Title: Differential pressure sensor
Inventor: SEEBERG BJOERN ERIK
IPC: G01L19/06
Filed: 2008-06-03
Abstract: A differential pressure sensor for measuring a pressure difference between two high-pressure environments is comprised of a sensor block (1) having internal, oil-filled channels (3, 4, 5) leading to an internally positioned differential pressure sensor element (dp). Two process diaphragms (B, C) are provided for transferring pressure from the high-pressure environments for isolating two distinct internal oil channels (4, 3) from the high-pressure environments.  In order to achieve small internal oil volumes in the sensor block (1), additionally two separating discs (A, D), which initially separate between the two internal oil channels (3, 4), are positioned in fluid communication with the high-pressure environments in order to block for the pressure from the high-pressure environments against the oil channels "from behind". The separating discs (A, D) bear against abutment faces (9, 10) having small openings (13,14) into the internal oil channels (3, 4). The separating discs (A, D) are preferably given a pre-tension, and the abutment faces (9, 10) are then shaped correspondingly having a slightly convex shape. Preferably, separating discs (A, D) with no corrugations are used.

Title: Detection of micro-organisms based on their nad-dependent dna ligase activity
Inventor: STANLEY CHRISTOPHER JOHN
IPC: C12Q1/04
Filed: 2008-07-09
Abstract: NAD-dependent ligase is identified as an indicator of micro- organisms in a sample. A method of detecting the presence of an NAD-dependent ligase expressing micro-organism in a sample comprises the steps of: (a) contacting the sample with a nucleic acid molecule which acts as a substrate for NAD-dependent ligase activity in the sample, (b) incubating the thus contacted sample under conditions suitable for NAD-dependent ligase activity; and (c) specifically determining the presence of a ligated nucleic acid molecule resulting from the action of the NAD- dependent ligase on the substrate nucleic acid molecule to indicate the presence of the NAD-dependent ligase expressing micro-organism. The method has a number of applications and kits for carrying out the methods are also provided. Lysostaphin preparations substantially free from nuclease and/or ligase contaminants are produced by heating a lysostaphin preparation which contains nuclease and/or ligase contaminants under conditions whereby nuclease and/or ligase activity is reduced whereas endopeptidase activity of the lysostaphin is substantially unaffected.
