Inventor: RHEE TAE-HYUNG
IPC: G02B6/122
Filed: 1998-12-07
Abstract: The present invention incudes a pigtailing method between an optical waveguide device and an optical fiber array module, comprising the steps of preparing the optical waveguide device having optical waveguides of N input ports and N output ports on the lateral surface of a substrate, wherein N is an integer equal to or greater than 1, aligning the optical fiber array module having optical fibers arranged at equal distances between the input ports and between the output ports, to the input and output ports of the optical waveguide device, and attaching the aligned optical fiber array module to the lateral surface of the optical waveguide device. Since the process necessary for attachment of the optical fiber array module to the optical waveguide device is simplified to once, the fabrication cost can be reduced.

Title: Labelling and selection of molecules
Inventor: JOHNSON KEVIN STUART
IPC: G01N33/532
Filed: 1997-07-08
Abstract: A method of labelling molecules which includes providing in a common medium a label molecule, a marker ligand able to bind a member of a specific bind-ing pair, such as an antigen, a sbp mem-ber, an enzyme able to catalyse binding of the label molecule to other molecules, the enzyme being associated with the marker ligand; causing or allowing binding of the marker ligand to the sbp member, and causing or allowing binding of the label molecule to other molecules in the vicin-ity of the marker ligand bound to the sbp member. The marker ligand may be an antibody or any specific binding molecule, such as a chemokine or cytokine. A  com-plementary member of the specific bind-ing pair may be included, e.g. an an-tibody, or a diverse population of such sbp members, e.g. antibodies, may be included within which those which bind the counterpart sbp member, e.g. antigen, may be labelled and subsequently isolated for manipulation and/or use. Suitable la-bels include biotin-tyramine with signal transfer being catalysed by hydrogen per-oxidase. Cells, virus particles and other moieties may be labelled, for identifica-tion or obtention of proteins which inter-act or are in close proximity with a particular sbp member, or of cells of interest, or for enhancement of labelling, e.g. for cell sorting.

Patent CA-2271334-A1 (CA)
Title: Container for microwave cooking of food products containing liquids
Inventor: MEINERS M DEBBIE
IPC: A23L7/109
Filed: 1999-05-07
Abstract: A container for microwave cooking having geometric features which improve the efficiency and uniformity of microwave cooking of food products containing liquids and which enhance boiling uniformity while preventing boilover of the contents. The container has a bottom portion and a side panel wherein the bottom portion contains a central segment in the shape of a section of a sphere.     The side panel is tapered outwardly as it extends from the bottom portion to an end opening. Sharp corners are avoided within the container. As the result of the geometry of the container, a more uniform distribution of heat within the contents of the container is attained during cooking and the combination of uniform heating, the lack of sharp corners and the tapered side panel causes boiling of the contents without bumping, thereby minimizing the risk of boil over.

Title: Apparatus and methods for assessment of neuromuscular function
Inventor: GOZANI SHAI N
IPC: A61B5/05
Filed: 1998-06-22
Abstract: Apparatus and methods are provided for the assessment of neuromuscular function. Using an apparatus of the invention, stimuli are applied to a nerve that traverses the wrist of an individual. The stimuli are applied at a point that is proximal to the wrist. Stimulation of the nerve causes a muscle innervated by that nerve to respond. The muscle response generates a myoeletric potential, which is detected by an apparatus of the invention at a point that is proximal to the wrist. The delay between stimulation of a nerve and detection of a muscular response to that stimulation is processed to indicate an assessment of neuromuscular function. For example, a sufficient delay between application of stimulus and muscle response may indicate the presence of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.
