Abstract: A cyanide-free lytic reagent composition and method for measuring the
total hemoglobin concentration in a blood sample, for counting the number of
leukocytes and for differential counting of three leukocyte subpopulations
including lymphocytes, monocytes, and granulocytes are described. The
cyanide-free lytic reagent composition comprises a hemolytic surfactant
selected from the group consisting of quaternary ammonium salts, pyridinium
salts, organic phosphate esters, and alkyl sulfonates to lyse erythrocytes and
release hemoglobin, and an organic ligand selected from the group consisting
of triazole and its derivatives, tetrazole and its derivatives, alkaline metal salts
of oxonic acid, melamine, aniline-2-sulfonic acid, quinaldic acid, 2-amino-1,3,4-thiadiazole,
triazine and its derivatives, urazole, DL-pipecolinic acid,
isonicotinamide, anthranilonitrile, 6-aza-2-thiothymine, adenine, 3-(2-thienyl)acrylic
acid, benzoic acid and alkali metal and ammonium salts of
benzoic acid, and pyrazine and its derivatives to form a stable chromogen with
hemoglobin. The lytic reagent composition has a pH ranging from about 1 to
about 13. The lytic reagent composition is mixed with a blood sample which is
prediluted with a suitable blood diluent and the UV absorption of the sample
mixture is measured at the predetermined absorption wavelength of the formed
chromogen from 510 nm to 560 nm. Counting the numbers of leukocytes and
differential counting of three leukocyte subpopulations are accomplished
simultaneously on an automated cell counter utilizing DC impedance
measurement. Alternatively, the organic ligands can be added to a suitable
blood diluent for hemoglobin and leukocyte analysis.

Abstract: A link plate for silent chains 10 includes a pair of teeth or toes 10a each
formed of an inside flank 11 and an outside flank 12 and a pair of pin apertures
10b to insert connecting pins 3 thereinto. A moment M around a pin 3 is shown
as follows: M = F × Lo where F is a force applied by a tooth 21 of a sprocket
20 against a meshing point 12e on the outside flank 12, and Lo is a length of a
perpendicular drawn from a center O of a pin aperture 10b to an action line m
of the force F. In order to decrease this moment M, the length Lo of the
perpendicular is shortened, said link plate having an engaging point E with a
tooth of a sprocket on an intersection between a straight line n and a flank, said
straight line n and the direction of a central line connecting each center O of
pin apertures forming a pressure angle α, and being in contact with a circle C,
said circle C having a center located at a center O of said pin aperture and a
radius r ≤ 0.25 × P, where P is a pin aperture pitch. Also, a pressure angle α of
the outside flank is determined to satisfy an inequality, 32° ≤ α < 34°, to lessen
the force F.

Abstract: The Invention discloses a method for the analysis of the methylation of specific cytosine bases in genomic DNA samples, characterised by the fact that the following steps are implemented: (a) the genomic DNA is chemically treated in such a manner that cytosine is converted into uracil or a similar acting base regarding the base pairing behaviour in the DNA duplex, 5 methylcytosine however remains basically unmodified; (b) the chemically treated DNA is amplified using at least one oligonucleotide (type A) as primer in a polymerase reaction, whereby the two strands of the polymerase reaction product are manufactured in unequal quantities; (c) the amplificate is hybridised with one or more pairs of oligonucleotides (type B), which hybridise to the positions which are to be examined regarding their methylation status in the genomic DNA sample whereby one oligonucleotide of each pair hybridises preferentially in each case if in the genomic DNA sample the position was methylated, while the other oligonucleotide of the pair hybridises preferentially, if the position was unmethylated. Each oligonucleotide of a pair is labeled with a unique fluorescent label; (d) the fluorescence polarisation characteristics of the solution are measured, whereby for each fluorescent label used one determines the degree of polarisation.

Abstract: There is decribed an apparatus for generating a number from data originating from an analogue source, the apparatus comprising means for performing a set of the data and then processing, in accordance with stored processing instructions predetermined by a training process, the data to generate the number. During the training process, the sensitivity of the value of the generated number to variation in each of the measurement values is analyzed, and the process instructions are generated so that the processing of individual measurement values is modified to reduce this sensitivity. In this way, the repeatability of the generated number is improved.

Abstract: Economical processes are disclosed for the production of fuels of reduced sulfur content from a feedstock, typically derived from natural petroleum, wherein the feedstock is comprised of limited amounts of sulfur-containing organic compounds as unwanted impurities. The processes involve an integrated, multiple stage system for converting these impurities to higher boiling products by alkylation and removing the higher boiling products by fractional distillation. Advantageously, the processes include selective hydrogenation of the high-boiling fraction whereby the incorporation of hydrogen into hydrocarbon compounds, sulfur-containing organic compounds, and/or nitrogen-containing organic compounds assists by hydrogenation removal of sulfur and/or nitrogen. Products can be used directly as transportation fuels and/or blending components to provide, for example, more suitable components for blending into fuels which are more friendly to the environment.

Abstract: As a rotational reference position (40) of a rotating
drum (16) is detected by a rotational position detection sensor (42)
for each rotation of the rotating drum, a rotational
position of the rotating drum at a time of detection can
be known. Subsequent to a signal for instructing stop of
the rotating drum being input, the rotational reference
position is detected. Then, a stop position calculation
processing section (56) calculates a stop control pulse for
stopping the rotating drum from the rotational position at
a trailing edge chuck (36) detaching position. Thus, the
rotating drum is reliably stopped at the trailing edge
chuck detaching position. A stop processing is performed
by a rotating drum drive control section (58) when the
rotational reference position is detected after the
calculation. As a result, the stop position is not shifted
by the time required for calculation and generation of the
stop control pulse.

Abstract: A power management scheme for use in a wireless device reduces the power
consumption of the network interface module of the wireless device by selectively
putting the network interface module into a low-power state for an idle time. The
length of the idle time is calculated such that the amount of delayed traffic data
accumulated is expected to be less than or equal to a pre-selected threshold when the
network interface module is put in the low-power state for the calculated idle time.
The amount of delayed traffic data as a function of the idle time is modeled using
average inter-arrival and service rates that are derived from traffic statistics data.
