Abstract: This invention provides an improved system for monitoring and recording cell cultures. An improved lid (10) for the system includes pin sockets (28) interposed between traces (24) on a printed circuit board (22) and elongated, electrically conductive pins (38). A method for measuring a delay period for an alternating current voltage applied across a pair of pins (38) improves the stability of measurements made with the improved system. A method for applying a voltage across a pair of pins (38) which avoids exceeding a pre-established voltage avoids the possibility of damaging and/or destroying cells while monitoring their culture. Subtracting electrical conductivity measured for a reference well (16) that holds only cell growth media without cells from the electrical conductivity measured for other wells (16) during analysis of recorded data improves the presentation of test results obtained by monitoring and recording cell cultures.

Abstract: A microcontroller fabricated on a semiconductor chip has an on-chip EPROM program memory with programmable EPROM configuration fuses located in a limited number of addresses of the on-chip program memory, the condition of each of EPROM fuse being defined as blown or not blown according to the value of the bit stored in the respective address of the on-chip program memory. The operating modes of the microcontroller are configurable by appropriately programming at least some of the EPROM fuses. Testing of the microcontroller in at least some of the operating modes is achieved by using latches outside the program memory to emulate the EPROM fuses, while suppressing the capability to set the condition of the EPROM fuses during the testing. Upon completion of the testing, control of the operating modes of the microcontroller is returned to the EPROM fuses, and the latches are precluded from further emulating the EPROM fuses.

Abstract: Dehydrated liposomes are prepared by drying liposome preparations under reduced pressure in the presence of one or more protective sugars, e.g., the disaccharides trehalose and sucrose. Preferably, the protective sugars are present at both the inside and outside surfaces of the liposome membranes. Freezing of the liposome preparation prior to dehydration is optional. Alternatively, the protective sugar can be omitted if : (1) the liposomes are of the type which have multiple lipid layers ; (2) the dehydration is done without prior freezing ; (3) the dehydration is performed to an end point which results in sufficient water being left in the preparation (e.g., at least 12 moles water/mole liped) so that the integrity of a substantial portion of the multiple lipid layers is retained upon rehydration. Concentration gradients capable of generating transmembrane potentials can be created across the liposome membranes either before or after dehydration, and the transmembrane potentials resulting from these gradients can be used to load charged materials, e.g., drugs, into the liposomes.

Abstract: A device for the regeneration and sterilisation of soil, in particular compost soil or the like, with steam is indicated, in which, in an elongate treatment space (2; 2''), a worm (4; 4'') is arranged, which continuously conveys the material to be treated, which is introduced into the treatment space (2; 2''), from the inlet side (5) to the outlet side (16) of the treatment space (2; 2'') and mixes the same thoroughly. Also provided is a steaming arrangement (8, 8') which introduces pressurised steam into the treatment space (2; 2'') via steam introduction openings (20; 20''; 22) along the longitudinal extent of the treatment space (2; 2''). The steam introduction openings (20; 20''; 22) can be provided in the wall of the treatment space (2; 2''). Alternatively or additionally, steam introduction openings (22) can be provided in the worm conveyor (4'') which is then designed as a hollow worm (4''). In order to make possible continuous and automatic charging of the treatment space (2; 2'') with material to be treated, there are expediently arranged, in the region of a filling funnel (7; 7'') serving for feeding, steam inlet openings (25) at a spacing from the inlet opening (6; 6'') of the treatment space (2; 2''). At the same time, a pretreatment or presteaming of the material to be treated is thus obtained in the region of the filling funnel (7; 7''). As the device according to the invention is continuously operable, the material can be treated continuously with it and with increased productivity in order to obtain a high-quality compost soil which is to a great extent free from any pathogens, fungi or the like and can consequently be used as cultivating soil for horticulture and in nurseries without it being necessary to use chemical means for the regeneration and sterilisation of the earth. <IMAGE>
