Title: Thermal imaging cameras
Inventor: BARRON DONALD ROBERT
IPC: A61K6/06
Filed: 2002-01-30
Abstract: A modular hyperspectral thermal camera that combines a wide field-of-view with a low erroneous recognition rate is described. The modular hyperspectral thermal camera provides such low erroneous recognition rates without any requirement for cryogenically cooling the associated optical components. The modular nature of the hyperspectral thermal camera permits easy exchange of the optical components and so provides a device that is easily calibrated and varied in resolution. In addition the modular nature allows the hyperspectral thermal camera to be readily converted to a broad band thermal camera, a full field spectrograph or a thermal bandpass filter camera, as required.

Filed: 2002-04-17
Abstract: A logic element for a programmable logic device (PLD) can be configured as a shift register of variable length. An array of memory cells in the logic element is divided into two or more portions. The memory cells of each portion supply values to a corresponding output multiplexing circuit, thereby enabling the logic element to functions as a lookup table by combining the outputs of the multiplexing circuits. However, each portion is also configurable as a shift register. The portions can function as a separate shift registers, or can be concatenated to function as a single shift register. In some embodiments, the portions can also be concatenated with shift registers in other logic elements. Because two or more output multiplexing circuits are available, two or more taps are provided, one from each portion of the memory array.

Title: Method for quantitative video-microscopy and associated system and computer software program product
Inventor: GAHM THOMAS
IPC: G06K9/00
Filed: 2002-09-18
Abstract: A method of determining an amount of at least one molecular specie comprisin g a sample is provided, each molecular specie being indicated by a dye. The amount of the molecular specie is determined from an image of the sample captured as image data by a color image acquisition device in a video- microscopy system. An optical density of the sample is first determined in each of a red, green, and blue channel at a particular pixel in the image. A corresponding optical density matrix is thereafter formed for that pixel. Th e optical density matrix is then multiplied by the inverse of a relative absorption coefficient matrix so as to form a resultant matrix for the pixel . The relative absorption coefficient matrix comprises a relative absorption coefficient for each dye, independently of the sample, in each of the red, green, and blue channels. The resultant matrix thus comprises the amount of each molecular specie, as indicated by the respective dye, for that pixel. Associated systems and computer software program products are also provided.

Title: Method for selective conjugation of analytes to enzymes without unwanted enzyme-enzyme cross-linking
Inventor: LOMBARDI VINCENT C
IPC: G01N33/535
Filed: 2002-11-15
Abstract: The present invention provides a simple and efficient method of preparing an analyte-enzyme conjugate where the enzyme contains free, surface-accessible carboxyl moieties without generating undesired, cross-linked enzymes, while preserving the functionality of the enzyme. The method involves treating an enzyme with a blocking agent such that the free carboxyl moieties become non - reactive prior to the conjugation reaction with the desired analyte. The yie ld of the analyte-enzyme conjugate and the purity of the conjugates formed are high since cross-linking of the blocked enzymes is minimized or prevented. T he invention is generally useful in preparing any conjugates of an analyte of interest and an enzyme containing surface accessible carboxyl moieties. The invention is particularly useful in preparing conjugates of any analyte of interest and horseradish peroxidase, alkaline phosphatase or acetylcholine esterase. The conjugates prepared according to the invention are useful in a variety of assays including but not limited to enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), immunohistochemistry, and the like. The invention is further directed to analyte-enzyme conjugates prepared by the inventive method and t o kits which contain an analyte-enzyme conjugate prepared by the methods herei n for the detection and/or quantitation of an analyte in a sample.
