Abstract: A reactive dye compound comprising: (a) at least one chromophore moiety, (b) at least one nitrogen-containing heterocycle, (c) a linking group to link each chromophore moiety to each nitrogen-containing heterocycle; characterised in that at least one nitrogen-containing heterocycle is substituted with at least one oxy- or thio-carbonyl derivative wherein the oxy- or thio-carbonyl derivative is selected from Y wherein Y is -A(CO)R* wherein A is selected from O or S and wherein R* is an organic residue which comprises at least one nucleophilic group, and salts thereof. The compounds herein have high Exhaustion Values (E), high Efficiency Values (T) and show significant improvements in terms of reducing spent dyestuff in effluent, increasing dye affinity to the substrate, increasing the dye-substrate covalent bonding, increasing the ability to dye substrates at room temperature, decreasing the amount of the dye that is removed during the post dyeing "soaping off process" and therefore simplifying the post dyeing "soaping off process" traditionally associated with dyeing cotton with fibre reactive dyes and reduction of staining of adjacent white fabrics. In addition, the compounds prepared above provide more intense dyeings and require less levels of salt for dyeing cotton substrates.

Abstract: A computer system for a web site uses three tiers of servers, web (or HTTP) servers, application servers, and backup servers. The backup servers are responsible for backing up the session data for particular application servers. The system assigns to each web session a session ID, which encodes the IP addresses of the application server and its backup server, and provides an identifier that uniquely identifies the session within that application server. A session is automatically routed to a second application server to process a request if the application server handling the session should fail or not have the requested application. However, the request uses the original session ID. The second application server detects from the session ID that the session may have been handled by the first application server. The second application server decodes the IP address for the backup server for the first application server, and connects to that backup server. The user's session data is recovered from that backup server and reconstituted into a new session, with a new session ID. If the session had previously existed on the second application server, the session ID used by the second application server and the session data for that session are used, updated with the session data from the first backup server.

Abstract: The present invention is directed generally to metal binding compounds which may be added to cell culture media to replace factors required for cultivation of the cells (e.g. transferrin) which are of animal or human origin. More specifically, the invention is directed to metal binding compounds or complexes thereof comprising one or more transition element cations (such as ferrous or ferric ions), which are added to cell and tissue culture medium compositions. The metal binding compounds may be added to the media alone or may be first complexed with a transition metal ion. The invention is also directed to methods of use of such compositions, including, for example, methods for the cultivation of eukaryotic cells, particularly animal cells, <i>in vitro</i>. The invention also relates to compositions comprising such culture media and one or more cells, and to kits comprising one or more of the above-described compositions. The compositions of the present invention obviate the need for naturally derived metal-binding proteins, such as transferrin and ceruloplasmin, which may contain blood-borne pathogens.

Abstract: An optical workstation comprising an optical breadboard (24) supported by a frame (32), the frame comprising a plurality of upstanding legs (20) interconnected by laterally extending cross-beams (22, 23), the cross-beams defining a space (40) into which the optical breadboard is received and laterally enclosed. By laterally enclosing the optical breadboard with the cross-beam frame elements, side protection for the optical breadboard is provided, thus protecting it from lateral impacts against which conventional damping mounts are not effective. In addition, since the cross-beams are part of the frame structure, they provide a stable and rigid platform for mounting optical and other components at the very edge of the workstation outside the optical breadboard area. Anchor points (28) in the cross-beams are provided for this purpose. Incorporation of the cross-beams into the frame structure also provides an enhanced level of structural rigidity which allows the frame to be made of aluminium rather than steel to provide a much lighter, more manoeuvrable product. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A system for determining nearest leaf bounds per leaf cone of a cone hierarchy based on a dual-tree search of the cone hierarchy and a bound hierarchy. A processor, performing the dual-tree search, maintains for each leaf cone a collection of nearest leaf bounds. The collection evolves as the dual-tree search progresses. The processor may maintain the N closest leaf bounds for each leaf cone. The processor may classify leaf bounds as occluders or non-occluders, and store any non-occluder closer than the Nth occluder. Alternatively, the processor may assign an occlusion metric value to each leaf bound, and may maintain closest leaf bounds so that the sum of their occlusion metric values is less than or equal to an occlusion threshold. The dual-tree search may be followed by a search of the bound hierarchy with probe cones of the leaf cones.
