Title: Polynucleotide amplification analysis using a microfabricated device
Inventor: WILDING PETER
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 1993-04-29
Granted: 1997-04-17
Abstract: Disclosed are devices and methods for the clinical analysis of a sperm sample. The devices comprise a solid substrate, typically on the order of a few millimeters thick and approximately 0.2 to 2.0 centimeters square, microfabricated to define a sample inlet port (16A) and a mesoscale flow channel (20, 40) extending from the inlet port (16A). In one embodiment, a sperm sample is applied to the inlet port (16A), and the competitive migration of the sperm sample through the mesoscale flow channel (20, 40) is detected to serve as an indicator of sperm motility. In another embodiment, the substrate of the device is microfabricated with a sperm inlet port (16A), an egg nesting chamber (16B), and an elongate mesoscale flow channel (20, 40) communicating between the egg nesting chamber (16B) and the inlet port (16A). In this embodiment, a sperm sample is applied to the inlet port, and the sperm in the sample is permitted to competitively migrate from the inlet port (16A) through the channel (20, 40) to the egg nesting chamber (16B), where in vitro fertilization occurs. The devices of the invention may be used in a wide range of applications in the analysis of a sperm sample, including the analysis of sperm morphology or motility, to assess sperm binding properties, and for in vitro fertilization.

Title: Coating glass
Inventor: GRUNDY BARRY THOMAS
IPC: C23C16/44
Filed: 1989-10-04
Granted: 1992-04-16
Abstract: An apparatus 1 for depositing onto the surface of a moving ribbon of hot glass 12 a coating formed from the reaction of at least two gaseous reactants. The apparatus includes an open-faced coating chamber 10 in which the gaseous reactants are caused to flow in contact with the glass surface to be coated in a direction substantially parallel to the direction of movement of the glass so as to form the desired coating on the glass surface. The coating chamber opens downwardly onto, and extends across the width of, the glass surface to be coated, and has a first inlet means 14 for providing a flow of a first gaseous reactant over the glass surface through the chamber over the width thereof, and a second inlet means 15 constituted by an inlet channel 15 which extends across the ceiling 9 of the chamber over the width of the chamber for introducing a second gaseous reactant to the flow of the first gaseous reactant in the coating chamber 1. The ceiling of the coating chamber has a stepped configuration at the juncture of the said inlet channel and the coating chamber, so that the ceiling of the coating chamber on the upstream side of the inlet channel is at a higher level than the ceiling of the coating chamber on the downstream side of the said inlet channel. A first gas distributor 19 conveys the first gaseous reactant from a gas supply duct to said first inlet means, and a second gas distributor 24 conveys the second gaseous reactant from a second gas supply duct to said second inlet means. Exhaust means 26 are located downstream of the first and second inlet means leading from the coating chamber for removal of spent gases from the coating chamber.

IPC: E05F15/20
Filed: 1989-11-15
Granted: 1991-08-08
Abstract: A movable door incorporates a proximity detection system for sensing obstructions in the path of the door. The system comprises an array of transmitter/receiver pairs (21, 22 and 23), each pair comprising a transmitter (1) for transmitting an energy pulse, a receiver (2) located adjacent the transmitter and directed to receive any reflected transmitter pulses, and a shielding (3) for shielding the receiver (2) from receiving energy pulses directly from the transmitter (1). At least two transmitter/receiver pairs (21, 23) are mounted on a leading edge or face of the door (12) to transmit energy pulses in a direction which is not at right angles to the leading surface or edge of the door, to monitor for obstructions in the path of the door (12). Another two transmitter/receiver pairs (26 and 28) are mounted on the leading edge or surface of the door (12) to transmit energy pulses at right angles to the surface or edge of the door (12). One of the latter two receiver pairs (26) has a different response to the other pair (27) so that when the door (12) approaches a stationary object the one pair (26) detects the object ahead of the other pair (27). Means are provided to respond to the output of the one pair (26) indicating the detection of an object to inhibit the output of the other pair (27). Different transmitter/receiver pairs may transmit on different frequencies, and means for suppressing unwanted reflected signals is provided. Means for transmitting data signals on a two conductor power supply cable for the system is also disclosed.
