Title: Modular element and production process
Inventor: ALTENBURG KLAUS
IPC: B61D17/04
Filed: 1996-10-02
Abstract: The invention relates to modular elements (1) of differential construction which are particularly suitable for constructing cold-joined large bodywork or containers. All the components of the modular elements, substantially shell (2), shaping frames (3), edge profile (5) and optionally stringers (4) extending transversely to the frames and acting as buckling resistors, are cold-joined to each other, e.g. by pressure joining, punch riveting and the like. As a result, firstly rapid production with good surface quality is achieved, and secondly different materials such as iron and non-ferrous metals, fibre reinforced plastics etc. can be freely combined in hybrid structures to construct the modular elements, the local arrangement of materials in the modular element having to be adapted to the desired mechanical properties. The structure described herein contributes substantially to mechanised, highgrade software-supported manufacture in which the geometrical data for the half-finished products of the modular elements can flow directly (on-line) from a CAD construction, thus achieving at the same time currently unobtainable flexibility when producing different external shape variants even for a low level of mass production.

Title: Double-stranded conformational polymorphism analysis
Inventor: ALBAGLI DAVID
IPC: C12Q1/6827
Filed: 1996-11-01
Abstract: Double-stranded conformational polymorphism analysis is performed by combining a probe comprising a cross-linking agent and optionally a label with a sample having a target sequence, which may be complementary or have one or a few mismatches with respect to the probe sequence. After sufficient time for hybridization under mild or lesser stringency conditions, hybridized pairs are irradiated to induce cross-link formation by the cross-linking agent. The sample is then analyzed by denaturing gel electrophoresis where the rate of migration depends upon the degree of complementarity between the probe and the target. For corroboration, in a second experiment, the probe may be combined with the sample under high stringency conditions, where it is found that the formation of cross-linked probe/target is substantially lower for pairs having mismatches than for fully matched pairs. After cross-linking, the sample may be separated by gel electrophoresis, and the amount of cross-linked nucleic acid determined.

Patent CA-2254478-A1 (CA)
Inventor: JOY MICHAEL L G
IPC: A61B6/00
Filed: 1998-11-24
Abstract: A method and device to calibrate an automatic exposure control (AEC) device in an x-ray imaging system is disclosed.      An x-ray imaging system has an x-ray generator and tube to generate x-rays, an AEC device to control exposure of the x-rays, and an image sensing system, such as a film/screen combination or a digital recording system, which convert the x-rays into a converted medium, such as light, which can be easily sensed by a sensing medium. To calibrate the AEC device, a detector is placed in the position of the sensing medium to detect the converted medium. The detector detects signals indicative of the x-rays on a sensing medium.      Simultaneously, a signal is obtained from the AEC. When the signal from the detector corresponds to a predetermined desired detector output, the output signal from the AEC is stored. The stored AEC output value corresponds to the target AEC output which will produce a proper exposure in the future for the same set of predetermined conditions of the imaging system. The process is repeated for different sets of predetermined conditions until all of the desired sets of predetermined conditions have been calibrated. There is a preliminary step to determine the desired detector output. This preliminary step comprises fixing an attenuation filter about the sensing means, which has graded attenuations, and placing these in the imaging system along with a detector. The x-ray generator then generates x-rays and the desired detector output is determined by comparing the attenuation caused by the attenuation filter with detected signal.
