Abstract: An iterative software pipelining method promotes instructions of a program loop to previous loop iterations and then reschedules the instructions until either 1) the resultant schedule is optimal (i.e. the initiation interval is equal to the minimum initiation interval) or 2) the resultant schedule is not an improvement over the previous schedule generated. The method is applicable to a sequence of instructions within a program loop having a single control flow entry and one or more control flow exit points. First, a minimum initiation interval of the program loop is computed (310). Second, instruction level parallelism transformations are applied on the program loop (335).  Third, a single iteration schedule is determined for the program loop (340).  Fourth, selected instructions are percolated to a prior iteration of the program loop to generate a new instruction order for the program loop (370).  Each of steps two through four is performed as long as a previous length of the program loop exceeds a single iteration schedule length (350) and the single iteration schedule length exceeds the minimum initiation interval (355).

Title: Passive internal references for the detection of nucleic acid amplification products
Inventor: LIVAK KENNETH J
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 1997-06-03
Granted: 2003-10-07
Abstract: The invention relates to passive internal references for use in quantitating the formation of amplification products in a nucleic amplification reaction.  The internal amplification reference molecules of the invention comprise a first and second fluorophore joined together through a backbone connector. The first and second fluorophores are joined on the backbone in a configuration that permits the energy transfer from the first fluorophore to the second fluorophore. The backbone connector is selected so as not to bind to the target nucleic acid sequence under nucleic acid amplification conditions.  Preferably, the backbone connector is a polynucleotide. Another aspect of the invention is to provide passive internal reference molecule containing reagent compositions for use in nucleic acid amplification reactions. The compositions comprise the internal amplification reference molecule of the invention and a nucleic acid amplification reaction buffer. The reagent compositions, optionally, include additional components required for nucleic acid amplification reactions. The invention also provides improved methods of measuring the amount of amplification product in nucleic acid amplification reactions employing fluorescer-quencher probe assays, including methods for the real-time measurement of amplification product formation. The methods comprise the step of adding the internal reference molecule of the invention to the amplification reaction mixture. Fluorescence of the second fluorophore on the internal reference may then be measured and used to calculate changes in fluorescence of the fluorophore on a fluorescer-quencher probe.

Abstract: Providing a tapered surface reflectivity to the reflecting surface of the parabolic reflector in a parabolic antenna using resistive material reduces side lobes and produces steeper roll off~in the principal lobe, permitting use in the antenna of a smaller diameter microwave feed than required by an antenna without that tapered surface resistivity and, effectively, emulates the latter antenna. As a consequence of the smaller feed diameter, multiple feeds may be positioned contiguously to form multi-beam antennas that produce contiguous beam patterns. A satellite cellular communications multi-beam antenna incorporating the invention achieves greater regional coverage of the Earth.

Title: Capillary electrophoretic methods to detect new biologically active compounds in complex biological material
Inventor: HUGHES DALLAS E
IPC: G01N37/00
Filed: 1998-12-16
Granted: 2004-11-30
Abstract: The present method generally comprises mixing a pro-selected, detectable target with a sample of complex biological material to produce a first, sample/target mixture capillary electrophoresis apparatus. Subsequently, the first mixture is mixed with a pre-selected, tight-binding competitive ligand (TBCL), prior to produce a second, sample/target/TBCL mixture, for a predetermined optimal incubation period sufficient to allow the TBCL to bind a pro-selected percentage of the available target in the absence of any other ligand. An aliquot of the second mixture is subsequently subjected to pre-optimized capillary electrophoresis, during which the migration of the target is monitored. The presence of a potential new compound is indicated by the increase in the peak area of the unbound target peak and/or decrease in the peak area of the TBCL/target complex peak. A capillary electrophoretic profile of the second mixture is produced, which may be compared to a reference standard. The reference standared typically comprises a capillary electrophoretic profile or migration pattern of the target when mixed with a TBCL in an absence of any other competing ligand under similar, preselected capillary electrophoretic conditions.

Abstract: A composite membrane (12) comprising a membrane (16) with a structure of nodes (22) connected by fibrils (24). Surfaces of the nodes (22) and fibrils (24) define a plurality of interconnecting pores (26) that extend through the membrane (16) and between major sides (18,20) of the membrane. The membrane (16) is made from an expanded polytetrafluoroethylene material which tends to absorb oils and certain contaminating agents. The membrane (16) is moisture vapor transmissive, gas permeable and wind and liquid penetration resistant. A coating (28) is disposed on surfaces of the membrane (16) that define the pores (26). The coating (28) is made from an acrylic-based polymer with fluorocarbon side chains. The coating (28) is coalesced on surfaces of the nodes (22) and fibrils (24) to provide oil and certain contaminating agent resistance to the composite membrane (12) without completely blocking the pores (26) in the membrane (16). A method of treating a membrane (16) comprises the steps of providing a membrane (16) with a structure of node (22) and fibrils (24). Surfaces of the nodes (22) and fibrils (24) define a plurality of pores (26) extending through the membrane (16). The membrane (16) is made from an expanded polytetrafluoroethylene material. A water-miscible dispersion of perfluoroalkyl acrylic copolymer solids in a water-miscible solvent is provided. The water-miscible dispersion has surface tension and relative contact angle properties such that the diluted dispersion is incapable of wetting the polytetrafluoroethylene material of the membrane (16). The dispersion is diluted with a water-miscible wetting agent so the diluted dispersion can wet the membrane (16). Surfaces of the nodes (22) and fibrils (24) are coated with the diluted dispersion. The wetting agent material is removed. Solids in the diluted dispersion coalesce on surfaces of the nodes (22) and fibrils (24) without completely blocking the pores (26) in the membrane (16).
