Inventor: KARGER BARRY L
IPC: G16B40/30
Filed: 1999-04-14
Abstract: A method of analyzing DNA fragments separated electrophoretically is presented. The method includes the use of an expert system that interprets raw or preprocessed signal from the separation. The expert system can be used for real-time base-calling, or applied offline after data acquisition is complete. The expert system is directly applicable to all types of electrophoretic separation used for DNA sequencing, i.e. slab gel, capillary and microchip. Each lane of a multiplex system can consist of 1 to 4 (or even more) different fragment labels. The expert system may also be used with other base-coding schemes, such as those in which more than one base is labeled with a given dye, but the amount of label is different for each base. When the presently disclosed method is applied to DNA sequencing, the resulting interpretation comprises a DNA base sequence with numerical confidences assigned to each base. By use of the presently disclosed method the degree of automation of data processing in high-throughput DNA sequencing is improved, as is the quality of the results.

Patent CA-2330113-A1 (CA)
Title: Rotary electrical machines
Inventor: PULLEN KEITH ROBERT
IPC: H02K21/00
Filed: 1999-04-23
Abstract: A rotary electrical machine comprising a stator (10) and at least one rotor (12) having a plurality of permanent magnets (14). The rotor consists of a rotor disc, at the outer edge of which the permanent magnets are mounted. The rotor disc (12) is provided with airgap varying means (19) which are angled towards the stator (10) and mounted on the rotor hub (24) for rotation therewith. When the rotor is stationary, the airgap (30) between the magnets (14) and the stator (10) is at a minimum. In operation, as the speed of rotation of the rotor (12) increases, a centrifugal force is generated which acts to bend the airgap varying means (19) and, therefore, the rotor disc (12) back, away from the stator (10), thereby drawing the magnets (14) away from the stator and increasing the size of the airgap (30). The increase in size of the airgap results in a corresponding decrease in flux and therefore a decrease in the maximum output voltage for that rotor speed. In this way, the output voltage of the machine is kept substantially constant. A stationary iron ring (32) may be provided on the stator (10) to assist in drawing away flux as the size of the airgap is increased.

Abstract: In a gas- and steam-turbine plant (1) having a heat-recovery steam generator (30), which is connected downstream of the gas turbine (2) on the flue-gas side and whose heating surfaces are connected in the water/steam circuit (24) of the steam turbine (20), a gasifier (132) is connected upstream of the combustion chamber (6) of the gas turbine (2) for the integrated gasification of a fossil fuel (B). Oxygen (O2) can be fed to the gasifier (132) from an air-separation unit (138), to which in turn a partial flow (T) of air compressed in an air compressor (4) assigned to the gas turbine (2) can be admitted on the inlet side.

Title: Method of determining the deterioration of a catalytic converter for purifying an exhaust gas
Inventor: SATOH TADASHI
IPC: F02D41/02
Filed: 1999-07-05
Abstract: A behavior of an exhaust system (E) is implemented by modeling the exhaust system (E) containing a catalyst device (3), a first emission gas sensor (5) (air/fuel ratio sensor) on the upstream side of the catalyst device (3) and a second emission gas sensor (6) (O2 sensor) on the downstream side thereof. During the operation of an internal combustion engine (1), parameters to be set for a model of the exhaust system (E) are sequentially identified based on output data from the emission gas sensors (5, 6) and the deterioration condition of the catalyst device (3) is judged based on the identified value data. In addition, in parallel with the deterioration condition judging, a target air/fuel ratio of the internal combustion engine (1) is sequentially determined so as to converge an output from the emission gas sensor (5) to a preset target value and an air/fuel ratio of the engine (1) is controlled so as to converge an output (air/fuel ratio detection value) from the first emission gas sensor (5) to the target air/fuel ratio to thereby ensure an optimum purifying performance of the catalyst device (3), whereby it is possible to judge the deterioration conditions of the catalyst device (3) in various operating conditions of the internal combustion engine (1).

Title: Apparatus and method for maintaining and/or restoring viability of organs
Inventor: OWEN DONALD R
IPC: A61J3/00
Filed: 1999-09-29
Abstract: An organ perfusion apparatus and method for monitoring, sustaining and/or restoring the viability of the organ and for preserving the organ for storag e and/or transport perfuse the organ at normothermic temperatures (normothermi c perfusion mode), preferably prior to and followed by organ perfusion at hypothermic temperatures (hypothermic perfusion mode) for transport and/or storage of the organ. The restoring of organ viability is accomplished by restoring high energy nucleotide (e.g., ATP) levels in the organ, which were  reduced by warm ischemia time, by perfusing the organ with a medical fluid, such as an oxygenated cross-linked hemoglobin-based bicarbonate medical flui d, at normothermic temperatures. In the normothermic perfusion mode, organ perfusion pressure is preferably controlled in response to a sensor disposed  in an end of tubing placed in the organ, by a pneumatically pressurized medical fluid reservoir which may be used in combination with a stepping motor/cam valve which provides for perfusion pressure fine tuning, preventin g overpressurization and providing emergency flow cut-off. In the hypothermic mode, the organ is perfused with a medical fluid, preferably a simple crystalloid solution augmented with antioxidants, intermittently or at a slo w continuous flow rate. The medical fluid may be fed into the organ by gravity  from an intermediary tank which has alow pressure head so overpressurization  of the organ is avoided. In either mode, preventing overpressurization prevents and/or reduces damage to the vascular endothelial lining and to the  organ tissue in general. Also, viability of the organ may be automatically monitored in either mode, preferably by monitoring fluid characteristics of the medical fluid that has been perfused through the organ, such fluid characteristics being indicative of organ viability. The perfusion process c an be automatically controlled using a control program.
