Abstract: A shutter consists of a plate (4) which pivots inside a surround (2). The plate is made from two identical halves (4a, 4b), fitted together face to face with overlapping edges, and its surround is made from two rectangular members, each having a thickness equivalent to half the plate and joined together to form stops for the plate edges. In a variant of the design the plate and surround can be circular in shape. The plate has spindles it diametrically-opposite edges which engage with matching holes in the surround and allow the shutter to turn about a central pivot for opening and closing. Seals can be included to make the shutter airtight.

Abstract: Textile fibers are treated with enzymes in the absence of surfactants, with the effect of increasing the wettability and absorbency of the fibers. The enzymes are pectinases, cellulases, proteases, lipases or combinations thereof. The wetting properties of cotton fibers are found to be most substantially improved by treatment with a mixture of cellulase and pectinase. The effects of five hydrolyzing enzymes on improving the hydrophilicity of several polyester fabrics have been studied. Four out of the five lipases studied improve the water wetting and absorbent properties of the regular polyester fabrics more than alkaline hydrolysis under optimal conditions (3N NaOH at 55° C. for 2 hours). Compared to aqueous hydrolysis, the enzyme reactions have shown to be effective under more moderate conditions, including a relatively low concentration (0.01 g/L), a shorter reaction time (10 minutes), at an ambient temperature (25° C.). Contrary to the results with alkaline hydrolysis, the improved water wettability is accompanied by full strength retention. Lipase has also shown to be effective in improving the wetting and absorbent properties of sulfonated polyester and microdenier polyester fabrics.

Abstract: An improved method allowing for rapid sensitive and standardized detection of a target nucleic acid from a pathogenic microorganism or virus or normal or abnormal gene in a sample is provided. The method involves hybridizing a target nucleic acid to several non-overlapping oligonucleotide probes that hybridize to adjacent regions in the target nucleic acid, the probes being referred to capture/amplification probes and amplification probes, respectively, in the presence of paramagnetic beads coated with a ligand binding moiety. Through the binding of a ligand attached to one end of the capture/amplification probe and the specific hybridization of portions of the probes to adjacent sequences in the target nucleic acid, a complex comprising the target nucleic acid, the probes and the paramagnetic beads is formed. The probes may then ligated together to form a contiguous ligated amplification sequence bound to the beads, which complex may be denatured to remove the target nucleic acid and unligated probes. Alternatively, separate capture and amplification probes may be used which form continuous full-length or circular probes, and may be directly detected or amplified using a suitable amplification technique, e.g., PCR, RAM or HSAM for detection. The detection of the ligated amplification sequence, either directly or following amplification of the ligated amplification sequence, indicates the presence of the target nucleic acid in a sample. Methods for the detection of the ligated amplification sequence, including hybridization signal amplification method and ramification-extension amplification method, are also provided.

Abstract: The test facility tests whether the services subscribed to by a user in a subscribed network are also available in a visited network. Because the network functions and services should be tested in the same way as a customer actually uses them, they preferably have to be tested from the subscriber network interfaces. The subscriber network interfaces are especially important at the air interface and at the switched network for conventional analogue and ISDN telephone services (Integrated Services Digital Network). However, for special tests internal interfaces of a GSM network (Global System for Mobile Communication) are also of significance such as the A-Interface at the Mobile Switching Center (MSC) of a GSM network.
