IPC: G01N21/77
Filed: 1998-10-06
Granted: 2010-06-02
Abstract: A microsphere-based analytic chemistry system is disclosed in which self-encoding microspheres having distinct characteristic optical response signatures to specific target analytes may be mixed together while the ability is retained to identify the sensor type and location of each sensor in a random dispersion of large numbers of such sensors in a sensor array using an optically interrogatable encoding scheme. An optical fiber bundle sensor is also disclosed in which individual microsphere sensors are disposed in microwells at a distal end of the fiber bundle and are optically coupled to discrete fibers or groups of fibers within the bundle. The identities of the individual sensors in the array are self-encoded by exposing the array to a reference analyte while illuminating the array with excitation light energy. A single sensor array may carry thousands of discrete sensing elements whose combined signal provides for substantial improvements in sensor detection limits, response and signal-to-noise ratios.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel process for preparing sol-gel microcapsules loaded with up to 95% (w/w) functional molecules or substances and to the products obtained by said process. Said process is conducted in two steps: (a) creating an oil-in-water emulsion by emulsification of a water insoluble solution comprising the sol-gel precursors and the molecules to be loaded, in an aqueous solution under appropriate shear forces; (b) mixing and stirring said emulsion with an aqueous solution at a suitably selected pH to obtain loaded sol-gel microcapsules in suspension. The microcapsules so obtained can further be subjected to cycles of isolation and rinsing. Incorporation of the final product, either in the form of a suspension or a powder, in cosmetic formulations affords a transparent cream when applying to skin and has a smooth and pleasant contact.

Abstract: Attachment of a bridge (18) and temple hinge (32) to the lens (12) of eye glasses. The attachment is accomplished by providing a pair of apertures (30) of a selected configuration in each lens adjacent to the outer and inner surface of the lens, a bushing (24) conforming to the lens apertures with a tapered aperture through the center thereof from front to back and tapering the distal ends of the bridge and temple hinges. This combination when in place in the lenses apertures provides a friction lock between the lens and the bridge and temple hinge. The taper can be in the range of 1 to 45 degrees. In another embodiment the lens can also have a tapered aperture either convergent from the front to the back of the lens or divergent from the front to the back of the lens. Ideally a taper of 4.5 degrees in the bushing is preferable with less taper in the lens apertures when tapered lens apertures are utilized. The taper can take the form of a frusto conic section, a cylinder, a rectangular or triangular in cross section. The distal ends of the bridge and temple hinge can be inserted either from the front of the lens toward the back or from the back toward the front. The distal ends of the temple hinge can be inserted directly into the aperture within the bushing for attachment or can additionally be bent formed to provide a bias between the outer surface of the lens adjacent the aperture for non rotational support. In some applications a notch is provided at the outer lens surface and the bent formed portion of the temple hinge is nested therein for additional mechanical support and to increase the resistance of relative rotation of the bridge or temple hinge.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and a device for measuring the pressure p in an eye, the so-called intraocular pressure. The method includes a contact body with a known geometry being pressed against the eye with a gradually increasing contact force F and that when the area of deformation of the eye A can be determined, the pressure can be obtained from the relation P=F/A, whereby the frequency characteristic of a contact body associated with a sensor system oscillating in resonance is read, the contact body is pressed against the eye to form a new system oscillating in resonance, the contact force and frequency characteristic for the new system is read, and the change in frequency characteristic is calculated. In this way, the pressure of the eye can be determined since the sought deformation area A is a function of the change A(fich ar!). The device has a contact body (4) for pressing against the eye (1) and a means (3) of determining the force with which the contact body is pressed against the eye, whereby the contact body (4) is part of a system oscillating in resonance, and the resonance system is connected to a means (9) for reading the frequency characteristic of the system.

Abstract: A universal folding method that has been demonstrated to be effective in refolding a variety of very different proteins expressed in bacteria as inclusion bodies has been developed. Representative proteins that can be dissolved and refolded in biologically active form, with the native structure, are shown in Table I. The method has two key steps to unfold and then refold the proteins expressed in the inclusion bodies. The first step is to raise the pH of the protein solution in the presence of denaturing agents to pH greater than 9, preferably 10. The protein solution may be maintained at the elevated pH for a period of up to about 24 hours, or the pH immediately decreased slowly, in increments of about 0.2 pH units/24 hours, until the solution reaches a pH of about 8.0, or both steps used. In the preferred embodiment, purified inclusion bodies are dissolved in 8 M urea, 0.1 M Tris, 1 mM glycine, 1 mM EDTA, 10 mM beta-mercaptoethanol, 10 mM dithiothreitol (DTT), 1 mM redued glutathion (GSH), 0.1 mM oxidized glutathion (GSSG), pH 10. The absorbance at 280 nm (OD280) of the protein solution is 5.0. This solution is rapidly diluted into 20 volumes of 20 mM Tris base. The resulting solutin is adjusted to pH 9.0 with 1 M HCl and is kept at 4° C. for 24 hr. The pH is adjusted to pH 8.8 and the solution is kept at 4° C. for another 24 hrs. This process is repeated until the pH is adjusted to 8.0. After 24 hr at pH 8.0, the refolded proteins can be concentrated by ultrafiltration and applied to a gel filtration column for purification.

Abstract: A voice recognition system applies speaker-dependent modification functions to acoustic feature vectors prior to voice recognition pattern matching against a speaker-independent acoustic model. An adaptation engine matches a set of acoustic feature vectors X with an adaptation model to select a speaker-dependent feature vector modification function f( ), which is then applied to X to form a modified set of acoustic feature vectors f(X). Voice recognition is then performed by correlating the modified acoustic feature vectors f(X) with a speaker-independent acoustic model.

Abstract: Methods and systems for sub-pixel rendering with gamma adjustment are disclosed. The gamma adjustment allows the luminance for the sub-pixel arrangement to match the non-linear gamma response of the human eye's luminance channel, while the chrominance can match the linear response of the human eye's chrominance channels. The gamma correction allows the algorithms to operate independently of the actual gamma of a display device. The sub-pixel rendering techniques disclosed with gamma adjustment can be optimized for a display device gamma to improve response time, dot inversion balance, and contrast because gamma correction and compensation of the sub-pixel rendering algorithm provides the desired gamma through sub-pixel rendering. These techniques can adhere to any specified gamma transfer curve. Processing data for a display including pixels, each pixel having color sub-pixels, comprises receiving pixel data. Once the pixel data is received, processing data for a display includes converting the pixel data to sub-pixel rendered data, the conversion generating the sub-pixel rendered data for a sub-pixel arrangement including alternative red and green sub-pixels on at least one of a horizontal and vertical axis. Next processing data for a display includes correcting the sub-pixel rendered data if a condition exists and outputting the sub-pixel rendered data.
