IPC: C12Q1/00
Filed: 2008-09-17
Abstract: An assay system is provided of great sensitivity and portability where the presence of a specific target in a sample, as well as its concentration (qualification and quantification) is detected by reason of a potential or voltage in a closed circuit, built up a redox reaction. The reaction is produced by binding a capture moiety to an enzymatic redox reaction partner, allowing the capture moiety to bind to any target in the sample, and washing any such bound target. The bound target, if not immobilized, may be immobilized through use of a second capture moiety. Substrate for the enzyme is then added. The action of the enzyme upon the substrate frees electrons, creating a potential across an anode and cathode which may be separated by a membrane.

Title: Locking wedge system
Inventor: Wang dong bing
IPC: F16B31/02
Filed: 2010-09-30
Abstract: A locking wedge system for use with a load-carrying stud having a locknut (or work piece) mounted on the stud in locking relation with another work piece employs a laterally displaceable laterally tapered wedge member that is forced transversely into axial jacking relation between a pair of tapered washers so as to apply a large axial locking force against the lock nut and work piece. The tapered wedge member is forced into engagement between the pair of tapered washers by way of a transversely extending jacking screw. The jacking screw may pull or push the tapered wedge member into or out of engagement between the pair of tapered washers. A preferred wedge angle from normal to the stud is 3 degrees with an operating range from 1 degree to 10 degrees. The locking wedge system elements are selectively rotatable about the stud, for optimum operating access to the jacking screw.

Abstract: A method, system and apparatus provide that movement of an interference pattern of a coherent light beam is mapped to cursor movement to effect navigation of a user interface. A remote controller operable to emit a coherent light beam is in cooperative arrangement with a display device operable to display a user interface, navigable by means of a cursor. A laser diode element and coupled diffuser element of the remote controller generate the coherent light beam. Movement of the remote controller causes movement of an interference pattern of the coherent light beam impinging upon a sensor of the display device;  movement of the interference pattern is sensed by the display device and mapped to corresponding movement of the cursor in the user interface. Thus, the remote controller may be used to navigate an on-screen user interface by movement of the remote controller itself.
Patent CA-2731985-A1 (CA)
Inventor: ABMA RAYMOND L
IPC: G01V1/28
Filed: 2009-08-17
Abstract: This is a method of separating simultaneous sources that uses an inversion-type approach. Each source will preferably activated at a random time with respect to the others. These random delays tend to make the interference between sources incoherent while the reflections create coherent events within a series of shots. The shot separation is performed via a numerical inversion process that utilizes the sweeps for each shot, the start times of each shot, and the coherence of reflection events between nearby shots. This method will allow seismic surveys to be acquired faster and cheaper.

Abstract: An object (4) to be taped in carbon fiber has a first taping strip (1), beside which a second taping strip (2) is arranged, leaving between both of them a separation between strips (3), having an automatic taping machine (5).   One light generator block (7) produces a light mark (6) that is applied to the separation (3) area; an image capture block (8) captures the light mark (6), being analyzed by a processing and control block (10).   If the separation measure (M L, M R) between strips (3) is within an accepted tolerance range (T), then the taping method continues without change. But if the value of the measure (M L, M R) is far greater than the tolerance (T) allowed, or it is far less than the tolerance (T) allowed, then signals (S R, S L) are generated and sent to the position control (10) to correct the position to the right or to the left, until obtaining a new measure (M L, M R) value that meets the allowed tolerance (T).
