telephone numbers, addresses, credit card numbers,
shipping method, etc. The scanner can be used for auto-dialling,
mail-ordering and keeping track of sales and
inventory. Another embodiment discloses a portable
remote controller (10) for a TV and VCR which includes a
bar code scanner enabling the user to scan in programme
times from bar code symbols (20) printed in TV guides
(22). The scanned information is stored in memory, and
when the time for the programme arrives, the controller

Abstract: Adaptive optical elements for use in high precision lithography
exposure are provided with an array of discrete actuators to provide highly
stable and repeatable correction of the shape of an optical element to an
accuracy of a small fraction of a very short wavelength of light in the EUV
range of 1 to 50 nanometers, responsive to a metrology source and sensor
arrangement. The actuators are matched to the deformation characteristics of
the adaptive optical elements. Preferably, the actuators provide both positive
and negative force for outward and/or inward deflection continuously over the
surface of the mirror. The surface of the optical element may thus be

Abstract: The invention disclosed herein presents an antigen-capture immunoassay that utilizes
serum, plasma, milk, urine, saliva, or other bodily fluid samples to identify cattle infected
with the Bovine Viral Diarrhea Virus (BVDV). The results of this assay allow an
effective, reliable, quick, and cost efficient way to identify, and thereby remove, infected
cattle and/or other ruminants from otherwise uninfected herds. The BVD virus causes an
acute enteric disease with a variety of clinical manifestations, and is closely related to
sheep border disease virus (BDV) and hog cholera virus (HCV). The traditional method of
detecting infected animals, including persistently infected (PI) carriers, has been through
.the .use of virus isolation procedures. While .this older test methodology can detect
infected animals, the virus isolation test can only be performed by highly trained
technicians in a highly specialized laboratory facility. The kit disclosed herein uses
ELISA methodology, employs the BVDV antigen specific monoclonal antibody 15.c.5,
and requires at least 100 µl of sample per assay.
