Abstract: In a multiplexed assay, each molecule of a plurality of molecules is attached to a support matrix particle with a substrate adapted for attachment and/or synthesis of molecules. A spectrally-encoded identifier embodied in a photochemical medium is embedded or encased within the substrate to uniquely identify the molecule attached to the substrate. The molecules are exposed to one or more processing conditions, and then placed within the path of an optical detector adapted to read the spectrally-encoded identifier and measure biochemical activity on each support matrix particle. The measured biochemical activity is associated with the unique identity of the support matrix particle and, hence, with the molecule attached to the particle.

Abstract: A two or more part dispenser is provided having an elongated flexible housing which defines an interior chamber. A disc(s) is contained within the chamber and is movable from a closed to an open position. In its closed position, the disc(s) divides the chamber into two or more subchambers, each of which contains a different liquid. A collar is slidably mounted to the housing and coaxially disposed around each disc to maintain the disc in its closed position. Upon displacement of the collar away from the disc, a finger on the collar compresses the housing an displaces the disc to its open position thus allowing the two or more liquids in the subchambers to intermix together. A dispensing nozzle assembly having an outlet is fluidly connected by a fluid passageway to the housing chamber. A normally closed valve is positioned in series with this passageway so that, when the valve is moved to its open position, liquid within the housing chamber is dispensed out through the nozzle outlet.

Abstract: Described is a method for controlling prostheses and other assistive devices using tissue whose state is influenced by the central nervous system of a user. The state of the tissue is sensed, and information from this sensing is fed into a unit (9, 10) that estimates the motor intention of the user and controls the prosthesis according to this estimate. The method comprises transmission of ultrasound signals into the tissue by use of an ultrasound transducer (6) and then reception of the ultrasound signals modulated by the tissue by use of an ultrasound transducer (7). Based on these received ultrasound signals, the motor intention of the user is estimated, and based on this mentioned estimate a number of prosthesis states are controlled.

Abstract: PCT No. PCT/EP97/00097 Sec. 371 Date Jun. 18, 1998 Sec. 102(e) Date Jun. 18, 1998 PCT Filed Jan. 10, 1997 PCT Pub. No. WO97/25456 PCT Pub. Date Jul. 17, 1997The invention relates to a method for maintaining constant concentrations of substances contained in an electrolytic treatment bath, preferably in baths with aqueous solutions. In order to regenerate the continual depletion of chemicals, substance concentrates are added to the baths according to known methods. The rapid increase in concentrations of damaging substances in the processing solution is disadvantageous. In order to reduce this build-up, a further metering method is known, namely the continuous replacement of bath solution by creating a bath overflow. The addition of bath solution with the bath concentration is balanced out by the overflow. As a consequence of evaporation and entrainment this method also leads to the fact that the operating concentration cannot be maintained for a long period of time in chemically critical baths. With the invention, this problem is resolved by continuous or intermittent removal of bath solution in a defined quantity and addition of fresh bath solution preferably in the same quantity. The changes in the concentrations of substances in the bath occurring through evaporation and entrainment are compensated for completely independently of the metering.

Abstract: Device for laying railway track. When deploying a long rail in the course of tracklaying, it is desirable that the position of the rail relative to the sleeper be controlled and corrected as required. This is achieved if the roller (1) is free to move relative to the base (7), that is, in practice, relative to either the rail and/or the roadbed. This is achieved by mounting the roller (1) in a cradle (2) which is free to pivot in a base (7), the degree of movement of the roller/cradle relative to the base being limited by twin stops (4). The invention is provided with a carrying handle (6) to facilitate its practical use.

Abstract: A process and device are disclosed for positioning devices for temporarily fixing a workpiece in any desired angular position in a three-dimensional working space of which the coordinates are known, in particular when the workpiece requires a multidimensional support A computer-controlled machine with a tool movable in the direction of all co-ordinates is used for that purpose, together with a freely movable, vertically adjustable device or supporting column mounted on a base plate and upon which the supporting device for the multidimensional support of the workpiece is positioned. Based on the tool geometry or a C.A.D. programme, a coupling or an appropriately designed measurement head of a measurement machine is fixed on the tool with respect to a calculated plane of reference for the tool and to an axis inclined in relation thereto which cuts the plane of reference. The coupling parts designed as a coupling are then brought to a position at the tool or device which corresponds to the plane of reference, either directly by means of driven coupling parts or after a previous adjustment on an adjustment device placed on the base plate. The tool or measurement head is then moved into the precalculated position in space of the support of the workpiece and a supporting column with a corresponding supporting device is aligned with the position of the tool. The disclosed process steps and the positioning systems used to implement the process enable a three-dimensional supporting surface to be provided within a few minutes for a workpiece to be measured or machined, with an accuracy of more than 0.1 mm.

Abstract: The known methods and devices, which resemble the remote access systems for answering machines, do not provide sufficient protection against copying and manipulation. With the modified method, the establishment of connections between the base station and the adapters is made dependent on a unilateral authentication process. Before making his DTMF (dual tone multi-frequency dialling) selection, the user identifies himself with respect to the base station using coded data which comprise a "key" and a "secret" and are tested there for conformity with stored data concerning authorized persons. If conformity exists, readiness for connection to an adapter is acknowledged by means of a first ready signal. It is only then that, in a similarly coded manner, the adapter and type of actuation, which are acknowledged by status signals or a further ready signal, are selected. The method even enables critical functions with greater demands as concerns security to be remotely controlled via the public telephone network, for which dedicated lines would otherwise be necessary.

Abstract: An apparatus for baking thin-walled shaped bodies has a baking shaft defining adjacent up and down paths and a respective stack of pairs of cavity-forming baking plates in the shaft at each of the paths. A heater in the shaft heats the stacks between upper and lower ends thereof. A lower transporter conveys plates from the lower end of the down-path stack to the lower end of the up-path stack and an upper transporter conveys plates from the upper end of the up-path stack to the upper end of the down-path stack. Upper and lower fillers and strippers above the respective upper and lower transporter deposit a bakable preproduct on the plates and for removing a baked product from the plates. The plates are transferred from the downstream end of the lower transporter to the lower end of the up stack which is thus stepped upward, and are transferred from the lower end of the down stack to the upstream end of the lower transporter to step the down stack downward.
