Abstract: Disclosed is an improvement in a measuring apparatus
comprising: an inputting device including an inputting-and-setting
switch for inputting and recording a plurality of pieces of
information, data-modifying switches for changing a selected one or
ones of the plurality of pieces of information and a measurement
starting switch for starting measurement of a certain characteristic
of an object; a measuring device for measuring the certain
characteristic of the object; a memory device for storing the
plurality of pieces of information inputted by the inputting device;
an arithmetic and control unit (ACU) for determining a required
indicia from the certain characteristic of the object and from the
plurality of pieces of information; and a display for showing the
plurality of pieces of information and the so determined indicia.
The arithmetic and control unit is responsive to depression of the
data-modifying switches subsequent to depression of the measurement
starting switch for putting the measuring apparatus in its inputting
state, thereby permitting alteration of a selected one of the
plurality of pieces of information. Renewal of often changeable
variables selected among those stored in the memory is permitted
without the necessity of repeating the inputting and recording of
the other data. Such exclusive renewal improves significantly the
operability of such measuring apparatus.

Abstract: An electrosurgical generator has sensing circuitry for sensing changes in reflected
power fed back from a radio-frequency output of the generator, and a control
arrangement coupled to the sensing circuitry for processing a reflected power
monitoring signal. The control arrangement acts to reduce or stop the application of
radio frequency power to the generator output in response to a predetermined condition
of the monitoring signal indicative of a change in reflected power due to a change in the
state of the tissue being treated. The generator has upper and lower frequency parts
operable above and below 300MHz, both parts being connected to the generator output,
and the control arrangement reduces or cuts off the applied radio frequency power when
the load impedance sensed at the operating frequency of the lower frequency part
changes.

Abstract: A communication breaking device 20 causes a PN-code generator 38 and a delay correcting unit 40 to advance the phase of a PN code sequence extracted by a receiving antenna 21, wide-range amplifiers 22 and 26, a multiplier 24, a BPF 28, a carrier-wave detector 32, a divider 34, a synchronization trapping unit 36 and a PN-code generator 38. An inverted-code generator 41 inverts the PN code sequence into an inverted code sequence. The inverted code sequence is transmitted by a multiplier 42, an electric-power amplifier 44 and a transmitting antenna 47. The inverted code sequence, which is transmitted as a communication breaking wave, is formed into a code sequence in the form of inversion of a pilot signal conforming to CDMA system. Moreover, the phase of the inverted code sequence has been advanced. Therefore, the pilot signal, which is being propagated, can appropriately be compensated with the advanced inverted code sequence. Thus, a fact can be recognized by a portable telephone that the portable telephone is deviated from a communication area for the base station.

Abstract: Mismatch Repair Detection (MRD), a novel method for DNA-variation detection, utilizes bacteria to detect mismatches by a change in expression of a marker gene. DNA fragments to be screened for variation are cloned into two MRD plasmids, and bacteria are transformed with heteroduplexes of these constructs. Resulting colonies express the marker gene in the absence of a mismatch, and lack expression in the presence of a mismatch. MRD is capable of detecting a single mismatch within 10 kb of DNA. In addition, MRD can analyze many fragments simultaneously, offering a powerful method for high-throughput genotyping and mutation detection.
