IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 1993-04-29
Granted: 1997-05-08
Abstract: Disclosed are devices and methods for the clinical analysis of a sperm sample. The devices comprise a solid substrate, typically on the order of a few millimeters thick and approximately 0.2 to 2.0 centimeters square, microfabricated to define a sample inlet port (16A) and a mesoscale flow channel (20, 40) extending from the inlet port (16A). In one embodiment, a sperm sample is applied to the inlet port (16A), and the competitive migration of the sperm sample through the mesoscale flow channel (20, 40) is detected to serve as an indicator of sperm motility. In another embodiment, the substrate of the device is microfabricated with a sperm inlet port (16A), an egg nesting chamber (16B), and an elongate mesoscale flow channel (20, 40) communicating between the egg nesting chamber (16B) and the inlet port (16A). In this embodiment, a sperm sample is applied to the inlet port, and the sperm in the sample is permitted to competitively migrate from the inlet port (16A) through the channel (20, 40) to the egg nesting chamber (16B), where in vitro fertilization occurs. The devices of the invention may be used in a wide range of applications in the analysis of a sperm sample, including the analysis of sperm morphology or motility, to assess sperm binding properties, and for in vitro fertilization.

Title: Method and apparatus for using walsh shift keying in a spread spectrum communication system
Inventor: ZEHAVI EPHRAIM
IPC: H04W88/14
Filed: 1995-12-11
Granted: 1998-08-20
Abstract: Method and apparatus for generating orthogonally encoded communication signals for communication system subscribers using multiple orthogonal functions for each orthogonal communication channel. Digital data symbols for signal recipients are M-ary modulated using at least two n-length orthogonal modulation symbols, which are generally Walsh functions normally used within the communication system. These symbols are provided by a modulation symbol selector (124) typically from one or more code generators (126, 128), and the modulation is such that M equals a product of a total number of orthogonal functions and the number used to generate individual modulation symbols. Each group of log M encoded data symbols from data processing elements (100, 102) are mapped into one modulation symbol using the modulation symbol selection element (124) according to their binary values. In some embodiments, a fast Hadamard transformer is used for symbol mapping. The resulting communication signals are demodulated by correlating them with the preselected number of orthogonal functions, in parallel, and demodulating the results into M energy values representing each orthogonal modulation symbol. The energy values are mapped into energy metric data using a dual maximum metric generation process. The correlation and demodulation can be accomplished using at least two sets of N correlators (142), N being the number of functions used, and applying correlated signals to one demodulator for each set of correlators (144). Each demodulator outputs M energy values representing each of the M mutually orthogonal modulation symbols, which are then combined into a single set of M energy values. In further configurations, coherent demodulators (172, 174) can be used to produce amplitude values for received signals which are then combined (178) with dual maximum metric results (170) to produce composite metric values for data symbols (178).

Granted: 2003-10-23
Abstract: Lovastatin, pravastatin, simvastatin, mevastatin, atorvastatin, and derivatives and analogs thereof are known as HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors and are used as and antihypercholesterolemic agents. The majority of them are produced by fermentation using microorganisms of different species identified as species belonging to Aspergilus, Monascus, Nocardia, Amycolatopsis, Mucor or Penicilium genus, some are obtained by treating the fermentation products using the method of chemical synthesis or they are the products of total chemical synthesis. The purity of the active ingredient is an important factor for manufacturing the safe and effective pharmaceutical, especially if the pharmaceutical product must be taken on a longer term basis in the treatment or prevention of high plasma cholesterol. The accumulation of the impurities from the pharmaceuticals of lower purity may cause many side effects during the medical treatment. The present invention relates to a new industrial process for the isolation of HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors using so-called displacement chromatography. Use of the invention enables to obtain HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors of high purity, with high yields, lower production costs and suitable ecological balance.
