Abstract: A capacitor C and an impedance converter Hiz are included in a feedback circuit of the first operational amplifier OP1 in series; an electrode P1 of a capacitive sensor is connected to a connection point of the said capacitor and the converter via a signal line L. The signal line L is connected to a predetermined standard electric potential through resistance R3 whose resistance value is high. When the capacitor is included in the feedback circuit, the signal line becomes in a state of floating and a circuit operation becomes unstable, however, the signal line L is fixed at predetermined electric potential, and therefore, the operation becomes stable. It is acceptable to configure the impedance converter with a voltage follower and connect the resistance R3 to the output. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Cells are genetically modified to express a luminophore, e.g., a modified (F64L, S65T, Y66H) Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP,EGFP) coupled to a component of an intracellular signalling pathway such as a transcription factor, a cGMP- or cAMP-dependent protein kinase, a cyclin-, calmodulin- or phospholipid-dependent or mitogen-activated serine/threonin protein kinase, a tyrosine protein kinase, or a protein phosphatase (e.g. PKA, PKC, Erk, Smad, VASP, actin, p38, Jnk1, PKG, IkappB, CDK2, Grk5, Zap70. p85, protein-tyrosine phosphatase 1C, stat5, NFAT, NFkappaB, RhoA, PKB). An influence modulates the intracellular signaling pathway in such a way that the luminophore is being redistributed or translocated with the component in living cells in a manner experimentally determined to be correlated to the degree of influence. Measurement of redistribution is performed by recording of light intensity, fluorescense lifetime, polarization, wavelength shift, resonance energy transfer, or other properties by an apparatus consisting of e.g. a fluorescence microscope and a CCD camera. Data stored as digital images are processed to numbers representing the degree of redistribution. The method can be used as a screening program for identifying a compound that modulates a component and is capable of treating a disease related to the function of the component.

Abstract: A wind energy conversion system optimized for offshore application. Each wind turbine includes a semi-submersible hull with ballast weight that is moveable to increase the system's stability. Each wind turbine has an array of rotors distributed on a tower to distribute weight and loads and to improve power production performance where windshear is high. As much of the equipment associated with each rotor as possible is located at the base of the tower to lower the metacentric height. The equipment that may be emplaced at the bottom of the tower could include a power electronic converter, a DC to AC converter, or the entire generator with a mechanical linkage transmitting power from each rotor to the base of the tower. Rather than transmitting electrical power back to shore, it is contemplated to create energy intensive hydrogen-based products at the base of the wind turbine. Alternatively, there could be a central factory ship that utilizes the power produced by a plurality of wind turbines to create a hydrogen-based fuel. The hydrogen based fuel is transported to land and sold into existing markets as a value-added "green" product.

Abstract: A germicidal absorptive material for use in surgical packings, wound bandages, sanitary tampons and bed sore prevention and/or treatment uses is provided by a foam-like matrix of hydrophilic polyurethane polymer to which application-specific loads of a germicidal disinfectant dye have been made. Polyurethane polymer of various densities and thicknesses exhibits an exceptional ability to absorb different levels of a number of disinfectant dyes, both basic and acidic, such as gentian violet and methylene blue, respectively. The relationship between dye-load and application-specific uses permits a totally-bound gentian violet pad to be used as a conventional bandage or pad on a surface wound with the capability of preventing the incursion of external pathogens from entering the wound through the pad, where the pathogens are killed by the bound-dye. The wound exudate is absorbed safely by the pad, where wound-originating pathogens are also killed. When the loaded dye's concentration is saturated by exceeding the bound-dye limit, the limited free-dye is available to be delivered to the wound, particularly deep wounds, to rapidly kill pathogens in the wound. The free dye delivery pad can then be replaced by the bound-dye pad to absorb the wound exudate.
