IPC: G01F22/02

Abstract: A method of verifying sample volume quantifies the fluid volume aspirated and verifies sample uniformity by detecting the presence of foam or clots in the sample. After aspiration, a pressure sensor is used to measure the vacuum needed to hold up the column of fluid in the probe tip. By knowing the geometry of the probe tip, the vacuum can be converted to a sample weight and volume, based on sample densities. Non-ideal conditions, such as foam on the surface of the fluid or a clot in the fluid, and error conditions such as an empty container or the probe not being in contact with the liquid are detected. The method also determines the elapsed time of the aspiration.  <IMAGE>

Abstract: The present invention realizes a communication system between a road and a vehicle which performs communication between a road communication station and a vehicle-mounted mobile station in a cell, utilizing an OFDM modulation method, in which interference between carriers does not occur even when a vehicle runs at high speed and Doppler shift increases, which prevents occurrence of the degradation in communication quality. After detecting the velocity of a vehicle in the cell, the space between frequencies of subcarriers of OFDM is increased as the detected velocity of the vehicle becomes higher. Assuming that an occupied bandwidth of frequency assigned according to the Radio Law is fixed in a radio wave, the number of subcarriers within the occupied bandwidth of frequency is reduced (thinned out). Even when the vehicle runs at high speed, the interference between carriers does not occur, thereby allowing high-quality data communication. Moreover, since the number of vehicles present in the cell is small, a drop in the data transmission rate due to a phenomenon related to the number of subcarriers can be coped with by the present invention. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The present invention provides methods for isolating a defined quantity of DNA target material from other substances in a medium. The method may be carried out using a known quantity of a silica-containing solid support, such as silica magnetic particles, having a definable capacity for reversibly binding DNA target material, and DNA target material in excess of the binding capacity of the particles. The methods of the present invention involve forming a complex of the silica magnetic particles and the DNA target material in a mixture of the medium and particles, and separating the complex from the mixture using external magnetic force. The DNA target material may then be eluted from the complex. The quantity of DNA target material eluted may be determined based on a calibration model. The methods of the present invention permit isolation of DNA target material which is within a known quantity range. The methods of the invention eliminate the step of quantitating purified biological samples prior to further processing, such as amplification, Short Tandem Repeat (STR) analysis, and DNA sequencing. Samples of the DNA target materials may be obtained from liquid or solid media, such as liquid blood or paper.
