Title: Use of pectin for immobilisation, stabilisation and preservation in bioanalytical systems
Inventor: WHITE STEPHEN
IPC: C12Q1/00
Filed: 1998-05-27
Abstract: The success of bioanalytical systems, such as biosensors, relies on the stability of molecular components such as enzymes. Pectin is used for the immobilisation, stabilisation and preservation of the molecular components used in such systems. The use of pectin in screen-printed, amperometric enzyme biosensors is described, the pectin being an effective base for screen-printing pastes.

Patent GB-2331679-A (GB)
Title: Providing congestion control in a data communication network
Inventor: JEFFRIES CLARK D
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 1998-08-10
Abstract: A bin packing algorithm is employed to schedule computer network activities, such as pause times required for operation of an Ethernet network which implements existing IEEE 802.3x standards. In such a network, any node (42) in the network can control the flow of traffic from upstream stations in order to avoid congestion at the flow-controlling node. Upon sensing congestion (58), the flow-controlling node determines (60) how long each upstream node contributing to the congestion should pause transmission over the next control interval. The pause times are scheduled or staggered (62) by using the bin packing algorithm to sort the sources into one or more bins. One required bin property is that there is no overlap in pause times for the sources within a particular bin. Another required bin property is that the sum of the pause times within a bin can be no greater than the length of the control interval. In a preferred embodiment, the calculated pause times are separated into different groups having different number ranges and no more than one pause time is selected from any particular group for packing into a given bin.

Title: Edge grinding disc shaped workpieces
Inventor: STOCKER MARK ANDREW
IPC: B24B1/00
Filed: 1999-07-03
Abstract: A first method of positioning a grooved grinding wheel for edge grinding wafers utilises a series of the following steps performed on a wafer: grinding, measuring the profile of the wafer's rim, adjusting the axial position of the grinding wheel; until an axial position is reached which gives a satisfactory rim profile and using the grinding wheel in this axial position for grinding other wafers. A second method of positioning a grooved grinding wheel 32 for edge grinding wafers involves grinding small arcs 22, 24, 26 and 28 in a wafer's rim 16, the axial position of the grinding wheel 32 being adjusted between each grind, and making future grinds using the grinding wheel 32 at its axial position which gave the best profile. This method can also be adapted to condition a grinding wheel 32. Also disclosed are methods and apparatus using a spark erosion electrode (56, Fig. 3; 62, Fig. 4) for conditioning both grooved grinding wheels (32 and 48, Fig. 3) and a wheel (58, Fig. 4) for forming grooves in grinding wheels.

Title: Valves for self-inflating cushion.
Inventor: HAYES MARTIN
IPC: B60N2/90
Filed: 1999-10-28
Abstract: A self-inflating cushion comprises a foam core enclosed in an airtight envelope. The airtight envelope is provided with air inlet/outlet valve 4 at a first location and an equalisation valve 6 at a second location.

Title: Magnetic holder for workpieces
IPC: B23Q3/154
Filed: 1980-08-25
Abstract: A magnetic chuck or holder for workpieces adapted to be mounted on a worktable of a machine tool comprises a stack of alternating permanent magnets and magnetically conducting plates having a central passage through the stack in which a second stack of magnets and magnetically conductive plates is received for longitudinal movement, e.g. by a crank or an eccentric drive cooperating with one end of the second step. The two stacks are so arranged that they magnetically cancel the magnetic field lines on the upper, lateral and bottom surfaces of the chuck in one position of the second stack but create such field lines in a second position that all surfaces of the upper, lower and lateral surfaces are magnetically effective. This allows switching of the chuck to an effective state so that a workpiece is affixed magnetically to the upper surface of either or both lateral surfaces, and at the same time the chuck is magnetically fixed on the worktable of the machine tool.
