Title: Photoconductive impedance-matched infrared detector with heterojunction blocking contacts
Inventor: SCHIMERT THOMAS R
IPC: H01L31/0216
Filed: 1994-07-29
Granted: 2003-10-07
Abstract: A photoconductive isotype heterojunction impedance-matched infrared detector has blocking contacts (66 and 68) which are positioned on the bottom side of the detector. Blocking contacts (66 and 68) prevent transfer of minority carriers from active region (42a) of the detector, thereby extending the lifetime of these carriers. The detector is formed by first fabricating active layer (42) followed by isotype blocking layer (44) on growth substrate (40). These layers are etched and appropriate passivation layers (93) and contacts (98 and 100) are applied. Mechanical supporting substrate (90) is applied to the detector and growth substrate (40) is removed. Etch stop holes (48 and 50) are formed which extend into active layer (42) of the detector. A precision thickness of active layer (42), required in an impedance-matched detector design, is produced by thinning active layer (42) in an etching process until the surface of active layer (42) reaches etch stop hole (48 and 50).

Granted: 2008-07-29
Abstract: This invention relates to a bifidobacterium growth promotant comprising gluconic acid, a nontoxic salt thereof and/or glucono-.delta.-lactone as an active ingredient.     The bifidobacterium growth promotant of this invention has selective bifidobacterial growth promoting-activity and, at the same time, inhibits growth of deleterious bacteria. Moreover, its rate of digestion and absorption in the upper alimentary tract is so low that the promotant has very satisfactory characteristics as a bifidus factor. Therefore, the bifidobacterium growth promotant of this invention can be used per se or as an additive for various foods and drink to provide functional foods and drinks, thus being of great value from the standpoint of health improvement.

Granted: 2012-03-13
Abstract: The present invention relates generally to the control of body weight of animals including mammals and humans, and more particularly to materials identified herein as modulators of weight, and to the diagnostic and therapeutic uses to which such modulators may be put. In its broadest aspect, the present invention relates to the elucidation and discovery of nucleotide sequences, and proteins putatively expressed by such nucleotides or degenerate variations thereof, that demonstrate the ability to participate in the control of mammalian body weight. The nucleotide sequences in object represent the genes corresponding to the murine and human OB gene, that have been postulated to play a critical role in the regulation of body weight and adiposity.  Preliminary data, presented herein, suggests that the polypeptide product of the gene in question functions as a hormone. The present invention further provides nucleic acid molecules for use as molecular probes, or as primers for polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification, i.e., synthetic or natural oligonucleotides. In further aspects, the present invention provides a cloning vector, which comprises the nucleic acids of the invention; and a bacterial, insect, or a mammalian expression vector, which comprises the nucleic acid molecules of the invention, operatively associated with an expression control sequence. Accordingly, the invention further relates to a bacterial or a mammalian cell transfected or transformed with an appropriate expression vector, and correspondingly, to the use of the above-mentioned constructs in the preparation of the modulators of the invention. Also provided are antibodies to the OB polypeptide. Moreover, a method for modulating body weight of a mammal is provided. In specific examples, genes encoding two isoforms of both the murine and human OB polypeptides are provided.
