Abstract: A method for immunologically measuring antibodies specific to systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and a kit for the measurement are provided. The amount of antibody binding to a negatively charged substance through electrostatic affinity can be derived by allowing a humor to react with the negatively charged substance in at least three kinds of buffer solutions having different ion intensities so as to measure the binding amount of the antibody to the negatively charged substance in each buffer solution, and evaluating a difference between the minimum value of binding amounts and the maximum value of binding amounts at ion intensities lower than the ion intensity corresponding to the minimum value. The measurement method and the measurement kit enable a specific and easy measurement of autoantibodies binding to an antigen through electrostatic affinity, which are considered to be closely related to the pathosis of SLE, and a more accurate diagnosis of SLE.

Abstract: A pigment such as crystal violet is impregnated in or otherwise affixed to a translucent plastic or porous member (14, 22). The color change material changes at least one of opacity or color with repeated exposure to a fluid sterilant, such as an oxidant solution. A label (10, 24) is mounted behind the translucent plastic material and carries an indicia (12, 26). With repeated sterilizations of the instrument, the color change material becomes progressively more translucent, allowing the indicia to be read through the translucent plastic material. When the indicia becomes visible, such as after about 7 sterilization cycles in FIG. 3, the user is warned to discontinue use of the instrument, either discarding it or having it rebuilt. Rather than having a written indicia, a color scale (30) can be provided for comparison against the current color of the color change material. When the color changes to the discard color on the color scale, the user is again advised to discontinue use of or rebuild the instrument.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for automating the orientation of a selected mirror mounted on a vehicle. The apparatus comprises location apparatus for sensing the location of the driver's eyes, a computer controller, and a mirror positioning mechanism. The location apparatus may comprise various types of distance sensors and orientation detectors. The controller determines the desired orientation of the selected mirror based upon the position of the driver's eyes, known vehicle parameters and vision parameters, and generates control signals. The mirror positioning mechanism receives the control signals and positions the mirror in response thereto. The subject method includes the steps of determining the coordinates of the eyes of an individual using the mirror, determining the desired orientation of the mirror based upon these coordinates and the center point of the mirror and the reflected sightline vector, and then adjusting the orientation of one or more selected mirrors to enable the individual to see a pre-selected reflected sightline.

Abstract: The procedure has three stages, the first stage determines whether any tag is presenting one of the numbers possible in a group of codes. If a number exists it is stored and the other tags are temporarily blocked and passes to the next group of codes. On reaching the last group the code of the tag is reconstituted with the aid of stored numbers. During interrogation each of the tags replies in a time window determined as a function of the numbers in its group. The second stage is initiated as soon as any response is received, without waiting for other responses.
