Abstract: A fluorometer for sensing the fluorescence of a sample utilizes an optical energy source for exciting a sample to be tested and an optical energy detector for detecting the emitted energy from the excited sample. Drive electronics are used for positioning the sample with respect to the optical components allowing a plurality of sample regions to be tested. A processor is utilized to control the operation of the test in accordance with test instructions and for processing the emitted energy detected from the sample to determine test results. A ROM chip socket accepts a plurality of ROM chips, wherein each ROM chip stores test data sets for one or more test types to be performed. ROM chips can be swapped to allow the fluorometer to be configured and reconfigured to perform a plurality of different tests. A communications interface facilitates the sharing of test information between the fluorometer and external entities.

Abstract: The raw data obtained in the electrode fixing points are digitized by means of an A/D converter and orthogonalized. The vector values of voltage U are determined on the basis of the orthogonalized raw data. The artifacts are eliminated using a so-called 'moving average' procedure, i.e. continuos means value formation. The differential quotient dU/dt is calculated on the basis of the corrected vector values of voltage U and the zero crossings are determined. Said zero crossings make it possible to exactly distinguish depolarization (classified as QRS in the ECG) from repolarization (classified as STT in the ECG) and their duration. The method also makes it possible to subdivide the STT segment into three autonomous parts, which was impossible until now: their duration and potential. This has led to new knowledge in heart diagnosis. Said data is then made available to be used as signals for controlling the on-line heart equipment, as data for recording diagrams, for extrapolation and for the production of a fully computerized heart diagnosis.

Abstract: A susceptor composition that can bond two or more layers or substrates to one another and that can be used to coat a cut substrate. The susceptor composition is activated in the presence of radio frequency (RF) energy. In one embodiment, the susceptor composition of the present invention comprises a susceptor and a carrier. The carrier and susceptor are blended with one another and form a mixture, preferably a uniform mixture. The susceptor is present in an amount effective to allow the susceptor composition to be heated by RF energy. In a preferred embodiment, the susceptor also functions as an adhesive. The susceptor is an ionic or polar compound and acts as either a charge-carrying or an oscillating/vibrating component of the susceptor composition. The susceptor generates thermal energy in the presence of an RF electromagnetic or electrical field (hereafter RF field). According to the present invention, the susceptor can be an inorganic salt (or its respective hydrate), such as stannous chloride (SnCl2) or lithium perchlorate (LiC1O4), or an organic salt, such as lithium acetate (LiC2H3O2). The susceptor can be a non-ferromagnetic ionic salt. The susceptor can also be a polymeric ionic compound ("ionomer") which preferably also functions as an adhesive and/or coating. Under RF power levels of about 0.5 kilowatt (kW) to 1kW, and frequencies of about 1 to 100 MHz, the susceptor composition of the present invention facilitates the bonding of single layers of polymeric materials such as polyolefins, non-polyolefins, and non-polymeric materials, as well as multilayer stacks of these materials.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a teat cup liner for milking domestic animals such as cows and goats. The liner includes: an opening into which an animal's teat may be inserted; an outlet for discharging milk from the animal; a teat engaging portion with annular walls; and a collapsible portion having relatively thinner inner walls and seals for a teat cup shell between which lies all of the collapsible portion so a vacuum pressure may be applied to a teat cup assembly to milk the animal. The distance from the opening to a point at which the collapsible portion collapses is sufficient so that the collapsible portion collapses substantially away from the animal's teat. The collapsible portion has an elongate cross section, there being a tapering section between the teat engaging portion and the collapsible portion. The tapering portion has outer and inner walls, the thickness of which tapers more gradually along a minor cross-sectional axis than along a major cross-sectional axis, so that the tapering section may collapse gently on the teat as the collapsible portion collapses.

The catheter includes a shaft with a heat exchange region disposed at its distal end. This region may include hollow fibers which are adapted to receive a remotely cooled heat exchange fluid preferably flowing in a direction counter to that of the body fluid. The hollow fibers enhance the surface area of contact, as well as the mixing of both the heat exchange fluid and the body fluid. The catheter can be positioned to produce hypothermia in a selective area of the body or alternatively positioned to systemically cool the entire body system.

The dense skin (11) makes it possible to deposit a thin slip-coating of a low friction material longitudinally upon a chosen portion of the surface. An extruded weatherseal for the glass of an automobile's window has the slip-coating deposited as a thin film on a contacting strip of a surface which is in contact with the glass.

Abstract: Novel and efficient syntheses create novel piperazinone intermediates which facilitate the production and use of PNAs. Such syntheses and the products enhance the feasibility of a system which permits the rapid identification of PNA oligomers useful as therapeutics, diagnostics and/or gene characterization tools. A first component of the system is a universal PNA library that most preferably incorporates one or more universal nucleotide bases into carefully selected positions within each oligomer species thereby providing the library with the screening ability of a much larger library. The second component of the system is a high throughput screening system that includes a number of assays designed to provide information on the binding activities of the different PNAs to a target nucleotide sequence (generally, a DNA or RNA sequence). The third component is a software system especially designed to provide rapid analysis of the data collected from the high throughput screening system and to determine therefrom the sequence base identities and sequence lengths of PNA oligomers most likely to bind to and appropriately affect the target molecule.
