Title: Method of storing a ligand in a releasable containment means and method of releasing a ligand therefrom
Inventor: STEAD RONALD H
IPC: G01N1/30
Filed: 1994-02-03
Abstract: There is disclosed an automated apparatus and process for immunocytochemical staining of biological materials using ligand pairing. The apparatus includes an array of sample cells interconnected with reagent supply and drainage lines. Each cell encloses a fluid chamber into which a sample substrate is inserted. The face of the substrate onto which a biological sample is mounted faces into a fluid well. The cell includes a cell head having a chamber to receive therein a solid support matrix releasably containing a ligand to be contacted with the sample. The chamber in the cell head is in flow communication with the fluid well so that when the ligand is released from the matrix it flaws into the fluid well thereby contacting the mounted biological sample. The ligand support matrix may be gelatin or wax. The cell body and cell head are differentially heated or cooled so that the mounted sample may be held at the preferred temperature for the reaction of interest and the call head may be heated to a temperature sufficient to cause thermal degradation of the matrix to effect release of the ligand. Control electronics is provided for sensing and controlling the temperature of the various cell parts and for programmable control of reagent supply to the cells. 19

Title: An optical disc with different wobble patterns in different grooves
Inventor: SANO TATSUSHI
IPC: G11B7/24082
Filed: 2002-10-16
Abstract: The S/N ratio is improved for recording data to grooves (2-1, 2-2) of an optical disc so that as much information as possible can be recorded at the lowest possible frequency band. An optical disc using wobble patterns to record different information has a first groove (2-1) having a first wobble pattern (22) in which one wobble period has a sharp rising edge and a gradua l falling edge; and a second groove (2-2) having a second wobble pattern (24) in which one wobble period has a gradual rising edge and a sharp falling edge. Each of the first and the second wobble pattern is represented by a first fundamental and a second harmonic of a Fourier series. The polarity of the second harmonic, which is an even harmonic, of the second wobble pattern is opposite that of the first wobble pattern. A method for manufacturing this optical disc is also provided.

Abstract: Systems and methods for providing an image on an organic product to provide a communication to the recipient or otherwise individualize the organic product.  The image is photo-etched into a photosensitive material (12) of a printing plane or clich~ (10) by the use of a film positive. Ink is applied to the clich~ and transfer medium (22) and (24) is placed in contact with the clich~.  The transfer medium lifts ink from the image area of the clich~ and creates a negative image on the medium. The transfer medium transfers the inked image onto an organic product, such as a flower petal (32) or leaf. The printed image (80) is then set so as to remain on the organic product to communicate a message to and/or to individualize the product for the intended recipient.
