Patent EP-1298377-A2 (EP)
Inventor: VOGEL TODD J
IPC: F16L35/00
Filed: 2002-09-21
Abstract: A coupling assembly for connecting two members is provided that includes a first
"male" member and a second "female" member. The first member 12, 96 includes a
release sleeve (244) moveably mounted thereon having a rigid release portion 208 and a
flexible sealing portion 248. The second member 14 is integrated into an apparatus, such
as a pump, and includes a duct therethrough for receiving the first member 103. Upon
connection of the first and second members, the flexible sealing portion 248 sealingly
engages a recessed seat portion of the second member to substantially inhibit the
ingression of contaminates into the duct when the first and second members are
connected. The foregoing coupling assembly is advantageous because it allows the
second member to be formed directly into an apparatus. In other embodiments, the
coupling assembly provides an improved release sleeve 244 that releases the male
member 12, 96 from both a conventional female member 103 and an integral female
member 14.

IPC: B65D81/32
Filed: 1995-04-13
Abstract: A reagent and container for isolation of cellular components such as ribonucleic acid
(RNA) from cells in a liquid solution. The container includes a cover assembly and a
holder which is normally closed by the cover assembly and contains an RNA extractant
solvent, micron-sized particles and at least one larger particle suitably of millimeter size.
The container contains the reagent, which is an extractant solvent which contains phenol
and guanidinium thiocyanate or guanidinium chloride and has a pH of about 4. The
container also includes a friable sealing layer which separates the extractant solvent from
the liquid medium containing the cells until the container is reciprocally shaken. The
method includes the reciprocal shaking of the container, wherein the larger particle breaks
the friable layer to permit mixing of the liquid medium with the extractant solvent resulting
in the breaking of the cell walls by the micron-sized beads and the release of the RNA.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for recognizing and searching for a face using 2nd-order independent component analysis (ICA) are provided. The method includes performing principal component analysis (PCA) on an input original image and generating a low-pass filtered image by removing high-frequency component from the original image, subtracting the low-pass filtered image from the original image and obtaining a residual image having only high-frequency components, and performing ICA on the residual image and generating feature information corresponding to the original image. 
     While an original ICA subtracts independent components (i.e., independent basis components) from gray scale images, the proposed 2nd-order ICA is robust to illumination variation since it is applied to make the remaining images correspond to high pass frequency components.
