Abstract: Methods are disclosed for producing electrochemiluminescence by electrochemically oxidizing an acridan compound at an electrode in the presence of a peroxide. Maintaining a sufficiently positive potential results in continuous oxidation of the acridan compound to an acridinium compound which reacts with peroxide to produce the luminescence. Light emission can be reversibly and repeatedly cycled on and off by sweeping the potential between two values. The acridan compounds can be provided with a labeling group for linking to an analyte or analyte binding partner. The present electrochemiluminescent reaction can find use in assay methods for detecting analytes by immunoassays and nucleic acid assays.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for preparing metal nitrates from the
corresponding metal wherein the metal is selected from silver, cadmium, bismuth and
the metals of atomic number 24 - 30. The process comprises (A) providing a reactor
containing (a) the metal, (b) nitric acid, and (c) water wherein the initial concentration
of the nitric acid in the water in the reactor is from about 50% to about 80% by
weight, and the reactor is free of (1) added fuming nitric acid, (2) added chromium
compounds when the metal is iron, and (3) added oxygen, and when the metal is
nickel the reactor contains less than 500 g/l of any added nickel nitrate hexahydrate,
and (B) maintaining the temperature within the reactor at a temperature to facilitate
the formation of the metal nitrate and to maintain the produced metal nitrate in the
molten state; (C) maintaining the pressure within the reactor at between atmospheric
pressure up to about 100 psig; and (D) recovering the metal nitrate from the reactor,
provided that when the metal is iron, any recovered iron nitrate is not recycled. The
process of the present Invention results in the formation of metal nitrates and more
particularly aqueous solutions of metal nitrates containing reduced amounts of
ammonium nitrate.

Abstract: A process for casting and preparing an ingot (10) of a beta-phase NiAl-based material,
particularly for use in PVD coating processes. The method entails melting a nickel-aluminum
composition having an aluminum content below that required for
stoichiometric beta-phase NiAl intermetallic so as to form a melt comprising nickel
and Ni 3 Al. Aluminum is then added to the melt, causing an exothermic reaction
between nickel and aluminum as the melt equilibrium shifts from Ni 3 Al to NiAl.
However, the aluminum is added at a rate sufficiently low to avoid a violent
exothermic reaction. The addition of aluminum continues until sufficient aluminum
has been added to the melt to yield a beta-phase NiAl-based material. The beta-phase
NiAl-based material is then solidified to form an ingot (10), which is then heated and
pressed to close porosity and homogenize the microstructure of the ingot (10).

Abstract: A radio station ( 10 ) in which the value of parameters for a model of a received multipath signal are estimated, the model comprising a value representative of the perpendicular distance between the plane of the reflecting surfaces ( 40, 50 ) and the radio station. This perpendicular distance may be measured from the round trip delay of a sounding signal transmitted by the radio station. The amount of computation is reduced by applying constraints to the parameters, and these constraints may comprise this perpendicular distance. The constraints may also be a function of parameters such as the path length, angle of arrival or amplitude of the direct path signal, and the amplitude of reflections of the sounding signal. The values of the parameters may be estimated initially by analysis of the received signals, followed by a parameter estimation process. The values of the resulting parameters are exploited in applications such as ranging, location or equalisation.
