Abstract: The present invention relates generally to an apparatus and kit in the microtiter plate format for improved multiplexed microarraying. The apparatus overcomes current limitations with conventional polymeric and glass bottom microtiter plates. The invention also relates to an apparatus for conducting multiple biomolecular assays comprising a low self-fluorescent coated substrate having an upper and lower surface. The substrate upper surface has a pattern comprising a plurality of wells. A flexible superstructure having a plurality of through holes (i.e. openings) in a pattern that is similar to and aligns with the wells on the substrate is removably adherable to the upper surface of the substrate. Preferably, the superstructure is adhesively attachable to the substrate. A tray supports the substrate and the superstructure and acts as an alignment jig. In a preferred embodiment the substrate is low self-fluorescent glass and coated on the upper surface with a functional coating to which other biomolecules can bond. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A clip for engaging tissue includes a generally annular-shaped body defining a plane and disposed about a central axis extending normal to the plane. The body includes alternating inner and outer curved regions, defining a zigzag pattern about a periphery of the clip. The body is biased towards a planer configuration lying in the plane and deflectable towards a transverse configuration extending out of the plane. Tines extend from the inner curved regions, the tines being oriented towards the central axis in the planar configuration, and parallel to the central axis in the transverse configuration. The tines include primary tines and secondary tines that are shorter than the primary tines. The primary tines may be disposed on opposing inner curved regions and oriented towards one another. The primary tines are configured such that they are offset from the axes of symmetry of the curved regions from which they extend and are connected to the curved regions by curved or linear regions or are connected directly to the curved regions. The primary tines may overlap the body and may be of different lengths.

Abstract: In the method of the invention, the process to obtain bisphenol A from phenol and acetone in the presence of a cation exchanger which is preferably promoted with organic sulphur compounds, is carried out in two steps, while the reaction mixture is made to flow upwards in the reactor. Step I of the condensation reaction comprises a preliminary rearrangement phase to obtain an increase in the concentration of bisphenol A by 2 - 15 %, preferably 3 - 5 %, while in Step II the reaction is preferably carried out while removing part of reaction water in a continuous manner. Acetone, water and phenol are then removed from the resulting post-reaction mixture and the crude bisphenol A which is obtained as a residue is treated by distillation or fractional crystallization.

Abstract: A system for anticipated measurement of turbulence upstream of an aircraft, placed on-board the aircraft, includes a lidar, an image detector, a first processing component, and a second processing component. The lidar transmits an optical beam toward a front of the aircraft and receives a backscattered optical beam. The image detector detects variations in wind speed based on the backscattered optical beam. The first processing component uses a first internal correction algorithm to calculate values of components of the wind speed. The second processing component uses a second external correction algorithm to deliver possible command signals to actuators of at least one aircraft control surface based on the calculated values of the components of the wind speed from the first internal correction algorithm.
