Abstract: A polyaniline is characterized by a nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum in its leuco form showing only two 13C peaks, indicating the substantal absence of chain branching, and preferably by a molecular weight (Mp) above 90,000 and up to about 170,000 (more especially 100-140,000). Oriented films of such polyanilines in the protonated emeraldine oxidation state have electrical conductivities up to at least around 500 S/cm. They may be made by oxidizing aniline in aqueous solution with a persulfate under the combination of conditions that the acidity of the solution throughout the reaction is such that if its temperature is adjusted to 20 DEG  C. it will have a pH in the range from about -0.2 to +3.0; that the temperature of the solution is in the range from -5 DEG  to about -40 DEG  C.; that the solution contains at least sufficient inert ionic solute to maintain it in the liquid state; and that the persulfate is added to the solution always at a rate corresponding to a total addition time of at least six hours (but preferably not over 36 hours) and in a molar ratio to the aniline in the range from 1.1:1 to 1.4:1.

Abstract: A method for analyzing nucleic acid obtained from a cell sample on a platform is described. A platform having a cell selector, a nucleic acid selector, and an array of microlocations, wherein at least one microlocation has an associated capture sequence, is provided. The cell selector is contacted with a cell sample, wherein a portion of the cells remain associated with the cell selector. At least a portion of cells associated with the cell selector are lysed to release a nucleic acid sample. The nucleic acid selector is then contacted with the nucleic acid sample, such that a portion of the nucleic acid sample remains associated with the nucleic acid selector. The associated nucleic acid sample is then released from the nucleic acid selector and then is contacted with the array of microlocations, such that at least a portion of the released nucleic acid sample hybridizes with the capture sequence.

Abstract: A field disturbance sensor operates with relatively low power, provides an adjustable operating range, is not hypersensitive at close range, allows co-location of multiple sensors, and is inexpensive to manufacture. The sensor includes a transmitter that transmits a sequence of transmitted bursts of electromagnetic energy. The transmitter frequency is modulated at an intermediate frequency. The sequence of bursts has a burst repetition rate, and each burst has a burst width and comprises a number of cycles at a transmitter frequency. The sensor includes a receiver which receives electromagnetic energy at the transmitter frequency, and includes a mixer which mixes a transmitted burst with reflections of the same transmitted burst to produce an intermediate frequency signal. Circuitry, responsive to the intermediate frequency signal indicates disturbances in the sensor field. Because the mixer mixes the transmitted burst with reflections of the transmitted burst, the burst width defines the sensor range. The burst repetition rate is randomly or pseudorandomly modulated so that bursts in the sequence of bursts have a phase which varies.

Title: Connector with insert molded captive ball
Inventor: CHAMBERLIN JAMES B
IPC: F16C11/06
Filed: 1996-04-18
Granted: 1999-12-22
Abstract: A connector assembly with a connector body molded directly about a captive ball formed on a separate shaft, where the shaft and connector are attached to separate bodies which move relative to each other. This assembly retains an essentially zero clearance fit between the ball and the connector so as to prevent rattling between the parts from vibrations. This zero clearance fit is achieved at a much lower cost than comparable quality connectors due to higher diametric tolerances for the ball component. Higher diametric tolerances do not affect the final fit because the connector is molded directly about the ball.

Abstract: A multilayer composite tubular structure (10) for use as a stent in surgical procedures has an outer layer of biocompatible material (12), a middle layer of radiopaque material (14), and an inner layer of biocompatible material (16). The layers are metallurgically bonded, to form a composite stent (10) which is ductile and permits large deformation without delamination between the biocompatible (12, 16) and radiopaque layers (14). The composite structure (10) formed is visible on a fluoroscope, yet does not obstruct the details of the stent (10) itself, or of the anatomical features surrounding the stent (10). A process of forming a multilayer composite tubular structure (10) is also disclosed.  A tube formed from radiopaque material (14) is coaxially surrounded by a tube of biocompatible material (12, 16). The tubes are simultaneously reduced, such as by tube drawing, swaging, or deep drawing, until a composite structure (10) of a desirable diameter and wall thickness is formed. The tubes are then heat treated to cause diffusion bonding of the biocompatible (12, 16) and radiopaque layers (14).

Abstract: The present invention relates to a fire suppression system and method in which an extinguishing agent is automatically discharged from a limited source of supply of the wet chemical extinguishing agent for rapid extinguishment of the fire, followed by water application to the locus of the fire from an unlimited source of supply of water. The subsequent automatic application of water provides rapid cooling of the hot burning material below its reflash temperature. The present hybrid system exploits the best fire suppression properties of both agents against fires i.e. the wet chemical extinguishing agent provides rapid flame extinguishment and water provides rapid cooling following extinguishment. The present hybrid system is significantly more robust (fire test variables are less critical to its fire suppression performance) than current water or wet chemical agent systems. <IMAGE>
