Filed: 2000-04-14
Abstract: Ce procédé de détection et quantification multiplexée d'analytes consiste à faire réagir ceux-ci avec des molécules sondes attachées à des supports spécifiques et identifiables. Ces supports peuvent être de différente taille, forme, couleur et composition. On attache différentes molécules sondes à différents types de supports, avant analyse. Après réaction, les supports peuvent être automatiquement analysés. L'invention supprime l'utilisation d'instruments encombrants employés pour le dépôt de molécules sondes dans des jeux ordonnés de manière géométrique. Dans l'invention, les analytes sont identifiée grâce à leur association avec le support défini, et non pas (ou non pas seulement) grâce à leur position. En outre, l'emploi de supports permet une représentation plus homogène et reproductible des molécules sondes et produits de réaction que des jeux ordonnés bidimensionnels de microdépôts ou des puces d'ADN.

Patent CA-2379839-A1 (CA)
Inventor: WAIGHT MATTHEW GLENN
IPC: H03B1/00
Filed: 2000-07-17
Abstract: An oscillator is formed using a Field-Effect Transistor (FET) in a Colpitts configuration. The circuit has a resistor from source to ground. Also connected to the source are two capacitors, one between the source and groun d while the other is from source to gate. These capacitors provide a phase- shifted feedback signal to the gate. Also connected to the gate is the varactor tank, which has a voltage variable reactance that is used to tune t he oscillation to the desired frequency. Between the drain of the FET and the supply voltage is a resistor-capacitor network. Between two series resistors  a shunt capacitor is added to minimize local oscillator leakage onto the Vdd line. The resistor network also provides impedance for the Pre-Scalar output , which is simply a connection to the drain of the FET. The pre-scalar output is used to provide a reference signal to the phase-locked loop, which generates  the correction voltage to the oscillator's VCO input. It is at the pre-scala r output that a filter network is added to reduce the base-band noise from the  Vdd line. By adding a shunt network, consisting of a small inductor and a lo w ESR capacitor, the supply noise is filtered without reducing the voltage or current supplied to the oscillator. The inductor removes the shunt capacitan ce at the oscillation frequency, avoiding any reduction in signal to the phase- locked loop circuit. The low ESR capacitor works with the resistance on-chip  between the Vdd line and the drain to reduce the low-frequency noise present  at the FET's drain. This reduction in low-frequency noise results in improve d phase noise performance without degrading any other circuit parameters.</SDO AB>

Abstract: A method of making a laminated multi-layer electrochemical cell device structure comprising positive and negative electrode layer members (12, 18) of a polymeric matrix composition, having a microporous polyolefin membrane separator member (16) therebetween, wherein the membrane includes a polymer coating layer. The separator is treated to provide a coating of a plasticizer for the polymer coating layer. The electrode and separator members are then assembled and laminated at a compressive force and temperature at which the pasticizer film softens the polymer coating of the separator member to sufficiently establish a strong interfacial bond with the matrix polymers of the electrode members, and thereby form a unitary cell structure.  Alternatively, the plasticizer is a component of the electrode polymer matrix composition. In either embodiment, the plasticizer subsequently volatilizes from the structure to further strengthen the interfacial bond.
