Title: Method for preparing a sample in a scan capillary for immunofluorescent interrogation
Inventor: DUBROW ROBERT S
IPC: G01N33/49
Filed: 1995-09-22
Granted: 1999-04-22
Abstract: An assay and sample mixture for the enumeration of fluorescently stained target components of a whole blood sample by an imaging instrument. The sample preparation method ensures that the amount of target components per unit of volume of the whole blood sample is preserved by elimination of certain non-quantitative preparation steps while producing an even hematocrit layer within a scan capillary. Typical target components include white blood cells that express certain surface antigens, such as CD-4 and CD-8 proteins. To inhibit aggregation of the red blood cells, a reagent is added to an aliquot of whole blood sample. The aliquot of whole blood is mixed and with a preselected amount of a fluorescent dye and ligand complex which tags the target components. The sample and fluorescent complex are allowed to incubate a sufficient amount of time to bind enough of the fluorescent complex to the target components to provide a fluorescent signal from the target components which will be distinguishable from the fluorescent signal from the unbound fluorescent complex in the sample. The resulting mixture allows the imaging instrument to detect peak intensities of fluorescence from the target components, thereby allowing the target components to be volumetrically enumerated with an improved level of accuracy and efficiency.

Title: Hairspray with improved adhesion/removability upon washing
Inventor: SRAMEK JOHN A

Filed: 1989-06-01
Granted: 1991-07-25
Abstract: That which is disclosed is carboxyl radical containing resin hair setting or hair spray compositions possessing improved adhesion to the hair and which are more readily removed from the hair due to the use of certain long chain amine functional neutralizing agents containing a hydrophilic radical in addition to the amine radical as well as a long chain hydrocarbon radical such as lauryamidopropyl dimethylamine, polyoxyethylene (10) octadecylamine or a mixture of ether amines of the formula R6O(CH2)3NH2 where R is a hydrocarbon radical predominantly composed of C12 to C15 hydrocarbon radicals. Up to 40%, and preferably from 5% to 30%, of the moles of carboxyl radicals to be neutralized are neutralized with such a long chain amine and the remainder of the carboxyl radicals to be neutralized are neutralized with an amine or an alkanolamine such as aminomethyl propanol. More preferably, the compositions are hairspray compositions containing from about 10 to 80% by weight of a hydrocarbon-based aerosol propellant such an n-butane or isobutane. The long chain amine serves to improve the hydrocarbon stability of such hairspray resins.

Title: Method and apparatus for total energy fuel conversion systems
Inventor: ENNIS BERNARD P
IPC: F02C3/00
Filed: 1997-12-23
Granted: 2001-04-26
Abstract: An independent and conserved source of fuel and/or power comprises a top stage rocket engine firing up to 5000 F at very high pressures, delivering jet flows up to transonic velocities into a near adiabatic tunnel for mixing in general and/or for transforming reactants introduced to suit specific objectives. The related compression is supplied by an independent prime mover which compresses its exhaust and other recoverable fluids. Low grade flows, thereby upgraded in temperature and pressure, are adiabatically contained, are further upgraded in the tunnel to become part of the prescribed fuel for export at the tunnel ends; or fuel to be fired in a prime mover for electric or other power, or hydrogen for chemical use. Expansion turbines for this purpose are relieved of the load used to compress the excess air in standard gas turbines thus increasing export power. A portion of the expansion turbine's exhaust becomes part of recoverable fluids. When oxygen is used instead of air, the gases through turbines are nitrogen-free with more heat capacity reducing turbine inlet temperatures for the same power. When reactant transfonnation is specified, the larger water vapor content in the cycle enhances the water gas/shift autothermally for ammonia and/or power and alternatively for pyrolysis cracking for olefins and diolefins. Further, staging rocket engine reactors increases efficiency in boilers and steam turbines; and staging can produce sponge iron and/or iron carbide as well as expansion turbine power and fuel cells for peak and off-peak loads,
