Abstract: The present invention provides a method for enzymatically producing uridine 5'-diphospho-N-acetylgalactosamine (UDP-GalNAc) (which is an important substrate for oligosaccharide synthesis) from uridine 5'-triphosphate (UTP) and N-acetylgalactosamine 1-phosphate (GalNAc 1-P), the method including using, as an enzyme, uridine 5'-diphospho-N-acetylglucosamine pyrophosphorylase (UDP-GlcNAc pyrophosphorylase) derived from a microorganism (exclusive of a pathogenic microorganism). The GalNAc 1-P employed can be prepared from N-acetylgalactosamine and a phosphate donor in a reaction system by use of N-acetylgalactosamine kinase. According to the present invention, uridine 5'-diphospho-N-acetylgalactosamine can be efficiently produced by use of a relatively inexpensive substrate.

Abstract: A method and system for automatically evaluating quality of a slide-mounted tissue sample includes receiving a digital image of a magnified portion of the slide- mounted tissue sample. At least one quantitative quality indicator is automatically determined for at least one of the samples, and the digital image of the magnified portion of the sample. Each of the quantitative quality indicators is automatically compared to a respective minimum acceptable quality threshold. The quantitative quality indicators and associated quality thresholds are selected for suitability with an automated quantitative immunoassay. Failure of one or more of the quantitative quality indicators to meet its respective minimum acceptable quality threshold suggests that the sample is unsuitable for subsequent automated pathological evaluation. Results can be examined at a user interface allowing for user inspection of samples determined to be unsuitable, the user interface also having provisions for manual override of the determination.

Granted: 2014-07-29
Abstract: The invention concerns a biometric system provided with a set of reference biometric data (B'i) resulting from the application of a disjunction between a first set of biometric data (Bi) and a first encoded key (Ki), and from an information concerning the first key. A second set of biometric data (B2) is obtained. A second encoded key is determined by using a disjunction between the set of reference biometric data and the second set of biometric data. The second key is decoded by iterative decoding. Then, it is determined whether the first and second sets of biometric data mutually correspond by comparing the information concerning the first key with the second key. The first and second sets of biometric data are expressed in a multidimensional repository with N dimensions, the biometric data according to at least one of the N dimensions being obtained by using processes relative to the biometric part; and the first encoded key is obtained by using an encoding transforming an initial word of specific length into an encoded word in the multidimensional repository.
