Abstract: A tissue sample is conventionally visualized in a microscope. A selectively activated convex surface is provided, preferably at the distal end of a rod. This selectively activated convex surface when activated, typically with a laser through an optic light path in the microscope, provides the activated region with adhesive properties. At least one portion of the tissue sample which is to be extracted is identified. This identified portion is contacted with a portion of the selectively activated convex surface on the end of the rod. When the convex surface is activated, typically by exposure to laser light in the footprint of the desired sample, an adhesive transfer surface on the selectively activated convex surface is provided which adheres to the desired cells in the footprint of the desired sample. Thereafter, the adhesive transfer surface is separated from the remainder of the tissue sample while maintaining adhesion with the desired cells. Thus the desired portion of the tissue sample is extracted. The disclosed selectively activated convex surface is preferably utilized to collect desired tissue samples at more than one location on the same slide or from different slides. The collected tissue samples can thereafter be inspected if desired, as collected on the convex surface, and then liberated-as by dissolving the proteins of the samples. This can effectively concentrate rarely occurring cells in order to obtain enough pure material for analysis. A rod having a convex surface with the selectively activated material is set forth as a staple for use with the apparatus and process. Preferred shapes for the convex surface are disclosed as well as a method for coating rods with a resultant rod article.

Abstract: Disclosed are compositions and a method for amplification of and multiplex detection of molecules of interest involving rolling circle replication. The method is useful for simultaneously detecting multiple specific nucleic acids in a sample with high specificity and sensitivity. The method also has an inherently low level of background signal. A preferred form of the method consists of an association operation, an amplification operation, and a detection operation. The association operation involves association of one or more specially designed probe molecules, either wholly or partly nucleic acid, to target molecules of interest. This operation associates the probe molecules to a target molecules present in a sample. The amplification operation is rolling circle replication of circular nucleic acid molecules, termed amplification target circles, that are either a part of, or hybridized to, the probe molecules. A single round of amplification using rolling circle replication results in a large amplification of the amplification target circles. Following rolling circle replication, the amplified sequences are detected using combinatorial multicolor coding probes that allow separate, simultaneous, and quantitative detection of multiple different amplified target circles representing multiple different target molecules. Since the amplified product is directly proportional to the amount of target sequence present in a sample, quantitative measurements reliably represent the amount of a target sequence in a sample. Major advantages of this method are that a large number of distinct target molecules can be detected simultaneously, and that differences in the amounts of the various target molecules in a sample can be accurately quantified. It is also advantageous that the DNA replication step is isothermal, and that signals are strictly quantitative because the amplification reaction is linear and is catalyzed by a highly processive enzyme.

Abstract: The present invention relates to sheet-like materials suitable for use in the containment and protection of various items, as well as the preservation of perishable materials such as food items. More particularly, the present invention provides an improved storage wrap material comprising a sheet of material having a first side and a second side. The first side comprises an active side exhibiting an adhesion peel force after activation by a user which is greater than an adhesion peel force exhibited prior to activation by a user. The storage wrap material may be activated by different approaches, but in a preferred embodiment the active side is activatible by an externally applied force exerted upon the sheet of material. The force may be an externally applied compressive force exerted in a direction substantially normal to the sheet of material. In accordance with the present invention, the storage wrap material is selectively activatible by a user in discrete regions to provide adhesive properties where and when desired. The use of an adhesive or adhesive-like substance on the surface of the material provides an adhesion peel force after activation which is sufficient to form a barrier seal against a target surface at least as great as those of the material and the target surface such that perishable items, such as food items, may be effectively preserved. The storage wrap materials of the present invention may be utilized to enclose and protect a wide variety of items by various methods of application, including direct application to the desired item, enclosure of the desired item and securement to itself, and/or in combination with a semi-enclosed container.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed for improving the consistency and quality of a frozen carbonated beverage product. The invention utilizes a method of monitoring the level of liquid in the mixing chamber of a frozen carbonated beverage machine to accomplish this result. The method involves measuring the pressure spikes that occur in the mixing chamber. The magnitude of a pressure spike is indicative of the amount of liquid in the mixing chamber. If a pressure spike is too high or too low, that is indicative that there is too much or too little liquid in the mixing chamber. By regulating the amount of liquid in the chamber, the consistency and quality of the beverage product can be maintained. The present invention uses a microprocessor to determine when the spikes are outside of an acceptable predetermined range. If the pressure spikes are outside of the acceptable range, the microprocessor readjusts set point pressure values, which are used to determine when to turn on and off the supply of ingredients into the chamber, thereby regulating the gas to liquid ratio, and thus the amount of liquid in the chamber. This in turn allows for accurate control over the consistency and quality of the beverage product.
