Abstract: Compression forces (F) in a rotary tablet compressing machine (40) are monitored and controlled to provide enhanced accuracy in determining peak compression value and continuous validation of a compression waveform. The compression waveform is repetitively sampled under computer control at a sampling frequency that is many times the frequency of the compression events. The samples are stored in a computer memory (26) until at least one complete compression event is recorded. Identification of beginning and ending samples of an individual tablet compression event are obtained from the waveform itself by locating minimum amplitude samples, or by use of a separate signal that is derived from a transducer which is responsive to the angular position of a rotating turret. Stored samples representing the compression waveform as time and amplitude data are passed to a processor (23) that statistically fits the data to an equation form which represents the ideal shape of a compression event. If the quality of the data fit falls below a preset value, the tablet associated with that coefficient is subsequently rejected by a mechanism that is activated by the computer (26), which records the event as a waveform error. A counter (25), having a user selectable maximum threshold, is incremented each time a tablet is rejected from the same punch pair as a result of a waveform error. If the maximum count threshold is reached, then the tablet compressing machine (40) is stopped by the computer (26) and a message identifying the faulty punch pair is displayed.

Abstract: The invention relates to methods and compositions for simultaneously generating a plurality of polynucleotide sequencing ladders or PCR amplification products. Each sequencing ladder is generated from a recoverable primer, i.e., an oligonucleotide primer comprising a recovery tag. The recovery tag may be an oligonucleotide. Each sequencing ladder has a unique recovery tag. After the generation of the multiple sequencing ladders, the different sequencing ladders are separated from one another, i.e., purified, by binding to recovery tag binding compounds that have been immobilized on one or more solid supports. The recovery tag binding compounds are immobilized on the solid support in an addressable manner, i.e., the recovery tag binding compounds have distinct locations on the solid support. The binding of the sequencing ladders to the recovery tag binding compounds serves to separate the different polynucleotide sequencing ladders present in a given solution. The separated sequencing ladders may then be released from the immobilized recovery tag binding compounds and subsequently resolved into individual components of the sequencing ladders or PCR products. The subject methods of separating sequencing ladders simultaneously generated in the same vessel may readily be adapted to separate a plurality of simultaneously generated polynucleotide amplification products. Other aspects of the invention are kits for the generation or recovery of a plurality of polynucleotide sequencing ladders or amplification products. The kits comprise a plurality of recoverable primers having unique recovery tags. Preferably, the recovery tags are polynucleotides that have substantially the same denaturation temperature when bound to appropriate recovery tag binding compounds, i.e., the primers comprise an integrated set. The kits may further comprise recovery tag binding compounds. The kits may further comprise labeled chain terminators. Other aspects of the invention include polynucleotide recovery devices.

Abstract: A patient replica is created from a layered culture medium where solid culture medium is formed so that a discontinuity exists between the layers. An infusion port is provided in registration with the discontinuity so that a fresh unadulterated sample of patient blood can be infused into the discontinuity to form a thin layer of blood between the layers of culture medium. The thin layer obviates the requirement for any anticoagulant allowing blood-borne pathogens to be readily cultured without using broth. Further antibiotics or other drug samples may be placed on the surface of the culture medium above the blood layer so that the antibiotic can diffuse through the culture medium and reveal the sensitivities of the cultured pathogens. Other samples of pathogens or tissues can be placed on the surface of the culture medium so that effects of drugs or growth factors present in the patient blood can be observed thereby allowing the entrapped blood layer to act as a biological replica of the patient.

Abstract: Skin friction reduction on a surface moving relative to a fluid can be obtained by conditioning (i.e., unwinding, lengthening, or stretching) and ejecting a drag-reducing material, such as a polymer or other high molecular weight material, into the boundary layer. The efficacy of the ejected material is closely related to the hydration and shear stretching of the drag-reducing molecules immediately before ejection. The invention is a method and apparatus for creating a mixture/solution with optimal drag reduction characteristics. The device mixes a drag-reducing substance such as polymer powder, paste, solution or emulsion with a water flow, stretches the polymer molecules to improve hydration, and provides uniform vorticity to the mixture/solution before it is passed into an ejection system. By creating a mixture/solution with improved drag-reduction performance from any of several forms of drag-reducing material, the mixer can improve the performance and reduce the volume and storage requirements of a drag-reduction system.
