Title: Rapid gas-phase isotopic labeling for enhanced detection of protein conformations
Inventor: RAND KASPER D
IPC: H01J49/26
Filed: 2010-04-14
Abstract: A mass spectrometer (MS) that is adapted to allow rapid gas- phase hy-drogen/deuterium exchange (HDX) labeling of ions in one or more traveling wave ion guides (TWIGs) with or without ion mobili-ty separation. The addition of isotopic label-ing by gas- phase HDX offers a sensitive al-ternative dimension for conformational de-tection, which enables high resolution de-tection of gaseous conformations based on shape and surface reactivity. Gas-phase, iso-topic HDX labeling, or "curtain" labeling, can be performed by infusing a reactive, iso-topic labeling gas, e.g., ND3, into one or more of the traveling-ion wave guides (TWIG) in the MS. Analyte ions retained in the potential wells of a traveling wave gen-erated by one or more of the TWIGs can be isotopic labeled at adjustable gas pressures.  Labeling times can also be controlled by ad-justing the speed of the traveling wave and can be performed within milliseconds of ionizations, probing protein conformations present in solution.

Abstract: To provide a method for producing a lead-acid battery negative plate for use in a storage battery which provides improved deteriorated rapid discharge characteristics by preventing an interfacial separation between a negative active material-filled plate and a carbon mixture-coated layer, which is a problem in a negative plate having such a configuration that the carbon mixture-coated layer is formed on the surface of the negative active material-filled plate.     A coating layer of a carbon mixture is formed at least in a part of a surface of a negative active material-filled plate.  The carbon mixture is prepared by mixing two kinds of carbon materials consisting of a first carbon material having conductive properties and a second carbon material having capacitive capacitance and/or pseudo capacitive capacitance and a binding agent. Subsequently, a sufficient amount of lead ions are generated enough to be moved from the negative active material-filled plate into the carbon mixture-coated layer.  Thereafter, a formation treatment or an initial charge treatment is performed to precipitate lead so that the carbon mixture-coated layer and the negative plate are connected and integrated, at least in a part of a respective interfacial surface thereof, by the precipitated lead.

Abstract: A method of generating a human-readable data synopsis involves a computer receiving data comprising demographic and/or consumer behavioural data attributes; and forming data aggregations by querying the received data with at least a first query and a second query. At least one of the data sources comprises geographic data associated with the data attributes. The queries each include a common data attribute criterion that queries the data attributes, and a respective geographic criterion that queries the geographic data. The geographic criterion of the first query defines a different geographic region than that of the second query. The computer performs an analysis of the data aggregations by applying the results of the queries as inputs to a pre-defined logic function, and evaluating the logic function. On a display device, the computer generates the human-readable synopsis by applying a result of the data aggregation analysis as input to a pre-defined report template.

Abstract: Methods of isolating cellular products, such as pancreatic islets, may be used in diabetes research and therapeutic transplantation. The methods may involve providing a tissue having desired cells that are less prone to destructive freezing and undesired cells that are more prone to destructive freezing, or pre-treating a tissue to have such characteristics. The methods may involve freezing the tissue, disrupting the tissue, warming the tissue, and separating the desired cells from undesired cellular material to obtain the cellular product. The methods may thereby provide an enzyme-free or reduced-enzyme method of isolating a cellular product that is more consistent, reliable and less toxic than conventional methods. The methods may also yield an optimum quantity of cellular product that retain sufficient functional integrity to be useful as a transplantation resource.
