Abstract: Compositions containing at least one bead conjugated to a solid support and further conjugated to at least one macromolecule, such as a nucleic acid and methods for making the compositions are provided. The resulting surfaces formed from the beads linked to the solid support advantageously provide increased surface area for immobilization of biological particles or macromolecules, particularly nucleic acids compared to "flat" surfaces. Furthermore, by selecting a bead with the desired functionality, an appropriate functionalization chemistry for immobilizing the selected macromolecule or biological support, which is different from the chemistry of the solid support, can be produced.

Inventor: COLON MARCELO
IPC: C07K14/52
Filed: 1991-05-24
Abstract: This invention relates to a method of producing
peracetyloxazolines from peracetyl saccharides. The
method involves reacting the starting material, a
peracetyl saccharide, with a reagent combination, to
directly produce the peracetyl oxazoline. This method
may be used for the activation of oligosaccharides,
wherein an oligosaccharide containing a reducing GlcNAc
terminus is activated by the formation of an oxazoline
at the terminal GlcNAc, and then coupled with a
bifunctional spacer to provide an oligosaccharide-spacer
conjugate. The activated oligosaccharide-spacer
conjugate is then coupled to a protein, such as
granulocyte colony stimulating factor or γ-interferon,
providing a neoglycoprotein conjugate. The invention
provides a method for forming neoglycoprotein
conjugates which may improve biological and
physiochemical properties of the protein. For example,
serum life-time or efficiency of drug delivery of the
peptide to a target organ or cell may be improved.

Abstract: In a quenching apparatus for quenching a glass sheet that
has been heated and bent in a heating furnace, a cooling gas blows
onto the glass sheet to provide a distribution of a temperature and/or
a distribution of a static pressure in at least one section in the
quenching apparatus. The distribution of a temperature provides
different temperatures between the both surfaces of the glass sheet,
while the distribution of a static pressure is nonuniform in a part of

a shape of the glass sheet given in the heating furnace so that a
degree of freedom in shape for manufacturing a bent and tempered
glass sheet by utilizing its self-weight can be improved.

IPC: G06F12/08

Abstract: An apparatus and method for optimizing a non-inclusive hierarchical cache
memory system that includes a first and second cache for storing information. The first
and second cache are arranged in an hierarchical manner such as a level two and level
three cache in a cache system having three levels of cache. The level two and level
three cache hold information non-inclusively, while a dual directory holds tags and
states that are duplicates of the tags and states held for the level two cache. All snoop
requests (snoops) are passed to the dual directory by a snoop queue. The dual directory
is used to determine whether a snoop request sent by snoop queue is relevant to the
contents of level two cache, avoiding the need to send the snoop request to level two
cache if there is a "miss" in the dual directory. This increases the available cache
bandwidth that can be made available by second cache since the number of snoops
appropriating the cache bandwidth of second cache are reduced by the filtering effect
of dual directory. 
     Also, the third cache is limited to holding read-only information and receiving
write-invalidation snoop requests. Only snoops relating to write-invalidation requests
are passed to a directory holding tags and state information corresponding to the third
cache. Limiting snoop requests to write invalidation requests minimizes snoop requests
to third cache, increasing the amount of cache memory bandwidth available for servicing
catch fetches from third cache. In the event that a cache hit occurs in third cache, the
information found in third cache must be transferred to second cache before a
modification can be made to that information.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for measuring metallic impurities within a fluid by X-ray
fluorescence in which a sample stream flowing at a constant flow rate is passed
through a microporous filter. The microporous filter contains substantially no metallic
impurities and is configured to adsorb the particulate solid phase and vapor phase of
the compounds. Excitation of the metallic compounds by X-ray produces an X-ray
florescence having an intensity that can be measured. The change in intensity is
compared with that produced by a calibrated inflow of a standard gas sample to derive
the impurity concentration. In a preferred embodiment, the filter is housed within a
chamber having a window that is preferably fabricated from Beryllium so as not to
appreciably attenuate the X-rays.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un gyroscope à diapason micromécanique comportant deux électrodes centrales (9a, 9b). Les deux électrodes centrales sont excitées par des potentiels de polarisation à polarité opposée. Les électrodes centrales à polarisation opposée produisent une symétrie électrique à travers le gyroscope et réduisent ainsi les transitoires de charge et la sensibilité à une translation verticale. Les courants injectés directement dans les masses d'essai (3a, 3b) sont égaux et opposés, et s'annulent donc. Les forces de soulèvement du moteur agissant sur les masses d'essai et les électrodes imbriquées étant égales, les masses d'essai se déplacent par translation pure, réduisant ainsi la polarisation en phase. En outre, toute translation pure normale dans le plan du gyroscope n'entraîne pas d'émission de signaux de sortie d'axe de direction.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for opto-electronic scanning, by pixel and by line, of screened master photographic images with a sensing device. From the actual scanning, at least one master photographic image area that contains th egrid scale is detected in the screened master photographic image. Subsequently, the picture values present in the local area of the detected grid scale area of the master photographic image are transferred by Fourier transformation to the frequency range as a spatial frequency spectrum, and, from the spatial frequency spectrum, the screen ruling and raster angle of the raster of the master photographic image are determined. For the determined raster angle and the determined screen rulings of the grid scale of the master photographic image, the optimal scan frequencies (fAx; fAy) for Moiré-free scanning are determined from the spatial frequency spectrum. The optimal scan frequencies (fAx; fAy) which determine the scanning fineness are set at the sensing device and then the screened master photographic image is scanned with the set optical scan frequencies, to obtain the picture values necessary for reproduction of the screened master photographic image.
