Abstract: Filtration cells capable of direct sampling of a fluid from a container and which may be used for microfiltration of both small and large microvolumes of a fluid to be filtered are provided. Also a process for directly transferring a fluid to be filtered from a container to a filtration cell is described. The filtration cells have one or more reservoirs and are in communication with fluid in a container to be filtered through a piercing instrument connected to a base and support for a reservoir that receives the fluid to be filtered after it passed across a filter membrane. The filtration cell may then be pressurized and vented to allow fluid to be filtered to reciprocally and tangentially pass across a filter membrane between either a container having a fluid to be filtered and a single reservoir for small volume filtrations or between two reservoirs after pressurizing a fluid to be filtered into the reservoirs from a container using a piercing instrument. Side wells for collecting samples from the bottom up from the filtration cell outlet are also provided as are a process incorporating automated equipment for transferring the container having fluid to be filtered to the piercing point for entry into the filtration cell.

Abstract: A method for producing a stable aqueous resin dispersion composition. In the method, a monomer mixture containing a carboxyl monomer having a carboxyl group and a hydrophobic monomer is first prepared. The monomer mixture contains 10 to 75% by mole of the carboxyl monomer. Then, the monomer mixture is subjected to radical polymerization at 180 to 350 DEG C to produce a macromonomer. The macromonomer is neutralized. The neutralized macromonomer has an ethylenically unsaturated bond at least at one end. Using the neutralized macromonomer as an emulsifier, a vinyl monomer is subjected to emulsion polymerization in an aqueous solvent. Thus, a substantially uniform aqueous resin dispersion composition is produced. Even when a solvent is added to this aqueous resin dispersion composition, the emulsion state of the dispersion is maintained. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method for non-contact measurement of dimensions such as thickness or diameter and electrical characteristics of an electrically conductive object (6) based on electromagnetic induction and a time-varying magnetic field. A substantially constant current is supplied to at least one transmitter coil (3) such that an electromagnetic field penetrates the object (6). Current to the transmitter coil (3) is cut off and a voltage induced in at least one receiving coil (8) by at least one decaying magnetic field. The voltage in receiving coil (8) is measured from a first time following decay of a magnetic field in the air (T3) until a time when the field has decayed to zero (T4, T5, T6) and the signal is integrated. A value for a physical dimension of the object (6) is calculated from this integral. The method is accurate, undisturbed by surface contamination or object movement, and applicable to different geometric forms including plate, bar or tube.

Abstract: The invention relates to methods for the identification of novel receptors and/or novel ligands. The invention is based on the concept that parasites have developed a number of biologically active compounds in their saliva to cope with the defense mechanisms of the host organisms on which they feed and to manipulate the biological functions of host molecules to their advantage. These saliva compounds can be used to identify novel molecules within the host systems. Furthermore, these saliva compounds can be used to elucidate the functions of molecules whose existence is already known.

Abstract: A transfer case includes an input shaft (50), an output shaft (40), and a gear set (48) selectively operable to translate torque between the input and output shafts at reduced speeds. A clutch (84) is operable to translate torque between the input and output shafts either directly or through the gear set. An actuator (100), having a rotational output, is operatively coupled to the clutch for moving the clutch between predetermined positions. A control unit is employed in connection with the transfer case to effect the method of synchronizing low to high shifts in the transfer case. To this end, the control unit calculates the speed of the actuator as it moves the clutch to a neutral position. The control unit further determines the additional time until the clutch will reach a predetermined synchronization point using the speed of the actuator and the remaining rotational distance through which the actuator must move for the clutch to reach the predetermined synchronization point. The control unit is further operable to stop the actuator when the clutch has reached the synchronization point for no longer than a predetermined time. The control unit then senses and compares the rotational speeds of the input and output shafts and signals the actuator to complete the shift from low to high by moving the clutch to provide direct torque translation between the input and output shafts when the difference in the rotational speeds of the input and output shafts is less than a predetermined value. <IMAGE>
