Patent EP-1548731-A2 (EP)
Inventor: YAMAMOTO RYOSUKE
IPC: G11B19/12
Filed: 2004-12-09
Abstract: The present invention provides an optical disk
apparatus in which a first, second, third, and fourth
optical disks are selectively installed, the first
and second optical disks having different recording
film characteristics and both having a single-layer
recording layer, the third and fourth optical disks
having different recording film characteristics and
both having a double-layer recording layer. A control
section (420) determines which of the first to fourth
optical disks has been installed, on the basis of the
level of a reproduction signal from an optical head
(402). Recording media serving as the optical disks
are formed so that the light reflectances of a single-layer
L-H medium in an initialized state, an L0 layer
of a double-layer H-L medium in the initialized state,
and an L0 layer of a double-layer L-H medium in
an uninitialized state do not overlap the light
reflectance of a single-layer H-L medium in the
initialized state.

IPC: C12N1/06

Abstract: A lateral flow chromatographic assay format for the performance of rapid enzyme-driven assays is described. A combination of components necessary to elicit a specific enzyme reaction, which are either absent from the intended sample or insufficiently present therein to permit completion of the desired reaction, are predeposited as substrate in dry form together with ingredients necessary to produce a desired color upon occurrence of the desired reaction. The strip is equipped with a sample pad placed ahead of the substrate deposit in the flow stream, to which liquid sample is applied. The sample flows from the sample pad into the substrate zone where it immediately reconstitutes the dried ingredients while also intimately mixing with them and reacting with them at the fluid front. The fluid front moves rapidly into the final “read zone” wherein the color developed is read against predetermined color standards for the desired reaction. Pretreatment pads for the sample, as needed, (e.g. a lysing pad for lysing red blood cells in whole blood) are placed in front of the sample pad in the flow path as appropriate. The assay in the forma of the invention is faster and easier to perform than analogous wet chemistry assays. Specific assay for glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (“G-6PD”), total serum cholesterol, β-lactamase activity and peroxidase activity are disclosed

Abstract: La présente invention se rapporte à un système de communication sans fil capable de gérer des communications poste-à-poste (P2P). Selon un mode de réalisation, lorsque le système reçoit une requête de lancement d'un appel, il détermine si une communication P2P peut être établie entre les deux terminaux mobiles. Le système détermine également un mode de fonctionnement des deux terminaux mobiles pour la communication P2P. Si une telle communication peut être établie entre les deux terminaux mobiles et que les deux sont dans un mode permettant la communication P2P par défaut, le système établit la communication P2P entre les deux terminaux mobiles. D'autre part, si l'un des deux terminaux est en mode de sollicitation, le système transmet audit terminal mobile une sollicitation ainsi que des informations concernant les avantages des services de communication P2P. Si l'utilisateur du terminal mobile en mode de sollicitation choisit les services de communication P2P, le système attribue des ressources permettant d'établir une liaison P2P entre les deux terminaux mobiles. A la fin de la communication P2P, le système envoie des informations de facturation comportant une escompte aux terminaux mobiles.

Filed: 2005-01-05
Abstract: Improved systems and methods for navigating media via a user interface, such as a
user interface provided on a handheld or portable computing device, are provided. The
methods for navigating media of the invention extend the navigation experience by

context that is lost in one-dimensional hierarchical navigation experiences. In one
embodiment, the bi-axial navigation mechanism of the invention includes a drill down

Abstract: A tool (10) and method for abutting an individual floor panel which
is near an obstruction, such as a wall, to the assembled floor. The tool
and method provide a rod (12) having a flanged member (14) at one end.
The flanged member has a notch (20) in its vertical flange which
contacts the floorboard to be abutted, requiring a minimal amount of
space between the obstruction and floorboard to be set. A sliding weight
(28) mounted on the rod (12) can then be slid toward an impact surface
resulting in a horizontal force being applied to the individual
floorboard thereby abutting or setting that floorboard with respect to
the assembled floor. An especially useful application for the device and
method is in the installation of a tongue-in-groove laminate floor in
which the individual floorboards have a tongue and groove connection on
their ends.
