Title: Polynucleotide matrix-based method of identifying microorganisms
Inventor: HOGAN JAMES J
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 2000-05-03
Granted: 2011-03-29
Abstract: Method of identifying microbial organisms wherein a biological sample containing nucleic acids is hybridized with a collection of polynucleotide probes, each probe having binding specificity for the ribosomal nucleic acids of at least one microbe.  The collection of probes isorganized into a series of "addresses" that provide information about the presence or absence of one or more polynucleotide sequences in the biological sample. Probes in the matrix are selected to distinguish between organisms that differ from each other by a known phylogenetic relationship. Advantageously, the invented method can detect and resolve the identities of microorganisms that are present in a mixed culture. The system is particularly suited to automated analysis.

Abstract: An accelerator comprises a plurality of accelerating cells arranged to conve y a beam, adjacent cells being linked by a coupling cell, the coupling cells being arranged to dictate the ratio of electric field in the respective adjacent accelerating cells, at least one coupling cell being switchable between a positive ratio and a negative ratio. Such an accelerator in effect inserts a phase change into the E field by imposing a negative ratio, meaning that the beam will meet a reversed electric field in subsequent cells and will in fact be decelerated. As a result, the beam can be developed and bunched in early cells while accelerating to and/or at relativistic energies, and then bled of energy in later cells to bring th e beam energy down to (say) between 100 and 300 KeV. Energies of this magnitude are comparable to diagnostic X-rays, where much higher contrast of bony structures exists. Hence the accelerator can be used to take kilovoltage portal images. A suitable structure for the switchable coupling cell comprises a cavity containing a conductive element rotatable about an axis transverse to the be am axis, as for example set out in our earlier application PCT/GB99/00187. The application also relates to the use of such an accelerat or and an operating method for such an accelerator.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and device for calibrating a measuring instrument with at least two partial systems (<I>K;M</I>), which can be displaced with regard to one another, and with means for generating an image of at least one first partial system (<I>K</I>) on at least one detecting component (<I>A</I>) of at least one partial system. The invention provides that after establishing a mathematical model, a parameter set, which quantifies influencing factors on systematic measurement errors of the measuring instrument and which has at least one parameter, is derived from the mathematical model. Afterwards, the imaging of the structure elements (<I>S</I>) of a first partial system (<I>K</I>), said structure elements determining the relative position of a partial system, ensues on a second partial system (<I>M</I>). The image of the structure elements (<I>S</I>) of the first partial system (<I>K</I>) is converted into signals by the detecting component (<I>A</I>), and at least one signal vector is recorded. Correction values, which reduce systematic measurement errors of the measuring instrument, are derived from the estimated values of the parameter set and made available.
