Abstract: PCT No. PCT/EP96/01966 Sec. 371 Date Feb. 19, 1998 Sec. 102(e) Date Feb. 19, 1998 PCT Filed May 9, 1996 PCT Pub. No. WO96/36021 PCT Pub. Date Nov. 14, 1996An apparatus for testing sheet material includes an illumination device which illuminates the sheet material continually and in the total spectral region to be tested, and a receiving device having at least two linear parallel CCD arrays. A filter transmitting a certain spectral region is mounted on each CCD array. The individual filters are selected so that at least one transmits in the visible spectral region and one in the invisible spectral region. For detection of the light diffusely reflected or transmitted by the sheet material, the individual CCD arrays produce electric signals from the received light which are then processed in an evaluation device and compared with reference data for testing the sheet material.

Granted: 2008-06-18
Abstract: A method for quick-opening a set of rolls in a calender, in particular a supercalender, in which a paper or board web to be calendered is passed through calendering nips formed by a variable-crown top roll, a variable-crown bottom roll and by two or more intermediate rolls arranged between the top and bottom rolls. The rolls are arranged to form a substantially vertical stack of rolls, and the intermediate rolls are supported by the use of hydraulic relief cylinders so as to relieve the nip load produced by the mass of the bearing housings of the intermediate rolls and auxiliary devices associated therewith. During the quick-opening of the set of rolls, the bottom roll of the set of rolls is lowered and the relief pressures in the hydraulic relief cylinders are discharged so as to open the calendering nips. The hydraulic oil flowing out from the relief cylinders is controlled by valves connected to the relief cylinders of each intermediate roll so that, during quick-opening of the set of rolls, the roll nips may be opened in a controlled manner in a desired order. A hydraulic system for the set of rolls is also disclosed.

Abstract: A method and apparatus provides for efficient data rate control and power control processes by transmitting a primary and a secondary pilot channel associated with a data channel in the reverse (uplink) link. The primary and secondary pilot channels are used for decoding the data. A ratio of power levels of the primary and secondary pilot channels is based on at least one of the data rate and payload size of the data channel. It is determined whether the transmission of the primary pilot channel and the secondary pilot channel associated with the data channel is necessary based on comparing one of the data rate and the payload size of the channel in the reverse link to a predetermined value. The power level of the primary pilot channel is maintained independent of at least one of data rate and payload size of the data channel. The power level of the secondary pilot channel may be adjusted based on at least one of data rate and payload size of the data channel.

Title: Rapid sample collection and analysis device and methods of use
Inventor: TUNG HSIAOHO EDWARD
IPC: A61M1/00
Filed: 2004-11-15
Granted: 2010-03-25
Abstract: The present invention is directed to devices and methods for determining the presence of analyte in a fluid sample. The devices utilize a sample collection well, an expression plate for expressing sample into the sample collection well, a plunger that drives a lance, and a test compartment containing test elements. The devices also preserve an aliquot of fluid sample in a reservoir for later confirmation testing. When the plunger is lowered into the sample collection well, a lance on the device punctures a frangible material that covers a sample outlet. When the sample outlet is thus opened, fluid sample flows from the sample collection cup to the test compartment. In one embodiment the plunger is lowered as a cap is applied to the device. The devices are useful for detecting the presence of analyte in a wide variety of fluid samples, such as saliva, oral fluids, and more. The invention also provides methods of using the devices, and kits containing the devices.

Title: Method to optimize analyte and antibody substrate binding by least energy adsorption
Inventor: RICKS CLAUDE
IPC: G01N33/53
Filed: 2005-07-20
Granted: 2011-01-27
Abstract: The present invention provides a method of making an assay device for conducting an assay to detect a concentration of an analyte in a sample fluid. The assay devices would typically have a substantially planar surface having a series of site specific immobilized calibration spot arrays containing pre-determined quantities of the analyte printed thereon. In addition, a series of site specific immobilized test spot arrays, including capture antibody for binding the analyte protein is printed on the assay device. The method involves first modifying the planar surface to provide hydrophobic binding sites, hydrophilic linking and covalent bonding sites. Then the method requires printing the series of site specific immobilized test spot arrays and the series of site specific immobilized calibration spot arrays on the substantially planar surface. Applying the sample fluid to the assay device is the next step followed by testing a sensitivity of the assay and modulating ratios of the hydrophobic, hydrophilic and covalent binding sites in order to optimize the sensitivity of the assay.
