Patent EP-1200630-A1 (EP)
Inventor: SIGRIST HANS
IPC: C12Q1/6825
Filed: 2000-07-10
Abstract: The present invention provides a simplified method for identifying differences in nucleic acid abundances (e.g., expression levels) between two or more samples. The methods involve providing an array containing a large number (e.g. greater then 1,000) of arbitrarily selected different oligonucleotide probes where the sequence and location of each different probe is known. Nucleic acid samples (e.g. mRNA) from two or more samples are hybridized to the probe arrays and the pattern of hybridization is detected. Differences in the hybridization patterns between the samples indicates differences in expression of various genes between those samples. This invention also provides a method o end-labeling a nucleic acid. In one embodiment, the method involves providing a nucleic acid, providing a labelled oligonucleotide and then enzymatically ligating the oligonucleotide to the nucleic acid. Thus, for example, where the nucleic acid is an RNA, a labeled oligoribonucleotide can be ligated using an RNA ligase. In another embodiment, the end labelling can be accomplished by providing a nucleic acid, providing labelled nucleoside triphosphates, and attaching the nucleoside triphosphates to the nucleic acid using a terminal transferase.

Abstract: Provided is a manufacturing process for a semiconductor
wafer according to which semiconductor wafers each with higher
flatness can be manufactured with good efficiency from a wafer work
having passed through a surface grinding step by enabling restriction
of reduction in flatness in the vicinity of the center and in the outer
peripheral edge portion of a surface ground wafer at the lowest level
possible, and correction of the reduction in flatness of both portions
with ease to planarize in a planarization or polishing step. When a
semiconductor wafer fixed on a chuck table is surface ground using a
cup shaped grinding wheel, the semiconductor wafer is ground toward
the center thereof such that the grinding wheel cuts into the
semiconductor wafer at the outer peripheral edge thereof and moves
away from the semiconductor wafer at the central portion thereof and
the ground semiconductor wafer is planarized according to a PACE
method.

Abstract: The cause of damage occurring in a distribution
process is analyzed promptly and adequately. A damage
status analyzing system (1) has a storage section (2) that
stores damage information on cars including damaged
position information, together with distribution
attributes obtained during transportation, a damage
status analyzing section (3) that analyzes the status of
damage for each distribution attribute on the basis of the
damage information, and a presentation section (4) that
presents the results of the analysis. While determining
damaged positions indicated by X and Y coordinates, damage
information such as the type and level of damage and
distribution attribute information obtained during
transportation can be accumulated. In analyzing the
tendency and characteristic, of damage such as the status
and position thereof in distribution processes, it is
important to visually more precisely determine the status
of the damage. Accordingly, the image status analyzing
system (1) enables prompt and adequate determination.

Abstract: The invention relatrs to a wide-meshed fabric (1) treated with bonding agents. The inventive mesh is made up of bundles (4) consisting of several warop threads (3) and bundloes (6) consisting of several weft threads (5) surrounding the inner meshes (7). The warp threads (3) are interwoven with the weft threads (5) at intersection points (5) of the bundles (4) of warp threads and bundles (6) of weft threads (5) running at right-angles to each other. In order to firmly secure the warp threads and the weft threads, the bundles (4) of warp threads are divided into a first group (4') of warp threads and a second group (4'') of warp threads and the first group of warp threads crosses over the second group of warp threads threads belonging to the same bundle (4) of warp threads for each mesh (7) thereby forming a half-twist. Similarly, the warp threads (3) of both groups (4', 4'') of warp threads are interwoven with the weft threads (5), running substantially parallel to each other. Mesh fabrics of the a<bove-mentioned kind can be used to reinforce ground surfaces, road surfaces, layers of mortar and the like, in addition to use in poultry farming and use as fishing nets.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a wireless, voice-activated remote control device for controlling an electronic device having voice control circuitry. A short-range range wireless data and voice communication link, for example using Bluetooth technology, is established between the remote control device and the electronic device. To activate voice control circuitry in the electronic device, a user supplies an input to the remote control device. In response to the user input, wireless link circuitry within the remote control device sends a control signal, for example an AT command, to the electronic device. The electronic device receives the control signal and transmits a control signal indicating the status of the electronic device. Once the voice control circuitry is activated, the user provides a voice command to the remote control device. The remote control device transmits the voice signal to the electronic device over the wireless communication link. The electronic device processes the voice signal in the voice control circuitry and generates instructions in response to the voice signal if recognized. The voice control circuitry is advantageously located within the electronic device and not within the remote control device to simplify the remote control device and to minimize the amount of power dissipated in the remote control device.

Abstract: An optical surface in close proximity to a person's pupil for correcting presbyopia, a method for obtaining that optical surface, and a laser surgery system to carry out the method are provided. The optical surface includes a first vision area, a second vision area surrounding the first area, and a third vision area surrounding the second vision area, the first vision area having a first substantially single power, the second vision area having a range of powers, the third vision area having a second substantially single power distinct from the first single power, at least one of the first, second and third vision areas having an aspheric surface, and the other areas having spherical surfaces. The method includes reshaping the cornea to obtain this optical surface. The cornea may be reshaped on the anterior or an underlying surface by ablation or collagen shrinkage, wherein the ablation is performed by applying an excimer laser, surgical laser, water cutting, fluid cutting, liquid cutting or gas cutting technique. The method also includes obtaining this optical surface by placing a contact lens having the desired optical characteristics on the cornea. The laser surgery system includes a laser beam generator and a laser beam controller to regulate the beam striking the cornea to remove a selected volume of corneal tissue from a region in an optical zone of the cornea with the ablative radiation, thereby forming a reprofiled region which has a first vision area, a second vision area surrounding the first area, and a third vision area surrounding the second vision area.

Abstract: The invention relates to a veneer slicing machine. The output of prior art veneer slicing machines is limited by virtue of the fact that the slideways quickly heat up at a maximum stroke rate. As a result, the maximum permissible temperature of 120° C. is quickly reached thereby making it necessary to shut down the machine in order to permit the slideways to cool. The inventive veneer slicing machine should be able to be used in continuous operation at a maximum stroke rate and thus function without resulting in a loss in quality. To this end, cooling means are arranged on the slideways ( 16 ) and are provided in said slideways ( 16 ) e.g. in the form of borings ( 21 ) through which the coolant circulates whereby enabling heat to be carried away in a well-directed manner.
