Inventor: AMORESE DOUGLAS A
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 2001-10-08
Abstract: A method of evaluating for the presence of a single nucleotide polymorphism in a
target (9). The method uses an addressable array (2) of probes (8) linked to a substrate
(1). An analyte is exposed to the array (2) and a set of probes (8), such that the target (9)
that may be present will bind to the probes (8). After the target (9) has hybridized to the
probe (8), the probe (8) is extended using a DNA polymerase (13). A labeled (12) RAPD
primer is used to produce a cDNA to the extended probe (8). Thermocycling is then used
to amplify the labeled (12) products produced. A binding pattern on the array (2) is
observed and the presence of the target (9) evaluated based on the binding pattern. Kits
for detecting single nucleotide polymorphisms using these arrays (2) are also disclosed.

Abstract: The disk scheduling algorithms try to service a request with lower priority
and strict deadline only if serving this request is not going to violate the deadline
constraints of a higher priority request. One of the algorithms uses a single
queue to hold all the requests regardless of their priority. The single queue is
reorganized after the arrival of a new request according to the order requests
would be serviced. A second algorithm uses multiple queues. Each queue holds
only requests with the same priority, and the requests in each priority queue are
sorted according to their deadlines. The decision of servicing a request is made
at scheduling time.

Abstract: The system, executable by a general purpose computer, includes a plurality of risk-modeling software engines, a model data conversion engine, and a rating evaluation engine. Risk-modeling software engines provide for the evaluation of respective property loss risk factors to generate model result data based on a site-specific description of a predetermined property. The model data conversion engine stores a plurality of insurability profiles that define respective sets of predetermined loss risk-factor base criteria, with each of the insurability profiles corresponding to an insurance source. The model data conversion engine is coupled to receive the model result data and is operative to select a qualified insurance source by providing for the adaptive conversion and comparison of the model result data against the sets of predetermined loss risk-factor base criteria to select a predetermined insurance  source. The rating evaluation engine, coupled to receive the model result data and the predetermined insurance source, autonomously generates a site-specific insurability rating for the predetermined property based on the model result data.

Abstract: A method and system for distributing flows between a multiple processors. The flows can be received from an external source such as a network, by a front-end processor that recognizes the flow and the associated request, and identifies at least one internal applicatiolns processor to process the request/flow. The front-end processor utilizes a flow scheduling vector related to the identified applications processor(s), and the flow scheduling vector can be based on instrinsic data from the applications processor(s) that can include CPU utilization, memory utilization, packet loss, and queue length or buffer occupation. In some embodiments, applications processors can be understood to belong to a group, wherein applications processors within a group can be configured identically. A flow schedule vector can be computed for the different applications processor groups. In some embodiments, a control processor can collect the instrinsic applications processor data, compute the flow scheduling vectors, and transfer the flow scheduling vectors to the frontend processor.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un irrigateur chirurgical composé d'une unité de pompage reliée une pièce à main par l'intermédiaire d'une tubulure d'irrigation allongée. L'unité de pompage comporte une turbine et un moteur à pile destiné à entraîner la turbine. La pièce à main comporte une valve d'irrigation ouvrant la valve en position enfoncée, et permettant au liquide d'irrigation de circuler jusqu'à la zone chirurgicale. Un appareil de détection de flux est disposé à la sortie de l'unité de pompage. Lorsque la valve d'irrigation est ouverte, le liquide traversant le dispositif de détection de flux sous l'effet de la gravité amène un flotteur à se déplacer avec le liquide. Une source lumineuse émet un faisceau lumineux interrompu par le mouvement du flotteur. Ledit faisceau est détecté par un photodétecteur produisant un signal destiné à mettre le moteur en marche de manière à actionner la pompe. Un commutateur d'isolation de pile sert à interrompre le circuit entre les piles et le moteur de manière que le système ne puisse être mis en marche durant le transport ou le stockage. Une valve antireflux connectée entre la source de liquide d'irrigation et la pompe maintien le liquide contenu dans l'irrigateur à une pression supérieure à la pression atmosphérique lorsque la valve est fermée. L'unité de pompage comporte une admission connectée à une extrémité d'un tube flexible court, l'autre extrémité de celui-ci étant connectée à un perforateur standard destiné à connecter l'unité de pompage à une poche d'irrigation. L'unité de pompage comporte également des attaches fixant l'unité de pompage sur une potence pour intraveineuse ou similaire. Le perforateur est revêtu de silicone de manière à réaliser une connexion simple entre l'unité de pompage et la poche d'irrigation.

Abstract: A real-time, interactive system and method of building a list of contact records (208/408), such as a mailing list, on a computer network (120) based on selected criteria. A list specification (202) is generated, which may include interactively specifying (514) a geographically defined area for which a contact list is desired including receiving user input, and interactively selecting a product from a plurality of products and a threshold score for the product including receiving user input. The list specification may be transmitted over the computer network to a server (150) where the contact list is built in real-time based on the list specification. If a set of characteristics of the contact list, such as number of records generated or cost, are approved by the user (322/624), the contact list is transmitted to a user-specified node (332/628) on the computer network. The list specification may be stored in memory for reuse by a business, such as a chain of stores. This feature provides a way to easily regenerate new and updated contact lists at future dates for all or a subset of the stores by accessing updated source databases without having to respecify the list every time a fresh list is required.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne une technique en quatre étapes pour charger des piles et des batteries zinc-nickel, par laquelle on assure une durée de vie élevée, sans formation de dendrites ou sans excès de charge dommageable, avec une modification minimale de la forme de l'électrode en zinc, et avec une recombinaison minimale d'oxygène. Dans une première étape, on charge la batterie ou la pile zinc-nickel à l'aide d'un courant moyen inférieur à C/5 pour une durée inférieure à cinq minutes, ou jusqu'à ce que la tension aux bornes atteigne 1.75 volts à 1.79 volts. Dans une deuxième étape, on impose une charge rapide, jusqu'à ce que la tension aux bornes atteigne entre 1.88 volts et 1.92 volts. Dans une troisième étape, on impose une charge modérée jusqu'à ce que la tension aux bornes atteigne 1.90 volts à 1.94 volts. La quatrième étape consiste en une charge d'entretien lorsque la tension aux bornes est supérieure à 1.94 volts. De manière caractéristique, chacune des transitions entre les étapes 1 et 2 et les étapes 2 et 3 est déterminée par une tension dépendant de la température; la transition entre les étapes 3 et 4 est déterminée par un point d'inflexion temporel de la tension aux bornes de la pile ; et la fin de la quatrième étape est déterminée lorsque dV/dt = 0.

Abstract: Production of microstructured regions comprises applying microstructures in the surface of one side of a sheet in a continuous embossing step whilst the surface structure of the other side of the sheet is not changed. The embossing step uses a roller having a negative of the microstructure to be embossed. The edges of the microstructure form an angle of 5 degrees to the vertical and contain the negative in the comparison structures to even out deformation over the roll gap. Preferred Features: The sheet is heated before being embossed. The microstructures have a depth of 0.1-0.5 mm.
