Patent CA-2298879-A1 (CA)
Inventor: NODA HIDEO
IPC: B01F15/00
Filed: 2000-02-15
Abstract: With a liquid ejection apparatus where a liquid-transporting body is attached to an agitator shaft, the liquid-transporting body is revolved about the agitator shaft, with the rotational speed being changed in accordance with a change in liquid depth. Hence ejection liquid ejected from an upper opening of the liquid-transporting body over a large ejection distance and in sufficient volume, is distributed onto the inner surface of the tank and/or into the space above the liquid surface, thereby washing the inner surface of the tank, maintaining the heat transfer area, dispersing a foam layer on the liquid surface, and promoting evaporation of liquid in the tank.

Inventor: SOSNOWSKI RONALD G
IPC: C12Q1/6876
Filed: 1999-02-12
Abstract: Methods and apparatus are provided for the analysis and determination of the nature of repeat units in a genetic target. In one method of this invention, the nature of the repeat units in the genetic target is determined by the steps of providing a plurality of hybridization complex assays arrayed on a plurality of test sites, where the hybridization complex assay includes at least a nucleic acid target containing a simple repetitive DNA sequence, a capture probe having a first unique flanking sequence and n repeat units, where n = 0, 1, 2..., or fractions thereof, being complementary to the target sequence, and a reporter probe having a selected sequence complementary to the same target sequence strand wherein the selected sequence of the reporter includes a second unique flanking sequence and m repeat units, where m = 0, 1, 2..., or fractions thereof, but where the sum of repeat units in the capture probe plus reporter probe is greater than 0 (n+m0). In accordance with this method, the sequence of the capture probe differs at least two test sites. The hybridization complex assays are then monitored to determine concordance and discordance among the hybridization complex assays at the test sites as determined at least in part by hybridization stability. Ultimately, the nature of the repeat units in the target sequence may be determined based upon the concordant/discordant determination coupled with knowledge of the probes located in the hybridization complex at that site. In one aspect of this invention, electronic stringency control may be utilized either during the initial hybridization phase, such as to aid in the proper indexing of hybridized materials, or during the concordance/discordance phase, or both. In yet another aspect of this invention, a system includes a plurality of sites wherein each site includes at least a probe having a first unique flanking sequence, a second unique flanking sequence and an intervening repeat unit series having a variable number of repeat units. The existence of loop-outs, or conditions of exact concordance, may be determined. Applications include paternity testing, forensic use, and disease diagnostics, such as for the identification of the existence of a clonal tumor.

IPC: G06Q30/02
Filed: 2001-02-02
Abstract: A method and system for data mining is disclosed in which advertising/promotional events (e.g., the fact that a promotion was taking place when the transaction was recorded) are factored into association analysis of the data. Sales data is integrated with advertising data and a plurality of taxonomies are employed to link the merchandise data with the advertising data. This enhances the data so that the advertising status (advertised or non-advertised) can be determined and this information can be used to track the impact of advertising on product dynamics in market baskets and on sales. Further, for those articles that are advertised, detailed information about the advertising used is also available and integrated into the analysis so that, for example, the effectiveness or lack of effectiveness of a particular advertisement can be determined.
