IPC: G01N21/82
Filed: 1997-07-25
Granted: 2001-11-14
Abstract: In the disclosed process, a liquid sample is mixed as a first reagent with a second reagent and a first extinction value is determined before or shortly after the two reagents contact each other. Changes in the extinction are afterwards detected continuously or intermittently and the value and/or speed of the changes is compared with reference values. Corresponding deviations of the tested sample are used to qualitatively and/or quantitatively evaluate the first reagent to be tested. The device has a light shaft (1) in which the sample is arranged in a measurement shaft (2) and at one end of which a light source (4), for example a luminescent diode is arranged, and at the other end of which a light sensor (5) is arranged. An electronic measurement value acquisition unit is connected to the light sensor (5) to convert the analogue extinction measurement values into digital values and if required to store them. One disclosed application of the process and/or device relates to the determination of the blood coagulation time.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the controlled enzymatic cleavage of purified and depigmented active allergenic proteins from indoor and outdoor source materials, which process produces fragments of allergens that retain the natural T-lymphocyte stimulating epitopes, but are depleted of IgE-binding B-cell epitopes and complement-activating agents. The invention also relates to the new pharmaceutical products. These allergen fragments do not exhibit the disadvantages of conventional allergenic extracts for immunotherapy and can be safely used to induce a state of specific T-cell anergy and immunological tolerance in allergic human beings.

Abstract: An ophthalmic lens generating apparatus having a tool spindle comprising a motor, a lens surfacing tool and a coupling mounted between the motor and the lens surfacing tool for retaining the lens surfacing tool to the arbor of the motor. The apparatus of the present invention also comprises a first actuated table supporting the tool spindle in a movable manner along the longitudinal axis of the apparatus. A massive base is mounted beneath the first actuated table for supporting the table and for dampening radial vibrations of the tool spindle. The apparatus further comprises a lens holder for holding an ophthalmic lens in a plane substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the apparatus. A massive upright block is mounted on one end of the massive base behind the structural support supporting the lens holder, for dampening axial vibrations of the tool spindle and of the lens holder. The coupling of the tool spindle is a kinematic coupling having first and second disks having each substantial mass and radius of gyration. Thus, when the tool spindle rotates, both disks increase the nominal moment of inertia of the spindle and dampen the torsional vibrations of the spindle.

Abstract: A motion wavelet transform zero tree codec achieves high compression and is implemented in hardware of modest size and at very low cost. A wavelet transform (200) is combined with a tree walk technique (500) for encoding the resulting wavelet coefficients (802-816). A 2-6 wavelet transform is used (700). Wavelet coefficients (802-816) from the transform are represented in a pyramid (600) of wavelet coefficients. An array of zero trees (820) are formed from the pyramid (600) to hold the wavelet coefficients, one coefficient to each node. Significance values (854-858) for each node are calculated to assist with the tree walk and encoding. Each zero tree (820) is traversed to produce an output of encoded bits. Encoded bits are output directly during the tree walk.

Abstract: A pair of rotary die cylinders (10) having co-acting cutting blades (12,13) formed by integral lands projecting generally radially outwardly from the main body of each cylinder and a method of making them by rough machining a tool steel workpiece with conventional cutting tools to form the general contour and path of the cutting blades and thereafter final machining and simultaneously heat treating the cutting blades with a laser to provide an accurately formed and hardened cutting blade. Preferably, the rough machining with conventional cutting tools and the final machining and heat treating by a laser are performed with the same machine tool, such as a computerized numerical control (CNC) machining center. Such a machining center permits rapid and accurate rough machining as well as accurate final laser machining of the cutting blades. The more accurate final machining accomplished by a laser produces a more accurately formed cutting blade and also simultaneously heat treats the blade with minimal distortion of the blade and without any significant distortion of the core or body of the cylinder. <IMAGE>
