IPC: G16B40/00
Filed: 1999-02-24
Abstract: A method is disclosed for rapid molecular profiling of tissue or other cellular specimens by placing a donor specimen in an assigned location in a recipient array, providing copies of the array, and performing a different biological analysis of each copy. In one embodiment, the copies of the array are formed by placing elongated specimens in a three dimensional matrix, and cutting sections from the matrix to form multiple copies of a two dimensional array that can then be subjected to the different biological analyses.  Alternatively, the array can be formed from cell suspensions such that identical multiple copies of an array are formed, in which corresponding positions in the copies of the array have samples from the same or similar specimen. The results of the different biological analyses are compared to determine if there are correlations between the results of the different biological analyses at each assigned location. In some embodiments, the specimens may be tissue specimens from different tumors, which are subjected to multiple parallel molecular (including genetic and immunological) analyses.  The results of the parallel analyses are then used to detect common molecular characteristics of the tumor type, which can subsequently be used in the diagnosis or treatment of the disease. The biological characteristics of the tissue can be correlated with clinical or other information, to detect characteristics associated with the tissue, such as susceptibility or resistance to particular types of drug treatment. Other examples of suitable tissues which can be placed in the matrix include tissue from transgenic or model organisms, or cellular suspensions (such as cytological preparations or specimens of liquid malignancies or cell lines).

IPC: G06F19/00

Abstract: Many of the current procedures for detecting coding regions on human DNA sequences actually rely on a combination of a number of individual techniques such as discriminant analysis and neural net methods. A recent paper introduced the notion of using techniques from nonlinear systems identification as one means for classifying protein sequences into their structure/function groups. The particular technique employed, called parallel cascade identification, achieved sufficiently high correct classification rates to suggest it could be usefully combined with current protein classification schemes to enhance overall accuracy. In the present paper, parallel cascade identification is used in a pilot study to distinguish coding (exon) from noncoding (intron) human DNA sequences. Only the first exon, and first intron, sequence with known boundaries in genomic DNA from the .beta. T-cell receptor locus were used for training. Then, the parallel cascade classifiers were able to achieve classification rates of about 89% on novel sequences in a test set, and averaged about 82% when results of a blind test were included. These results indicate that parallel cascade classifiers may be useful components in future coding region detection programs.   Key Words: Nonlinear Systems, Identification, Exons, Introns, DNA Sequences.

Abstract: A unique method and apparatus for the determination of the wavelength of a laser output in a multi- or stepped-etalon laser wavelength stabilization system is disclosed. Determination of the laser frequency is based on signals from each etalon path in the system, thereby compensating for subsequent changes in the optical characteristics of the etalons caused by varying temperatures. A corrective offset for the measured frequency of the laser output is determined based on values measured by each etalon and values previously stored in a look-up table. The frequency measurement is then adjusted by the determined offset to provide a more accurate determination of the laser frequency.

Title: Method for steam pressing composite board having at least one finished surface
Inventor: BONOMO BRIAN
IPC: B27N3/08
Filed: 1999-07-08
Abstract: In a method for making composite wood products having a market ready finished surface, a mat is formed of wood fibers treated with a binder. The mat is loaded into a press cavity formed between two press platens. The first press platen is a conventional hot press platen free of ports. The conventional platen can be smooth or patterned to emboss the finished surface on the product. The other press platen has steam injection ports. The press cavity is capable of being sealed. The mat is fully consolidated. Heat conducted from the first press platen to a first side of the mat vaporizes moisture in a portion of the thickness of the mat closest to the first side causing the moisture to greatly expand in volume. The expanded volume is vented through an opposite side of the mat to purge trapped air from the mat. The vapor expansion is vented from the mat through the steam injection ports, carrying with it trapped air and moisture. Subsequent to purging of the trapped air, the press cavity is sealed and, a quantity of steam from an external source is injected by way of the steam injection ports into the mat at a sufficient pressure and for a sufficient time to cure the binder. The quantity of steam from the external source is vented from mat through the steam injection ports before the press cavity is unsealed.
