Abstract: A position sensor system (10) capable of self compensation over wide
temperature ranges, air gaps and tilts. Three matched MRs (MR1, MR2, MR3) are
aligned in the direction of movement (X) of a magnetic target (30). The middle
MR (MR2) is the position sensor, and the two outer MRs serve as reference sensors
which sense the magnetic field at the limits of the position sensing range. The
cooperating magnetic target assures that one of the two outer MR elements is
always exposed to some maximum magnetic field, B MAX , corresponding to a
position X MAX , and the other MR element is always exposed to some minimum
magnetic field, B MIN , corresponding to a position X MIN , such that B MIN  ≤ B X  ≤
B MAX , corresponding to X MIN  ≤ X ≤ X MAX , where B X  is the magnetic field measured
by the middle MR and varies with the position, X, of the target. The actual
position, X, is computed assuming a linear relation between MR resistance in the
magnetic field range from B MIN  to B MAX  and the position, X, of the target. This is
accomplished by making the magnetic field a linear function of position in the
range X MIN  to X MAX  and using MRs whose resistance is a linear function of
magnetic field in the range B MIN  to B MAX .

CDK-phosphorylated Rb protein. The method for measuring cyclin-dependent
kinase (CDK) activity includes the following: i) contacting the sample with an anti-retinoblastoma
protein (Rb) capture antibody that specifically recognizes a CDK-phosphorylated
Rb and isolating the capture antibody-Rb complex; ii) contacting the
capture antibody-Rb complex with an anti-Rb primary antibody and isolating the
capture antibody-Rb-primary antibody complex; and iii) measuring the amount of
CDK-phosphorylated Rb in the sample by quantitating the primary antibody present
in the capture antibody-Rb-primary antibody complex. These methods may be
used to assess intracellular CDK activity in cultured cells or in cells taken from an
animal. Also disclosed are methods of identifying an agent that modulates the CDK
activity.

Abstract: A display device and a method for driving the same are
disclosed. The display device confirms whether display data
applied to a display panel are uniformly maintained for a
predetermined time. As a result of confirmation, if the display
data are uniformly maintained for a predetermined time, pixels of
the display panel are made for a predetermined block unit so that
screen save modes are performed to sequentially apply screen save
mode data to pixels of each block. The screen save modes are
completed after there are sequentially performed for all blocks
on the display panel. Thus, uniform luminance deviation can be
obtained on the display panel of the display device and further
picture quality of the display device can be improved.

Abstract: A semiautomatic method for digital feature separation uses a trained sample selected by an operator using a software "eye dropper" tool or a similar region-of-interest tool to sample features of interest on a stored digital image of, for example, an electronic component such as pads, bumps or leads of the component. Pixels from the sampled features are analyzed and plotted based on their color hue and saturation values or gray scale intensity values. The range of such values is chosen by a user. A second digital image is then compared to the sampled feature data gathered by the "eye dropper" tool. If the color and intensity values of the pixels from the second digital image fall within a user defined acceptable absolute value range, then the locations and values of those pixels in the image are saved. Background or surrounding elements in the second digital image which do not fall within the acceptable value range are deleted and replaced with a code that makes these background or surrounding element locations appear as a graphic transparency. This process leaves only the features of interest in their original locations saved in the graphics memory surrounded by pixels that have been made video transparent. The resulting saved image which contains only the selected features is then laid over a live image such as that of a target substrate with corresponding features of interest. The operator then manually aligns the saved features from the component image over the corresponding features of the live image of the substrate to achieve component to substrate registration.

Abstract: A method of enhancing biomass yield of a lactic acid bacterial species cell culture, comprising cultivating the cells in a process comprising the steps of providing conditions that results in a reduced glycolytic flux and providing conditions that enable the cells to have, under aerobic conditions, a respiratory metabolism. The increased yield of biomass may be the result of an increased yield of ATP which can be obtained by activating the native ATP synthase activity of the H<+>-ATPase complex by lowering the ATP/ADP ratio, e.g. by carbon source limitation, and/or by increasing the proton gradient (membrane potential) of the cells, e.g. by enhancing or establishing an electron transport chain which can be achieved by enhancing expression of dehydrogenases or electron transport chain components, by adding to the medium a quinone or porphyrin compound or by enhancing the expression of the H<+>-ATPase activity.
