Title: Microbe inspection equipment and method
Inventor: OGAWA AKIO
IPC: G01N15/00
Filed: 2002-07-18
Abstract: An examining instrument for extracting information on microbes from a sample produced by capturing microbes in a sample liquid by means of a filter and subjecting the microbes to fluorescent stain to produce the sample. Differen t exciting lights (1, 2) are projected to the filter, and binary images (A, B, C) of the fluorescences emitted for each field in response to the exciting lights are produced. The binary images (A, B, C) corresponding to the exciti ng lights (1, 2) are compared. By the comparison, the binary image (B) of the fluorescence emitted in response to a specific exciting light (e.g., excitin g light (1)) is automatically identified as a fluorescent image attributable t o microbes, and the binary images (A, C) of the fluorescence emitted in respon se to all the exciting lights are automatically identified as fluorescent image s attributable to other substances than the microbes. As a result, microbes in a sample liquid can be detected by an unmanned way.

Title: Process and apparatus for the application of fluropolymer coating to a threaded fastener
Inventor: SESSA EUGENE
IPC: B05B7/14
Filed: 2004-04-29
Abstract: A process and apparatus are provided for the application of a fluoropolymer coating to the threads of an internally threaded fastener. The fastener has a body and a threaded bore extending to opposing ends of the body to define opposing first and second openings in the fastener. The fastener is moved on a conveyor along a path of travel with its threaded bore in a predetermined orientation. As the fastener moves along its path of travel, the first opening is closed by means of an obstructing member, while an air stream carrying entrained fluoropolymer powder is directed from a nozzle through the second opening and into the threaded bore. The nozzle is stationary and is located at an axially displaced position relative to the second opening of the fastener and immediately adjacent the conveyor. Preferably, the nozzle includes a diffuser which directs the air stream and entrained fluoropolymer powder into the fastener bore in a diverging pattern. After the fluoropolymer powder is deposited onto the threads of the fastener, the conveyor moves the fastener through a heating station where the fluoropolymer powder is raised to its melting temperature causing it to melt and fuse into a generally continuous film covering the fastener's threads.

Title: Method and apparatus to reduce second order distortion in optical communications
Inventor: CHEN LIPING
IPC: H04B10/18
Filed: 2004-08-20
Abstract: Method and apparatus to reduce composite second order (CSO) non-linearity and/or dispersion degradation in multi-wavelength optical communications systems.  Optical communication systems using optical fibers are prone to suffer from undesirable distortion due to composite second order distortion caused by self phase modulation, cross phase modulation, and the optical Kerr effect in conjunction with polarization dependence loss.  Introduction of a delay (phase shift) between the two optical signals in a dual optical signal system has been found to reduce or suppress the composite second order distortion. The delay shift is provided in either the electrical (RF) mode or in the optical mode. This delay is typically provided in a transmitter or a repeater in an optical system. The typical amount of the delay is half a wavelength of the high frequency RF modulation or for a typical system operating with RF signal up to 550 MHz, one nanosecond of delay. This amount of delay can be provided with approximately a 20 centimeter length of optical fiber in the transmitter. This delay is applied to only one of the two wavelengths, thus providing the desired phase shift.

IPC: C12N15/09
Filed: 2004-12-02
Abstract: A quick, simple and efficient in vitro method for generating a random chimaeric and/or mutated gene or genes in a circular polynucleotide molecule is described.      The method is based on hybridization of random DNA fragments to a closed, circular DNA template, elongation of the fragments by a DNA polymerase and ligation of the fragments to each other by a DNA ligase resulting in a recombined, closed circular DNA molecule which functions as a new template in a next cycle of chimaerization. The degree of recombination can be controlled by the number of cycle repetitions, the amount of different templates or/and fragments and the ratio of the latter. This procedure is referred to as polymerase chain chimaerization (PCC). The PCC method is useful for generating new improved bio-molecules.
