Title: Device for concentrating or collimating radiant energy
Inventor: DOMINGUEZ JUAN CARLOS MINANO
IPC: F24S23/30
Filed: 2000-12-01
Abstract: This invention consists in a nonimaging device for concentration or collimation of radiation on a receiver or from an emitter (14), depending on the case. The device is made up of the lens (50), which surrounds the receiver and consists of the aspheric surface (21), and the lens (15), whose upper refractive surface (16) may be aspheric, while the lower surface is aspheric (17) in its central portion (between points 18 and 19) and has a structure with discontinuous slope (20) in its external portion, in which the faces (22) fundamentally refract the rays while the faces (23) reflect them by total internal reflection. The design method provides that the device properties of concentration/collimation are noticeably superior to those of the existing inventions. Possible applications of this lens include: radiation sensors, illumination systems with LEDs, wireless optical communications and photovoltaic solar energy. <IMAGE>

Title: Fluorescence detection assay for homogeneous pcr hybridization systems
Inventor: CESARE JOSEPH L DI
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 1997-01-31
Abstract: An improved assay system for homogeneous assay detection and/or measuring target nucleic acid sequence replicated in a PCR amplification procedure is provided by employing a nucleic acid polymerase having 5' to 3' exonuclease activity and devoid of 3' to 5' exonuclease activity, oligonucleotide analytical probe blocked against chain extension at its 3' terminus and labeled at its 5' terminus with an energy transfer donor fluorophore, and oligonucleotide detection probe labeled at its 3' terminus with an energy transfer acceptor fluorophore, said probes being complements of each other but differing in nucleotide length so that their Tm's are at least 10 DEG  C. apart, the Tm of the oligonucleotide analytical probe is equal to or greater than the Tm's of the oligonucleotide primers used in the PCR amplification procedure and the Tm of the oligonucleotide detection probe is lower than the temperature required to conduct the PCR thermal cycling steps of the PCR amplification procedure so that during the PCR thermal cyclic steps 5' fluorophore labeled nucleotide fragments are produced during the PCR extension phase by the 5' to 3' exonuclease activity of the nucleic acid polymerase on oligonucleotide analytical probe annealed to denatured strands of the target nucleic acid sequence. Detection or measurement of either (a) the 5' fluorophore labeled nucleotide fragments produced during the thermal cyclic steps and measured by fluorescence polarization or (b) oligonucleotide analytical probe hybridized to oligonucleotide detection probe measured spectrophotometrically by energy transfer measurement, provide a measure of the amount of oligonucleotide analytical probe used up in the amplification of the target nucleic acid sequence and thus provide a measure of amount of target nucleic acid sequence amplified in the PCR replication procedure.

Patent AU-2243601-A (AU)
Title: Channel-type switching control
Inventor: MALMLOF JIM
IPC: H04W28/18
Filed: 2000-12-08
Abstract: After a mobile user connection is assigned a particular type of channel, a sliding window with a predetermined number of time intervals is established for that connection. For each of the time intervals in that sliding window, information associated with the type of channel supporting the mobile radio connection is determined. The associated information may include one or more parameters including the type of channel currently supporting the connection, an amount of data to be transmitted for the mobile user connection, a requested quality of service, etc. The information in the sliding window is analyzed for a pattern or trend. Different patterns or trends may be used to assist in making channel-type switching as well as other decisions, e.g., power regulation. The analyzed sliding window information may be used both to determine when it is desirable to switch a user connection to another channel type and to prevent or reduce inefficient, excessive, or rapid switching of the user connection between different channel types.

Title: Oligonucleotides containing pyrazolo(3,4-d)pyrimidines for hybridization and mismatch discrimination
Inventor: MEYER RICH B JR
IPC: C12Q1/6827
Filed: 1999-04-05
Abstract: Oligonucleotides in which one or more purine residues are substituted by pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidines exhibit improved hybridization properties. Oligonucleotides containing pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine base analogues have higher melting temperatures than unsubstituted oligonucleotides of identical sequence. Thus, in assays involving hybridization of an oligonucleotide probe to a target polynucleotide sequence, higher signals are obtained. In addition, mismatch discrimination is enhanced when pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine-containing oligonucleotides are used as hybridization probes, making them useful as probes and primers for hybridization, amplification and sequencing procedures, particularly those in which single- or multiple-nucleotide mismatch discrimination is required.
