Abstract: An interface circuit is provided for connecting to a multi-mode signal bus. The signal bus (e.g., a PCI local bus) can operate in either a first or second signaling mode. The first signaling mode is one in which discrete logic levels (e.g., binary "0" and "1") are represented by a first set of voltage levels (e.g., 0V-5V). The second signaling mode is one in which discrete logic levels are represented by a different, second set of voltage levels (e.g., 0V-3.3V). The interface circuit includes an intermediate level generator circuit for generating an intermediate voltage level (V4) between the possible voltage levels of the first and second signaling modes (V5 and V3). A comparator compares the power level of the signal bus against the intermediate voltage level (V4) and determines which signaling mode the signal bus is operating in. Configurable I/O cells of the interface circuit are then automatically configured to operate in the corresponding signaling mode (V5 or V3). <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method for carrying out the affinity separation of a target substance from a liquid test medium by mixing magnetic particles having surface immobilized ligand or receptor within the test medium to promote an affinity binding reaction between the ligand and the target substance. The test medium with the magnetic particles in a suitable container is removably mounted in an apparatus that creates a magnetic field gradient in the test medium. This magnetic gradient is used to induce the magnetic particles to move, thereby effecting mixing. The mixing is achieved either by movement of a magnet relative to a stationary container or movement of the container relative to a stationary magnet. In either case, the magnetic particles experience a continuous angular position change with the magnet. Concurrently with the relative angular movement between the magnet and the magnetic particles, the magnet is also moved along the length of the container causing the magnetic field gradient to sweep the entire length of the container. After the desired time, sufficient for the affinity reaction to occur, movement of the magnetic gradient is ended, whereby the magnetic particles are immobilized on the inside wall of the container nearest to the magnetic source. The remaining test medium is removed while the magnetic particles are retained on the wall of the container. The test medium or the particles may then be subjected to further processing.

The low voltage electroporation field accumulates molecules at the surface of a cell, the appropriately high voltage field creates an opening in the cell, and the final low voltage field moves the molecule into the cell. The molecules may be DNA, portions of DNA, chemical agents, the receiving cells may be eggs, platelets, human cells, red blood cells, mammalian cells, plant protoplasts, plant pollen, liposomes, bacteria, fungi, yeast, sperm, or other suitable cells. The molecules are placed in close proximity to the cells, either in the interstitial space in tissue surrounding the cells or in a fluid medium containing the cells.

Abstract: A communications device is presented that allows dynamic bandwidth allocation of an unswitched data path based upon the current utilization of one or more switched data channels. The device operates over the local loop of a digital communications carrier, such as a T1 line, that has a variety of time division multiplexed channels. Each data channel can be configured to operate as a channel dedicated to carrying unswitched data on the unswitched data path, or as a switched channel. Switched channels maintain status information about their current status, allowing switched data communication when the channel's status is active, and permitting the unswitched data path to utilize the channel when the channel's status is idle. In one embodiment, channel status information is passed to a remote unit by altering a redundant robbed-bit signaling bit in a multiframe. In a second embodiment, channel status is determined by monitoring switching information that is already transmitted about the channel. In the second embodiment, a preset time delay is required to properly synchronize bandwidth switching. Unswitched data is transmitted over the switched data channels utilizing all bit locations other than the locations taken by the four robbed-bit signaling bits. A method for dynamically reallocating the bandwidth of an unswitched data path utilizing these same techniques is also presented.
