Abstract: The invention relates to an analytical support for determining an analyte such as a DNA or RNA target, by carrying out a specific reaction of binding (hybridization) of said analyte with a ligand specific for this analyte, and determining the binding reaction by means of at least two fluorescent labels present on the analyte. This determination is carried out by applying an excitatory field and detecting the fluorescent emission of the various fluorescent labels. According to the invention, the support comprises a substrate coated with one or more layers of material(s) forming an assembly capable of decreasing or increasing the excitatory field for at least one of the fluorescent labels compared to the others. The ligands are attached to the final layer of the assembly. A layer of SiO<SUB>2 </SUB>on a substrate of silicon can be used with the fluorescent labels Cy3 and Cy5.

Abstract: The invention relates to a communication system comprising a first
communication means (201,211) for communicating to a first communication
unit (221) in a first area and a second communication means (203, 225) for
communicating to a second communication unit (229) in a second area. The
first communication means (201,211) determines that a message is a priority
message and communicates associated priority message information to the
second communication means (203, 225). The second communication means
(203,225) modifies a communication characteristic of the communication with
the second communication unit in response to the communication priority
message information such that interference to the priority message is reduced.
Specifically, transmissions may be ceased during the time interval in which
the priority message is transmitted. This results in reduced interference to the
priority message and thus increased reliability and reduced error rate.
