Abstract: Il est courant d'analyser des matériaux cristallins à l'aide d'une technique consistant à réaliser un modèle de diffraction des rayons X à partir du matériau, puis à comparer celui-ci avec des modèles de référence semblables, dérivés à partir de matériaux connus. Cependant, on rencontre de sérieux problèmes avec la mise en oeuvre actuelle de cette technique, laquelle est destructrice car elle implique, soit de couper en tranches l'échantillon de matériau originel, soit de le réduire en poudre, ce qui signifie que l'échantillon, sous sa forme réelle, est perdu à jamais. En outre, cette technique dans sa forme actuelle est grande consommatrice de temps, ceci étant notamment dû au fait que les sources commerciales de rayons X sont relativement faibles (avec une faible intensité, ou luminosité ), monochromatiques (à bande étroite) et présentent un faible pouvoir de pénétration. La présente invention propose l'utilisation de rayons X plus brillants, qui possèdent une fréquence plus élevée et à plus fort pouvoir de pénétration et sont polychromes. L'invention propose notamment un procédé dans lequel on illumine l'échantillon de matériau à l'aide d'un faisceau collimaté de photons de rayons X polychromes présentant une luminosité comportant une largeur de bande d'au moins 1015 photons/sec/mrad2/0,1 %, et une puissance d'au moins 20keV. Un synchrotron constitue une source appropriée de tels rayons X.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for enhancing the time of response of an assay for a first bacterium, characterised in that: a) the said first bacterium is exposed to infection by phage particles to which the said first bacterium is permissive; b) the infected bacterium is treated to in-activate exogenous phage particles; c) the treated bacterium is cultivated in the presence of a second bacterium which is permissive to said phage or its replicand and which has a doubling rate greater than the effective doubling rate of the first bacterium; and d) assessing the extent of plaque formation and/or of second bacterium growth in the cultivated second bacterium cells. The method of the invention can be used to assess the presence of first bacterium in a sample, notably where the first bacterium is a slow growing bacterium, especially Mycobacterium tuberculosis, where the method of the invention enables an operator to detect the presence of low amounts of the bacterium in a sample within days instead of the weeks required with conventional bacterial cultivation techniques. The invention can also be used to assess the effect of a drug or other treatment on a bacterium or of a virus. The invention also provides a diagnostic kit for use in the method of the invention.

code provided on an optical disk is provided. The bar code is provided in at
least a part of an annular-shaped bar code area formed between a program
area and a clamping area of the optical disc, and the bar code represents
predetermined information and has a reading end representation at the rear

apparatus comprises a detector for optically acquiring the information of the
bar code and a discriminating section for discriminating based on the output
from the detector as to whether the bar code is accurately read. The
discriminating section includes a first determining section for determining
based on the output from the detector as to whether the data acquired by the
detector contains data of the reading end representation or an equivalent
thereof; and a second determining section for determining based on the result
of the determination of the first determining section as to whether or not the
data acquired by the detector reaches a predetermined amount of data of the
bar code. The discriminating section discriminates that the bar code is
accurately read in the case where the first determining section determines that
the data acquired by the detector contains data of the reading end
representation or an equivalent thereof, and the second determining section
determines that the data acquired by the detector reaches the predetermined
amount of data of the bar code.
