Filed: 1990-08-17
Abstract: A magnetic head position control apparatus for driving the magnetic head (2) of a disc recording apparatus toward or away from the recording surface of a magneto-optical disc (5) to effect position control of the magnetic head. Changes in the distance between the magnetic head and the magneto-optical disc are detected from changes in capacitance between a capacitance detection electrode (6) mounted on the magnetic head and a surface of the magneto-optical disc. An oscillator circuit (7) connected to the capacitance detection electrode varies its oscillation frequency in response to changes in capacitance and detects such frequency variations and controls the position of the magnetic head for maintaining it at a constant predetermined distance from the magneto-optical disc.

Abstract: An image pick-up apparatus comprising an image sensor with a matrix of radiation-sensitive elements, notably a CCD image sensor, is provided with a control circuit for selecting gate electrodes as collecting gate electrodes or as isolating gate electrodes by application of an electric potential of suitable polarity. Groups of collecting gate electrodes are separated from one another by isolating gate electrodes. The surface area of such a group of collecting gate electrodes co-determines the modulation transfer function and hence the spatial resolution of the image sensor; this surface area, and hence the spatial resolution, can be adjusted by adjustment of the electric potentials. Notably the spatial resolution can be rendered dependent on the different modes of operation of the image pick-up apparatus, for example when the image pick-up apparatus forms part of an X-ray examination apparatus which is suitable for fluoroscopy as well as for making X-ray images. Furthermore, the spatial resolution can be adjusted so that it differs in different directions. In the case of an image pick-up apparatus comprising a plurality of image sensors, each of which picks up the same image, be it with a shift relative to one another, an image is composed from the images supplied by the various image sensors. Differentiation of the spatial resolutions of the images constituting the composite image enables a spatial resolution in the composite image to be achieved which is the same and higher in all directions.

Abstract: A vaccinal efficacy augmentor comprises an IgA production promoter having an IgA production promoting effect as its effective component. The promoter is able to augment the efficacy of pathogenic virus vaccines. When administered with vaccines which contain bacteria or bacilli or virus antigens and which have the purpose of inducing immunity against infectious diseases, the IgA production promoter stimulates IgA producing cells such as Peyer's patch cells to promote secretory IgA production. Eventually, the production of an antibody against the antigen in the vaccine is augmented to well induce protective immunity and augment the efficacy of the vaccine. In addition, the augmentor can suppress side effects of the vaccine. The efficacy augmenting foods comprising the promoter are also described.

Abstract: On effectue la synthèse extensive ('amplification') d'une séquence d'acide nucléique à étudier au moyen d'une série enchaînée de réactions d'extension d'amorces à plusieurs cycles. Les amorces utilisées dans chacune des réactions d'extension d'amorce du procédé contiennent des éléments non réplicables qui stoppent la synthèse d'acide nucléique et empêchent par conséquent les molécules synthétisées de servir de matrice dans les cycles subséquents. Les molécules synthétisées s'accumulent de manière mathématiquement linéaire pendant l'extension de l'amorce et confèrent au procédé une relative insensibilité par rapport aux acides nucléiques contaminants. Plusieurs ensembles d'amorces sont utilisés afin d'assurer l'accumulation d'un grand nombre de copies de la séquence d'acide nucléique à étudier. L'invention concerne également la détection d'une séquence d'acide nucléique à étudier ainsi que des trousses de réactifs permettant d'effectuer une telle réaction.
