Patent CA-2589750-A1 (CA)
Inventor: NAMATAME ICHIJI
IPC: G01N33/68
Filed: 2005-12-06
Abstract: A method of separating a protein by the gel electrophoresis, which comprises the staining step of contacting a liquid staining agent containing a staining agent and a surfactant in a buffer solution with a sample containing the protein, and the electrophoresis step of electrophoresing in a gel the protein-containing sample having been stained in the above step. According to this method, a protein-containing sample can be stained within a short period of time by using a liquid staining agent containing a surfactant such as SDS and the color development can be achieved at a high sensitivity. Moreover, the excessive staining agent migrates before the protein in the electrophoresis, which makes it unnecessary to employ any washing operation. It is also possible that a sample is stained with a staining agent containing a surfactant such as SDS after the one-dimensional electrophoresis and then immediately subjected to the two-dimensional electrophoresis. Thus, the number of steps can be reduced compared with the existing protein separation methods and the separation procedure can be simplified. Namely, a method of conveniently and quickly separating a protein by the electrophoresis can be provided.

Abstract: Optimal code sequences are generated for use in spreading and de-spreading functions in a code division multiple access (CDMA) communications system. In particular, a family of quadriphase spreading codes is employed that provides a maximal number of spreading codes to achieve a high capacity in the CDMA  communications system while at the same time having a minimal peak cross-correlation between any two spreading codes within that family to ensure cross-correlation interference is kept at or below acceptable levels. That optimal quadriphase spreading code family is the S(2) family of four phase code sequences of length L = 2m-1 where m is an integer greater than or equal to 5. The size of the S(2) family of quaternary spreading codes is (L  + 2)(L + 1)2, and the maximum cross-correlation is 1 + 4.sqroot.(L +1). The spreading codes are preferably allocated to base stations using specific code subsets of the S(2) family having the same cross-correlation properties of the S(O) and/or S(1) family of codes.  Spreading codes are advantageously extended by one or more code symbols as necessary or otherwise desirable. For example, to support variable transmission rate services, it is desirable to employ spreading codes whose length may be expressed as an integer multiple of each spreading factor in the mobile communications system. Since individual spreading codes have a length of 2m-1, one code symbol is added to the generated spreading code.
