin fragments. The fibronectin and fibronectin fragments significantly enhance retroviral-mediated gene transfer into the cells, particularly hematopoietic cells including committed progenitors and primitive hematopoietic stem cells. The invention also provides improved methods for somatic gene therapy capitalizing on enhanced gene transfer, hematopoietic cellular populations, and novel constructs for enhancing retroviral-mediated DNA transfer into cells and their use.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a dual acceleration sensor system usable for detecting impact, when strong impact works on a mobile device, and recording a history of applied impact, and workable with a low power consumption. It contains low range and high range acceleration sensors (1, 2), a signal processing circuit (4), and/or an operation mode controller (5) for switching signal between the two sensors and an operation mode of the signal processing circuit (4). The operation mode controller (5) switches between a low range mode in which a signal from the low range acceleration sensor (1) is processed at a low range operation rate and a high range mode in which a signal from the high range acceleration sensor (2) is processed at a high range operation rate. It is judged whether data processed in the low range mode exceeds a first threshold or not, and if not, the low range mode continues, while the mode switches to the high range mode if it does. In the high range mode, when a state that the data is less than a second threshold continues for a predetermined period of time, the mode returns to the low range mode, and if not, the high range mode remains.
