Abstract: This invention provides processes for isolating particles from an emulsion including
the steps of: (a) forming an emulsion having a solid component having a population of
particles, a liquid component, and a first ionic forming compound, wherein the presence of
the first ionic forming compound in the emulsion does not result in the coagulation of the
population of particles contained therein; (b) obtaining a composition having a second ionic
forming compound which, by itself, is not sufficient to result in the coagulation of the
population of particles contained in the emulsion; and (c) mixing the emulsion and the
composition having the second ionic compound such that the first ionic forming compound
reacts with the second ionic forming compound to form a coagulating agent which results in
the coagulation of the population of particles. The invention also provides processes for
preparing a polymer matrix system using the aforementioned process for isolating particles
from an emulsion. In these processes, the plastic matrix system is prepared by adding, to a
plastic resin, the emulsion and the composition having the second ionic forming compound,
such that the first ionic forming compound reacts with the second ionic forming compound to
form a coagulating agent which results in the coagulation of the population of particles.

IPC: G01N33/86
Filed: 2003-08-29
Abstract: A method for determining the acceptability of signal data collected from a
prothrombin time (PT) test strip includes collecting PT signal data from an assay area and
control areas of the PT test strip. Relationships between PT signal data collected from the
assay area and PT signal data collected from each of the control areas (e.g., a ratio of post-peak
pseudo-slopes) are then ascertained. A determination is subsequently made, based on
the relationships, as to whether the PT signal data collected from the assay area is
acceptable or not for use in calculating a PT and/or an International Normalization Ratio
(INR). This determination can include, for example, comparing the relationships to at least
one predetermined threshold limit. A prothrombin time (PT) monitoring system includes a
PT test strip and a device. The PT test strip includes an assay area and a control area. The
device (e.g., a portable hand-held meter) includes an optical measurement means (e.g., an
LED/photo-detector pair) for measuring an optical property (e.g., absorption) of the assay
area and control areas, an analog-to-digital converter module, a microprocessor module
and a memory module. The optical measurement means, analog-to-digital converter
module, microprocessor module and memory module are adapted to (i) collect PT signal
data from the assay area and control areas; (ii) ascertain at least one relationship between
PT signal data collected from the assay and control areas and (iii) determine, based on the
at least one relationship, whether the PT signal data collected from the assay area is
acceptable.

Inventor: ARAKAWA TAKEHARU
IPC: H04W88/02
Filed: 2003-09-12
Abstract: When information is acquired, also information concerning the current date and time is required. Time information concerning the term of validity or the like included in the information previously acquired is read by the communication possibility determining section (485). If the current data is not over the term of validity, it is determined that the communicating operation can not be executed. When the term of validity has expired, it is determined that the communicating operation can be executed. When it is determined that the communicating operation can be executed, the set processing section (483) controls the terminal communication section (410) to execute the processing for acquiring information from the main server device (300) or the like. With the configuration, increase of processing load and communication cost due to execution of unnecessary communicating operations can be prevented, and efficient information acquisition can be performed.

Abstract: L'invention concerne la communication de données dans un système à accès multiple par répartition dans le temps dans lequel les données sont émises par voie hertzienne entre des stations (MS1-MS6; BS1-BS3) dans des créneaux temporels. Les créneaux temporels sont agencés en trames d'une structure de répétition de trame. Les stations (MS1-MS6; BS1-BS3) sélectionnent, de façon autonome, des créneaux temporels afin d'émettre des données selon un algorithme d'émission auto-organisateur, permettant à une première station (MS1) de réutiliser un créneau temporel attribué à une seconde station (MS2-MS6, BS2, BS3). Selon l'invention, un message adressé (MM1Adr) est envoyé d'une première station de base (BS1) vers une station mobile (MS1). Cette station émet un accusé de réception (AckM1B1) en réponse au message adressé (MM1Adr) afin de confirmer la bonne réception du message (MM1Adr). Si en raison, par exemple, d'une charge de trafic importante, l'accusé de réception (AckM1B1) ne peut être reçu directement par la première station de base (BS1), la station mobile (MS1) envoie ce message (AckM1B1), via une seconde station de base (BS2), à une entité de gestion de message (MHE) d'un réseau (N), responsable de l'émission du message adressé (MM1Adr). L'entité de gestion de message (MHE) peut être constituée soit par un noeud séparé du réseau (N), soit être intégrée dans la première station de base (BS1). Grâce à la solution proposée, il est possible d'éviter des émission répétées du message adressé (MM1Adr), qui sont inutiles, et en conséquence de sauver de la largeur de bande hertzienne appréciable.
