Abstract: A chemical timer for a direct-reading reagent test strip changes color a
predetermined time after a biological fluid is applied to the strip. The strip
measures the concentration of an analyte in the fluid. The timer is a dry coating
of an indicator, an enzyme-containing reagent that when hydrated can react
with glucose to change the color of the indicator, an inhibitor to inhibit the
change in color of the indicator, glucose, and optionally, an aldose that does not
react with the enzyme in the reagent. Preferably, the reagent and glucose are
present in excess in the coating, and the time it takes for the timer color to
change can be controlled by the inhibitor concentration. The aldose provides
timer stability, probably by interfering with glycosylation by the glucose in the
dry state.

Abstract: Cette invention concerne un procédé et un système photographiques permettant d'obtenir une plus grande profondeur de focale. Ce procédé permet d'améliorer la profondeur de champ lors du recours à des techniques classiques de basculement et de décalage, et d'élargir les possibilités de bonne profondeur de champ sur les autres appareils photographiques ordinaires. Ce procédé est tout d'abord destiné à des appareils photographiques électroniques dans lesquels les images sont créées électroniquement à l'aide d'un capteur situé dans ledit appareil photographique, et à partir d'une technique de photographies multiples. Plusieurs photographies sont ainsi prises en réglant la focale sur différentes parties des sujets de la scène pour chaque photographie respective. Une image de base est ensuite obtenue en intégrant des parties des différentes images. Les transferts d'images calculées, qui sont fonction du calage des lentilles/du capteur, permettent d'obtenir un point de départ afin de corriger les images, et de choisir les parties des images respectives que l'on souhaite intégrer.

Abstract: A non-contaminating flow meter having an isolation member is disclosed. The flow meter includes two pressure sensor transducers, located on opposite sides of a restriction in a conduit. Each of pressure transducers is isolated by an isolation member from exposure to fluids flowing through the conduit. The flow meter may be positioned in-line within a fluid flow circuit carrying corrosive materials, wherein the square root of the difference in pressure between the two pressure sensors is calculated to thereby determine the rate of flow within the fluid flow conduit. The flow meter compensates for changes in temperature within the fluid flow circuit and further activates an alarm if the pressure or flow rate within the fluid flow conduit exceeds or falls below a threshold level. The flow meter of the present invention also avoids the introduction of particulate, unwanted ions, or vapors into the flow circuit.

Abstract: The sensing unit (3) of a heating-type sensor is kept
at a constant high temperature by a main heater (30) and an
auxiliary heater (32). A leakage current caused by the
deterioration of an insulating board (2) is absorbed by a
guard heater. The sensing unit which can be kept at a high

insulating board or film (2) on which the main heater and
auxiliary heater are provided closely to each other are

main heater and the auxiliary heater. A bridge circuit (18)
has the auxiliary heater on its one side and has a 1st
resistor (12), a 2nd resistor (14) and a 3rd resistor (16)
on the other three sides. A heating control circuit has an
amplifier or a voltage follower (20) and an amplifier (24)
whose reverse input terminal is connected to a series
connection point between the 1st resistor and the auxiliary
heater, whose non-reverse input terminal is connected to a
series connection point between the 2nd resistor and the 3rd
resistor and whose output terminal is connected to the
control input terminal of the voltage follower. The
amplifier controls a voltage applied to the bridge circuit
and the main heater in accordance with output of the bridge
circuit. A 2nd amplifier (52) controls the voltage at a
connection point (50) to the guard heater (40) so as to be
equal to the voltage of a connection point (13) to the
auxiliary heater in accordance with the output or a 2nd

Title: Method of maintaining a network of partially replicated database system
Inventor: LIM PETER S
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 1997-03-19
Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method of maintaining a partially replicated database in such a way that updates made to a central database (11), or to another partially replicated database, are selectively propagated to the partially replicated database. Updates are propagated to a partially replicated database if the owner of the partially replicated database is deemed to have visibility to the data being updated. Visibility is determined by use of predetermined rules stored in a rules database. In one aspect of the invention, the stored rules are assessed against data content of various tables that make up a logical entity, known as a docking object (5), that is being updated. The stored rules are assessed against data content of a docking object that is not necessarily updated, but that is related to a docking object being updated. In another aspect, the visibility attributes of the related docking objects are recursively determined.

Abstract: A display makes use of circularly polarised activation light; to this end it comprises a liquid crystal cell (7) acting as a half-wave plate so as to reverse the handedness of incident light in one setting and not to affect the handedness in another, and a filter (9) such as a cholesteric mirror for passing only that part of the light from the liquid crystal that has a predetermined handedness. When the light is passed by the filter (9), it strikes a photoluminescent screen (12), causing it to emit visible light for the display. The nematic cell is easy to produce and to switch, and the display does not need polarisers.

Abstract: A rate nephelometer of the type useful in automated chemical analyzers is provided. The nephelometer includes a laser for generating a polarized laser beam having an S-wave component and a P-wave component. The beam is split by a beam splitter specially constructed so that a known proportion of one of the two polarized portions of the beam is directed to a reaction container. In the reaction container, a first polarized component of the laser beam is used in a nephelometric chemical analysis. The remainder of the laser beam passes through the beam splitter to a laser control light detector. Before the remainder of the laser beam reaches the laser control light detector, however, the polarized component which is not used in nephelometric chemical analysis is filtered out. The laser control detector uses the non-filtered portion of the laser beam to control the output of the laser.
