Patent EP-1461615-A1 (EP)
Inventor: SLOANE ANDREW JOHN
IPC: B01L3/00
Filed: 2002-12-12
Abstract: A method and apparatus for use in a flow through assay process is disclosed. The method is characterised by a “pre-incubation step” in which the sample which is to be analyzed (typically for the presence of a particular protein), and a detection analyte (typically one or more antibodies bound to colloidal gold or a fluorescent tag) which is known to bind to the particular protein may bind together for a desired period of time. This pre-incubation step occurs before the mixture of sample and detection analyte come into contact with a capture analyte bound to a membrane. The provision of the pre-incubation step has the effect of both improving the sensitivity of the assay and reducing the volume of sample required for an assay. An apparatus for carrying out the method is disclosed defining a pre-incubation chamber for receiving the sample and detection analyte having a base defined by a membrane and a second membrane to which a capture analyte is bound. In one version the pre-incubation chamber is supported above the second membrane in one position but can be pushed into contact with the membrane carrying the capture analyte thus o permitting fluid transfer from the incubation chamber through the capture membrane. In another version the membrane at the base of the incubation chamber is hydrophobic and its underside contacts the capture membrane and when a wetting agent is applied to the contents of the pre-incubation chamber fluid transfer occurs.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method and apparatus of
recycling a printed circuit board for separating and retrieving a
metallic material, which includes a printed metallic material, and
an insulating material, both composing the printed circuit board.
Both the metallic material and the insulating material, which are
separated and retrieved, are possible for recycling. In the method
for recycling the printed circuit board, hot filtration equipment
4a and resin-metal separation equipment 51 are used in hot filtration
process P400. The waste printed circuit board 1 is heated and
force-filtered so that only the insulating material 1a pass through
the filter. Then, the insulating material 1a and the metallic
material 1b are separated and retrieved. It is preferred that the
insulating body base 23 of the printed circuit board 100 as the waste
printed circuit board is made of thermoplastic resin or a mixture
of thermoplastic resin and inorganic loading material. As a result,
when the retrieved metallic material and the retrieved insulating
material amount to necessities of recycling respectively, both the
metallic material and the insulating material are possible for
recycling.

Abstract: There is provided a hydrophilizable wax composition which
provides a wax coating layer having a hydrophilic surface and imparts a
gloss and long-lasting stain-proofing property on a substrate. The
hydrophilizable wax composition can form a hydrophilizable wax coating
layer by applying the composition containing a hydrophilizing agent and
wax component and wiping off the composition, in which the
hydrophilizing agent has hydrolyzable groups which are converted into
hydrophilic groups by hydrolysis in the presence of water and are
condensed to enable the hydrophilizing agent to have a high molecular
weight and is, for example, an organometallic compound having a
releasable group by hydrolysis, its oligomer and/or a co-oligomer
comprising two or more of the compounds.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a voice region detection apparatus and method
capable of accurately detecting a voice region even in a voice signal with color noise. The
voice region detection method comprises the steps of, if a voice signal is input, dividing the
input voice signal into frames; performing whitening of surrounding noise by combining
white noise with the frames; extracting random parameters indicating randomness of
frames from the frames subjected to the whitening; classifying the frames into voice frames
and noise frames based on the extracted random parameters; and detecting a voice region
by calculating start and end positions of a voice based on the voice and noise frames.
According to the present invention, the voice region can be accurately detected even in a
voice signal with a large amount of color noise mixed therewith.
