Abstract: Polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies which are cross-reactive to both coagulase-positive staphylococcus bacteria, such as S. hemolyticus, are provided which can recognize surface proteins from both coagulase-positive and coagulase negative staph bacteria. The antibodies may be generated from surface proteins that have been isolated on the basis of characteristics that may be common between S. aureus and coagulase-negative staphylococci, and these recombinant surface proteins are used to generate the antibodies of the invention. There is also provided vaccines and methods which utilize these proteins and antibodies for the treatment or protection against a wide variety of staphylococcal infections.

Abstract: It is an object of the invention is to provide an optical reflector having a directivity of reflection and a display device using it. Depressions of a projection/depression forming member (46) is relatively spread in the right-and-left direction of a display surface. The depressions of the member (46) are provided in such a manner that their average diameter in the right-and-left direction of the display surface is larger than that in the up-and-down direction of the display surface and their average pitch in the right-and-left direction of the display surface is greater than that in the up-and-down direction of the display surface. When a light enters into a surface of a reflective film (48), the light is reflected in the up-and-down direction more selectively. Therefore, with an observation of the display surface from a predetermined direction, a utilization efficiency of the incident light can be enhanced, so that display performance of the display device such as a brightness and a contrast can be improved.

Inventor: RAO VALLURI
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 2002-09-05
Abstract: The methods, compositions and apparatus disclosed herein are of use for nucleic acid sequence determination. The methods involve isolation of one or more nucleic acid template molecules and polymerization of a nascent complementary strand of nucleic acid, using a DNA or RNA polymerase or similar synthetic reagent. As the nascent strand is extended one nucleotide at a time, the disappearance of nucleotide precursors from solution is monitored by Raman spectroscopy or FRET. The nucleic acid sequence of the nascent strand, and the complementary sequence of the template strand, may be determined by tracking the order of incorporation of nucleotide precursors during the polymerization reaction. Certain embodiments concern apparatus comprising a reaction chamber and detection unit, of use in practicing the claimed methods. The methods, compositions and apparatus are of use in sequencing very long nucleic acid templates in a single sequencing reaction.

Abstract: In a disclosed method, a piezoelectric element 1 has an
asymmetrical hysteresis characteristic of polarization-electric
field different in absolute values between a coercive
field of positive electric side and a coercive field of negative
electric field side, and is polarized in the film thickness
direction of the piezoelectric element 1 and in a direction of
smaller absolute value of the coercive field, and as a position
control voltage Q1 for position control by ditorting the
piezoelectric element 1 in a direction orthogonal to the film
thickness direction of the piezoelectric element 1, a voltage
equivalent to an electric field of 0.4 or less of the coercive
field value is applied in the film thickness direction of the
piezoelectric element 1 in a direction of larger absolute value
of the coercive field. Further, a position control voltage Q2
for recovering from deterioration of polarization of the
piezoelectric element 1 is applied by superposing on the position
control voltage Q1, or changing over with the position control
voltage Q1, or while the position control voltage Q1 is not
applied, and therefore recovering from deterioration of
polarization characteristic, the displacement characteristic
is stabilized for a long period of time.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé d'utilisation d'un objet tubulaire coudé dans un fichier de dessin. Ce procédé consiste à entrer un objet tubulaire coudé et à l'utiliser de façon à générer des données de commande de cintreuse. En particulier, l'étape d'introduction de l'objet tubulaire coudé personnalisé dans un fichier de dessin consiste à entrer un conduit multi-segmenté dans le fichier de données et à générer l'objet tubulaire coudé personnalisé en fonction, au moins en partie, des longueur et des angles entre les segments de tube multi-segmenté. Plus particulièrement, l'étape d'introduction de l'objet tubulaire coudé consiste en outre à sélectionner un type de tube (p.ex. d'un diamètre particulier ou constitué d'un matériau particulier) et l'étape de génération de l'objet tubulaire coudé consiste à extraire les données d'objet tubulaire coudé du fichier de données d'objet en fonction, au moins en partie, du type de tube. Eventuellement, l'extraction de données d'objet tubulaire coudé se fait en fonction d'un type particulier de cintreuse de tubes. De nouveaux systèmes d'utilisation d'un objet tubulaire coudé dans un fichier de dessin sont également décrits. Un système comprend un gestionnaire d'objets qui réagit à la saisie d'un utilisateur et pouvant générer un objet tubulaire coudé ; et un moteur de dessin qui réagit à un gestionnaire de dessin et qui peut entrer l'objet tubulaire coudé dans un fichier de dessin. Dans un mode de réalisation particulier, le gestionnaire d'objets réagit en outre à un type de tuyau sélectionné par un utilisateur en générant l'objet tubulaire coudé. Le gestionnaire d'objet extrait les données d'objet tubulaire coudé en fonction, au moins en partie, du type de tube sélectionné. Le type de tube sélectionné dépend éventuellement d'un diamètre désiré du tube. Un module d'extraction peut générer/extraire des données de commande de cintreuse de l'objet tubulaire coudé personnalisé. Eventuellement un convertisseur de données, qui réagit à des indices d'un type de cintreuse transforme les données de commande de cintreuse d'un premier type de cintreuse en des données de pilote de commande pour un second type de cintreuse.
