IPC: G01N33/569
Filed: 1985-11-08
Abstract: A first glycoprotein having a molecular weight of approximately 120,000 daltons in the H9/HTLV-III cell line, of which approximately 90,000 daltons is the unglycosylated moiety, is obtained from cells infected with human T-cell leukemia virus, type III. A second glycoprotein having a molecular weight of approximately 160,000 daltons is also obtained from such cells, of which approximately 90,000 daltons is the unglycosylated moiety and is substantially identical to the unglycosylated moiety of the first glycoprotein. The presence, in a biological specimen, of either of these unglycosylated or of the unglycosylated moiety is indicative of the presence of cells infected by human T-cell leukemia virus. An assay for the glycoprotein or its unglycosylated moiety is a useful diagnostic procedure for determining such infection in biological specimens.

Title: Narrow width eeprom with single diffusion electrode formation
IPC: H01L21/8247
Filed: 1991-11-13
Abstract: An EEPROM design featuring narrow linear electrodes including a source, a drain, a thin oxide, channel and floating gate. A pair of linear, opposed field oxide barrier walls form widthwise boundaries of the active structure which can be very closely spaced. The drain electrode, implanted in the substrate, abuts both opposed field oxide lateral walls, but does not extend under either wall. The source, drain and channel are formed in a single implant followed by diffusion after the field oxide barrier walls are formed, but prior to formation of the floating gate. All abut opposed field oxide walls in a stripe design. A control gate is disposed over the floating gate. The combination of opposed field oxide barrier walls, a stripe electrode design, and single step implant for electrode formation results in a very compact cell, utilizing a simplified EEPROM process.

Title: Oceanographic and meteorological data
Inventor: ANDERSON STUART JOHN
IPC: G01S13/95
Filed: 1992-05-15
Abstract: A method of obtaining oceanographic and meteorological data from high frequency radar spectral information comprising the steps of transmitting a plurality of signals to a remote geographic location, recording signals backscattered from the said location, generating a family of Doppler clutter spectra from the recorded backscattered signal and analysing the Doppler clutter spectra in terms of a model or models to generate oceanographic and meteorological data estimates. The Doppler spectra are categorised according to Suitability for Detailed Analysis (SDA). The SDA takes account of the clutter-to-noise ratio in the spectrum , the amplitudes of the Bragg-lines, multimode propagation, spectral broadening and other spectral parameters. Spectra with a low SDA are inappropriate for extracting directional wave spectrum estimates of reasonable accuracy but are useful for obtaining wind direction estimates. Spectra with a high SDA are capable of being inverted to provide good quality estimates of the extended directional wave spectrum.

Title: A method and system for sampling and determining the presence of contaminants in containers.
Inventor: MACDONALD STEPHEN J
IPC: G01N1/24
Filed: 1993-05-19
Abstract: A method of sampling and determining the presence of certain residues of contaminants in containers comprising the steps of: injecting compressed air into said containers in order to displace at least a portion of the contents thereof; evacuating a sample of the container contents so displaced by applying suction thereto; and analyzing the sample evacuated to determine the presence or absence of the certain residues therein. The compressed air is injected through a nozzle into an opening in the containers to displace a portion of the container contents and form a sample cloud outside of the container. The sample cloud is then at least partially evacuated by suction and the sample is analyzed for the presence of contaminants such as nitrogen containing compounds or hydrocarbons. In one embodiment about 90 % of the sample evacuated is diverted from the analyzer and recirculated into the air injector. A wide range of potential contaminants are detectable if beverage bottles are stored uncapped, prior to testing to give beverage product volatiles sufficient time to dissipate.

Title: Process for removing, separating, and concentrating metals
Inventor: KRAKOWIAK KRZYSZTOF E
IPC: C09K3/00
Filed: 1994-05-06
Abstract: A method for the removal, separation, and concentration of alkali metal, alkaline earth metal, Pb and/or Tl cations from a source solution which may contain larger concentrations of other ions comprises bringing the source solution into contact with a compound comprising an oxygen donor macrocycle-containing ligand covalently bonded through an organic spacer silicon grouping to a solid inorganic support. The ligand portion(s) of the compound has affinity for alkali metal, alkaline earth metal, Pb and/or Tl thereby removing them from the source solution. The alkali metal, alkaline earth metal, Pb and/or Tl cations are then removed from the compound through contact with a much smaller volume of a receiving solution in which these cations are either soluble or which has greater affinity for such cations than does the oxygen donor macrocyclic ligand thereby quantitatively stripping the complexed cations from the ligand and recovering them in concentrated form in said receiving solution. The concentrated cations thus removed may be further separated and recovered by known methods. The process is useful in the removal of alkali metal, alkaline earth metal, Pb and Tl cations from a variety of source solutions such as from semiconductor, nuclear waste cleanup, metals refining, electric power, and other industrial enterprises. The invention is also drawn to the oxygen donor macrocycle-containing ligands covalently bonded through a spacer grouping to a hydrophilic inorganic solid support material.
