Patent EP-0661643-A1 (EP)
Inventor: RASMUS TODD M
IPC: G06F13/40
Filed: 1994-11-15
Abstract: A circuit embodied within an adapter card for hot-plugging with a card slot in a card slot coupled to a processor based system utilizes a biasing circuit for ensuring that the input voltage to the load of the adapter card is of a sufficient magnitude. The circuit also includes a FET/feedback circuit for opening and closing the circuit provided between the input voltage to the adapter card and the load. This FET/feedback circuit operates as a constant current source to charge the input capacitance of the load and converts to a switched mode when the load capacitance is fully charged. The biasing circuit controls the FET/feedback circuit so that it remains open during hot-plugging of the adapter card into the card slot to alleviate pin arching. A monitor/timer circuit prevents the FET/feedback circuit from operating in the constant-current mode for no longer than a predetermined amount of time. A latch circuit is provided to turn off the FET within the FET/feedback circuit upon sensing of a transient current through the load.

Abstract: A Corticotropin Releasing Factor-binding protein (CRF-BP) is isolated and purified sufficient to provide AA sequence data from which the DNA is obtained, which is then used to produce the protein recombinantly. The CRF-BP is useful for modulating the biological activity of CRF, such as reducing the high ACTH levels in mammals caused by excess CRF. The CRF-BP or fragments thereof and/or antibodies to the proteins may be employed in diagnostic assays to determine the levels of CRF, CRF-BP and the ratio of CRF/CRF-BP in a vascular fluid sample. The DNA or subsequence thereof can be used as probes for genetic material in certain assays. The anti-CRF-BP antibodies are also useful to purify the CRF-BP protein and to modulate the biological effect of CRF-BPs proteins.

Title: Method for automatic testing of laboratory specimens.
Inventor: MARKIN RODNEY S
IPC: G01N35/00
Filed: 1993-12-20
Abstract: The method for automatic testing of a laboratory specimen of the present invention includes the initial step of obtaining a specimen to be tested and placing the specimen in a specimen container. Information regarding the specimen and any tests to be conducted thereon is entered into a computerized laboratory information system (LIS) which is connected to and communicates with a laboratory automation system (LAS) software. The specimen container is inserted in a specimen carrier, and the carrier marked with an identification code which uniquely identifies the specimen and, by virtue of the identification code, the tests to be conducted thereon. The specimen contained within the specimen carrier is entered into the LAS at a receiving station, which reads the identification code and thereby determines: 1. If tests which require process/steps which can run at variety of workstations; 2. If tests can have certain steps merged in an effort to ensure that they are carried out properly; 3. The priority of the specimen relative to other specimens already in the LAS; 4. The priority of each test to be conducted on the specimen; and 5. The most direct route from their receiving station to the workstation for conducting the highest priority test on the specimen.

Abstract: Système de microphone destiné à être utilisé dans un environnement dans lequel une source acoustique émet de l'énergie depuis des emplacements divers et variés au sein dudit environnement. Ledit système de microphone possède au moins deux microphones directionnels (MA, MB, MC, MD), un circuit de mixage et un circuit de commande. Ces microphones (MA, MB, MC, MD) sont tous orientés vers l'extérieur à partir d'un point central. Le circuit de commande combine les signaux électriques provenant des microphones (MA, MB, MC, MD) dans des proportions variables pour former un signal composite, ledit signal composite comportant des apports provenant d'au moins deux des microphones (MA, MB, MC, MD). Le circuit de commande analyse les signaux électriques pour déterminer une orientation angulaire du signal acoustique par rapport au point central, ajuste pratiquement en continu les proportions en réponse à l'orientation déterminée et envoie les proportions ajustées au circuit de mixage. Les valeurs des proportions sont choisies de telle manière que le signal composite simule un signal qui serait généré par un seul microphone directionnel pivotant autour du point central pour diriger sa réponse maximale vers le signal acoustique lorsque ce dernier se déplace dans l'environnement.

Abstract: Electronic system (1) for measuring the density and structure of bone, in which an electronic central unit (3) is equipped with ultrasonic calipers (5) designed to be applied to a segment of the human body (for example, a finger) containing bone tissue to be examined. The central unit (3) is designed to display on a screen (17) an image (S) of the ultrasonic signal transmitted through the bone tissue and highlight, on that image (S), two vertical marker lines (Rto, Rtm) correlated with the velocity with which the ultrasound signals are transmitted through the bone tissue and the velocity of transmission of the ultrasound signals through soft tissue. These vertical marker lines (Rto, Rtm) mark off the portion of the image that represents the ultrasonic signal received after passing through the bone tissue. The amplitude of this signal depends on the absorption of the ultrasound when passing through the bone tissue.
