Abstract: The object of the present invention is to measure the silanol group concentration in silicon compound, rapidly and at a high accuracy by infrared spectrophotometry. A silicon compound, when comes in contact with, for example, water in the air, reacts therewith immediately, forming a silanol group. Therefore, in measurement of the silanol group concentration in silicon compound, it is necessary that the sample to be measured is not contacted with the air and that the very small amount of water adhering to the inside of a sample cell is removed completely. <??>In the present invention, the removal of water inside the cell in a short time has been made possible by use of a pressure-resistant cell. <??>The first aspect of the present invention lies in:  a method for measurement of silanol group concentration in silicon compound by infrared spectrophotometry, which comprises:  conducting, prior to filling of a silicon compound in a cell, at least twice each of a step of keeping the cell inside at 20 Pa or lower and a step of keeping the cell inside at 0.2 to 1 MPa, then, introducing the silicon compound into the cell and measuring the infrared absorption spectrum thereof, to measure the concentration of the silanol group in the silicon compound.   <??>The second aspect of the present invention lies in:  a cell used for measurement of infrared absorption spectrum, which can withstand a reduced pressure of 20 Pa or lower and a pressure of 0.2 to 1 MPa. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Methods and apparatus are presented for determining the type of acoustic signal and the type of frequency spectrum exhibited by the acoustic signal in order to selectively delete parameter information before vector quantization. The bits that would otherwise be allocated to the deleted parameters can then be re-allocated to the quantization of the remaining parameters, which results in an improvement of the perceptual quality of the synthesized acoustic signal. Alternatively, the bits that would have been allocated to the deleted parameters are dropped, resulting in an overall bit-rate reduction.

Abstract: The present invention involves a method of coupling disulfide bridge containing proteins to a carrier by inducing the formation of thiol groups on a protein with irradiation, and coupling the protein to the carrier. The formation of thiol group(s) in the protein is a consequence of the disruption of disulfide bridges following electronic excitation of aromatic amino acid residues located in close spacial proximity to the disulfide bridge. The light-induced coupling method facilitates the orientated immobilization of a protein on a carrier.
