Patent NO-992583-D0 (NO)
Inventor: PAREKH RAJESH BHIKHU
IPC: G01N1/28
Filed: 1999-05-28
Abstract: The present invention provides methods and apparatus for identifying, selecting and characterizing biomolecules in a biological sample. A two-dimensional array is generated by separating biomolecules present in a complex mixture. A computer-readable profile is constructed representing the identity and relative abundance of a plurality of biomolecules detected by imaging the two dimensional array. Computer-mediated comparison of profiles from multiple samples permits automated identification of subsets of biomolecules that satisfy pre-ordained criteria. Identified biomolecules can be automatically isolated from the two dimensional array by a robotic device in accordance with computer-generated instructions. A supported gel suitable for electrophoresis is provided that is bonded to a solid support such that the gel has two-dimensional spatial stability and the solid support is substantially non-interfering with respect to detection of a label, such as a fluorescent label, associated with one or more biomolecules in the gel. <IMAGE>

Title: Heat treatment apparatus
IPC: D06C7/00
Filed: 1984-03-05
Abstract: A process in which material (20) is passed effectively continuously through a gaseous treatment chamber (10) by way of at least one open port (12) is improved by applying gas curtains across the material path to form externally adjacent the port a buffer zone (50) between the chamber interior and the surrounding atmosphere, which zone acts generally to balance the gaseous outflow otherwise occurring through the port.

Title: A composite material
IPC: B29C65/00
Filed: 1990-12-06
Abstract: A composite material is manufactured from two spaced stacks (2 and 4) of intermediate fabric material. Each stack consists of a plurality of layers of material placed together face to face. Each layer is formed by embedding high strength fibres having a high modulus of elasticity in a resin matrix. The stacks (2 and 4) are removed from a release film (6), and a film of adhesive is applied to the lower surface of the side portion (8) of the stack (2) and the upper surface of the side portion (10) of the stack (4). These side portions (8 and 10) are placed in overlapping relationship, and are then crimp fastened together by a plurality of fasteners (12). Further layers (14 and 16) of intermediate fabric material are placed over the side portions (8 and 10) to cover the fasteners (12). The crimp fastened stacks (2 and 4) are placed in a mould tool comprising a base plate (18) and a top mould plate (20). A vacuum bag (22) is placed over the top mould plate (20), and an air tight seal is made between the vacuum bag (22) and the base plate (18) by means of a peripheral sealer tape (24). The space inside the vacuum bag (22) is evacuated by withdrawing air through a passage (34) at one edge of the vacuum bag (22). The fastened stacks (2 and 4) are compressed by bringing together the plates (18 and 20), and the mould tool and vacuum bag assembly is then heated in an autoclave to cure the stacks (2 and 4) while they remain under pressure to form the required composite material. After the curing operation has been completed, the mould tool and vacuum bag assembly is removed from the autoclave, the vacuum bag (22) is removed, the mould plates (18 and 20) are separated, and the cured composite material is removed.

Title: Solvent transfer process for dinitrogen pentoxide
IPC: C01B21/20
Filed: 1994-05-17
Abstract: A process for the production of dinitrogen pentoxide (N2O5) in an organic solvent consists of dividing off a minor proportion (31) of the anolyte stream (11) of an electrolytic cell (2) which is set up to generate N2O5 and of cooling that portion and/or adding to the portion a quantity of N2O4, such that two phases are formed. The phases are separated (34) and the light (upper) N2O4 phase is then stripped of dissolved N2O5 the N2O5 being redissolved in an organic solvent. Conveniently, the N2O4 phase is chilled (at 41) to produce crystalline N2O5 which is dissolved in an organic solvent such as dichloromethane. All effluent streams may be recycled with addition only of fresh concentrated nitric acid and fresh N2O4 to make the process capable of continuous operation. <IMAGE>
