Abstract: Described herein is a new immunochromatographic device for the detection of
analytes in a biological sample, comprising a chromatographic membrane
provided with a support, at one end of which is applied, possibly by an absorbent
pad in contact with the said membrane, a marked agent (antibody or conjugated
antigen) that is specific for the analyte. After seeding and hence fixing the
biological sample in an intermediate area (i.e., between the two ends) of the
chromatographic membrane, the user sets an appropriate buffer ahead of the
marked agent, which is then drawn along chromatographically up to the band
where the sample is laid, with consequent conjugate-analyte immunological
reaction, which may be visually detected in the form of a coloured band.

Abstract: A system which observes the world through a video
camera and/or other sensors, automatically learns a
probabilistic model of normative behavior through the
use of a Hidden Markov Model, and uses that model to
infer the kind of activity currently under view and
detect unusual behavior. The use of hidden Markov
models is made possible by entropic training of the
model with an    entropic estimator that folds structure
learning into the parameter estimation process
to remove parameters from the Hidden Markov Model
which have little information content, thus to permit
real time robust unusual behavior detection. In one
embodiment, the system consists of three components:
image analysis; model learning; and signal analysis.
In image analysis, each frame of video is reduced to
a vector of numbers which describe motion of objects
in front of the camera, with a sequence of such vectors,
one for each frame of video, establishing the
"signal". In model learning, the signal is analyzed
to obtain parameters for a probabilistic model of the
dynamics of the scene in front of the camera. In signal
analysis, the model is used to classify and/or
detect anomalies in signals produced on-the-fly by
image analysis of new video.

Abstract: The supercritical refrigerating apparatus has
refrigerant bypass means (700) for bypassing a heat exchanger
(600) according to a physical value of the refrigerant.
Therefore, the temperature of refrigerant on a suction side
of the compressor (100) becomes lower than that of refrigerant
sucked into the compressor via the heat exchanger. As a
result, the refrigerant temperature in a refrigerant passage
extending from a suction side to a discharge side of the
compressor is decreased, thereby preventing breakage of the
compressor.

IPC: H01M10/30
Filed: 1998-03-03
Abstract: Plastic hydrophobic material (144, 146) is bonded to
a metallic sheet member (142) such that the resulting
sandwich structure is impervious to electrochemical
delamination. First and second films (144, 146) of the
plastic hydrophobic material are applied to opposed surfaces
(148, 150) of the metallic sheet member (142) and extend
beyond a peripheral edge (154) of the metallic sheet member
(142) to form contiguous border portions (156, 158). A
plurality of perforations (152) are formed through the
metallic sheet member (142) at locations spaced from its
peripheral edge (154). A resulting sandwich structure of the
metallic sheet member (142) and the first and second films
(144, 146) are compressed and simultaneously the temperature
is raised to the sintering temperature of the hydrophobic
film material. The first and second films (144, 146) are
caused to melt sufficiently at their interfaces to cause an
intermixing of the juxtaposed material thereof throughout
the region of the border portions (156, 158) and throughout
the regions of the perforations (152). When the resulting
sandwich structure is cooled to room temperature and the
films return to the hardened state, they are firmly bonded
together in the region of the border to form an integral
fringe (168) which seals the peripheral edge of the metallic
sheet member from ambient conditions and throughout the
regions of the perforations (152) such that the first and
second films (144, 146), respectively, are drawn firmly into
engagement with the metallic sheet member (142) by reason of
the differential coefficient of thermal expansion between
the metallic sheet member and the hydrophobic film material.
The construction has application to the construction of
bipolar batteries.

Ces capteurs sont en effet conçus pour produire des signaux en réponse à une pression, lorsque l'on appuie ces derniers sur une zone de tissu définie, cette pression variant selon les propriétés des structures de tissus sous-jacents. On génère une image de la zone de tissus définie sur la base des signaux produits par lesdits capteurs, cette image, qui représente la pression exercée sur les capteurs, étant ensuite destinée à être affichée. L'image ainsi affichée peut être une image tridimensionnelle de ladite zone de tissus définie. Les signaux produits par lesdits capteurs peuvent en outre être traités afin de détecter une structure de tissus sous-jacents dans la zone de tissus définie. On produit et on affiche également une région ou une carte de cette structure de tissus sous-jacents fonction d'un point de référence. Les résultats de cet examen clinique sont ensuite comparés à ceux d'un examen précédent.

IPC: F04B27/18
Filed: 1999-02-05
Abstract: A variable displacement compressor in a refrigeration
circuit (38) using carbon dioxide refrigerant. The
compressor changes the inclination of a swash plate (18)
located in a control chamber (121) in accordance with the
difference between the pressure in the control chamber (121)
and the pressure in a suction chamber (131) thereby varying
the compressor displacement. The compressor includes a
control valve (25) that adjusts the difference between the
pressure in the control chamber (121) and the pressure in
the suction pressure (131). The control valve (25) controls
the flow rate of refrigerant supplied from the discharge
chamber (132) to the control chamber (121) thereby adjusting
the pressure difference. A controller (33) inputs
information from the outside of the refrigeration circuit
(38). The outside information includes the outside
temperature, the temperature of a passenger compartment and
a target compartment temperature set by a temperature
adjuster (36). The controller (33) sets a target value of
the pressure of refrigerant discharged from the compressor
in accordance with the outside information. The controller
(33) then controls the current supplied to the control valve
(25) such that the target discharge pressure is rapidly
reached. The compressor reduces unnecessary operation
thereby reducing the power consumption and the load.

engaging member to cause the engaging member to engage and rotate the gear, which
rotates the fluid tube about its longitudinal axis. The centrifuge apparatus can

Abstract: Amorphous and polycrystalline silicon (hybrid) devices are formed close to one another employing laser crystallization and back side lithography processes. A mask (e.g., TiW) is used to protect the amorphous silicon device during laser crystallization. A patterned nitride layer is used to protect the amorphous silicon device during rehydrogenation of the polycrystalline silicon. An absorption film (e.g., amorphous silicon) is used to compensate for the different transparencies of amorphous and polycrystalline silicon during the back side lithography. Device spacing of between 2 and 50 micrometers may be obtained, while using materials and process steps otherwise compatible with existing hybrid device formation processes.

Abstract: There is provided an implantable device system such
as a battery-powered pacemaker system, with an improved
capability of measuring battery internal impedance,
thereby providing the means to determine anticipated
device End of Life. Within one pacemaker cycle
following a sensed beat or a delivered stimulus, and
before delivery of a next stimulus, three battery
measurements are taken at equally spaced time intervals.
Due to the RC nature of the battery internal impedance,
the first two battery voltage measurements can be used
to calculate what the voltage would be at the third
time, assuming no change in current load. At the third
time, a predetermined incremental current load is added,
and the battery voltage at the time of the added current
load is measured. The voltage differential between the
calculated battery voltage and the measured battery
voltage at the third time, together with the
predetermined incremental current load, is used to
calculate the battery impedance.
