Patent GB-8317855-D0 (GB)
Title: Biochemical detection method
IPC: G01N33/543
Filed: 1983-06-30
Abstract: A biochemical detection method in which a ligand is bound to a surface, an aqueous solution containing an antiligand is brought into contact therewith whereby antiligand becomes bound to ligand, the aqueous solution is separated from the thus bound antiligand, and the antiligand is detected using a detection means associated therewith, for example using amplified enzyme-linked immunoassay. The surface is treated with at least one agent for limiting non-specific binding of either the ligand or the antiligand with other substrates, which agent is (i) a surfactant containing an aromatic residue and having an HLB number of at least 16, (ii) a zwitterionic surfactant, or (iii) a solution containing a salt of a polyvalent anion, in a concentration of at least 100 mM. Preferably, all three agents are used simultaneously. The three agents may be used during the detection procedure in solutions containing the antiligand, in washing solutions used during the method, or in solutions used to pre-treat the plate.

Title: A radio frequency oscillator and an electrosurgical generator incorporating such an oscillator
IPC: A61B18/12
Filed: 1993-07-12
Abstract: In an electrosurgical generator having a self-tuning oscillator which includes a switching device and a resonant output network connected between the switching device and a supply rail, an oscillator feedback circuit feeds to the switching device a switching control pulse signal for separately switching the switching device to its "on" state whilst the voltage across the device is decreasing, the phase of the "on" point being dynamically variable such that the "on" time of the device is adjusted so as to regulate the amplitude of the voltage thereacross. This allows reverse conduction of the switching device to be avoided, giving improved efficiency.

Patent GB-9519995-D0 (GB)
Title: Viterbi co-processor and method of operation therefor
IPC: H03M13/23
Filed: 1995-09-30
Abstract: The Viterbi state trellis (120) was Window Error Detection and effects two passes of a frame through the trellis (120). During a first pass, metric-difference calculations are suspended, but path metric calculations are indexed. At an identified branch, trellis data words (138-144) are recorded and associated with the branch. Upon completion of the first pass, a desired survivor path is determined and "traced-back" to its corresponding state in the identified branch using indexed path metrics, for example. The path metric corresponding to this state is nominally reloaded and, starting from that state, decoding of the frame occurs for a second pass while metric-difference (L-value) calculations are performed on the desired survivor path only, and only a single lowest L-value for the desired survivor path is recorded. This is intended to reduce memory space for the calculations and reduce power requirements. It may be used in GSM cellular communications using forward error correction.

Title: Releasable tube coupling devices
IPC: F16L37/091
Filed: 1999-06-10
Abstract: A releasable tube coupling device includes a body (1) housing a sealing ring (5) and a grab ring (10) both of which are dimensioned such that, when a tube (3) is inserted into the device, there is a clearance between them and the outside of the tube (3). The sealing ring (5) and the grab ring (10) are then deformed into, respectively, sealing and gripping contact with the tube (3) by tightening a compression nut (8) engaged with the interior of the body (1) of the coupling device.  The coupling device of the invention overcomes the problems, associated especially with larger size grab ring coupling devices, of resistance to insertion of the tube (3) into the device and of possible damage to the sealing (5) and/or the grab ring (10) during the tube insertion step.  <IMAGE>

Abstract: A cleaning device of the type known as cotton broom comprises an elongated handle, a supporting frame connected to said handle and a web (19) of fabric stretched over said supporting frame. The supporting frame is made up by three parts hinged together, that is two arms (1, 2) and a central member (3) provided with an attachment (9, 10) for a broomstick (48).

Filed: 1982-04-06
Abstract: A pen point for writing with an ink, having a pen nib with two nib points separated by a slit. The surfaces of the nib points perpendicular to the slit have, over a part of their length, a film chemically inert to the ink and wettable thereby, thus forming two lips which substantially cover the slit and abut with one another when the nib is in an unflexed state. The lips extend substantially from the slit origin to the nib tips and consist of a varnish, a plastic material or a metal. The pen point is manufactured by a process wherein a pen nib having two nib points and a slit therebetween is coated with a continuous film of material, chemically inert to the ink and wettable thereby, with the film then being divided to form the two lips.
