Abstract: A process is provided for the removal of hydrogen sulfide out of a gas stream by contacting the hydrogen sulfide contaminated gas with a solution of chelated metal catalyst, such as iron EDTA, in a scrubbing vessel so as to result in a cleaned gas and a scrubbing solution containing elemental sulfur and a reduced chelated metal catalyst. A portion of the hydrogen sulfide contaminated feed gas is branched off from the rest of the hydrogen sulfide contaminated feed gas, at a location upstream of the scrubbing vessel, and injected into a bisulfide generating vessel where it is contacted with an aqueous caustic solution, such as an aqueous solution of potassium hydroxide, wherein the hydrogen sulfide reacts with the caustic solution to result in a cleaned gas and a solution containing bisulfide ions. The solution containing bisulfide ions and the scrubbing solution containing elemental sulfur and reduced chelated metal catalyst are both injected into an oxidation vessel where they are contacted with an oxygen containing gas which oxidizes the reduced chelated metal catalyst back into its reactive oxidation state and also oxidizes the bisulfide ions into thiosulfate ions. The regenerated scrubbing solution containing reactive chelated metal catalyst and thiosulfate ions are recycled back to the scrubbing vessel for further contact with the hydrogen sulfide containing gas. The thiosulfate ions protect the chelated metal catalyst from degradation.

Abstract: An image sensor and method of sensing an image provides a variable amplifier at each pixel, thereby expanding the dynamic range of the sensor. An image sensor core (500) comprises a plurality of pixel sensors (510). Each pixel sensor preferably includes a photosensitive element (310), a variable amplifier (312), and an analog-to-digital converter ("ADC") (314). The ADC (512) includes a comparator (512) coupled to a latch/shift register (514). The comparator (512) receives the output of the variable amplifier (312) and a ramp signal and produces an output when the ramp signal exceeds the amplifier (312) output. The latch/shift register (514) latches a count signal corresponding to the ramp signal when triggered by the comparator (512). In operation, the photosensitive element (310) is exposed to light for a first integration period. The variable amplifier (312) amplifies the resulting photocharge by the maximum possible amount. The ADC (314) converts the photocurrent to a digital signal and latches the five most significant bits in memory (514). These five bits are provided in parallel to the variable amplifier (312) to set the amplification level. Then, the photosensitive element (310) is exposed to light for a second integration period and the resulting photocharge is amplified at the set amplification level. The output of the amplifier (312) is digitized by the ADC (314) and the latch/shift register (514) stores the 12-bit result. The five bits selecting the amplification level and the 12-bit result provide the image sensor with 17 bits of dynamic range.

Abstract: Methods of producing cyclic peptides and splicing intermediates of peptides in a looped conformation are disclosed. The methods utilize the trans-splicing ability of split inteins to catalyze cyclization of peptides from a precursor peptide having a target peptide interposed between two portions of a split intein. The interaction of the two portions of the split intein creates a catalytically-active intein and also forces the target peptide into a loop configuration that stabilizes the ester isomer of the amino acid at the junction between one of the intein portions and the target peptide. A heteroatom from the other intein portion then reacts with the ester to form a cyclic ester intermediate. The active intein catalyzes the formation of an aminosuccinimide that liberates a cyclized form of the target peptide, which spontaneously rearranges to form the thermodynamically favored backbone cyclic peptide product. Also disclosed are nucleic acid molecules, polypeptides, methods for making cyclic peptides, methods of making libraries, and methods of screening peptides.

Abstract: A system for enabling Data Network Telephony (DNT) communication through a WEB page includes a Web server hosting an interactive WEB page and having an Internet port, a link in the WEB page adapted for launching a DNT-capable telephone module, and a DNT-capable telephone module associated with the link. In this system, upon selection of the link by a person accessing the WEB page over the Internet using a computer platform, an instance of the IP telephone module is downloaded to computer platform, and an IP call is launched to an IP address pre-stored and associated with the link. The DNT network may be the Internet. In a preferred embodiment the system first investigates the computer platform for hardware and software characteristics, and attaches the determined characteristics to the instance of the IP telephone module to be downloaded. The downloaded module then self-launches and configures, and then launches the associated call. In some embodiments the module disappears after a single call, and thus serves as an instant enabler for IP telephony.

Abstract: A catheter includes a first plurality of expandable leads and a second plurality of expandable leads separate and longitudinally spaced-apart from the first plurality to deliver energy to a hollow anatomical structure, such as vein, fallopian tube, hemorrhoid, esophageal varix, to effectively ligate that structure. Each of the leads includes an electrode located at the distal end of the respective electrode lead. Polarizations of the leads may be selected to achieve the power distribution desired. Each electrode lead includes an outward bend such that when a movable sheath is moved out of contact with the leads, they expand outwardly into apposition with an inner wall of the structure to be ligated. High frequency energy can be applied from the leads to create a heating effect in the surrounding tissue of the anatomical structure. The diameter of the hollow anatomical structure is reduced by the heating effect, and the electrodes are freely moved inward by the shrinking structure while still maintaining apposition with the inner wall of the shrinking structure.
