Patent EP-1138782-B1 (EP)
Inventor: JAESCHKE ANDRES
IPC: C12Q1/6858

Abstract: The invention relates to the simultaneous analysis of variations in distinct nucleic acid sequences within a complex nucleic acid mixture. The invention consists in the use of chips with spatially separated fields of photocleavable oligonucleotide probes which are commonly processed together with the target sequences and thereby modified in a sequence-dependent way. The probes are cleaved and analyzed by laser desorption mass spectrometry. This allows highly parallel and nevertheless sequence-specific reactions within a single reaction mixture. Since the photocleavable oligonucleotide probes are placed on a substrate in a spatially defined manner, e.g. in the form of an array, a specific target sequence can be assigned a unique position on the oligonucleotide chip. Since the photocleavable probes are covalently immobilized on the solid surface, the detection reaction can be performed directly on the chip while preserving the probe position pattern. Due to the presence of a photosensitive residue within the probes, these can be controlled photolytically after the detection reaction so that a mass spectroscopic analysis can then be carried out. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An arrangement for coding digital symbols and transmitting them through at least two antennas. A coder reads at least two symbols belonging to the same transmission block and forms channel symbols of the symbols of the transmission block by means of a block code. The coder multiplies at least one symbol belonging to the transmission block by a first nonzero weighting coefficient and at least one symbol belonging to the transmission block by a second nonzero weighting coefficient, and the division ratio of the first and second weighting coefficients differs from values ±1, ±j and ±1/sqrt(2). The thus formed channel symbols are transmitted to the radio path through the antennas.

Abstract: In a method, computer program and system for determining an operational limit of a power transmission line,   time-stamped current phasor information and voltage phasor information for a first end and a second end of the line are determined, an ohmic resistance of the line is computed from the phasor information, and an average line temperature is computed from the ohmic resistance.   This allows to determine the average line temperature without dedicated temperature sensors. The average line temperature represents the actual average temperature and is largely independent of assumptions regarding line parameters. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The present invention provides an apparatus for sensing biometric information in a finger with piezo ceramic elements. In one embodiment, the apparatus includes an array of discrete piezo ceramic elements and filler. The array of discrete piezo ceramic elements is responsive to acoustic characteristics of parts of the finger. The filler is distributed between the discrete piezo ceramic elements and provides acoustic attenuation and electric isolation between the discrete piezo ceramic elements. A protective layer can receive a ridge pattern of the finger positioned proximate to the array. Air in valleys between ridges of the ridge pattern of the finger acts as an acoustic barrier. A backing layer (air or foam) can also be provided.

Abstract: A new and useful nonaqueous liquid pigment dispersion is provided which is easy to handle and produces thorough and effective colorations within target media, particularly as compared to standard solid pigments or high-viscosity liquid pigment dispersions. More specifically, the present invention relates to liquid pigment dispersions possessing viscosities of at most 5,000 centipoise at standard temperature and pressure. Such a low viscosity is obtained through the addition of relatively low amounts of aprotic viscosity modifiers possessing dipole moments of at between about 1.0 and 5.0, alternatively measured in terms of a flash point between about -20° C. and 180°, such as, most preferably cyclic carbonates. The resultant low-viscosity pigment compositions thus can be incorporated into any standard pigment-coloring method (such as, for example, polyurethane, polyolefin, and the like) without the problems associated with traditionally utilized solid or thickened, high viscosity pigment materials. The method of coloring such target media is also encompassed within this invention.
