IPC: G01N1/10
Filed: 2001-01-26
Abstract: A filter bag (1) comprises a first thin plastic film (22); a second thin plastic film (21) having substantially the same size with the first plastic film and sealed to the first plastic film at a first side-peripheral edge (2a), a second side-peripheral edge (2b) opposite to the first side-peripheral edge and a bottom peripheral edge (2d) thereof to provide an open-top interior, and a filter sheet (5) having a length substantially equal to the first and second plastic films and a width smaller than the first and second plastic films. The filter sheet has a first longitudinal edge (5a) interposed and sealed together between the first side-peripheral edges of the first and second plastic films and a second longitudinal edge (5b), opposite to the first longitudinal edge, sealed to the inside of the first plastic film at an intermediate position in width of the filter bag. The filter sheet is also sealed to the inside of the second plastic film, in vicinity to the first longitudinal edge, to provide a half-length seam (5c) extending from the open top edge halfway toward the bottom of the filter bag. A sample receiving section (3) of a larger volume is defined between the first and second plastic films and the filter sheet whereas a suspension collection section (4) of a smaller volume is defined between the first plastic film and the filter sheet. The first plastic film preferably includes a pull-tab (7) near the open top edge, between the second longitudinal edge and the half-length seam. The pull-tab is manually pulled down over a given length to provide a pipette-inserting window. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The limitation of  N  in an  NxN  Wavelength Grating Router (WGR) is
determined to be because of the intrinsic diffraction characteristics of the grating that
occurs when  N  approaches the diffraction order  m  at which the grating operates. The
 N  in a  NxN  WGR device is maximized for input signal channels equally spaced either
in frequency or in wavelength. For the wavelength case,  N  is increased by appropriate
changes in the spacing of the output ports of the WGR and/or by slightly correcting
the channels wavelengths. 
     It has been recognized that because the intrinsic diffraction
characteristcs of the grating, restrictions in the size of  N 
generally happens when  N  approaches the diffraction order
 m  at which the grating operates. We have developed a technique
for maximizing  N  in a  NxN  WGR device for channels equally
spaced either in frequency or in wavelength. For the wavelength case,
 N  is increased by appropriate changes in the spacing of the output
ports of the WRG and/or by slightly correcting the channels wavelengths.

Abstract: A disk cartridge (10) in which a pair of shutter members
(18a, 18b) can be opened and closed smoothly and reliably, and a
dust-proof property and an airtightness of a large opening
portion (25) can be increased by reducing the space between the
shutter members (18a,18b) and the cartridge housing (12) as
much as possible. A disk compartment (16) is formed between an
upper shell (13) and a middle shell (14) by overlapping the
upper shell (13), the middle shell (14) and a lower shell (15),
and the middle shell (14) is supported by the upper shell (13)
and the lower shell (15) so as to become freely rotatable. An
optical disk (11) is rotatably stored within the disk
compartment (16) and a pair of shutter members are attached to
the middle shell (14) in such a manner that they can be moved
in the plane direction on the same plane. A shutter opening and
closing mechanism is provided for opening and closing the
opening portions (25,42) by moving the pair of shutter members
based on rotation of the middle shell (14).

Abstract: The present invention provides a method and apparatus for
enabling a spreadsheet program with formula support on small
devices (like PDAs) while minimizing the amount of memory
space used by not only the program, but also by the
accompanying compiled code during transfer of files from the
desktop to the small devices. The present invention allows the
user to download a spreadsheet file from the desktop to the
small device via a conduit. A conduit is any 2-way
communication device which connects a desktop to a small
device and allows the transfer of data. Since the operating
system of the desktop and small device, like a PDA, are
different, the present invention allows the conduit software
to convert the data to be transferred in a format
understandable by the respective programs of both the desktop
and PDA.

Abstract: A process for generating a unique, secure and printable identity
document, for authenticating the use of the document, and for granting privileges
based on the document, includes generating an identity certificate for an
individual. This certificate incorporates a pointer to biometric and other
identifying data for the individual which are stored in a reference database. The
identity certificate is encoded to produce, for example, a machine-readable
printable 2-dimensional barcode as an identity document. The identity document
may then be used by the document holder for generation of an encoded privilege
document and this, in tum, is compared with the stored reference data, including
the stored biometric when the privilege is to be exercised.

Abstract: A back light (32) is provided with light sources (46a,46b,46c), respective lighting control
circuits (50a,50b,50c) for lighting the light sources, and a brightness control
circuit (48) for outputting respective light volume adjusting signals to the lighting control circuits.
The brightness control circuit in response to receiving a luminance adjusting signal (LUM),
adjusts only the light volume adjusting signals for a portion of
the number of light sources, and fixes output of the rest of the
light volume adjusting signals. The lighting control circuits apply voltages corresponding
to the light volume adjusting signals to the light sources,
thereby adjusting the luminance of the light
sources. The light volume adjusting signals can be adjusted one by one,
which facilitates luminance adjustment of the back light per se.
Thus, by adjusting each light source at a time to the
minimum luminance, the screen brightness of the liquid crystal display having this back
light can be lowered to an appropriate level when it is used in dark places.

Abstract: In Durchlaufwaschmaschinen (10) muss insbesondere knitterfreie Wäsche aus Mischgeweben im Anschluss an die Waschzone (14) für die nachfolgende Behandlung heruntergekühlt werden.
