Abstract: The invention describes novel methods for calibrating or standardizing flow cytometry instruments using synthetic polymer particles or beads having physical properties which provide advantages for their use in such instruments. The polymer particles or beads employed in the calibration methods are spherical, have an average particle diameter of from about 1 to about 8 microns, a relatively narrow particle distribution and a low refractive index, i.e., from about 1.35 to about 1.45. The particles are safe, stable for long time periods and are particularly suitable for employment as hematology analyzer calibration substances. The invention provides an advantageous improvement over the types of standards currently used to calibrate a variety of instruments that rely on light scatter combined with other parameters to identify and measure biological particles or cells, as well as nonbiological particles. In particular, using the calibration/standardization method and polymer particles according to the present invention allows hematology instruments to be calibrated and standardized for subsequent accurate and reliable determinations of red blood cells, reticulocytes, white blood cells and platelets in whole blood samples. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The arrangement has at least one disc stack and associated magazine with parallel threaded spindles arranged about the circumference of the discs and extending over the entire stack length so that the disc edges sit loosely in the thread paths. The discs are moved along the stack axis by spindle rotation to a desired position in which they are extracted by a manipulator and transported to a defined position. For a single stack design the spindles have a greater pitch and thread depth in a central region for a constant core dia. than in the input and output regions. For multi-stack arrangements the opposite applies, but in both cases the peak dia. is matched to the pitch.

Abstract: A continuous method manufactures a laminated electrolyte and electrode assembly ("laminated assembly") comprising at least one pre-formed electrode layer, at least one catalyst layer and at least one electrolyte layer for an electrochemical cell. The method comprises forming at least one of the catalyst or electrolyte layers in situ and using it as a laminating medium. The method produces a laminated assembly in a continuous sheet, which may be later cut to size and shape for use in electrochemical cells. The method may comprise co-extruding granular catalyst and/or electrolyte materials. In one embodiment, the catalyst and electrolyte layers are co-extruded. The co-extruded tri-layer extrusion is laminated with immediately adjacent pre-formed electrode layers. In another embodiment the catalyst layer is extruded and the catalyst layer acts as the laminating medium between immediately adjacent pre-formed electrode and electrolyte layers. In a further embodiment the catalyst layers are applied to two separate pre-formed electrode layers, and the catalyst coated electrode layers are laminated with an electrolyte layer formed in situ which serves as the laminating medium.

Abstract: A system for inserting commercials into an audiovisual bit stream by providing cue commands in response to cue tones in a pre-existing analog signal, and/or in response to control signals from an uplink (/programmer/network) site or headend (/affiliate). Firmware upgrades are provided to a digital encoder to facilitate generating spliceable bit streams and generation of cue_commands. This enables commercial insertion at an uplink site (/programmer/network) as well as at a cable television headend (/affiliate). The system provides functional compatibility between a digital bit stream and the analog cue tones. The cue commands are preferably carried in the transport layer of the bit stream so there is no need to decode and process several layers of the bit stream. Accordingly, a new commercial insertion capability can be added to existing uplink and headend equipment in a backward compatible manner minimizing upgrade-related expenses, yet allowing different splicing techniques to be employed depending on cost-performance tradeoffs in terms of desired post-splicing audiovisual quality.

Abstract: A method of passivating the interior surface of a gas storage vessel to protect the surface against corrosion. The interior surface of the vessel is first dehydrated and then evacuated. A silicon hydride gas is introduced into the vessel. The vessel and silicon hydride gas contained therein are heated and pressurized to decompose the gas. A layer of silicon is deposited on the interior surface of the vessel. The duration of the silicon depositing step is controlled to prevent the formation of silicon dust in the vessel. The vessel is then purged with an inert gas to remove the silicon hydride gas. The vessel is cycled through the silicon depositing step until the entire interior surface of the vessel is covered with a layer of silicon. The vessel is then evacuated and cooled to room temperature.
