Abstract: Melt-blown microfiber webs are prepared from polyarylene sulfide polymers, particularly polyphenylene sulfide. A small amount of a phosphite or phosphonite compound is added to the extruder feedstock. The additive essentially eliminates spurious polymer particle formation at the extruder die openings, even over sustained production periods. The polyarylene sulfide microfiber webs so produced are thus essentially free of spurious particulates, and the web defects which may be caused by such particulates. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Systems and methods locate at least three spaced apart sensing units in association with volume of blood comprising a first blood component region, a second blood component region, and an interface region between the first and second blood component regions. The systems and methods locate at least one of the sensing units so that its optical field lies above the interface region and at least one of the sensing units so that its optical field lies below the interface region. Each sensing unit senses the attenuation of energy emitted into blood in its optical field and generates a signal relating to the attenuation. The systems and methods convert the signals to a signal vector of signal values having a shape approximated by a function. The systems and methods normalize the signal vector, and also create a vector of convolution signal values by multiplying the normalized signal vector by the function. The systems and methods identify the sensing unit associated with the highest convolution signal value. It is this sensing unit that lies closest to the interface. The systems and methods can limit the signal values of the signal vector according to prescribed criteria that eliminate the effect of noise.

Date Feb. 27, 1997The depth of a metal object (for example) beneath the ground (for example) is measured by measuring propagation times of electromagnetic radiation travelling in two different paths within the ground, each from a transmission location via reflection from the object to a receiver location. There should be either multiple transmitter locations, multiple receiver locations or both and the spacing in the ground plane between the transmitter and receiver locations is known. By mathematically manipulating the propagation times for reflected signals travelling in different paths, dependence on the permittivity of the ground itself can be eliminated from the calculation of depth.

Abstract: A method for selecting nucleic acid sequences encoding ligand and receptor molecules capable of specific binding to each other is disclosed in which nucleic acid encoding ligand or receptor molecules is expressed in a host microorganism in combination with a surface molecule, such as E. coli pili, so that the ligand or receptor are displayed on the surface of the host microorganism. A replicable genetic unit, such as a filamentous bacteriophage, is used to display candidate binding partners to the ligand or receptor, with the binding of the ligand or receptor to the candidate binding partner mediating the transfer of nucleic acid from the replicable genetic unit to the microorganism. The method can be highly selective as the host microorganism is modified so that it does not display the surface molecule other than as a fusion with the ligand receptor molecule. The method is rapid and simple and opens up new applications based on the detection of ligand and receptors where both are unknown.

Abstract: A device for varying the energy of a particle beam extracted from a fixed-energy particle accelerator includes a block of energy degrading material positioned in the path of the particle beam. The block of energy degrading material is preferably in the form of a ring arranged on a wheel. The ring is of a staircase configuration, having discrete steps defining a thickness between parallel entry and exit faces. According to one aspect of the invention, the block is configured so that the particle beam energy variation reaches a maximum at the edges of each step. This upper limit is also the lower limit of the next step. Thus, continuous energy variation is possible despite the fact that the thickness of the block varies in discrete steps.
