Patent EP-1012578-A1 (EP)
Inventor: KAIN ROBERT C
IPC: G01N21/64
Filed: 1998-01-29
Abstract: A sample substrate (51, Fig. 4A) for use in a fluorescence imaging system (Fig. I) includes a rigid base with a specularly reflective surface, typically metal, on which is deposited a transparent coating layer (53). The coating layer has a thickness selected so that a particular fluorescence excitation wavelength, corresponding to a specified fluorescent constituent to besought in sample material, has an optical path from the top of the coating layer to the reflecting surface in the base of substantially an odd multiple of one-quarter wavelength, so that the standing wave of the fluorescence excitation wavelength of light incident of the substrate has an antinode (61) located at or near where sample material would be disposed on top of the coating layer. This maximizes fluorescence excitation of the sample on the reflective substrate. The transparent coating layer may be a dielectric material (e.g. silica) or may be a multilayer structure with a top layer of biologically active material for binding a specified sample constituent.

Abstract: This invention provides a novel class of vitamin D related compounds, namely, the 2-alkylidene-19-nor-vitamin D derivatives, as well as a general method for their chemical synthesis. The compounds have the formula: where Y1 and Y2, which may be the same or different, are each selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and a hydroxy-protecting group, R6 and R8, which may be the same or different, are each selected from hydrogen, alkyl, hydroxyalkyl and fluoroalkyl, or when taken together represent the group -(CH2)x- where x is an integer from 2 to 5, and where the group R represents any of the typical side chains known for vitamin D type compounds. These 2-substituted compounds are characterized by low intestinal calcium transport activity and high bone calcium mobilization activity resulting in novel therapeutic agents for the treatment of diseases where bone formation is desired, particularly low bone turnover osteoporosis. These compounds also exhibit pronounced activity in arresting the proliferation of undifferentiated cells and inducing their differentiation to the monocyte thus evidencing use as anti-cancer agents and for the treatment of diseases such as psoriasis.

Title: In vitro peptide or protein expression library
Inventor: LINDQVIST BJORN H
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 1998-02-18
Abstract: The present invention relates to methods of producing peptide or protein expression libraries. In such a library, a population of nucleotide sequences is expressed. The resulting peptides or proteins encoded by those nucleotide sequences are then screened to identify those peptides or proteins having a desired property such as the ability to bind a selected ligand. In the construction and screening of such libraries, it is desired to ensure that the nucleotide encoding a particular protein remains connected in some way with that protein so that once a desired protein having a selected property has been isolated, its encoding nucleotide sequence may be specifically recovered for subsequent manipulation for example using PCR or sequencing. The present invention makes use of a property not previously described in constructing an expression library namely the use of proteins which covalently bind DNA. DNA is expressed in such a way that the protein so expressed binds to its own encoding DNA therefore allowing the DNA to be associated only with its encoding protein.

Abstract: Ce circuit de détection du niveau du noir compare un signal vidéo d'entrée avec une valeur minimale actuelle de signaux vidéo d'entrée, détecte une différence entre le signal d'entrée et cette valeur minimale, lorsque la valeur d'entrée est plus petite que la valeur minimale, produit ensuite la différence détectée seulement pendant une période de détection du niveau du noir, puis corrige la valeur minimum à l'aide de cette différence produite, afin de renouveler la valeur minimale actuelle, et finalement produit cette valeur minimale renouvelée en tant que nouvelle valeur minimale du signal vidéo d'entrée. Ce circuit de détection du niveau du noir verrouille la valeur minimale lors de l'impulsion de suppression verticale et initialise la valeur minimale lors de la période de suppression verticale, de façon à détecter un niveau du noir du signal d'entrée. En tant que tel, ce circuit de détection du niveau du noir mesure le niveau du noir seulement pendant une période vidéo, ce qui a pour effet de réduire les erreurs de détection dues aux bruits, et une initialisation automatique de la valeur minimale lors d'une période de suppression peut contribuer à une détection plus stable du niveau du noir. Il est possible d'utiliser efficacement le niveau du noir détecté en tant que signal de commande de la qualité d'image pour chaque champ ou chaque trame.

Abstract: An oil from water separator has an oil disengagement chamber adapted to receive an oil and water mixture and retain it for a sufficient time in a relatively undisturbed state so that oil in the mixture floats to the top of the mixture. This results in a substantially oil free volume of water having a layer of oil derived from said oil and water mixture floating on the surface of the mixture. The oil disengagement chamber is partially separated from an effluent water chamber by an under flow baffle which ducts said substantially oil free volume of water to the effluent water chamber. The oil disengagement chamber has a low liquid level which is higher than the under flow baffle. The outflow of the substantially oil free volume of water from the effluent water chamber is limited to a rate of outflow which is a function of the head of the liquid in the effluent water chamber. The outflow is limited by a siphon which primes at a chamber high liquid level and loses prime at said chamber low liquid level, or by holes in a weir wall.
