IPC: C12Q1/22
Filed: 2001-10-25
Abstract: This invention relates to a container and method for detecting a specific environmental parameter or combination of parameters, or for determining the effectiveness of a sterilization procedure. The invention relates to test indicators containing controlled volumes of compressed, gas-permeable materials, and modified caps comprising one or more apertures, sterilant permeable inserts, protruding members, or a combination thereof, and to methods for using test indicators for determining the efficacy of different types of sterilization processes. If proper sterilization conditions are not met, the interactive enzyme system remains active, and a color product forms upon the addition of the remaining components of the enzyme system. If the proper sterilization conditions are met, the sterilant destroys the interactive enzymes and no color product is formed. Inactivation of the enzyme system parallels the inactivation of bacterial spores subjected to the sterilization process. Results are available in from a few seconds to a few hours. The test indicator can also be placed into a container with material such that the design simulates an environmental parameter test of the sterilization process.

Abstract: Within a reflective display section R, part of the
light that reaches the reflective electrode (12) through a
color filter (21) exits to the outside through slits (21a)
and part of the light that reaches the reflective electrode
through the slits exits to the outside through the color
filter. In addition, light reaching the reflective
electrode through the color filter and exiting to the
outside through the color filter, and light having no
opportunity to pass through the slits also can be observed.
Therefore, a mean film thickness of color filter through
which all the light passes during the time in which it travels
the associated distance after it is inputted to the
inside until it is outputted to the outside becomes
nearly equal to that could be observed in the transmissive
section T. Furthermore, as the ratio of an area of the
slits with respect to an area of the associated color filter
is made to vary depending on a color to be displayed, it is
possible to make color reproduction ranges of the reflective
display section R and a transparent display section T
substantially coincide with each other with respect to a
color to be displayed.

Abstract: A semiconductor memory is provided which comprises a plurality of memory
blocks (MBA, MBB) each including a plurality of memory cell rows (26, 36), a redundancy
memory circuit (10, 12) and a redundancy control circuit (18, 28, 20, 30, 24, 34). The
redundancy memory circuit (10, 12) stores a defect address (RA0, RA1) indicating a
defective memory cell row. The redundancy control circuit (18, 28, 20, 30, 24, 34) disables
the defective memory cell row corresponding to the defect address (RA0, RA1) stored in the
redundancy memory circuit (10, 12) and enables a redundancy memory cell row in the
memory block (MBA, MBB) containing the defective memory cell row. Moreover, in the
other memory blocks (MBA, MBB), the redundancy control circuit (18, 28, 20, 30, 24, 34)
disables memory cell rows corresponding to the defective memory cell row and enables
redundancy memory cell rows instead of these memory cell rows. Consequently, not only
the memory block (MBA, MBB) having the defective memory cell row but one of the memory
cell rows in the other memory blocks (MBA, MBB) is always also relieved. Thus, the
redundancy memory circuit (10, 12) can be shared among all the memory blocks (MBA,
MBB) with a reduction in the number of redundancy memory circuits (10, 12). As a result,
the semiconductor memory can be reduced in chip size.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to biologic-chemical fungicide compositions (BCFs) that include one or more chemical fungicides, and microorganisms including gram-positive and/or gram-negative bacteria and yeast. Any chemical fungicide or combination of fungicides can be used. The BCFs typically also include an optional nutrient component in an amount sufficient to support the growth and replication of the microorganisms. If the BCF is applied to soil rich in nutrients, or if the crops would support the growth of the microorganisms in the BCFs, then the nutrients can be left out. Compositions having a biologic component of microorganisms in addition to one or more chemical fungicides are significantly more effective than chemical fungicides applied without microorganisms. The invention is also directed to chemical-free biologic fungicides that contain microorganisms with suppressive activity against pathogenic fungi, and nutrients.
