Title: Method for shaping strip-like films
Inventor: MARTIN BAR
IPC: B65H45/14
Filed: 2000-02-22
Abstract: The method for the shaping of strip-like films (2), comprises the following steps:   a) A film strip (2) is continuously forwarded from a film supply to shaping units, b) The film strip (2) is pleated in a first shaping unit (11). In this, edges (21, 22) are produced which form an angle of inclination to the edges (36) of the film strip having a constant value.   c) After a forwarding of the pleated strip (2') to at least one further shaping unit (12) the former is reshaped in one or more steps. In this the edges (21, 22) are eliminated through plastic deformation by means of a roller pair (120) in edge zones (30b) outside of a middle zone (30a) of the strip and are at the same time replaced by curved edges (31, 32).        The angles of inclination of the curved edges continuously increase from the middle zone to the strip edges.

IPC: G01N21/64
Filed: 1998-10-06
Abstract: A microsphere-based analytic chemistry system is disclosed in which self-encoding microspheres having distinct characteristic optical response signatures to specific target analytes may be mixed together while the ability is retained to identify the sensor type and location of each sensor in a random dispersion of large numbrs of such sensors in a sensor array using an optically interrogatable encoding scheme.      An optical fiber bundle sensor is also disclosed in which individual microsphere sensors are disposed in microwells at a distal end of the fiber bundle and are optically coupled to discrete fibers or groups of fibers within the bundle. The identifies of the individual sensors in the array are self-encoded by exposing the array to a reference analyte while illuminating the away with excitation light energy. A single sensor array may carry thousands of discrete sensing elements whose combined signal provides for substantial improvements in sensor detection limits, response times and signal-to-noise ratios.

Title: Method for determining the position of an automated guided vehicle
Inventor: HOLMQUIST FREDRIK
IPC: G05D1/02
Filed: 1998-10-13
Abstract: A method for position finding of an automated guided vehicle using detection of angle positions for anonymous reflectors (R1-R11). The anonymous reflectors are arranged in positions in a limited transport area, and the positions are stored. A concentrated been (B) is emitted from a vehicle (10) and is made to pass over a search sector. The angle position in relation to a reference direction (D) of the vehicle (10) in reflective objects is continually detected during the sweep of the beam over the search sector, and corresponding angle values are determined. Initially the Following measures are taken for association of the angle positions to physical reflectors, and for determination of the position of the vehicle (10): i) at least three angle values with a suitable distribution over the search sector is selected, ii) the angle values are associated to reflectors and a position is determined for the vehicle on the basis of the known position of the reflectors, iii) if the vehicle position determined in this way is within a certain part of the transport area the other angle values are associated to reflectors, iv) for each angle value, existing deviation is determined between detected angle values and angle values expected between the vehicle position and known reflectors, v) the measures taken are repeated for each possible combination of selected angle values. A combination of associations with the best possible agreement on the vehicle position is selected, whereby the position and direction of the vehicle is determined.

Title: High surface density covalent immobilization of oligonucleotide monolayers
Inventor: THOMPSON MICHAEL
IPC: C03C17/34
Filed: 1998-10-16
Abstract: Oligonucleotides and other biomolecules are immobilized in high density on solid substrates through covalent forces using either a permanent thioether bond, or a chemoselectively reversible disulfide bond to a surface thiol. Substrates which have hydroxyl groups on their surfaces can be first silanized with a trichlorosilane containing 2-20 carbon atoms in its hydrocarbon backbone, terminating in a protected thiol group. The oligonucleotides or other biomolecules are first connected to a tether consisting of a hydrocarbon or polyether chain of 2-20 units in length which terminates in a thiol group. This thiol may be further modified with a halobenzylic-bifunctional water soluble reagent which allows the conjugate to be immobilized onto the surface thiol group by a permanent thioether bond. Alternatively, the oligonucleotidetether-thiol group can be converted to a pyridyldisulfide functionality which attaches to the surface thiol by a chemoselectively reversible disulfide bond. The permanently bound oligonucleotides are immobilized in high density compared to other types of thiol functionalized silane surface and to the avidin-biotin method.

Filed: 1998-11-20
Abstract: In some embodiments, network traffic information is captured at network information sources. These sources provide detailed information about the network communications transactions at a network device. Importantly, different types of sources can provide different types of information. Gatherer devices gather the detailed information from the various information source devices and convert the information into standardized information. The gatherer devices can correlate the gathered information with account information for network transaction accounting. Manager devices manage the gatherer devices and store the gathered standardized information. The manager devices eliminate duplicate network information that may exist in the standardized information. The manager devices also consolidate the information. Importantly, the information stored by the manager devices represents the consolidated, account correlated, network transaction information that can be used for billing or network accounting. The system thereby provides a distributed network accounting and billing system.

Title: Marine cylinder oils containing high viscosity detergents
Inventor: ELIADES THEO I
IPC: C10M159/24
Filed: 1999-02-25
Abstract: Marine cylinder oils require a relatively high viscosity, and therefore generally include substantial amounts of an albeit costly high viscosity lubricating oil of at least about 2000 to 4000 SUS at 100 °F.  The use of overbased detergents with viscosities of at least about 180 cST at 100 °C, such as high viscosity overbased calcium sulfonates and phenates, was found to reduce the need for substantial amounts of the high viscosity lubricating oil and still achieve the desired finished marine cylinder oil viscosity. The weight percent of the high viscosity oil in the marine cylinder oil is inversely commensurately proportional to the viscosities of the detergent and lubricating oil for a predetermined marine cylinder oil viscosity. The present invention provides a marine cylinder oil with a viscosity of at least about 15 to 25 cST at 100 °C, with reductions of more than about 12 % to 16 % or more by weight of the costly high viscosity or bright stock oil by the use of high viscosity detergents.
