Title: Screening device and method of screening an immunoassay test
Inventor: JONES OSBORN PIERCE
IPC: G01N33/543
Filed: 1999-07-14
Granted: 2001-11-01
Abstract: A screening device for performing an immunoassay test to detect the presence of a compound in a body fluid. The device includes a holder for removably receiving a membrane to which the fluid has been applied. Light is directed to the membrane. A photodetector measures the concentration of the light reflected back from the membrane. Specifically, the concentrations of reflected light from a control zone and a test zone are measured. Signals representative of the measured light concentrations are applied to a processor. If a specified concentration of predetermined light from a control zone on the membrane is detected, the processor considers the test to be successful. In the test is successful, the processor, based upon the measured concentration of reflected light from the test zone, generates data representative of the presence of the compound.

Title: Annular metal casting unit
Inventor: WAGSTAFF FRANK EVERTON
IPC: B22D11/00
Filed: 1993-10-29
Granted: 1998-05-14
Abstract: As a reversal of previous practice, the annular body of the mold in the unit has an annular case at the bottom thereof, rather than at the top thereof. The case is relatively thick axially of the mold, so as to form the greater portion of the axial length of the mold body at the outer periphery thereof; and at the top thereof, the case has an annular plate thereon, which forms a pair of flanges that overhang the case and enable the metal casting unit to be lowered into an aperture of a casting table from above, and supported on top of the table at the flanges. Meanwhile, the case defines the lower end opening of the mold cavity, and the outlet for liquid coolant that is discharged onto the molten metal body as it emerges from the unit. Commonly, the case is monolithic, and also has an annular sump at the top thereof which is covered by the plate to form a chamber for the coolant in the sump. A graphite casting ring may be circumposed about the inner periphery of the case, to form a liner for the upper end portion of the cavity; and a refractory top ring may be circumposed about the upper end opening of the cavity, to form a hot top for the ring.

Title: Intermodulation product cancellation circuit
Inventor: RZYSKI EUGENE
IPC: H03F1/32
Filed: 2000-07-24
Granted: 2004-08-19
Abstract: A cancellation circuit is provided for canceling undesirable intermodulation (IM) products in electrical circuitry. The IM cancellation circuit includes a stepping spectrum analyzer which recognizes and measures the frequencies and amplitudes of different signal components of an RF signal across a desired frequency band. This information is forwarded to a processor which contains look-up tables or the like which provides information relating to the frequencies and/or amplitudes of signal components which are intended to reside in the RF signal. By comparison of the look-up tables to the frequencies and amplitudes measured and recognized by the sweeping spectrum analyzer, the processor of the cancellation circuit is able to determine whether the signal components in the RF signal are intended "information" carrying signals or unintended IM products. Where the processor has determined that a signal component is an unintended IM product, the processor controls a variable voltage controlled oscillator and variable amplifier to create a cancellation signal having an identical frequency and amplitude as the frequency and amplitude of the IM product. A phase shifter is provided to shift the phase of the cancellation signal 180° with respect to the IM product and the cancellation signal is combined with the RF signal to produce an output signal having the IM product canceled.
