Abstract: Krypton and/or xenon is separated crudely from a mixture (100) comprising oxygen
and at least one rare gas selected from the group consisting of krypton and xenon in a
process comprising feeding said mixture (100) or a mixture (108) derived therefrom to a rare
gas recovery system (16) and separating said mixture feed (108) in said rare gas recovery
system (16) into rare gas-lean gaseous oxygen ("GOX") (110) and rare gas-enriched product

Abstract: An optical sampling subsystem (228) and method that reduces the effect of errors in an optical sampling subsystem when heterogeneously distributed samples (200) are measured in the path of a spectrometer (400) are described. The optical sampling subsystem (228) is used to collect the non-uniformly distributed radiation exiting the heterogeneous sample (200) and produces a uniform irradiance at its output. The output is then directed into the wavenumber (inverse of wavelength in centimeters) dispersive or modulating device of the spectrometer (400). The resulting spectra exhibit less spectral complexity arising from components of the sampling subsystem design and the heterogeneous sample (200). In particular, the effect of wavenumber shift is minimized. Improved quantitative predictions, qualitative analysis and calibration transfer are direct consequences of the reduced spectral complexity.

Abstract: A data transmission system in which normal transmission can
be performed irrespectively of the inserting orientation of a
connector is provided. A transmitting device transmits to a
receiving device a differential transmission signal including
polarity decision data for deciding the polarity of the connector.
Based on the polarity decision data included in the differential
transmission signal transmitted from the transmitting device, the
receiving device decides whether the polarity of the connector
has been reversed or not. When it is decided that the polarity
has not been reversed, the receiving device reads data from the
differential transmission signal. When it is decided that the
polarity has been reversed, the polarity of the differential
transmission signal is reversed for data reading.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for the amplification of DNA in a reaction mixture, the device (1) comprising a heated chamber (2) including a rotor (3) for holding a plurality of reaction vessels for reaction mixtures, a drive means for the rotor, a microwave energy source (8) with means for controlled delivery of said energy to the reaction mixtures, and a system (14-16) for determining denaturation of double-stranded DNA. The invention also provides a method for the amplification of a nucleic acid strand. In the first step of the method, a reaction mixture is formed comprising the target nucleic acid strand, nucleotides, a primer, a thermostable nucleic acid polymerase, and, if necessary, a reagent for the detection of denaturation of double-stranded DNA. In the second step, the mixture is incubated at a temperature which allows synthesis of a nucleic acid strand complementary to the target nucleic acid strand. The third step comprises denaturing double-stranded DNA formed in the second step by microwave energisation of the reaction mixture with monitoring of the mixture to determine the denaturation end point. The reaction mixture is allowed to cool to a temperature at which primer anneals to the target nucleic acid strand in the fourth step. The second to fourth steps are repeated until a desired level of amplification is achieved.
