Abstract: A method of alleviating edge curling when laminated structures comprising layers of green material having different shrinkage rates are sintered comprises applying to a face ( 18 ) of edges ( 14 ) the first layer ( 10 ) having the higher shrinkage rate green sinterable material, opposite to the second layer ( 12 ) having the lower shrinkage rate green sinterable material, an edge strip ( 16 ) of a green sinterable material also having a shrinkage rate lower than the first layer, and then firing the laminated structure. The edge strip may be partly or, advantageously, wholly embedded in the first layer. The sinterable materials of the second layer and edge strip may be the same or similar. The invention is particularly applicable to solid oxide fuel cell sub-structures in which the first layer is the anode layer and the second layer is the electrolyte layer.

Abstract: A method for processing 2D operations in a tiled graphics architecture is disclosed. A graphics controller processes both 3D primitives and 2D blit operations. The 3D primitives are sorted into bins using well-known techniques. When a 2D blit operation is to be processed, the 2D blit operation is also sorted into bins. The sorted 3D primitives and sorted 2D blit operations are then delivered to blit and rendering engines on a bin-by-bin basis. By sorting the 2D blit operations into bins along with the 3D primitives, there is no need to flush the bins (send primitives to rendering engines) whenever a 2D blit operation requires processing. The sorting of 2D blit operations into bins reduces the frequency of graphics cache misses and improves graphics memory bandwidth utilization, thereby improving overall computer system performance.

Abstract: The F. necrophorum gene expressing leukotoxin was sequenced and cloned. The leukotoxin open reading frame (lktA) is part of a multi-gene operon containing 9,726 bp, and encoding a protein containing 3,241 amino acids with an overall molecular weight of 335,956 daltons. The protein encoded by the gene was truncated into five polypeptides having overlapping regions by truncating the full length gene into five different sections and amplifying, expressing, and recovering the protein encoded by each of these sections. Additionally, a region upstream of the gene was sequenced and the polypeptide encoded by that nucleotide sequence was purified and isolated. These polypeptides along with the full length protein are then tested to determine their immunogenicity and protective immunity in comparison to the efficacy of immunization conferred by inactivated native leukotoxin in F. necrophorum culture supernatant.

Abstract: A biosensor apparatus and method with sample type and cell volume detection. The apparatus includes a sine wave generator to apply an AC signal to a biosensor cell containing a sample, a current-to-voltage converter, a phase shifter, a square wave generator, a synchronous demodulator, and a low pass filter which yields a signal proportional to the effective capacitance across the biosensor cell, which is proportional to the volume of the sample. In addition, the current-to-voltage converter yields a signal indicative of the type of sample contained within the biosensor cell. The method includes applying a sine wave to the biosensor cell, shifting the phase of the resultant signal, generating a square wave synchronous with the sine wave, demodulating the resultant signal with the square wave, and filtering the demodulated signal to produce a signal proportional to the effective capacitance across the biosensor cell. The biosensor apparatus and method are capable of determining sample type and measuring glucose levels over a wide range of sample volumes.
