Title: Spectral calibration of fluorescent polynucleotide separation apparatus
Inventor: SHARAF MUHAMMAD A
IPC: G01N27/447
Filed: 1999-09-09
Granted: 2002-06-13
Abstract: The invention relates to methods, compositions, and systems for calibrating a fluorescent polynucleotide separation apparatus. One aspect of the invention is multiple color calibration standards and their use. A multiple color calibration standard is a mixture of at least two polynucleotide of different length, wherein each of the polynucleotide is labeled with a spectrally distinct fluorescent dye. Another aspect of the invention is to produce total emission temporal profiles of multiple color calibration standards for use in calibrating fluorescent polynucleotide separation apparatus. The peaks corresponding to the fluorescently labeled polynucleotide in the total emission temporal profile may be detected using a peak detector that is driven by changes in the slopes of the total emission temporal profile. Calibration of fluorescent polynucleotide separation apparatus with various embodiments ofthe methods ofthe invention include the step of identification of the labeled polynucleotide of the multiple color calibration standards. The process of spectral calibration of fluorescent polynucleotide separation apparatus using multiple color calibration standard may include the step of the estimating (extracting) of the dyes' reference spectra, using information from the peak detection process performed on the total emission temporal profile. Other aspects of the invention include systems for separating and detecting fluorescently labeled polynucleotide, wherein the system is designed for spectral calibration in accordance with the subject calibration methods employing multiple color calibration standards. Another aspect of the invention is methods and compositions for detecting the flow of electrical current through a separation channel of a fluorescent polynucleotide separation apparatus. These methods an compositions employ monitoring dyes. Monitoring dyes are fluorescent dyes that are spectrally distinct from the dye on the polynucleotide intended to convey genetic information, e.g., fluorescent polynucleotide sequencing reaction products. <IMAGE>

Date Jan. 23, 1992.A method and apparatus for spraying in relation to row crops provides downwardly extending support elements or drop legs carrying spray nozzles in the region of their lower ends. The support elements extend downwardly between crop rows and are moved lengthwise of the crop rows while spraying proceeds. The spray nozzles deliver spray generally upwardly and/or horizontally with respect to the ground so as to treat crop material in the rows. The support elements are mounted so as to float freely and permit lateral movement to follow lateral and other row and crop contours. The support elements may be mounted on a boom. The boom may also be provided with downwardly directed spraying nozzles for simultaneous or sequential use. The boom is adapted to fold so as to produce a generally Z-shaped folded configuration. Automatically-actuated stop fingers limit lateral float of the support elements when the boom folds. For lodged crop, the spray nozzles on the support elements may be replaced by rotary wheel elements having projecting spoke elements which penetrate the crop and themselves carry spray nozzles to distribute spray from within the crop. A power driven air discharge nozzle may be provided to assist dispersal of the spray.

Granted: 1986-05-22
Abstract: A servo system for use with apparatus for reproducing a disk on which PCM pulse code modulation signals have been modulated by a run length limited code and which are recorded at a constant linear velocity and the circuit detects the length of a period during which a playback signal is inverted and produces an output corresponding to the detected length and has a peak value hold circuit for maintaining a peak value of the output and a bottom value hold circuit at a later stage of the peak value hold circuit which has a time constant which is larger than the charging time constant of the peak value hold circuit so as to produce an output which follows the output of the peak value hold circuit. A comparator compares the output of the bottom value hold circuit with a reference value so as to produce a signal for controlling a disk drive motor such that a maximum or minimum length during which the playback signal is inverted equals the length when the linear velocity is a reference value so that the linear velocity will be maintained constant during playback.

Title: Methods for detection and quantitation of cell subsets within subpopulations of a mixed cell population
Inventor: MELNICOFF MERYLE J
IPC: C07D493/10
Filed: 1991-11-05
Granted: 1996-03-07
Abstract: The presence or quantity of a selected subset of cells, which is part of a subpopulation of a mixed cell population, is determined by a method in which a detectable reporter substance is uniformly incorporated into substantially all cells of the subpopulation containing the subset of interest. The subset of interest is then affinity-separated by incubating a test sample of the mixed cell population containing the labeled subpopulation with a specific binding substance which selectively binds to characteristic determinants of the cell subset of interest. Occurrence of the reporter substance in the separated fraction is then detected, and correlated to a predetermined standard to determine the presence or quantity of the subset of interest within the cell population. According to another aspect of the invention a method is provided for quantitating two or more selected subsets of cells within a subpopulation of a mixed cell population. After labeling, the entire subpopulation is affinity-separated from the mixed cell population, and occurrence of the reporter substance in the separated fraction is detected. Next, subsets of interest within the subpopulation are affinity-separated as described above, and the level of detected reporter substance in each subset is compared to the level detected in the entire subpopulation. According to further aspects of the invention test kits are provided for performing the above-described methods.

Title: Trigger signals cct for controlled semiconductors - has thyristor and parallel transistor for pulse shaping
IPC: H02M1/08
Filed: 1971-01-08
Abstract: The circuit comprises a power source, a thyristor, the primary winding of a pulse transformer, and a diode all connected in series, and has a transistor in parallel with the thyristor. Triggering the thyristor from an external source produces a fast rising pulse through the transformer, and later switching of the transistor determines the pulse length as set out in main patent 2003775. More reliable operation is achieved by incorporating a detector and time delay circuit between thyristor and transistor which initiates transistor switching when the volt drop across the thyristor falls to the forward conducting value. The circuit then switches the transistor after a time delay determined by the pulse width required.
