Abstract: The invention relates to a method of separating products being fed forward to a weighing operation or further processing, comprising separating products (11) travelling on a feed conveyor (10), which are adjacent one another in a direction other than the direction of travel, whereby each separated product is free from interference with an adjacent product during the weighing operation or further processing. In a preferred embodiment, the method comprises stopping the leading products, allowing the products to form a first row (16) or maintain a first row across the conveyor, and releasing the products of said first row in a pre-selected sequence so that adjacent products of said first row are separated from each other during further forward movement. The invention also relates to an apparatus for separating products being fed forward to weighing apparatus or further processing.

Abstract: A computer system comprises a plurality of programs, each operating in an operating area such as a virtual machine. The programs are provided with a common data buffer for buffering data for processing by said programs. Each program also has a buffer control including at least one pointer for pointing to a buffer containing data to be processed by the program. One of the programs will initially process the data in the common data buffer and, after it is finished processing, will control the other program's buffer pointer to enable the other program to process the data in the common data buffer. By using the same buffer to contain data to be processed by both programs, the programs can avoid having to copy the data between private buffers maintained for each, which can assist in accelerating through-put by the computer system.

Abstract: A level shifting driver shifts a low magnitude logic signal to a high magnitude logic signal while preventing a high supply voltage as associated with the high magnitude logic signal from feeding back into logic devices associated with providing the low magnitude logic signal. An input terminal receives the low magnitude logic signal from a given low voltage logic device. An N-channel MOSFET has its channel disposed serially between the input terminal and an output terminal and its gate coupled to a low supply voltage of the low voltage logic device. A latch network biased by the high supply voltage has one node of its latch coupled to the output terminal for providing an output signal representative of the low magnitude logic signal but of a high magnitude established in accordance with the high supply voltage.

IPC: H01L29/737
Filed: 1997-03-27
Abstract: A heterojunction bipolar transistor and a method for fabricating an HBT with self-aligned base metal contacts using a double photoresist, which requires fewer process steps than known methods, while minimizing damage to the active emitter contact region. In particular, a photoresist is used to form the emitter mesa. The emitter mesa photoresist is left on and a double polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) and photoresist layer is then applied. The triple photoresist combination is patterned to create a non-critical lateral alignment for the base metal contacts to the emitter mesa, which permits selective base ohmic metal deposition and lift-off. By utilizing the double photoresist as opposed to a metal or dielectric for masking, an additional photolithography step and etching step is eliminated. By eliminating the need for an additional etching step, active regions of the semiconductors are prevented from being exposed to the etching step and possibly damaged.

Abstract: The invention relates to methods and compositions for simultaneously generating a plurality of polynucleotide sequencing ladders or PCR amplification products. Each sequencing ladder is generated from a recoverable primer, i.e., an oligonucleotide primer comprising a recovery tag. The recovery tag may be an oligonucleotide. Each sequencing ladder has a unique recovery tag. After the generation of the multiple sequencing ladders, the different sequencing ladders are separated from one another, i.e., purified, by binding to recovery tag binding compounds that have been immobilized on one or more solid supports. The recovery tag binding compounds are immobilized on the solid support in an addressable manner, i.e., the recovery tag binding compounds have distinct locations on the solid support. The binding of the sequencing ladders to the recovery tag binding compounds serves to separate the different polynucleotide sequencing ladders present in a given solution. The separated sequencing ladders may then be released from the immobilized recovery tag binding compounds and subsequently resolved into individual components of the sequencing ladders or PCR products. The subject methods of separating sequencing ladders simultaneously generated in the same vessel may readily be adapted to separate a plurality of simultaneously generated polynucleotide amplification products. Other aspects of the invention are kits for the generation or recovery of a plurality of polynucleotide sequencing ladders or amplification products. The kits comprise a plurality of recoverable primers having unique recovery tags. Preferably, the recovery tags are polynucleotides that have substantially the same denaturation temperature when bound to appropriate recovery tag binding compounds, i.e., the primers comprise an integrated set. The kits may further comprise recovery tag binding compounds. The kits may further comprise labeled chain terminators. Other aspects of the invention include polynucleotide recovery devices.

Title: Analyseur de sang modulaire portable a sequence simplifiee de manipulation des liquides

Filed: 1997-05-20
Abstract: L'invention concerne un analyseur de sang modulaire portable pouvant déterminer par analyse de multiples valeurs sanguines au moyen d'un instrument bon marché, relativement simple, facile à utiliser et à entretenir. L'invention concerne un appareil composé de trois parties: le boîtier de l'analyseur (10), une cartouche de substances d'étalonnage (14) et une cartouche de capteurs (12). Une cartouche modulaire de substances d'étalonnage (14) logée dans le boîtier (10) contient tous les liquides d'étalonnage nécessaires ainsi qu'un récipient à déchets. Une cartouche modulaire de capteurs (12) munie d'un système intégré de tubes de pompage (16) se branche à l'intérieur du boîtier (10) pour permettre de retirer et de remplacer sans difficulté les capteurs. Le boîtier (10) renferme des unités modulaires comprenant un module électronique, un module d'affichage et un module d'acheminement des liquides et d'impression. L'automate dispose d'une seule tête de pompage (18) qui aspire le sang pour l'amener exclusivement vers un réseau de capteurs installés dans la cartouche de capteurs (12). A cet effet, la pompe péristaltique rotative (18) aspire le sang dans une direction pendant une première partie d'un cycle d'analyse, puis s'inverse et évacue le sang de la cartouche de capteurs (12) avec le liquide pompé dans la direction opposée pendant une deuxième partie d'un cycle d'analyse. Par ce procédé, le sang n'entre en contact qu'avec une infime partie du dispositif d'analyse dont la plupart des éléments sont jetables. Etant donné que toutes les soupapes sont placées 'en aval' de la pompe unique, aucun produit sanguin ne passe par une soupape. On peut nettoyer facilement la partie de l'analyseur qui manipule les liquides en retirant la cartouche de capteurs (12), laquelle libère un unique canal d'insertion des tubes. Le parcours d'acheminement du sang est court, ce qui permet d'utiliser de faibles quantités d'échantillons sanguins, de l'ordre de 200 νl. L'analyseur est léger et de conception modulaire et fonctionne de manière entièrement automatique.
