Inventor: LAU CHI-SANG
IPC: G01R15/18
Filed: 1999-05-31
Abstract: The alternating current measuring device of the present invention has a transformer-like iron core structure , the circuit in which the current to be measured is connected to the primary winding (current input winding), the secondary winding comprises two independent units, namely output current winding and measuring winding. The conductor for the output current winding is of high stability with low temperature coefficient of resistance. Nearly the entire induced current in the secondary side flows in the output current winding, finally the induced voltage in the measuring winding is detected by the measuring device. By this scheme those disadvantages of the conventional measuring device such as high temperature rise , high resistance caused by increased temperature coefficient of the conductor and the load resistance effect are minimized to achieve the aim of high accuracy alternating current measurement.

Title: Nucleic acid archiving
Inventor: ROEHL CHRISTOPHER A
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 1998-04-16
Abstract: This invention is directed to a process for irreversibly binding nucleic acid to solid phase and corresponding processes for the utilization thereof.     Nucleic acid is bound to solid phase matrixes exhibiting sufficient hydrophilicity and electropositivity to irreversibly bind the nucleic acids from a sample. These processes include nucleic acid (double or single stranded DNA and RNA) capture from high volume:low concentration specimens, buffer changes, washes, and volume reductions, and enable the interface of solid phase bound nucleic acid with enzyme, hybridization or amplification strategies. The invention, solid phase irreversibly bound nucleic acid, may be used, for example, in repeated analyses to confirm results or test additional genes in both research and commercial applications.

Title: Annularly expanding and retracting gripping and releasing mechanism
Inventor: LIPPITT RAYMOND F
IPC: A61B18/14
Filed: 1998-04-29
Abstract: An annularly expanding and retracting gripping and releasing mechanism comprises an annular array of longitudinally fixed flexure elements and a corresponding number of longitudinally movable flexure elements. The arrangement is such that a longitudinally outward movement of the longitudinally movable flexure elements within the annular array of longitudinally fixed tubular flexure elements causes the fixed flexure elements to flex transversely outwardly and creates an annularly expanded condition defined by an annular series of transversely outwardly flexed fixed flexure elements interconnected at their flexure points by an annular series of arcuately outwardly flexed portions of the movable flexure elements. A manual movement in the opposite direction effects a longitudinally inward movement of the movable flexure elements to cause the expanded condition to progressively retract during which the outwardly flexed fixed flexure elements are progressively less flexed transversely outwardly and the arcuately flexed portions of the movable flexure elements have a progressively less arcuate extent.
Patent CA-2288356-A1 (CA)
Inventor: LAKHANI FAIZEL
IPC: H04Q11/04
Filed: 1999-11-02
Abstract: A method and apparatus for completing telephone calls between trunk subnetworks overlaid on an ATM backbone is described. Each of the trunk subnetworks include a call manager which is configured for exchanging signaling messages with both a common channel signaling network and the ATM backbone network. This permits ATM facility providers to link subnetworks using a common infrastructure so that calls can be effectively diverted from the PSTN between end offices while fully supporting PSTN/ISDN services. This is achieved by using a signaling method in which call request messages are encoded by a first call manager with a parameter so that a second call manager in the signaling path can effect backward call set up between ATM interfaces using data from the parameter. The advantage is the extension of call completion between subnetworks overlaid on an ATM backbone using ATM facilities without sacrificing PSTN/ISDN call features.
