Title: Cellular arrays for rapid molecular profiling
Inventor: KALLIONIEMI OLLI
IPC: G16B40/00
Filed: 1999-02-24
Granted: 2003-01-23
Abstract: A method is disclosed for rapid molecular profiling of tissue or other cellular specimens by placing a donor specimen in an assigned location in a recipient array, providing copies of the array, and performing a different biological analysis of each copy. In one embodiment, the copies of the array are formed by placing elongated specimens in a three dimensional matrix, and cutting sections from the matrix to form multiple copies of a two dimensional array that can then be subjected to the different biological analyses. Alternatively, the array can be formed from cell suspensions such that identical multiple copies of an array are formed, in which corresponding positions in the copies of the array have samples from the same or similar specimen. The results of the different biological analyses are compared to determine if there are correlations between the results of the different biological analyses at each assigned location. In some embodiments, the specimens may be tissue specimens from different tumors, which are subjected to multiple parallel molecular (including genetic and immunological) analyses. The results of the parallel analyses are then used to detect common molecular characteristics of the tumor type, which can subsequently be used in the diagnosis or treatment of the disease. The biological characteristics of the tissue can be correlated with clinical or other information, to detect characteristics associated with the tissue, such as susceptibility or resistance to particular types of drug treatment. Other examples of suitable tissues which can be placed in the matrix include tissue from transgenic or model organisms, or cellular suspensions (such as cytological preparations or specimens of liquid malignancies or cell lines).

Title: Determination of leak and respiratory airflow
Inventor: BERTHON-JONES MICHAEL
IPC: A61M16/00
Filed: 1997-08-14
Granted: 2001-04-05
Abstract: Methods and apparatus for determining leak and respiratory airflow are disclosed. A pressure sensor (34) and a differential pressure sensor (32) have connection with a pneumotach (24) to derive instantaneous mask pressure and airflow respectively. A microcontroller (38) estimates a non-linear conductance of any leak path occurring at a mask (12) as being the low pass filtered instantaneous airflow divided by the low pass filtered square root of the instantaneous pressure. The instantaneous leak flow is then the conductance multiplied by the square root of the instantaneous pressure, and the respiratory airflow is calculated as being the instantaneous airflow minus the instantaneous leak flow. The time constants for the low pass filtering performed by the microcontroller (38) can be dynamically adjusted dependent upon sudden changes in the instantaneous leak flow.

Title: Pressure sensitive image transfer sheet
Inventor: EVANS ROBERT
IPC: G03F1/56
Filed: 1986-02-21
Granted: 1989-07-06
Abstract: There is described a photomechanical method for forming pressure sensitive transfer reproductions of color images, either single color or multicolor, upon a substrate involving the forming of a base coat protective layer on a substrate, applying one color ink layer on the base layer and a white ink overlayer on the one color ink layer. The surface of the white ink overlayer is powdered and a layer of photoresist composition is applied. The photoresist covered layered substrate is exposed to a light source through an image carrying photographic negative film to harden the photoresist at the imaged areas thereby forming a mask. Nonhardened photoresist composition areas along with their underlaying layers are removed using stepwise solvent development steps. The steps are repeated where different ink colors are to be applied to form a multicolored image. The final single color image or the final multicolor image, as the case may be, being thoroughly dried, finally coated with a pressure sensitive adhesive to form the image transfer sheet. Drying between each step of formation is essential.

Title: Black coatings on substrates
Inventor: JOHNSON CHRISTIAN EDGAR
IPC: C23C18/36
Filed: 1980-04-18
Granted: 1983-06-02
Abstract: The invention provides a method of producing an ultra-black surface coating, having an extremely high light absorption capacity, on a substrate, such as a metal, ceramic, glass, or plastic, the blackness being associated with a unique surface morphology consisting of a dense array of microscopic pores etched into the surface, as well as the resulting coated substrate. The method involves preparing the substrate for plating with a nickel-phosphorus alloy, as by cleaning and/or activating it, immersing the thus-prepared substrate in an electroless plating bath containing nickel and hypophosphite ions in solution until an electroless nickel-phosphorus alloy coating has been deposited on the substrate, and then removing the substrate, coated with the electroless nickel-phosphorus alloy, from the plating bath and washing and drying it. The dried substrate, coated with the electroless nickel-phosphorus alloy, is then immersed in an etchant bath consisting of an aqueous solution of nitric acid, wherein the nitric acid concentration ranges from a 1:5 ratio with distilled or de-ionized water to concentrated, until the coated surface of the substrate develops ultra-blackness, the blackness being associated with the surface morphology as described above. The resulting substrate, covered with the ultra-black coating is thereafter washed and dried. The ultra-black surface, which has a spectral reflectance on the order of about from 0.5 to 1.0% at wavelengths of light of about from 320 to 2140 nanometers, finds use as a solar collector in the field of solar energy.

Filed: 1994-03-11
Granted: 1996-02-22
Abstract: 2. Animal feed additives based on fermentation broth further contain, in addition to the additive, other fermentation broth constituents. Such products, after spray-drying, generally have an excessively low bulk density and/or are sticky. To granulate these products, processing aids have therefore been added, e.g. perlite or sawdust. Alternatively, such products have been dewatered by azeotropic distillation with paraffin oil to give granules. The object of the invention is a highly concentrated animal feed additive which, in particular, is to have a bulk density of at least 550 kg/m<3> and a standardisable active compound content. 2.2. By pelletising, stable granules can be produced from an animal feed additive-containing fermentation broth if the fermentation product is contained at at least 33% by weight. Granules can particularly readily be produced by pelletising if the pellets are built up of at least 30% by weight fine grain with at least 70% by weight having a particle size < 100  mu m. The biomass can be contained completely, in part or not at all in the granules. 2.3. Animal feed additives such as lysine, threonine or tryptophan, or containing fermentation broth products.

Title: Phosphate mineral-based reactive barrier containment system
Inventor: EIGHMY T TAYLOR
IPC: B09B1/00
Filed: 2000-07-13
Granted: 2003-04-03
Abstract: A phosphate mineral based reactive barrier system. Phosphate minerals are known to be sinks for heavy metal contaminants. The reactive barrier prevents the release of contaminants from waste materials, sediments or dredged materials via reaction with the contaminants at the interface between the barrier and the waste material, sediments or dredged material. The barrier is comprised of a phosphate mineral material where the form of the phosphate mineral is variable but primarily insoluble. This barrier is placed below, around, and/or on top of the contaminated materials such that the contaminated materials are completely enveloped, capped, or contained by a grout curtain. The barrier can be in a (i) slurry form, (ii) blended matrix form with other inorganic agents, or (iii) composite form with a geotextile or geofabric. These methods of construction can be used singly or jointly. In some cases, pH control may be used to optimize the chemical reactions within the barrier system. The barrier mechanism relies on the phenomena of adsorption, surface precipitation and co-precipitation of metal phosphate surface precipitates to chemically retard diffusion from the waste material. Immobilization may also occur secondarily when a small percentage of the phosphate minerals partially dissolve and the phosphate precipitates with metals to form metal phosphate precipitates in the pore water system of the reactive barrier. The contaminated wastes, sediments or dredged materials may have been subjected to solidification or chemical stabilization or other forms of treatment prior to disposal.
