Abstract: De l'ADN simple brin a été immobilisé sur une électrode recouverte d'une pellicule d'alcanebisphosphonate d'aluminium par immersion de cette électrode dans une solution d'ADN simple brin. Cet ADN simple brin immobilisé, marqué par Ru(bpy)¿3??2+¿, a été détecté par surveillance de la luminescence électrophotochimique (ECL) produite suite à l'oxydation dans une solution contenant de la tri-n-propylamine. Après l'immobilisation d'ADN simple brin non marqué, un brin d'ADN complémentaire marqué a été hybridé pour produire de l'ADN double brin sur la surface. L'étendue de l'hybridation d'ADN a été déterminée par la luminescence ECL de Ru(bpy)¿3??2+¿ marqué. L'ADN double brin immobilisé sur une surface pourrait également être détecté par observation de la luminescence ECL de Ru(phen)¿3??2+¿. La microscopie électronique à transmission (TEM) a été utilisée pour obtenir une image de la pellicule et de l'ADN immobilisé.

Inventor: YANO NOBUYOSHI
IPC: G08B13/24
Filed: 1997-02-28
Abstract: A magnetic element comprising a first thin film and a second thin film having a coercive force that is greater than the  coercive  force  of  the  first  thin  film  formed  on  a substrate.  The magnetic element exhibits a continuous magnetic reversal under an applied alternating magnetic field having a magnitude that is smaller than the coercive force of the second thin film to cause said first thin film to undergo magnetic reversal.  The magnetic element also exhibits a discontinuous sudden magnetic reversal under an applied alternating magnetic field having a magnitude that is greater than the coercive force of the second thin film.   The configuration of the magnetic  element  has   little  effect  on  discontinuous magnetization response.   Thus the magnetic element exhibits good magnetic characteristics even when formed in a small size.

Title: Bilayer stabilizing components and their use in forming programmable fusogenic liposomes
Inventor: MADDEN THOMAS D
IPC: B01J13/02
Filed: 1995-10-02
Abstract: The present invention provides a fusogenic liposome comprising a lipid capable of adopting a non-lamellar phase, yet capable of assuming a bilayer structure in the presence of a bilayer stabilizing component; and a bilayer stabilizing component reversibly associated with the lipid to stabilize the lipid in a bilayer structure. Such fusogenic liposomes are extremely advantageous because the rate at which they become fusogenic can be not only predetermined, but varied as required over a time scale ranging from minutes to days. Control of liposome fusion can be achieved by modulating the chemical stability and/or exchangeability of the bilayer stabilizing component(s). The fusogenic liposomes of the present invention can be used to deliver drugs, peptide, proteins, RNA, DNA or other bioactive molecules to the target cells of interest.

Patent CA-2227215-A1 (CA)
Inventor: ANDERSON THOMAS B
IPC: C10G5/04
Filed: 1997-05-20
Abstract: Apparatus for recovering volatile organic compounds (VOC) from VOC/inert gas mixtures leaving tanker holds during crude oil loading comprises an absorption column (12) in which incoming VOC is absorbed into cold kerosene, a portion of the VOC rich kerosene leaving the absorption column being cooled in a cooler (88) and returned to the absorption column to contact incoming VOC/inert gas mixture and absorb further VOC. The remainder of the rich kerosene leaving the absorption column (12) passes to a buffer tank (34) where it is held. It is then pumped to an elevated pressure distillatin (stripper) column (46), where VOC is separated from the kerosene by conventional rectification. VOC vapour leaving the top of the distillation column is condensed in condenser (72) and held in the VOC reflux tank (76). Liquid VOC from the reflux tank is passed to a crude oil pipeline (82) or to a storage vessel; a portion of the liquid VOC from the reflux tank enters the top of the distillation column to act as reflux. Kerosene leaves the bottom of the distillation column (46) and passes to a storage tank (60) where it is held. From there, it passes through a cooler (66) to the absorption column, to absorb further VOC from incoming VOC/inert gas mixture. The coolers for this lean kerosene and for the rich kerosene which re-enters the absorption column are preferably cooled by the same refrigeration system (68). The buffer and storage tanks are of such a size that the elevated pressure distillation column can run continuously, supplied with VOC rich kerosene from the buffer tank and supplying VOC lean kerosene to the storage tank.
