Abstract: A method for determining the amount of an antiplatelet compound in a subject being treated with the compound which comprises calculating the ACT number of the subject's blood containing a reagent which immunoreacts with the antiplatelet compound and comparing the figure to a standardized concentration figure. In subjects concurrently being treated with heparin and antiplatelet compounds, the method can be practiced without additional heparin added to the blood sample. The invention also provides reagents which immunoreact with antiplatelet compounds and kits comprising immunoreactive reagents.

Abstract: A system and method for detecting molten slag in a tap stream between a steel making basic oxygen furnace (BOF) and corresponding ladle. BOFs are used in the manufacture of steel. An infrared (IR) imaging or detecting device is used to image/view the BOF-to-ladle tap stream, the stream transmitting energy indicative of whether molten steel and/or slag is in the stream at a given time. The imaging device uses mainly long IR wavelengths (e.g. wavelengths of from about 8 to 14  mu m) when imaging the molten tap stream, because these wavelengths are less susceptible to being blocked or absorbed by airborne gases and particles frequently found in BOF environments. In certain embodiments, all IR wavelengths other than those greater than about 8  mu m are filtered out and are not used to detect slag in the tap stream. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Diagnostic image reconstruction from projection data includes generating projection data followed by a convolution of the same. The convolved projection data is then scaled into unsigned, fixed precision words of a predetermined number of bits. The words are then split into a predetermined number of colour channels corresponding to colour channels of a multi-colour rendering engine (150). Simultaneously and independently, the split words are backprojected along each of the colour channels to obtain backprojected views for each colour channel. The backprojected views for each colour channel are accumulated to produce separate colour images corresponding to each colour channel. Finally, the separate colour images are recombined to produce an output image. In a preferred embodiment, prior to the convolution of the projection data, a rebinning operation is performed to ensure that the projection data is in a parallel format. In addition, after convolving the projection data, a selective pre-interpolating step of linear or higher order is optionally performed on the projection data. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An analog circuit for an autofocus microscope system measures a degree of focus of an object directly from the video signal of a microscope CCD camera. The circuit then returns an index to a host computer for the purpose of adjusting the position of the microscope's objective lens to bring the object in focus. Best focus is found by comparing indices at several different vertical positions. The criterion adopted for determining the degree of focus is derived from the energy distribution of the video signal spectrum. The high frequency energy of the video spectrum is a maximum at best focus and as the optics defocus, the distribution shifts to lower frequencies. Low cost, real time autofocus is achieved with the analog circuitry of this invention, replacing more expensive dedicated, real time image processing hardware.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods and compositions for increasing the production of high titre stocks of recombinant AAV (rAAV) through regulation of expression of the AAV REP and CAP proteins. The methods and compositions of the invention are based on the observation that the low level expression of the AAV REP 78/68 protein increases the production of AAV viral capsid protein and efficiency of packaging resulting in production of higher titre recombinant viral stocks. The invention encompasses recombinant AAV vectors that direct the expression of AAV REP and CAP proteins and the use of such vectors for the production of novel stable cell lines capable of generating high titre rAAV vectors. The invention provides methods for regulating the expression of the AAV REP 78/68, REP 40/52 and CAP gene at the transcriptional and post-translational level. The methods and compositions of the invention can be used to produce high titre stocks of rAAV which can be used in gene therapy for the purpose of transferring genetic information into appropriate host cells for the management and correction of human diseases including inherited and acquired disorders.

Abstract: A vibrating conveyor having a circular or helical conveying conduit driven with a vibrating motion by way of an electromagnet having alternating voltage. The conveying conduit emerges, at its end, into an overflow chute constructed in the form of a channel switching system. An overflow channel oscillates with a reciprocating motion about a pivoting shaft. Mechanical and electrical control devices are provided, so that the overflow channel can be brought into variable oscillating positions. The overflow channel includes a U-shaped section, pressing radially on a sliding surface, forming a circular zone and fixed on a pivoting shaft mounted on the sliding surface. This section is driven by a reciprocating motion in the peripheral direction of the circular zone about the pivoting shaft. Through the pivoting shaft, this section is rigidly connected to a guide rail open downwardly, arranged beneath the sliding surface and extending parallel thereto. In this guide rail is housed a cam, which is set on a control disk, arranged parallel to the sliding surface, such that when the control disk is driven in rotation by an electric motor, the cam causes the guide rail to oscillate with a reciprocating motion and, thus, the overflow channel above the sliding surface.
