Patent AU-3271600-A (AU)
Title: Sensor-measuring field for controlling functioning of a micropipette
Inventor: HOWITZ STEFFEN
IPC: B01L3/02
Filed: 2000-02-18
Abstract: A sensor is provided for controlling functioning, e.g. for controlling drop delivery of a micropipette of a nanoplotter or the like and/or for determining the exact local drop deposition and/or its positional deviation from the envisaged deposition site and/or measuring the size of a drop. The invention aims at providing a sensor that makes it possible to detect delivery of a drop. According to the invention, this is done by using a point, line or planar shaped electrode (1) on at least one measuring field (3, 3') that is connected to at least one electronic evaluation device (7) and on which at least one test drop (4) is deposited or dropped with the aid of the micropipette.

Date Mar. 14, 1996A light valve modulator of reflective operation which includes a multi-layer structure which is controlled electrostatically, comprises a transparent substrate supporting a first transparent deformable layer and a second insulating dielectric deformable layer, with a mirror layer sandwiched between, and a third, dielectric insulating layer on the outside of the second layer, at least one of the layers between the second layer and the substrate being electrically conductive, and the third dielectric layer being capable of receiving an electric charge pattern by means of one or more electron beams, whereby the mirror layer is locally deformed by electrostatic forces occurring between the third layer and the conductive layer. The twin deformably layers allow good sensitivity, while the outside dielectric layer which receives charge from an electron beam protects the deformable layers from electron bombardment and the cathode from outgassing. The modulator is for use in display tubes, particularly for projection TV.

Title: Detection of a target in a sample
Inventor: EICHEN YOAV
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 1999-05-04
Abstract: The invention concerns a system, device, kit and method for detecting the presence, or concentration of a target in a sample. An assay set comprising at least two spaced apart electrodes is used, comprising a recognition moiety, capable of specific binding to the target, which is attached to at least one of the electrodes or the substrate therein between. If the recognition moiety binds the target then a conductive bridge can be formed between the electrodes, based on the complex between the recognition moiety and the target. The conductive bridge is formed by using nucleation-center forming entities attached to the complexes or to the targets from which a conductive substance is substantially grown. Alternatively the conducting bridge forms a conductive polymer between the electrodes.

Title: Method and device for transforming a two-dimensional sanitary napkin into a three-dimensional one
Inventor: AOUAD YOUSEF
IPC: A61F13/534
Filed: 1999-06-24
Abstract: This invention discloses a substantially flat sanitary napkin, i.e., one positioned almost exclusively in the x-y plane, having an expandable member therein that once activated by a female wearer either densifies in a prescribed zone and/or expands at least a portion of the sanitary napkin out of the x-y plane and into the z-plane to thereby create hump. Such activation occurs when cinch members are used to contract the expandable member in the x and/or y-directions while simultaneously causing its densification or expansion into the z-plane.

IPC: H04L9/10
Filed: 1999-07-02
Abstract: An electronic system architecture comprises a plurality of client devices connected in a hierarchical structure in which the client devices form nodes in the structure interconnected by communications links. One client device at the top of the hierarchical structure provides a gateway to a server and each other client device is connected to a single client device through a single communications link in an upstream direction and each client device is connected to a number, which may be zero, of client devices through the same number of communications links in a downstream direction. The downstream client devices have lower bandwidth requirements than any client devices upstream of them and the sum of the bandwidths of the communications links from each client device in a downstream direction is less than the bandwidth of the communications links in the upstream direction. Client devices able to make a hardware access request to a client device further in the downstream direction support exception handling of the request.

Title: Automated frequency stepping noise measurement test system
Inventor: RZYSKI EUGENE
IPC: G01R23/20
Filed: 2000-05-17
Abstract: A noise measurement test system is provided for making phase noise measurements of a unit under test (UUT). The noise measurement test system comprises a variable amplifier, a variable low noise source, a variable phase shifter, a mixer, a variable low noise matching amplifier, analog-to-digital converter, a processor and a spectrum analyzer. A first low noise signal, created by the low noise source, is routed through the unit under test and variable amplifier to the mixer. A second low noise signal, also created by the low noise source, is routed through the variable phase shifter to the mixer. The mixer places the received signals in phase quadrature and outputs a measurement test signal which is routed through an analog-to-digital convertor to the processor and spectrum analyzer. The processor includes control links for adjusting the amplifier, low noise source and phase shifter to ensure that the signals received by the mixer are in phase quadrature. The processor also controls the low noise matching amplifier to ensure that there is proper impendence between the mixer and analog-to-digital convertor, and to ensure that the measurement test signal is of sufficient amplification for proper noise testing. In preferred embodiments, the processor provides for automatic control of the test system through an entire test protocol. In additional preferred embodiments, the noise measurement test system provides for calibration signals which vary in amplitude and frequency relative to a carrier signal.

Two sections (54) of the blank have mirror-image shapes along one folding pleat. After folding in superimposed planes, the edges which are to be joined lie over one another, and can therefore be easily sewn up. If the inner folding pleats (52i) and outer folding pleats (52a) alternate in the blank, the blank can be folded into a shape in the manner of a closed umbrella, the inner fold pleats (52i) corresponding to the ribs of the umbrella, and the sections (54) connected by the outer fold pleats (52a) projecting outwards. Two sections (54) adjoining an outer folding pleat (52a) are placed on one another, and their free edges (56) are joined to one another, in particular by sewing. By using a special sewing device, all of the edges to be sewn can be sewn simultaneously.
