Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus for performing chemical assays in an aqueous medium. The apparatus contains a reaction chamber(s) and a liquid in-flow channel connected to each chamber. The flow of liquid through the fluid in-flow channel to the reaction chamber is controlled by the presence of a hydrophobic inner surface on the walls of the in-flow channel. Under normal conditions fluid will not flow through the channel. However, application of an external force pushes the liquid through said channel into the reaction chamber. The invention is applicable to the monitoring of many different molecular interactions, in particular molecular recognition between an immobilised affinity partner and a species in solution, such as immunoglobulin/antigen interaction, DNA hybridisation, haptamer-protein interaction, drug and virus detection, high throughput screening of synthetic molecules and for determining the concentration and reaction kinetics of target species.

Abstract: A method of forming a low closure force gasket having alternating high and low contact points. The gasket is formed-in-place (FIP) on a surface of a substrate as a bead of a curable elastomeric composition which is issued under an applied pressure from the orifice of a nozzle. The is nozzle is movable relative to the surface of the substrate along at least a first axis disposed generally parallel to the substrate surface, and, optionally, along a second axis disposed generally perpendicular to the substrate surface. The nozzle is moved at a predetermined speed along the first axis, and, optionally, along the second axis to apply the bead along a given path on the substrate. One or more of the applied pressure, the speed of movement of the nozzle along the first axis of step, and the movement of the nozzle along the second axis are controlled to apply the bead in a periodic series of alternating high and low intervals relative to the substrate surface. The elastomeric composition then is cured under substantially atmospheric pressure to form the gasket on the substrate surface, with the high intervals of the bead defining the high contact points of the gasket, and with the low intervals of the bead defining the low contact portions of the gasket.

Abstract: Novel metabolites and enzymes involved in skatole metabolism are disclosed. The novel metabolites are 3-OH-3-methylindolenine (HMI); 3-methyloxindole (3MOI); indole-3-carbinol (I-3C); and 2-aminoacetophenone (2-AM). Measuring levels of these metabolites in a pig may be useful in identifying the pig's ability to metabolize skatole and its susceptibility to boar taint. The novel enzymes involved in skatole metabolism are aldehyde oxidase and CYP2A6. Enhancing the activity of these enzymes may be useful in enhancing skatole metabolism and reducing boar taint. The identification of the enzyme also allows the development of screening assays for substances that interact with these enzymes and skatole metabolism or for genetic screening to identify pigs on the basis of their skatole metabolism. Pigs having high levels of these enzymes may be selected and bred to produce pigs that have a lower incidence of boar taint.

Abstract: A reactive ion beam etching method which employs an oxidizing agent in a plasma contained in an ion source to control carbonaceous deposit (e.g., polymer) formation within the ion source and on the substrate. During operation of an ion source, after operating the ion source with a plasma having a carbonaceous deposit forming species, a plasma containing an oxidizing agent (species) is generated within the ion source. Preferably, within the ion source a plasma is maintained essentially continuously between the time that the carbonaceous deposit forming species is present and the time that the oxidizing agent is present. A reactive ion beam extracted from an ion source containing a plasma having an oxidizing species may be impinged onto a sample substrate to remove (i.e., etch) any carbonaceous material deposits (e.g., polymers) formed on the sample, such as may be formed from previous reactive ion beam etching (RIBE) processing steps using an ion beam having species which may form carbonaceous (e.g., polymer) deposits on the sample substrate structure. Preferably, a reactive ion beam containing an oxidizing species is incident upon the sample at an angle which enhances the selectivity of the carbonaceous deposit (e.g., polymer) etching relative to other materials upon which the ion beam impinges. A thin film magnetic head is fabricated according to a pole trimming process which employs RIBE with an oxidizing species to remove any carbonaceous material (e.g., polymer) deposits formed during a previous fluorocarbon based RIBE step.

Abstract: The present invention, generally speaking, incorporates the power amplifier as a fundamental constituent of a modulator, using polar modulation techniques. Thus, it is possible to achieve the combination of precision signal generation (including envelope variations) along with high energy efficiency in combinations not possible heretofore. In accordance with one embodiment of the invention, a modulated radio (passband) signal generator produces high quality signals of general type, which specifically includes signals with varying envelopes. Signals are generated with high energy efficiency in the conversion of applied DC power to output RF signal power. The result is longer battery life for products such as mobile phone handsets. Dramatically improved efficiency also allows for a dramatic reduction (10 to 1 or greater) in the size of any required heatsink for the radio transmitter, which significantly lowers both cost and size. Furthermore, continuous operation of these radio transmitters is made possible with small temperature rises using small heatsinks, or even without any heatsink components. This provides for high operating reliability, as well as for greater throughput due to the longer operating time allowed. Another aspect of the invention allows the generation of high quality signals with wide bandwidth, without the need for continuous feedback during operation. This further reduces costs by greatly simplifying the design, manufacturing, and complexity of the transmitter circuitry.
