Inventor: TANAKA TAKEHARU
IPC: C01B3/56
Filed: 2006-04-25
Abstract: Disclosed herein is a hydrogen permeable member composed of a metal porous body and a hydrogen permeable membrane placed thereon, with a diffusion preventing layer interposed between them, wherein the metal porous body has those parts on which the diffusion preventing layer is absent and such parts are filled with metal oxide particles and/or porous metal oxide. This structure prevents direct contact between the metal porous body and the hydrogen permeable membrane, thereby relieving the latter from deterioration by diffusion of metal from the former.

Title: Copy detection system using correlations of copy detection patterns
Inventor: XU ZHIJIE
IPC: G06K9/36
Filed: 2006-09-18
Abstract: Systems and methods for detecting copies of documents are described. In one example, a system and method for detecting copies of documents utilizes multiple correlations of original and scanned copy detection patterns. The system captures a CDP that may be skewed or improperly sized. The system also retrieves or reconstitutes the expected CDP. In order to provide a more reliable comparison and without manipulating the captured CDP, the system manipulates the orientation or rotation and resolution or size of the retrieved or reconstituted CDP to register it with the captured CDP. Then the system performs a first correlation to determine if the captured CDP indicates the correct document identification and then if necessary, a second correlation to determine authentication such as by performing a 1 pixel shift multiple autocorrelation comparison of the two CDPs.

Title: Diagnostic testing process and apparatus incorporating controlled sample flow
Inventor: BULS ROWAN
IPC: G01N33/543
Filed: 2005-06-06
Abstract: An apparatus (10) and method for use in a vertical flow-through assay process is characterised by applying pressure to a sample to force the sample through a reaction/capture membrane (12), to which one or more ligands are bound, at a controlled rate. Typically, the method includes a pre-incubation step in which the sample and a detection analyte typically an antibody bound to colloidal gold or a fluorescent tag bind together. The pre-incubation step typically takes place in a chamber (26).spaced above the capture membrane (12). The base of the chamber is defined by a porous hydrophobic frit (34) typically formed from polyethylene. It is preferred that the chamber (26) is defined by the upper part of a cylinder (24) extending from a seal (30) compressing the reaction membrane (12) against an absorbent pad (28). The seal (30) has the effect of compressing tie reaction membrane and preventing wicking of the sample in the lateral direction outside of the circular seal. A piston (28) compresses air located in. the chamber above atmospheric pressure to farce the sample to pass through the hydrophobic frit (34). Alternatively, a hydraulic actuator (60) may directly act on the sample to force the sample through the frit and reaction membrane at a predetermined rate.

Title: Device for subtracting/adding a constant amount of charge in a charge-coupled device
Inventor: KOHLER EDWARD
IPC: G11C19/28
Filed: 2005-06-20
Abstract: A circuit for adding or subtracting an amount of charge from a charge sample, such as in a Charge Coupled Device (CCD), by portioning and pipelining the processing stages, to avoid introducing a memory effect. The operation, such as subtraction, is split into multiple stages, with each stage responsible for removing only a portion of the total amount of charge that is desired to be removed. The subtraction pipeline stages operate together to remove the total desired charge amount. In one embodiment each successive subtraction stage removes a corresponding lesser amount of charge. As a result, greater accuracy in the amount of charge removed is achieved as well operation at higher frequencies than previous charge subtraction approaches.

Title: Ignition systems for portable power tools
Inventor: WARFEL PAUL A
IPC: F02B63/02
Filed: 2005-02-04
Abstract: The cooperative operational relationship among an ignition switch, choke mechanism and air filter unit for a portable power tool are integrated in a way to improve that relationship. The ignition switch and choke mechanism are arranged in a coactive relationship wherein the ignition switch and a choke lever in the choke mechanism have engaging parts such that the ignition switch is moved to an "On" position by the choke lever when the choke lever is moved to a position where it has reduced the air flow to a carburetor. A spring engaging the ignition switch is biased for applying a force to the ignition switch in a direction toward a mounting element on which the ignition switch is mounted and away from the choke lever. In a particular embodiment, the ignition switch is mounted on the air filter unit.

IPC: C12P21/02
Filed: 2005-07-20
Abstract: Labeled antibodies, antibody fragments or peptides binding to soluble cytokines or cytokine receptors are used to diagnose whether a patient has cancer or an autoimmune disease. In a preferred embodiment, a radiolabelled tag that is chemically bound to a peptide, antibody, or antibody fragment specific for sTNFR-1 and/or sTNFR2 is injected into a patient with a tumor, or suspected tumor, or with any disease associated with STNF~1/STNF-2. The patient is then imaged using standard nuclear imaging equipment to detect areas or sites of concentration of the radiolabel and/or receptor/inhibitor and/or antigen. By screening for cancer by the substances it produces, using an injected antibody to that substance with a tracer attached to it, one can detect cancer at a very early stage, potentially even microscopically.
