Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé permettant d'obtenir au moins un filtre d'étalonnage pour un système d'instrument de spectrométrie de masse (SM). Les données de groupes de crête isotopique mesurées sont obtenues pour une norme d'étalonnage donnée.

Les fonctions en crête cibles spectrales massiques centrées dans les plages spectrales massiques correspondantes sont spécifiées. Des opérations de convolutions sont exécutées entre les teneurs isotopiques relatives calculées et les fonctions en crête cibles spectrales massiques pour former des données de groupes de crête isotopiques mesurées. Une opération de déconvolutions est exécutée entre les données de groupes de crête isotopiques mesurées et les données de groupes de crête isotopiques calculées après les opérations de convolution pour obtenir les filtres d'étalonnage.

Title: Counting biological agents on biological growth plates
Inventor: PLUMB MICHAEL R
IPC: G06M11/02
Filed: 2004-08-30
Abstract: The invention is directed to counting techniques for counting biological agents on a biological growth plate or similar medium. In order to automate the counting of biological agents, a biological growth plate is inserted into a biological scanning unit. Upon insertion of the biological growth plate, the biological scanning unit generates an image of the plate. Then, the amount of biological agents that appear in the image, such as a number of bacteria colonies, can be counted or otherwise determined using image processing and analysis routines performed either by the scanning unit or an external computing device, such as a desktop computer, workstation or the like. A variety of counting rules are described herein that can be used to improve the accuracy of automated counts of biological agents on a biological growth plate.

Title: Integrated wound dressing system
Inventor: JOHNSON ROSS
IPC: A61F15/00
Filed: 2007-05-03
Abstract: An integrated wound dressing system and method including a bandage and a self-contained receptacle that stores treatment material for the care and treatment of wounds. The treatment material is easily accessible and can be removed from the receptacle through an exit. The treatment material can then be used to control bleeding and/or clean the wound before dressing. The bandage may include a layer of plastic that acts as an occlusion barrier to reduce heat loss and maintain moisture levels at the wound site. The occlusion barrier also acts to prevent the passage of air into or out of the wound site. The bandage also includes fasteners that act to prevent unintentional unraveling and to secure the bandage during final packaging. These fasteners help facilitate the wrapping of amputations, stumps, and extremities. The integrated wound dressing system provides an all-in-one system for treating and dressing wounds and reduces the time required to do so.

Title: Emulsifying additive for oil base drilling fluids and method.
Inventor: BARTHEL HORST K F
IPC: C09K23/00
Filed: 1981-03-27
Abstract: Stabilization of oil continuous phase well fluids, particularly to oil base drilling fluids, against contamination with water-soluble alkaline earth salts such as calcium chloride and lignosulfonate contaminants. Stabilization is accomplished by the addition of a sulfonamide additive which is the product of the reaction of a sulfonic acid chloride and a water soluble amine selected from the group consisting of alkylated amines and dialcohol amines. The additive controls the water wettable solids in an oil based well fluid in the presence of alkaline earth salts and lignosulfonate contaminants for extended periods at temperatures over 700<o>F, keeping such solids in the oil-wet state.

Patent EP-0318514-A4 (EP)
Title: Diesel fuel heater.
Inventor: WALTY ROBERT J
IPC: F23K5/20
Filed: 1987-08-21
Abstract: An in-line diesel fuel heater including a hollow elongated housing in heat conduction relationship with an electric resistance heater heats diesel fuel flowing through the housing to a temperature above the cloud point of the fuel. The hollow housing contains fins or fibers to create fluid turbulence to increase heat exchange between the fluid and the housing. An analog control circuit uses a positive temperature coefficient (PTC) thermistor to regulate the temperature of the housing at a constant temperature instead of controlling the power based on a measurement of the diesel fuel's temperature.

IPC: G11B7/09
Filed: 1990-05-31
Abstract: Appareil d'enregistrement et/ou reproduction optique dans lequel un faisceau principal et deux sous-faisceaux sont dirigés sur un disque. On dispose sur le disque deux points de sous-faisceau des deux côtés d'un point de faisceau principal, du côté de la périphérie et du côté du centre, les deux points étant écartés du point de faisceau principal d'un pas correspondant à 1/4 de piste. La lumière réfléchie du faisceau principal (Lm') et des deux sous-faisceaux (Lp', Ln') en provenance du disque est détectée par les premier, deuxième et troisième éléments photodétecteurs fendus (60, 62, 64) pour produire des premier, deuxième et troisième signaux de sortie différentiels (Sm, Sp, Sn) en fonction des signaux détectés par les éléments photodétecteurs. Le rapport d'une première différence entre les premier et deuxième signaux de sortie différentiels à une deuxième différence entre le premier signal de sortie différentiel et la somme des deuxième et troisième signaux de sortie différentiels sont calculés par un circuit diviseur, afin de produire un signal d'erreur de suivi de piste (St). Cet agencement permet d'obtenir un signal d'erreur de suivi de piste présentant une amplitude pratiquement constante qui n'est pas affectée par les profondeurs des trous ou par les hauteurs des bosses formant les pistes d'enregistrement, ni par la profondeur des sillons de guidage, ni par la quantité de faisceaux lumineaux ou par le facteur de réflexion du disque.

Abstract: A self-diagnosing apparatus of a vehicle, which can reliably hold and store diagnostic data relating to major troubles. A control unit (1) includes a CPU (101) and a RAM (102) that keeps the data if the ignition switch is turned off. The self-diagnosing apparatus detects a plurality of troubles, which are classified into major ones and minor ones. The RAM (102) includes a plurality of memory regions comprising a frame (1) and frame (2), and these frames (1) and (2) are corresponding to major and minor troubles, respectively. The CPU (101) processes diagnostic data of each part of the vehicle necessary for analyzing troubles of instruments and updates the memory contents of individual regions of the frames (1) and (2). If a trouble with an instrument is detected, the CPU (101) sets a trouble code to the leading region of the frame corresponding to that trouble, and inhibits subsequent updating of the memory content. Accordingly, the diagnostic data can be stored and held depending on the classification of trouble.

Abstract: There is disclosed herein an invention which relates to the fields of genetic engineering, microbiology, and computer science, that allows a user, whether a molecular biologist or a clinical diagnostician, to calculate and design extremely specific oligonucleotide sequences for DNA and mRNA hybridization procedures. The sequences designed with this invention may be used for medical diagnostic kits, DNA indentification, and potentially continuous monitoring of metabolic processes in human beings. The key features design oligonucleotide sequences based on the GenBank database of DNA and mRNA sequences and examine candidate sequences for specificity or commonality with respect to a user-selected experimental preparation. Two models are available: a Mismatch Model, that employs hashing and continuous seed filtration, and an H-site Model, that analyzes candidate sequences for their binding specificity relative to some known set of mRNA or DNA sequences. The preferred embodiment of this computerized design tool is written in the Borland <R> C++ language and runs under Microsoft <R> Windows <TM> on IBM <R> compatible personal computers.
