Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for amplifying and detecting nucleic acid materials comprising the steps of: adding a sample suspected to contain a target nucleic acid material to an amplification vessel along with labeled reagents for amplification of the suspected target nucleic acid to from a reaction mixture; sealing the reaction mixture inside the vessel by closing a tightly sealing cap having a membrane that is penetrable by a pipettor probe; amplifying the target nucleic acid material within the vessel; removing a portion of the reaction mixture from the vessel for detection; and detecting the presence of amplified target nucleic acid by detection of the labeled reagents; wherein the removing is effected by piercing the membrane with the pipettor probe, aspirating the portion of the reaction mixture into the pipettor and dispensing the portion in a distinct detection compartment without uncapping the vessel, thereby avoiding drops or aerosols of the amplified material which might contaminate the environment, unreacted samples or reagents. The reaction vessel device for performing the nucleic acid amplification assay comprises:a tube of thermally stable polymeric material having an outer diameter dimensioned to fit into a thermal cycling apparatus, the tube having an opening to an interior; a cap for tightly sealing the opening of the tube, the cap including a puncturable membrane of not more than 0.0381 cm thickness, whereby the membrane allows sampling the amplified reaction product from the closed tube with an automated pipettor without opening the tube; and a flexible hinge that holds the cap to the tube and permits folding of the cap into the opening. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A wireless communication device receives audio data from a base station via a radio frequency (RF) communication link (i.e., a forward link) and transmits audio data to the base station via the RF communication link (i.e., a reverse link). The wireless communication device uses the inherent functionality of the reverse link, including an audio input device (120) to determine whether the wireless communication device is operating in a high noise environment. A signal analyzer (124) analyzes the audio signal on the reverse link and determines whether the ambient noise level exceeds predetermined threshold. If so, the signal analyzer (124) activates a filter (126) to filter the audio signal being provided to an audio output transducer (122m). Band limiting the audio signal provided to the audio output transducer (122) improves intelligibility of the audio signal in the presence of noise.
