IPC: C12Q1/6823
Filed: 1995-02-24
Abstract: A method for the introduction of non-radioactive label into nucleic acids (NA) comprises adding with terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT, E.C. 2.7.7.31) at least one non-radioactively labelled deoxynucleotide to the 3' end of a NA acceptor mol. having at least one 3'-terminal ribonucleotide. Also claimed are: (1) 3'-labelled RNA mols. and (2) TdT free of RNase activity. Use - The labelled RNA probes are used for the detection of NA analytes. For example, they can be used as hybridisation probes or as primers. In a claimed use, labelled RNA probes are hybridised to target DNA and then treated with RNase H. The RNase H will hydrolyse any RNA that is present in a DNA-RNA hybrid and the resulting fragments can be detected in the reaction medium. Non-hybridised RNA will be left intact.

Title: Procede et appareil reduisant la sensibilite des recepteurs aux interferences

Abstract: Procédé et appareil réduisant la sensibilité des récepteurs radio aux interférences. Le niveau de puissance d'un signal reçu est détecté. Si ce niveau est égal ou supérieur à un seuil de puissance prédéterminé, l'amplificateur à faible bruit (703) est contourné (730), ce qui élève le point d'interception des composants du récepteur. Des variantes de cette invention font appel à un détecteur de puissance HF (105) pour régler le gain des étages d'entrée (110) en fonction de la puissance de brouillage. Plusieurs procédés de commande continue du gain sont proposées pour remplacer le module commutable de réglage de gain HF (730). La commande continue du gain permet de régler le niveau de suppression des interférences et la sensibilité du récepteur à un niveau de signal plus faible que celui du module commutable. Selon un procédé de la présente invention, le gain d'entrée est réglé d'après une valeur prédéterminée (1601). L'unité de traitement du récepteur mesure la variation du gain de puissance du signal FI (1605). Si cette variation est inférieure à la valeur prédéterminée (1610), le signal AMDC et les émissions perturbatrices sont inférieurs au bruit de fond et le gain augmente (1615). Si la variation du gain de puissance du signal FI est supérieure à la valeur prédéterminée, il est évident qu'il y a interférence et l'on diminue le gain pour réduire les produits d'intermodulation (1620). Ce processus est utilisé jusqu'à ce que soit obtenu, pour le récepteur, le meilleur compromis entre interférence et facteur de bruit.

Abstract: In a controller (229) of a hydraulic control system for construction machines, a valve control signal calculating function (301) works such that when an operation pattern signal (A - I) for actuators (201, 202...) is outputted, it selects corresponding one of plural output patterns for an auxiliary valve control pressure stored, as a function of a differential pressure signal between a pump delivery pressure and a maximum load pressure, in relation to the operation pattern signals, followed by calculating an auxiliary valve control pressure (Pc) dependent upon the differential pressure signal based on the selected output pattern, and also selects corresponding one of plural sets of change speeds (K.., K..) for the auxiliary valve control pressure stored in relation to the operation pattern signals, followed by combining the calculated auxiliary valve control amount with the selected set of speed changes to calculate each of valve control signals (S21 - S26). A pump control signal calculating function (300) works such that when an operation pattern signal is outputted, selects both corresponding one of plural sets of control gains (LSD, LSU) for a hydraulic pump (220) stored in relation to the operation pattern signals (A - I) and corresponding one of plural differential target pressures also stored in relation to the operation pattern signals, followed by determining a deviation between the differential pressure signal and the selected target differential pressure, calculating pump control signals (S11, S12) to reduce the differential pressure deviation using the differential pressure deviation and the selected set of control gains (LSD, LSU), and controlling the displacement volume of the hydraulic pump (220).

Abstract: A bar code and/or indicia scanning method that is able to determine what light was emitted from an upper layer invisible bar code and/or upper layer invisible indicia and what light was reflected back to the detector from a visible lower layer bar code and/or visible lower layer indicia. The detecting is "blind" to the spectra of the excitation source. Rather than differentiate between the exciter and emitter in the spectral domain, this invention differentiates between the exciter and the emitter in the time domain. The latency and persistence of the phosphorescent pigments of the invisible ink are used so that the detected signal (23) is only the signal emitted by the upper layer invisible ink after the light source (13) is turned off. Illumination and detection are synchronized to reduce the effects of reflection to zero so that the detector need not be chosen to be blind to the exciter. The foregoing is particularly suited to LED and laser illumination where the light source may be easily turned on and off.

Abstract: In a preferred embodiment, a method of billing comprises electronically transferring identifying information of a purchaser from a wireless terminal of the purchaser to a merchant's billing device to initiate a transaction between the purchaser and the merchant, creating an electronic record of the transaction between the purchaser and the merchant where the record contains at least the identifying information and an amount transacted and billing the purchaser for the amount transacted. The identifying information, e.g., Caller ID data, can be electronically transferred to the merchant billing device via a wireless telecommunication network. Alternatively, a local proximity connection between the purchaser's wireless terminal and the merchant billing device can be used. A processor within the billing device retrieves information related to the purchase either from a memory within the billing device or from an electronic cash register external to the billing device. The processor can command a control circuit to deliver the service or merchandise such as raising a toll booth gate to allow a vehicle to pass. The processor then constructs the electronic transaction record, which is subsequently transmitted to a centralized billing location or database.
