Inventor: BAMDAD CYNTHIA C
IPC: G01N33/58
Filed: 2001-11-01
Abstract: The invention provides novel techniques for determining the interaction between binding partners. The first binding partner is immobilized to a surface or a colloid and a second binding partner immobilized to a surface or a colloid. Non-specific binding techniques, including a SAM, provide for the immobilization of a wide variety of species. A mixture may be separated into various componens and these components may then be fastened to either the colloids or the surfaces. Binding interaction between the binding partners may be determined through a variety of assays.

Abstract: L'objectif de cette invention est de réaliser à la fois une régénération 3R et une conversion de longueur d'onde ajustable avec un seul composant. Le régénérateur 3R doit être conçu à l'aide de composants techniquement moins complexes que ceux de la technique actuelle. Selon cette invention, dans un régénérateur 3R à conversion de longueur d'onde comprenant un moyen pour la régénération d'horloge, un discriminateur non linéaire et un moyen conçu pour produire et/ou ajuster la longueur d'onde de sortie, ce moyen de production et/ou réglage de la longueur d'onde de sortie est un laser fonctionnant de façon constante en plus du moyen de régénération d'horloge et du discriminateur, lequel laser est relié au discriminateur qui est pénétré par la lumière du laser selon la longueur d'onde désirée. Un circuit de retard est placé entre le moyen de régénération d'horloge et le discriminateur. Une impulsion du signal de données, retardée par le circuit de retard optique d'environ un demi bit, est appliquée dans l'intervalle temporel entre deux impulsions du signal d'horloge. Afin d'éviter des interférences, les impulsions du signal de données et du signal d'horloge ainsi que le rayonnement laser émis présentent une longueur d'onde ou une polarisation ou une direction de faisceau différentes. En outre, un moyen servant à régler la puissance des impulsions de données et d'horloge est agencé en amont du discriminateur et utilisé pour régler ces puissances, de façon à obtenir un effet presque identique sur le discriminateur non linéaire et à permettre une commutation en toute sécurité de ce discriminateur.

IPC: H03M1/50

Abstract: The integrating A/D converter comprises an operation amplifier (OA), whose output and whose inverted input are interconnected by a capacitor (C). Charges can be supplied to and drawn from said capacitor via a signal input (INP) and a reference resistance (R0) that is connected to a reference voltage (Uref) during periodic segments (T1, T2) of a working period (T0). Said charges can be balanced by the modification of the periodic segments (T1, T2) in such a way that the number of clock pulses of a clock pulse signal (TCK), which elapse during one of the periodic segments, constitutes a digitally representable measurement for the magnitude of the input signal (usig) that is applied to the signal input (INP). The non-inverting input of the operation amplifier (OA) is connected to the reference voltage (Uref) via a first resistance (R1) and to the ground potential (GND) via a second resistance (R2). The reference resistance (R0) can be connected to the reference voltage (Uref) by means of a switch (SL1) during the first periodic segment (T1) and to the ground potential (GND) during the second periodic segment (T2). Provided that the two resistances (R1, R2) have the same resistance value, the power loss in the reference resistance (R0) remains constant and is independent of the magnitude and the polarity of the applied input signal (usig), thus preventing errors during signal processing.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un processus de synthèse  de Fischer-Tropsh d'hydrocarbure en suspension épaisse, destiné à synthétiser des hydrocarbures liquides à partir de gaz de synthèse dans un réacteur de synthèse. Ce processus hydro-isomérise aussi le liquide d'hydrocarbure synthétisé, qui comprend le liquide en suspension épaisse, immergé dans un ou plusieurs réacteurs élévateurs dans le corps de la suspension épaisse dans ce réacteur de synthèse. Un catalyseur monolithique est de préférence utilisé pour l'hydro-isomérisation, et la circulation vers le haut de la suspension épaisse à travers les réacteurs élévateurs à partir du corps de suspension épaisse environnant est réalisée au moins en partie par l'action élévatrice du gaz de traitement d'hydro-isomérisation. On retire aussi, de préférence, des particules de catalyseur avant que la suspension épaisse soit mise en contact avec ce catalyseur. L'hydro-isomérisation survient alors que le réacteur de synthèse produits des hydrocarbures, sans interférer avec la réaction de synthèse. On peut utiliser un tube de trop-plein réducteur de bulles de gaz pour produire la suspension épaisse dont les bulles de gaz ont été réduites et pour alimenter celle-ci dans le réacteur élévateur, offrant ainsi une aide de charge hydraulique dans la circulation de la suspension épaisse vers le haut à travers le réacteur élévateur et hors de celui-ci.
