Abstract: The invention provides a method for the quantification of a biomolecule in a complex mixture of biomolecules which comprises a fractionation of the mixture of biomolecules providing at least two fractions with at least one distinct component each. These fractions are then subjected to serial combinatorial dilution. Subsequently, the biomolecule is detected and identified in the fractions by a method providing a sensitivity threshold and identify information. The quantity of the biomolecule is determined by summarizing the number of identifications of the biomolecule in each fraction on each dilution level in consideration of the respective dilution factor. For purpose of normalization this sum may be divided by the total number of identifications of all biomolecules in all fractions on all dilution levels.

Abstract: A method for auto-calibration of at least one tool (36) in a single point turning machine (10) used for manufacturing in particular ophthalmic lenses (L) is proposed, in which a test piece of special, predetermined geometry is cut with the tool and then probed to obtain probe data. The method subsequently uses the probe data to mathematically and deterministically identify the necessary tool / machine calibration corrections in two directions (X, Y) of the machine. Finally these corrections can be applied numerically to all controllable and/or adjustable axes (B, F1, X, Y) of the machine in order to achieve a (global) tool / machine calibration applicable to all work pieces within the machines operating range. As a result two-dimensional (2D) tool / machine calibration can be performed in a reliable and economic manner.

Abstract: There is provided a flip-chip mounting resin composition which can be used for a flip-chip mounting process that is high in productivity and reliability and thus can be applicable to a flip-chip mounting of a next-generation LSI. This flip-chip mounting resin composition comprises a resin, metal particles and a convection additive 12 that boils upon heating the resin 13. Upon the heating of the resin 13, the metal particles melt and the boiling convection additive 12 convects within the resin 13. This flip-chip mounting resin composition is supplied between a circuit substrate 10 and a semiconductor chip 20, and subsequently the resin 13 is heated so that the molten metal particles self-assemble into the region between each electrode of the circuit substrate and each electrode of the semiconductor chip. As a result, an electrical connection is formed between each electrode of the circuit substrate and each electrode of the semiconductor chip. Finally, the resin 13 is allowed to cure so that the semiconductor chip 20 is secured to the circuit substrate 10, which leads to in a formation of a flip chip assembly.
