Abstract: PCT No. PCT/GB97/00490 Sec. 371 Date Aug. 21, 1998 Sec. 102(e) Date Aug. 21, 1998 PCT Filed Feb. 21, 1997 PCT Pub. No. WO97/31282 PCT Pub. Date Aug. 28, 1997A confocal microscope comprises a light source, a focusing arrangement, a detector and an encoded mask (17). The light source illuminates the mast (17) and the encoded light is then focused on a specimen. Light from the specimen is then decoded, by either the same or a separate complementary mask, before being detected, for example by a camera. The mask (17) is encoded with a pattern which generates a combined confocal and non-confocal image and the confocal image is subsequently extracted from the combined image. This means that confocal images of different regions of the specimen can be produced simultaneously, which in turn enables real-time confocal imaging of the specimen. In addition, as the microscope is no longer restricted to delta correlated images, an improvement in the light budget can also be achieved.

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.

Abstract: Uniformly sized and shaped particles of metal salts are provided comprised of one or more metal cations in combination with one or more simple oxoacid anions and a general method for the controlled precipitation of said metal salts from aqueous solutions. The methods proceed via the in situ homogeneous production of simple or complex oxoacid anions in which one or more of the nonmetallic elements e.g. Group 5B and 6B (chalcogenides), and 7B (halides) comprising the first oxoacid anion undergo oxidation to generate the precipitant anionic species along with concurrent reduction of the nonmetallic element of a second, dissimilar oxoacid anion. The oxoacid anions are initially present in solution with one or more metal cations known to form insoluble salts with the precipitant anion.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for, in the manufacturing of an integrated circuit, producing a capacitor with metallic conducting electrodes and to the capacitor itself and to the integrated circuit, which preferably are intended for high-frequency applications. According to the invention, a lower electrode (17, 63, 67) is produced through depositing a first metal layer (15) onto a layer structure (11) comprising lowermost a substrate and uppermost an insulating layer (13). An insulating layer (19) is deposited over the first metal layer (15), whereafter an electrical connection (25) to the lower electrode (17, 63, 67) is produced by etching a via hole (21) through said insulating layer (19), which via hole (21) is plugged. Thereafter the first metal layer (15) is uncovered within a predetermined area (33), whereafter a dielectric layer (35) is deposited, patterned and etched in such a way that it overlaps (39) said predetermined area (33). Finally, an upper electrode (47, 63, 67) and a connecting layer (43) are produced through a second metal layer (41) being deposited on the structure (40) achieved thereby, which second metal layer (41) is patterned and etched in such a way that the upper electrode (47, 63, 67) overlaps (49) said predetermined area (33) and the connecting layer (43) overlaps the plugged via hole (21).

Abstract: On fabrique une bande de papier ménager en mettant en oeuvre un procédé modifié de pressage humide utilisant une presse à air complètement hermétique. Après formation initiale et déshydratation classique sous vide, la bande humide est conformée au contour de la surface d'un tissu relativement grossier pour conférer à la bande une surface structurée. En créant sur toute la bande une différence de pression d'au moins 30 pouces de mercure et un écoulement d'air traversant d'au moins 500 SCFM/in2, la bande humide est déshydratée sans compression, par la presse à air, à une consistance d'environ 30 à 40 pour cent avant de passer dans un sécheur Yankee. La bande est séchée pour préserver sensiblement sa structure tridimensionnelle obtenue par séchage à air traversant. La bande ainsi produite présente une épaisseur moyenne et un pouvoir absorbant exceptionnels jamais égalés jusqu'ici pour des produits de pressage humide.

Abstract: A process for preparing a PET flake mixture for use in connection with the fabrication of high performance plastic strapping comprises the steps of initially collecting post consumer and non post consumer PET materials having an initially wide range of relatively low intrinsic viscosity (IV) values with a relatively low average intrinsic viscosity (IV) value, and processing the same through solid state polymerization (SSP) so as to obtain a wide range of relatively high intrinsic viscosity (IV) values with a relatively high average intrinsic viscosity (IV) value. The initially collected materials are chopped into flakes and chunks, and the chunks are removed by a suitable destoner so as to render the remaining mixture comprised substantially entirely of flake materials or segments. This is advantageous because the flake segments, as opposed to the chunk segments, are able to be substantially increased in intrinsic viscosity (IV) values and within a relatively short period of time, and in addition, the flake segments are essentially crystalline while the chunk segments are essentially non-crystalline which would otherwise undergo rapid crystallization and generate a substantial amount of heat of crystallization. Such heat of crystallization undesirably raises the temperature of the polymerization process whereby the materials tend to become sticky and agglomerate thereby impeding the flow of the materials being processed as well as tending to clog components of the processing apparatus.
