Abstract: Containers for the determination of cell functions which are easy of operation and less dangerous and enable the determination with
high accuracy. Specifically, a container for the determination of cell functions to be used in analyzing physiologically active substances
produced by hemocytes, which is constituted in such a way that the amount of materials inducing the production of the physiologically active
substances is lowered to such a level as not to cause hemocytes to produce the substances, as determined by extracting the container with
water in an amount equal to that of a blood sample to be analyzed; and another container therefor, wherein materials which induce the
production of the substances when brought into contact with blood are placed in a state capable of coming into contact with blood, and the
amount of the materials in the container is lowered so as not to affect the analysis of the substances.

Abstract: An electrospray ionizer which enables the operator to adjust the position of the glass
capillary with respect to the metal tube to which a high voltage is applied while the sample
solution is being nebulized and ionized at the fore end of the glass capillary. The electrospray
ionizer is composed of: a glass capillary for allowing the sample solution to flow out from its
fore end; a metal tube surrounding the fore end part of the glass capillary for generating an
irregular electric field at around the fore end of the glass capillary; a first pipe, or a guide
pipe, made of a non-conductive material for holding the back end of the metal tube and
extending backward; a second pipe, or a seal pipe, for loosely holding the glass capillary
further back along the first pipe; and a joint for connecting the first pipe and the second pipe.
Consequently, the position of the glass capillary is loosely fixed with respect to the metal tube.
Thus by manipulating the back end of the glass capillary to slide the glass capillary in the
second pipe, it is possible to change the position, or the length of the extension  d , of the fore
end of the glass capillary with respect to the metal tube. This enables the operator to adjust
the extension  d  so that the amount of ions generated at the fore end of the glass capillary is
at its maximum while the electrospray ionizer is working and the metal tube has a high
voltage applied to it, whereby the sensitivity of the liquid chromatograph using the electrospray
ionizer of the present invention is greatly improved.

Title: Method for compensating  distortions in a capacitive circuit and its use in matrix displays
Inventor: MAURICE FRANCOIS
IPC: G09G3/36
Filed: 1998-05-13
Abstract: The procedure enables capacitive coupling compensation to be applied to a circuit with a primary conductor held at a first given potential, and a secondary conductor generating perturbations by capacitive coupling with the primary. A compensation bus (e, e') provides compensation for the capacitively coupled perturbations on the first conductor by a capacitance C1, where C1 =  (Cej + Ce'j). The procedure involves measuring the voltage (Vcomp) and the current (Icomp) on the compensation bus, and calculating the voltage (Vpert) on the first perturbed conductor. A calculation is then made to determine the reference voltage to be applied to the compensation bus in order to compensate for the perturbation.

Abstract: A method of predicting the level of the HbA 1C  component of
glycosylated haemoglobin in a patient's blood. A mathematical
model is derived which predicts the behaviour of the HbA 1C 
component level relative to the blood glucose level using
previously measured HbA 1C  and blood glucose levels. The
model is updated each time a new HbA 1C  level is measured
using that new measurement and recent new blood glucose
level measurements. The updated model is then applied to
predict the HbA 1C  level, between measurements of that level,
using measurements of blood glucose level obtained since the
last HbA 1C  measurement.
