Abstract: An integrated circuit memory device has two banks of NAND structured memory cells and a clock input for synchronously latching control, address and data signals. Time delays of sequentially accessing and restoring memory bits in the NAND structure are masked through the use of the dual bank architecture and synchronous timing. The NAND structured memory cells provide an extremely dense memory array for a high capacity memory device. The input clock signal driving a synchronous word line generator provides a simplified high speed access to the array. A set of random access storage registers temporarily store data from the array and provide high speed page access to an entire page of data from each bank of the memory. The ability to access one bank while simultaneously opening or closing a row in the other bank allows for an unlimited number of high speed sequential data accesses. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Un système et une technique permettant de réaliser de manière intuitive une animation assistée par ordinateur font intervenir un espace de transformation dans le cadre duquel on déplace un périphérique d'entrée d'ordinateur, un crayon-lecteur optique à dessins en trois dimensions, par exemple, vers des poses construites générées à partir de poses sources. L'espace de transformation peut revêtir la forme d'un tétraèdre dont chaque sommet représente une pose source. Il est possible de définir une pose construite en tout point du volume tridimensionnel du tétraèdre en fonction des moyennes pondérées des quatre poses sources. L'animateur est en mesure de créer une séquence d'animation uniquement en déplaçant le crayon-lecteur dans le tétraèdre. C'est la vitesse de déplacement du crayon-lecteur qui régit celle des modifications intervenant au niveau des transformations des poses construites, celle-ci pouvant, toutefois, varier, une fois définie la séquence de poses construites. Un aspect complémentaire de l'invention porte sur la modification de parties des dessins, obtenue par le tracé d'un trajet de 'déformation' dans l'espace afin de préciser un déplacement relatif à partir d'un point de référence. Il est précisé quel est ou quels sont les segments concernés et dans quelle mesure les points dont se composent les segments sont concernés. Cette technique peut s'adapter à la création de mouvements complexes ainsi que d'effets de vent, d'inertie et de vagues dans des objets animés.

Abstract: A cell population or subpopulation enrichment procedure for separating undesired populations or subpopulations from a biological sample utilizing relatively heavy, dense particles and gravity sedimentation. The particles have one or more reactants bound thereto which are specific to and will bind with the selected population or subpopulation to be eliminated from the sample. The particles preferably are mixed with the sample by repeatedly causing the particles to settle through a substantial portion of the sample to bind to the selected population. The particles with the bound selected population to be eliminated then are allowed to preferentially settle in the sample and the supernatant including the enriched population or subpopulation is separated from the particles with the population to be eliminated bound thereto. The enriched population supernatant can then be analyzed, utilized as is, have other populations or subpopulations removed or have additional amounts of remaining cells of the previously eliminated populations removed in additional steps.

Abstract: A connector assembly includes a connector having an inner member with first and second open ends and a bore extending therebetween. The inner member is formed of a material which is impervious to a particular fluid to flow through the connector assembly. An outer member encapsulates the inner member and is formed of a material dissimilar from the material of the inner member, which material resists abrasions and other deleterious elements to which the connector is exposed. Flexible retaining latches are formed integrally on the outer member of the connector and snap over an annular projection formed on a tubular conduit upon insertion of the conduit through the first open end and into the bore of the inner member. An elastomeric seal disposed in the bore of the inner member provides a fluid tight seal between the conduit and inner member. Another elastomeric seal is located within the bore of the inner member adjacent the second open end, and provides a fluid tight seal with a tubular member inserted therein. The tubular member may be a multi-wall conduit of dissimilar materials to provide both physical protection and prevent effusion. The connector is formed by a method of premolding the inner member of a first plastic material and then inserting the elastomeric seals and metal washer therein. Next, the inner member is placed in a mold cavity and the outer member is molded about and encapsulates the inner member and secures the seals and metal washer within the inner member. A rigid one-piece plastic retaining clip may be slidably mounted within aligned apertures in one end of the connector to removably secure an end of the tubular conduct therein with the metal washer securing the tubular member within the other end of the connector.
