Patent CA-2566040-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SPINKE JUERGEN
IPC: G01N33/543
Filed: 2005-05-10
Abstract: The invention concerns a method for increasing the dynamic measuring range of especially immunological test elements in particular immunological chromatography test strips that can be evaluated optically that are based on specific binding reactions. The invention enables the dynamic measuring range of test elements based on specific binding reagents, especially of immunological test elements to be shifted towards higher analyte concentrations without impairing the lower detection limit. For this purpose it is proposed according to the invention that at least two zones are provided in or on the test element which contain reagents that generate detectable signals of different strengths due to different affinities for the analyte (for example in the case of antibodies that have different affinities for the analyte) or due to different principles of interaction with the analyte or with other reagents involved in the analyte detection (for example antibodies directed against the analyte in one zone and an analyte analogue in another zone). The signals in the at least two zones are used to evaluate the analyte concentration-signal strength relationship and are used to determine the analyte by means of a suitable method (correlation).

Abstract: A beer keg (22) for storing a beer (52) under pressure has an outer wall and a pressure relief passageway (100) extending through an outer wall of the beer keg. The beer keg has a bursting disk seated in the passageway normally closing the passageway. The disk (104) is adapted to rupture permitting fluid to escape from the beer keg through the passageway when the pressure in the beer keg exceeds a predetermined pressure value. The keg has a releasable cap (106) mounted thereto that covers the passageway. The releasable cap has vent openings (110) that permit the escape of fluid from the passageway. The cap is releasable to permit access to the passageway for changing the bursting disk.  Preferably, a pressure build up in the keg in excess of about 7 bar results in the bursting disk rupturing.

Title: Catalytic plant and process for performing fischer-tropsch synthesis
Inventor: BOWE MICHAEL JOSEPH
IPC: B01J19/00
Filed: 2005-05-24
Abstract: Fischer-Tropsch synthesis is performed on a CO/H*2 feed gas using a plurality of compact catalytic reactor modules (12) each defining catalytic reaction channels and coolant channels, in two successive stages, with the same number of reactor modules for each stage. The gas flow velocity in the first stage is sufficiently high that no more than 75% of the CO undergoes conversion. The gases are cooled (16) between successive stages so as to remove water vapour, and the pressure is reduced (20) before they are subjected to the second stage. In addition the reaction temperature for the second stage is lower than for the first stage, such that no more than 75% of the remaining carbon monoxide undergoes conversion during the second stage too. The deleterious effect of water vapour on the catalyst is hence suppressed, while the overall capacity of the plant (10) can be adjusted by closing off modules in each stage while keeping the numbers equal.

Title: Signal acquisition in a wireless communication system
Inventor: AGRAWAL AVNEESH
IPC: H04L27/26
Filed: 2005-06-14
Abstract: Each base station transmits a TDM pilot 1 having multiple instances of a pilot-1 sequence generated with a PN1 sequence and a TDM pilot 2 having at least one instance of a pilot-2 sequence generated with a PN2 sequence. Each base station is assigned a specific PN2 sequence that uniquely identifies that base station. A terminal uses TDM pilot 1 to detect for the presence of a signal and uses TDM pilot 2 to identify base stations and obtain accurate timing. For signal detection, the terminal performs delayed correlation on received samples and determines whether a signal is present. If a signal is detected, the terminal performs direct correlation on the received samples with PN1 sequences for K1 different time offsets and identifies K2 strongest TDM  pilot 1 instances. For time synchronization, the terminal performs direct correlation on the received samples with PN2 sequences to detect for TDM pilot 2.
