Patent CA-2365232-A1 (CA)
Title: Dispositif et procede d'essai de sensibilite microbienne
Inventor: JEFFREY SCOTT R
IPC: C12R1/01
Filed: 2000-03-09
Abstract: Cette invention concerne un procédé et un dispositif d'essai de sensibilité microbienne aux antibiotiques. Ce système comprend des plaques de sensibilité multi-chambre jetables et un manipulateur automatisé de plaque ainsi qu'un instrument d'acquisition et de traitement d'images. Dans les plaques de sensibilité, on inocule un micro-organisme (tout organisme convenable tel que bactérie, champignon, protozoaire, algue ou virus) et l'on applique un ou des agents anti-microbiens de telle sorte que le micro-organisme soit exposé à des concentrations diverses, ou à un gradient, de chaque agent anti-microbien. On place ensuite les plaques dans l'instrument avec lequel on surveille et l'on mesure la croissance (ou l'absence de croissance) des micro-organismes. Ces données servent à déterminer la sensibilité du micro-organisme aux antibiotiques. Un tel système permet d'automatiser les essais de sensibilité antimicrobienne au moyen de supports solides et un procédé de communication standardisé des résultats Kirby-Bauer. Ce système autorise un niveau d'automatisation associé jusqu'ici uniquement à des essais avec microdillution en bouillon de culture, tout en conservant les avantages de l'épreuve manuelle de diffusion en gélose. La figure (1) représente une boîte de Pétri utilisée pour une épreuve de diffusion en gélose pour détermination de la sensibilité aux antibiotiques.

Title: Apparatus for fast detection of x-rays
Inventor: JUPP IAN DAVID
IPC: G01N23/20
Filed: 2000-11-17
Abstract: This invention relates to the field of X-ray inspection systems and more particularly to those that use X-ray diffraction to analyse an object under inspection. Essential to prior art diffraction systems employing angular dispersion is the provision of a monochromatic incident X-ray beam. Conventionally, this is provided by filtering out the desired spectral peak from a polychromatic or quasi-monochromatic X-ray beam by means of the balanced filter technique. There are disadvantages to this technique in that  it requires two diffraction images to be subtracted form one another in orde r to get the desired spectral peak. This results in beam attenuation and data of poor statistical quality. The invention proposes the use of an array of semiconductor detector elements and associated electronics which are capable  of extracting an essentially monochromatic diffraction pattern from scattere d polychromatic or quasi-monochromatic X-rays.
