Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein provide apparatus and methods for verifying a volume of fluid. According to one embodiment, an apparatus includes a receptacle for containing fluid, a first conductor operatively associated with the receptacle and a second conductor operatively associated with the receptacle offset from the first conductor. A source of a first electrical signal is electrically connected with the first conductor. A monitor is electrically connected with the second conductor for detecting a second electrical signal created in the second conductor. In another embodiment, a method includes positioning a receptacle adjacent a fluid dispense nozzle such that fluid dispensed from the nozzle enters the receptacle. A first electrical signal is applied to a first conductor operatively connected with the receptacle. A second electrical signal created in a second conductor operatively connected with the receptacle responsive to the first electrical signal is monitored.

Abstract: PCT No. PCT/GB96/01492 Sec. 371 Date Mar. 23, 1998 Sec. 102(e) Date Mar. 23, 1998 PCT Filed Jun. 19, 1996 PCT Pub. No. WO97/01152 PCT Pub. Date Jan. 9, 1997In a data processing method and apparatus, an image signal representative of features in a space of two or more dimensions is progressively filtered at monotonically increasing filtering scales, the signal being input to the first filtering scale, and the input to the or each subsequent filtering scale is the output signal from the previous scale. Each input has a number of data samples each of which represents a respective region of the space, and at each filtering scale those samples are sorted into connected-sets, each of which contains a plurality of substantially equal value to data samples or a respective individual data sample not in other sets. The process then selects those connected-sets which contain data samples having values which are local maxima or local minima and which represent a composite region of a size related in a predetermined way to the current filtering scale. Each selected set is then effectively merged with the adjacent connected-set which contains data samples of a value closest to that of the sample(s) in the selected connected-set. This is achieved by changing the latter's value to that of the samples in the adjacent connected set. The output signal for the filtering method is derived from the output of at least one of the filtering scales. In at least one of those scales, both connected-sets having local maxima and connected-sets having local minima are selected, thereby increasing the tolerance of the method to noise.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for making insoluble gas-filled, pressure-resistant microspheres containing a liquid or solid hydrophobic barrier within the microsphere shell, and products of this process. This barrier serves to decrease the rate of gas exchange between the microsphere and the aqueous environment surrounding the microsphere and thus enhances resistance to pressure due to gas exchange.

Abstract: Improved processes have been developed for atom (or group) transfer radical polymerization (ATRP). In one improvement, the ATRP process involves polymerizing in the presence of a (partially) free radical-deactivating amount of the corresponding reduced or oxidized transition metal compound. In a further improvement, the ATRP process involves polymerizing in a homogeneous system or in the presence of a solubilized initiating/catalytic system. The present invention also concerns end-functional, site-specific functional and telechelic homopolymers and copolymers; block, random, graft, alternating and tapered (or "gradient") copolymers which may have certain properties or a certain novel structure; star, comb and "hyperbranched" polymers and copolymers; multi-functional hyperbranched, end-functional polymers; cross-linked polymers and gels; water-soluble polymers and hydrogels (e.g., a copolymer prepared by radical copolymerization of a water-soluble monomer and a divinyl monomer); and an ATRP process using water as a medium.
