Abstract: In the procedure the regulator is controlled according to parametric values of proportionality (po) and the integration parameter (io). For a given series of possible control values (p,i) for the regulator one simulates by computer the operation of the control loop in the vicinity of a given reference position. This allows determination of the response time (X1) and the amplitude of response (X2), as well as the efficiency of the control (X3) and the effect of random perturbations (X4). An optimisation function is calculated based on these measurements (X1-X4) with weighting coefficients, in order to minimise the value of the function and thus determine the pair of values (pi,io) corresponding to this minimised function.

Abstract: A method and reagent for the simultaneous or independent enumeration of reticulocytes in a whole blood sample, without the need to separately incubate the sample and reagent. The reagent contains a reticulocyte staining amount of an unsymmetrical cyanine dye, from about 40 mM to about 60 mM of a buffer selected from the group consisting of imidazole, Tris and Bis-Tris and a dye stabilizing amount of a non-ionic surfactant selected from the group consisting of N, N-bis[3-D-Glucon-amidopropyl] cholamide and a polyoxypropylene-polyoxyethylene block copolymer. The reagent has a pH from about 6.8 to about 7.2 and an osmolarity adjusted to about 280 to about 310 mOsm/l with a mono-, or di-, valent alkali salt selected from the group consisting of NaCl, KCl, LiCl, CaCl2, MgCl2 and ZnCl2. The method utilizes the reagent in a no incubation process that also allows for the simultaneous determination of CBC as well as reticulocyte counts and maturity indices.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for determining thrombotic risk in an individual. The method involves determining the activity of Protein C and Protein S in the plasma of the individual thought to be at thrombotic risk by adding to a plasma sample obtained from the individual (i) a first reagent in an amount sufficient to induce or activate coagulation in the plasma, (ii) a second reagent which activates endogenous protein C in the plasma, and (iii) a third reagent comprising calcium salts, phospholipids or tissue thromboplastin, or a combination thereof. To a second plasma sample from the same subject is added a reagent which induces or activates coagulation, and a buffer or other material which does not activate protein C, and a third reagent as described above. The time, rate or both, necessary for the conversion of endogenous fibrinogen to fibrin in both the first and second samples is measured. The same steps are performed on normal control plasma, and the difference or ratio in the times, rates, or both, obtained above are determined. The difference or ratio is indicative of the thrombotic risk in the subject. A kit adapted to carry out the method also is the subject of the present invention. The methods and kits of the invention in other embodiments may comprise a first reagent comprising a synthetic substrate, a second reagent which in the first sample from the subject activates protein C, and in the second sample, a second reagent which does not activate protein C. In these embodiments, the rates of hydrolysis of the synthetic substrates are measured and compared.

Abstract: An aspherical spectacle lens that has a pair of first and second refractive surfaces, one or both of which have an aspherical shape. In this lens, the first refractive surface and/or the second refractive surface is defined by the following equation:ch is not less than 2; n an integer which is not less than 1; X a length of a perpendicular drawn from a point, which is positioned on the aspherical surface and is located at a distance  rho  from an optical axis, to a meridional plane, which contacts the aspherical surface at a vertex thereof; C curvature at the vertex of the aspherical surface;  rho  a distance from the optical axis; k what is called a cone constant; and Ami what is called an aspherical-surface coefficient of  rho mi. Thus, there is provided an aspherical spectacle lens in which decentration aberration is small. Moreover, the design of the lens is performed by taking oblique astigmatic error and mean oblique error due to decentration into consideration. Thus, the performance degradation due to the decentration occurring in the aspherical lens can be reduced.

Abstract: This invention relates to a process for preparing biological glue components from a plasma pool which combines high recovery, quality product and viral safety. In first instance, a triple viral inactivated product comprising fibrogen, fibronectin and FXIII is obtained by treating a concentrate thereof first with a viricide solvent/detergent solution, second with viral nanofiltration, and third with heat. The recovery of a good quality product is not compromised by the process of the invention. In second instance, the same steps are reproduced for obtaining a triple viral safe thrombin product. In that case, a known proprietary process has been improved to increase the recovery of active thrombin by about two fold. One of the steps which increase the yield of thrombin is the dilution of the prothrombin solution with water 4 volumes to 1 volume prothrombin prior to acid precipitation.
