Patent EP-0862053-A2 (EP)
Inventor: RENZ RAINER PROF DR
IPC: G01N3/36
Filed: 1998-02-27
Abstract: The method involves placing a workpiece (11) along a first direction of a cyclic pulling and pressure response. A force detecting device (13) generates a force signal (15) representing the response of the workpiece. A length detector (33) generates a length signal representing a change in length of at least one section of the workpiece. The force signal and the length signal are fed to an analysis device (48,49,51). The latter determines at least one characteristic parameter from the force signal and length signal obtained during one or more response cycles. The workpiece is provided along a second direction with a pattern (40) of contrasting coding strips is scanned by a laser beam along the second direction at a predetermined sample frequency. The sample frequency of the laser beam is greater than the frequency of response of the workpiece. The intensity of the laser light modulated by the coding strips (41) is detected and its temporal cycle forms the length signal. The analysis device determines from the cycle of the length signal the changes in length of different sections of the workpiece. The parameters characteristic of the mechanical-dynamic characteristics of the workpiece are then determined.

Abstract: Detector nucleic acids are employed for detection of nucleic acid target sequences by
fluorescence quenching mechanisms. The detector nucleic acid comprises at least two
oligonucleotides and is partially single-stranded and partially double-stranded. One of the two
dyes of a donor/acceptor dye pair is linked to the first oligonucleotide and the other is linked to
a second oligonucleotide such that they are in close spatial proximity when the first and second
oligonucleotides are base-paired and donor fluorescence is quenched. A single second
oligonucleotide may be hybridized to the first oligonucleotide or multiple second
oligonucleotides may be hybridized to the first oligonucleotide and to each other, forming a
junction structure comprising multiple donor/acceptor dye pairs. The detector oligonucleotide
retains its partially single-stranded and partially double-stranded conformation in the absence of
target. In the presence of target, however, the second oligonucleotide(s) of the detector
nucleic acid is/are completely or partially displaced from the first, increasing the distance
between the donor and acceptor dyes and causing a change in fluorescence which may be
detected as an indication of the presence of the target sequence.

Abstract: The method involves peak value rectification and integration of an input signal containing multipath noise and comparing the result with the unchanged input signal in a comparator circuit which reacts to the negative spikes of the noise causing the input signal to fall below the integrated value, whereupon noise reduction measures are activated. These may involve muting, blending of L and R channels, or lowpass filtering to attenuate higher frequency components in the demodulated signal.

Abstract: An optical disk of the present invention includes a transparent dielectric film formed on a light incident side of the disk on an opposite side of an optical recording film so as to sandwich the transparent substrate therebetween, for suppressing bimetallic effects caused by a difference in thermal expansion between an optical recording film formed on an optical recording surface and the transparent substrate, whereby changes in tilt against temperature changes can be suppressed. Further, by an optimal selection of a reflectance of the transparent dielectric film, unwanted reflection due to multi-interference can be reduced at the same time. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An optical switch includes an optical router portion for distributing multi-wavelength
optical signals received at input ports of the switch, an optical
combiner portion for supplying multi-wavelength signals at the output ports of the
switch, and optical fibers for interconnecting the optical router portion and optical
combiner portion. Selected ones of the interconnecting optical fibers include
wavelength-selective elements, such as fiber gratings, which are capable of
transmitting or reflecting individual channels within the multi-wavelength optical
signal so that a selected channel of a particular wavelength can be routed from any
of the input ports to any of the output ports of the switch. In one exemplary
embodiment, the optical router portion includes a plurality of input optical
couplers, wherein each input optical coupler is associated with a corresponding
input port of the optical switch. Similarly, the optical combiner portion includes a
plurality of output optical couplers, wherein each output optical coupler is
associated with a corresponding output port of the optical switch. Each input
optical coupler together with its associated fiber gratings on the interconnecting
optical fibers is used for distributing the signals received via the input ports while
each output optical coupler together with its associated fiber gratings is used for
combining the signals to be supplied at the output ports of the switch. By
controlling the transmissive and reflective operating modes of the fiber gratings,
the fiber gratings can facilitate the switching of individual channels of the multi-wavelength
optical signals on a wavelength by wavelength basis.
