Abstract: A centrifugal spectrometer has a solid rotor ( 10 ) formed within which there are cavities or blades ( 12 ). In use, each blade is filled with a buffer solution, and a sample to be separated is placed in a sample well ( 32 ) at the end of a separation channel ( 24 ). The rotor is spun at a controlled velocity and, at the same time, a controlled potential difference is applied along the length of the blade. The blade shape causes the resultant electric field to vary as a function of radial distance. The sample separates out into bands, which move along the channel ( 24 ) under the combined influence of the centrifugal force and the varying electric field. The bands focus at differing equilibrium points according to their charge/mass ratios. The band positions are determined by a readout head ( 36 ). The dynamic range of the device may be controlled by altering the rotational velocity and the voltages that are applied.

Abstract: L'invention concerne la formation d'une membrane basale par culture cellulaire sur substrat. La face basale des cellules capables de former ladite membrane est revêtue d'un polymère à chaîne d'hydrates de carbone qui peut localiser un récepteur accumulant des éléments de construction de la membrane basale. On élabore un échantillon de membrane basale en traitant des cellules capables de former une membrane basale et adhérant à un support via ladite membrane. Il s'agit d'un traitement par tensioactif visant à solubiliser les constituants lipidiques des cellules et à solubiliser les protéines qui subsistent sur la surface de la membrane basale au moyen d'un mélange de solution alcaline et d'inhibiteur de protéase. On élabore un tissu artificiel par inoculation et culture des cellules choisies qui sont capables de former une membrane basale. En utilisant un polymère d'adsorption à liaison hydrophobe, doté d'un squelette carboné linéaire à caractère hydrophobe, et un groupe fonctionnel capable de réagir avec une protéine (par exemple, copolymère alterné d'éther méthylvinylique et d'anhydride maléique), on fait adhérer provisoirement un support protéique à une surface en plastique, puis on élabore sur cette structure un échantillon de membrane basale ou un tissu artificiel. Le support protéique comportant l'échantillon ou le tissu considérés peut ensuite être séparé physiquement de la surface en plastique lorsque cela est nécessaire.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for standardizing the operation control of mobile radio terminals. According to the invention, an MMI client is installed in the mobile radio terminal, which communicates with an MMI server of a mobile radio network via a radio interface. In the MMI client, various operation procedures for carrying out functions of the mobile radio terminal are filed and the execution of the selected functions proceeds either on the terminal level by means of functional procedures filed in the mobile radio terminal and/or on the network level by means of functional procedures filed in the MMI server. The advantage of the invention is thus the fact that a subscriber to a mobile radio network does not have to acquire new operation procedures when changing to a different mobile radio terminal. The generic procedures can be tailored to the offer of the respective mobile radio network operator.
