Abstract: The present invention provides a screening method by which a prediabetic state can be more accurately determined and many test samples can be treated without physical burden on patients, and a diagnostic reagent used for it. <??>By measuring a D-mannose concentration, preferably a D-mannose concentration and a glucose concentration, in a body fluid collected from a subject, and comparing them with their respective standard values, a patient in a prediabetic state can be detected. Further, the measurement of the mannose concentration is conducted by allowing an enzyme having an oxidizing activity on mannose by dehydrogenation to react on the mannose in a sample in the presence of an electron acceptor, and quantitatively determining the formed reductant of the electron acceptor. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A device is disclosed that enables a physician to remotely perform a physical examination of a patient. The device includes a hand control unit (100) that is shaped to accommodate a physician's hand, and includes a number of sensory modulation subunits (140) that can simultaneously detect applied pressure and exert pressure back to the physician. The hand control unit (100) connects through a computer (160) to a remote patient examination module (200) interfaces with a remotely located patient, preferably by wrapping around the portion of the patient's body that is to be examined. The patient examination module (200) includes a plurality of sensory modulation subunits (240) arranged in an array forming a flexible pad (202). In operation the sensory modulation subunits (240) of the patient examination module (200) receive a signal from the hand control unit (100) that indicates the location and magnitude of pressure's applied to the hand control unit (100) by the physician, and replicates that pressure in the patient through the sensory modulation subunits (240), which simultaneously detect the responsive pressures exerted by the corresponding portions of the patient's body. The magnitude and location of these responsive pressures are converted to a digital signal that is fed back to the hand control unit (100) sensory modulation subunits (140), providing the physician with a tactile response simulating direct contact with the patient.

Abstract: A range of a wavefront sensor is extended by focusing collimated light onto a lenslet array, an output creating a grid formed by edges of the lenslets and a reference spot in the members of the grid. Each reference spot has a known relationship to the grid member and a centroid. A relationship between the reference centroids is determined. Next a wavefront emanating from an eye is focused onto the lenslet array, with the output from the lenslet array forming the grid and aberrated eye spots thereon, each eye spot having a centroid. A relationship between the eye spot centroids is determined. One known relationship between one reference centroid and the centroid of one eye spot is identified. Finally, at least some of the remaining relationships between the reference centroids and the eye spot centroids are determined. The determined relationships provide a measure indicative of the eye aberration.

Abstract: Techniques for supporting handoff of a terminal between base stations of different protocol revisions (P REVs) in a CDMA system. The terminal is handed off from a first base station (with a first P REV) to a second base station (with a second P REV) while it is in an active (data or voice) call with the first base station. The second P REV is later than the first P REV. The active call may be maintained between the terminal and second base station using a first service configuration previously established via the first base station for the active call. A second service configuration may be established via the second base station for the active call. This may be achieved by (1) querying the terminal, (2) assignment by the second base station, or (3) initiation by the terminal. The active call may then be maintained using the second service configuration if available.
