Abstract: Scintillator materials based on certain types of halide-lanthanide matrix materials are described. In one embodiment, the matrix material contains a mixture of lanthanide halides, i.e., a solid solution of at least two of the halides, such as lanthanum chloride and lanthanum bromide. In another embodiment, the matrix material is based on lanthanum iodide alone, which must be substantially free of lanthanum oxyiodide. The scintillator materials, which can be in monocrystalline or polycrystalline form, also include an activator for the matrix material, e.g., cerium. To further improve the stopping power and the scintillating efficiency of these halide scintillators, the addition of bismuth is disclosed. Radiation detectors that use the scintillators are also described, as are related methods for detecting high-energy radiation.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a tube coupling (10) comprising a coupling body having an open ended (12) throughway (11) to receive a tube (13), an annular shoulder (14) in the throughway facing the open end of the throughway, an 'O' ring seal (18) for sealing with a tube located against the annular shoulder in the throughway and a collet (25) located in the open end of the throughway for locking a tube in the throughway. The collet has a head (26) projecting out of the open end of the throughway and resilient arms (27) extend into the throughway to engage a tapered cam surface (29) adjacent said open end to force the arms inwardly with movement of the collet outwardly of the throughway into gripping engagement with a tube. A ring (19) is disposed in the throughway between the collet and 'O' ring seal, one side of the ring adjacent the collet having a ramp (19a) around its inner periphery to engage the ends of the collet arms when the collet is depressed into the throughway to release the arms from the tube and thereby allow release of a tube from the coupling body and the other side of the ring having a ramp (19b) around its inner periphery to engage the O ring seal (18) to hold the seal in alignment in the throughway when the collet is depressed into the throughway.

Abstract: The method involves determining asymptotic interference signal to noise ratio, for a set of sub-bands of sub-carriers and blocks of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols, from attenuation coefficients of a propagation channel and type of equalizer used by a receiver. A compressed interference signal to noise ratio is deduced for each block of coded information obtained by a quadrature amplitude modulation, where the ratio is given by an analytical formula depending on frequency and time spreading parameters. The parameters which maximize the compressed value are selected. Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) a frequency and/or time spreading parameters selecting device (2) a simulation unit for a mobile radio communications system, adapted for implementing a frequency and/or time spreading parameters selecting method (3) a wireless mobile telephony device for adapted for implementing a frequency and/or time spreading parameters selecting method.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel integrated PCR-free signal amplification polynucleotide detection system which combines a specific receptor, an optical transducer, and an amplification mechanism. This novel detection system is based on different electrostatic interactions and confirmations between a cationic polythiophene (i.e., polymer 1) and single-stranded or double-stranded polynucleotides (such as ss-DNA or ds-DNA), and the efficient energy transfer between the triplex (complexation between the cationic polythiophene and ds-DNA) and neighboring fluorophores attached to ss-DNA or ds-DNA probes. It is to be understood that in the case of ss-DNA, triplex formation occurs via the hybridization of complementary ss-DNA strands, combined with complexation and with the cationic polythiophene. The present detection system allows for the detection of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) from samples in only a few minutes, without the need for nucleic acid amplification.

Abstract: A variator (10) has two races (12, 12) mounted for rotation about a common axis. Opposed, shaped faces (14, 18) of the races define an annular space containing at least one roller (38, 40) which runs upon the races to transfer drive between them. The roller is mounted on a carrier (42, 44) in such a way that its inclination to the common axis is able to change, to enable changes in variator ratio. The rollers and their carriers are controlled through a mechanism comprising a sun (46, 48) and a ring (50, 52) with which the carrier engages. Relative rotation of the sun and ring causes a tipping motion of the carrier (42, 44), so that the rollers steer themselves to a new inclination. To control the sun and ring, there is provided a planet (100) which engages them both. The rotational position of the carrier is controlled independently of its engagement with the sun and the ring.
