Patent EP-1258882-A2 (EP)
Inventor: KO JUNG-WAN
IPC: G11B/
Filed: 1999-12-15
Abstract: A recording medium for storing start position
information for each zone and a method for managing data
using the information are disclosed. In a disc having a
plurality of zones (201) which form a group, and a spare
area (204) which is allocated at the start portion or the
end portion of the group for replacing defects, when start
logical sector numbers of each zone are changed by
slipping replacement during initialization or
reinitialization, the information is stored in the defect
management area to thereby increase the compatibility of
the medium. In particular, by the method for managing
data using information stored in a defect management area,
generation of errors is prevented in reading or writing
due to the change of a physical position of a real-recorded
file which are caused by wrong calculation of the
start logical sector numbers for each zone.

Abstract: An energy efficient desalination process that does not produce waste products involves the extraction of water from a first solution (10, 12), such as seawater, by using a second concentrated solution (18) to draw the water from the first solution (12) across a semi-permeable membrane (16). By manipulating the equilibrium of the soluble and insoluble species of solute within the second solution (18) in favor of the soluble species of the solute, a saturated second solution can be used to generate osmotic pressure on the first solution (12). Also, by adjusting the equilibrium in favor of the less soluble species after the water has been drawn from the first solution (12), a portion of the solute can easily be precipitated out. Heating the second solution (18) decomposes the solute into its constituent gasses. The constituent gasses and precipitated solute may be recycled through the process to affect the changes in equilibrium and eliminate waste products. Additionally, by using the waste steam from industrial sources and a heat pump to effectively distribute heat through the present method, the present method exhibits greater energy efficiency than prior art methods.

Abstract: Dipping test strip assay system, method for the construction of said test strip system, and method for the detection and/or determination of specific nucleic acid sequences by the use of assay hybridization protocols developed on said test strip system. Colloidal gold particles conjugated to oligonucleotides are dried on the strip, and the protein Streptavidin, as well as an oligonucleotide is immobilized at the membrane area of the strip. A specific nucleic acid sequence is detected when a visible signal indicative of the presence or absence of the analyte is developed at the region of the Streptavidin's immobilization, while the completion of the assay is confirmed by the development of a visible signal at the region of the oligonucleotide's immobilization. The dipping test strip assay system is useful for the rapid detection or determination of specific nucleic acid sequences in a sample, such as specific viral or bacterial nucleic acid sequences, as well as mutated DNA sequences of clinical significance, after the amplification of the specific nucleic sequence in the sample through a PCR reaction.
