Title: Method and apparatus for cryopreparation, dry stabilization and rehydration of biological suspensions
IPC: A61K35/18
Filed: 1991-09-12
Abstract: This invention relates to methods, apparatus and solutions for cryopreserving microscopic biological materials for biologically extended periods of time. The method comprises treating a suspension of biological material, in a appropriate buffer, with a cryoprotectant or combination of cryoprotectants which raises the glass transition temperature range of the sample. One or more dry protectants may be added to the cryosolution. The cryosolution is then nebulized and rapidly cooled with novel apparatus, dried by molecular distillation, stored and then rehydrated in a buffer prior to its use. The solutions comprise novel mixtures of cryoprotectants.   <IMAGE>

distribution histories to a tracing center via a history
sending section. In the tracing center, a distribution history
collection section collects the distribution histories
transmitted from the information intervention apparatuses, and
stores those into a distribution history holding section. A
tracing analysis section 23 analyzes an information
distribution route etc. based on the distribution histories
stored in the distribution history holding section 22. An

Patent EP-0779661-A3 (EP)
Title: High-resolution light-sensing and light-emitting diode array and fabrication method thereof
IPC: H01L33/00
Filed: 1996-12-12
Abstract: A light-sensing/emitting diode array chip has impurity
diffusion regions with a depth of at least 0.5 µm but not
more than 2 µm in a semiconductor substrate. Each impurity
diffusion region is preferably divided into a first region,
used for emitting or sensing light, and a wider second
region, used for electrode contact. The second regions are
located on alternate sides of the array line, permitting a
small array pitch to be combined with a large contact area.
In a wafer process for fabrication of the chips, a diffusion
mask has both windows defining the impurity diffusion
regions, and dicing line marks. The dicing line marks are
narrowed where they pass adjacent to the windows at the ends
of the chip. In the electrode fabrication step, a photomask
with an enlarged pattern is used, to allow for misalignment
with the diffusion mask.

Abstract: Heavy oil emulsified fuel (11a) is preheated at a
preheater (13), is heated at an evaporator (14) and is led into a
separator (15) to be separated of its water content. Water
content, after separated, is sent via a piping (15a) to be used
as the preheating source medium for the preheater (13). Inlet
temperature of the evaporator is controlled constant and
pressure in the piping for leading the preheating source
medium into the preheater is also controlled constant.
Further, temperature difference of outlet temperature relative
to the inlet temperature of the evaporator is controlled
constant. Thereby, the water content in the heavy oil fuel
coming out of the separator can be maintained to a
predetermined value irrespective of load change in a heavy oil fuel
combustion equipment and
no light oil content is discharged together with the separated water
content.

IPC: G08C19/28
Filed: 1998-06-25
Abstract: The back end position of a pulse, which is transmitted from a
remote control, varies according to the transmission distance, and the
pulse width changes. A remote control receiver of the present invention
detects the pulse width of a header, which is formed at the head of each
frame in a remote control signal from the remote control, so as to detect
the transmission distance of the remote control signal and a change in back
end position of each pulse in a data part, which is transmitted after the
header. Then, the back end position of each pulse is corrected to original.
This eliminates the change in pulse width resulting from a change in
transmission distance, and increases the allowable range of the
transmission distance of the remote control.
