IPC: C12P19/34
Filed: 2014-03-15
Abstract: Methods and apparatuses rapidly and cyclically heating and cooling a fluid sample during PCT testing to reduce the duration for full amplification of target DNA using most PCR procedures. Instead of heating and cooling static target solution in a reaction tube, the target solution reciprocates (alternately flows) back and forth within an elongate, thick- walled, small-bore tube. Sections of the tube are maintained at different temperatures so that an ascending/descending temperature gradient is maintained along the length of the tube. As the target solution flows within and along the tube from section to section, it rapidly achieves thermal equilibrium with the tube at each section, thereby rapidly thermally cycling the target solution.

Abstract: A cigarette [10] is provided with the tobacco column portion [11] adjacent the filter assembly [12] encased by a heat shrink material [16] whereby as the burn approaches the butt [17] the heat shrink material [16] begins to contract radially and compress the encased tobacco column [11] restricting the air flow therethrough. This reduces the diameter of burning column [11] adjacent the filter assembly [12] and thus extinguishes or at least confines the remaining tobacco in the cigarette [10].

Abstract: To reduce the influence of air bubbles and dust in measuring scattered light beams on an automatic analyzer. A light source emits a light beam with a first wavelength 18a on a shorter wavelength side and a light beam with a second wavelength 18b on a longer wavelength side, and then, transmitted light beams 19a and 19b and scattered light beams 21a and 21b are received. Noise is estimated from the ratio between the intensities of the transmitted light beams with the first wavelength and the second wavelength and a change in the amount of the scattered light beam with the second wavelength. Then, the estimated noise is subtracted from a change in the amount of the scattered light beam with the first wavelength, so that noise due to air bubbles and dust is reduced.

Abstract: In an image acquisition device M, an optical path difference generating member 21 can form an optical path length difference of a second optical image without splitting light in a second optical path L2. This can suppress the quantity of light required for the second optical path L2 to obtain information of the focal position, whereby a quantity of light can be secured for a first imaging device 18 to capture an image. The image acquisition device M synchronizes the movement of a predetermined part of a sample S within a field V of an objective lens 15 with rolling readout such that each pixel column 20b of a second imaging device 20 is exposed to an optical image of the predetermined part in the sample S. Thus obtained image data includes contrast information equivalent to that obtained when the focal position of the objective lens 15 is changed in the same part of the sample S, whereby the focus information can be calculated rapidly and accurately according to the contrast information.
