Abstract: The invention provides non-affinity based isotope tagged peptides, chemistries for making these peptides, and methods for using these peptides. In one aspect, tags comprise a reactive site (RS) for reacting with a molecule on a protein to form a stable association with the peptide (e.g., a covalent bond) and an anchoring site (AS) group for reversibly or removably anchoring the tag to a solid phase such as a resin support. Anchoring may be direct or indirect (e.g., through a linker molecule). Preferably, the tag comprises a mass-altering label, such as a stable isotope, such that association of the tag with the peptide can be monitored by mass spectrometry. The reagents can be used for rapid and quantitative analysis of proteins or protein function in mixtures of proteins.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a medicament injection apparatus. It is desirable following injection of a medicament to wait a short time before withdrawing the needle unit from the patient to allow injected medicament to disperse within the patient to reduce the risk of some of the injected medicament escaping through the needle wound and so not being dispersed into the patient as desired. This problem is particularly acute where a patient uses the apparatus to self-administer a dose since, where this waiting period is indicated to a user, the waiting period is a set time independent of whether the size of the dose to be injected. The user often feels that for a small dose it is not as important to leave the needle unit within the body for the full waiting period and so does not allow the waiting period properly to elapse. A medicament injection apparatus is disclosed wherein signal means actuated by a processor for signal the end of a predetermined period of time elapsing from the end of the injection operation wherein the predetermined period of time elapsing is dependent upon the amount of the medicament injected. This has as an advantage the giving of a user confidence that the waiting period for each dose size is important and should be respected.

Abstract: A transmitter arrangement is disclosed in which a step-up frequency mixer (7), which converts a modulation signal into a transmission frequency range, is arranged within a phase lock loop PLL (10). The phase lock loop (10) comprises a frequency divider (13) to which the modulation data together with channel preset data is transmitted for compensation purposes.

Abstract: Consistent with an example embodiment, there is a method for calibrating an N terminal microwave measurement network. The method including the measurement of network parameter values of a load device depends on the knowledge of the parasitic impedance of the load device. According to the example embodiment, the accuracy of the method is improved by at least approximately determining the parasitic impedances of the load device. This may be achieved by measuring network parameter values of an auxiliary open device, having substantially identical parasitic impedance as that of the load device. The accuracy is further increased by measuring network parameter values of an auxiliary short device, having substantially identical parasitic impedance as that of the load device. A similar principle can be used for de-embedding a device under test. A load device, an auxiliary open device and an auxiliary short device each having substantially identical parasitic impedances are disclosed.

Abstract: An outsole ( 1, 3 ), in particular, for athletic shoes ( 2 ) can be realized with a significant elastic deformability in the tangential direction so as to also achieve a superior shock-absorption when the foot contacts the ground obliquely and with a slight propulsive force. According to the invention, the sole ( 1 ) essentially is only rigid to a tangential deformation beyond at least one critical point of deformation in the region that is deformed to this critical point. This results in a correspondingly increased stability for the runner in the respective point of contact or load application. The runner is also able to push off from the point of load application without any loss in distance. A floating effect on the sole is prevented. The sole can be affixed, as a whole or in a plurality of parts, also detachably to an intermediate sole ( 4 ) of the shoe ( 2 ).
