Abstract: Methods are provided for detecting formation of oligomeric complexes of molecules on the surface of cell membranes. These methods employ pairs of tagged probes and cleaving probes, each of which binds specificly to a cell surface molecule. The tagged probe includes a molecular tag that is linked to a first binding compound through a cleavable linkage, and the cleaving probe includes a second binding agent and a cleavage-inducing moiety that can cleave the linkage when within a defined proximity thereto. Binding of the two probes to cell surface molecules that have formed an oligomeric complex results in release of the molecular tag from the binding compound, providing a measure of formation of the complex.

Abstract: An active network defense system is provided that is operable to monitor and block traffic in automated fashion. This active network defense system is placed in-line with respect to the packet traffic data flow as a part of the network infrastructure. In this configuration, inspection and manipulation of every passing packet is possible. An algorithmic filtering operation applies statistical threshold filtering to the data flow in order to identify threats existing across multiple sessions. A trigger filtering operation applies header and content match filtering to the data flow in order to identify threats existing within individual sessions. Threatening packet traffic is blocked and threatening sessions are terminated. Suspicious traffic is extracted from the data flow for further examination with more comprehensive content matching as well as asset risk analysis. A flow control mechanism is provided to control passage rate for packets passing through the data flow.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an external-cavity tuneable laser including a gain medium (2) an a tuneable mirror (8), wherein at least the tuneable mirror is in thermal contact, with a thermally conductive platform (10). The tuneable mirror lays substantially horizontally on the thermally conductive platform significantly thereby improving the thermal contact of the tuneable mirror with the platform. The laser beam from the gain medium is directed onto the tuneable mirror, which is mounted substantially horizontally with respect to the thermally conductive platform, by means of a deflector (6) that deflects the beam or a large part of it towards on of the principal surfaces of the tuneable mirror. The resulting laser cavity is therefore a folded cavity. The thermally conductive platform is preferably thermally coupled to TEC (11) that provides thermal control for the platform. In a preferred embodiment, the deflector is a beam splitter that deflects part of the incoming light and transmits the remaining part. A beam splitter as deflector a more compact laser assembly can be envisaged. According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the portion of light transmitted through the beam splitter forms the output laser beam. In other words, the external-cavity laser outputs a laser beam on the side of the wavelength selective elements (the tuneable mirror and, if any, the channel grid), i.e., on the side of the front facet of the laser diode. With this laser design, a collimating lens to collimate the output laser beam is not necessary.

Abstract: A vacuum suction head of the present invention can be applied to a large-sized liquid crystal display panel and can reliably suck an object to be sucked even if the object has undulation or flexure. The suction head has a shaft, which holds a suction pad, and gas is charged into and discharged from the suction pad through a suction hole. A casing holds the shaft through first and second springs so as to be movable in the axial direction. Since the suction pad is elastically supported by the springs, the suction pad can reliably suck the object to be sucked having undulation or flexure. The vacuum suction head can be used for a vacuum suction device and a working table.
