Abstract: Nitrile oxide compounds are extremely reactive
toward multiple bonds in organic compounds and
polymers. This high level of reactivity allows for
dinitrile oxides to cure (crosslink) olefin-containing
polymers under very mild conditions. This invention
discloses a process for the synthesis of stable aryl
nitrile oxides which comprises the sequential steps of
(1) halomethylating a halomethyl group onto a
substituted aromatic compound having at least one
substituent group selected from the group consisting
of alkyl groups, aryl groups, fused aryl groups,
alkaryl groups, halogen atoms, alkoxy groups and nitro
groups, wherein said halomethyl group is
halomethylated onto a position that is ortho to at
least one of the substituent groups on the substituted
aromatic compound; (2) converting the ortho
halomethylated-substituted aromatic compound into an
ortho-substituted aromatic aldehyde by reacting the
ortho halomethylated-substituted aromatic compound
with a salt selected from the group consisting of
sodium 2-nitropropane and potassium 2-nitropropane in
a lower alcohol solvent; (3) converting the ortho-substituted
aromatic aldehyde into an ortho-substituted
aromatic oxime by reacting the ortho-substituted
aromatic aldehyde with hydroxylamine; and
(4) converting the ortho-substituted aromatic oxime
into the ortho-substituted aryl nitrile oxide by
reacting the ortho-substituted aromatic oxime with an
aqueous sodium hypochlorite solution at a temperature
which is within the range of about -5°C to about 20°C.

Abstract: The present invention relates more particularly to the LiPA (line probe assay) technology
which is in essence a method for detecting target sequences present in a biological sample
comprising at least the following steps:
   a) possibly amplifying nucleic acids present in the biological sample by means of a set of
primers,   b) providing a solid support onto which nucleotide probes have been immobilized in the form
of parallel lines,   c) incubating the nucleic acids present in said biological sample with said solid support under
conditions enabling hybridization between the probes and the target sequence possibly present
in said analyte strand,   d) detecting the hybrids formed in step c).    
     This LiPA technology allows an easy and fast determination of HCV types and their
subtypes present in patient serum. This technology also forms an easy and reliable general
typing system for other parenterally transmitted human viral diseases. If analyte strand
amplification is necessary, a set of primers can be provided per viral organism to be
differentiated and classified. 
     The present invention also relates to diagnostic kits comprising essentially a solid support,
particularly a membrane strip, containing on known locations of its surface a selection of
nucleic acid probes applied in the form of parallel lines.

Abstract: Slackness of a ball spline joint which engages a first member of a circular
shape and a second member fitted outside of the first member is measured by
measuring a displacement of a first measurement point (P1) and a second
measurement point (P2). The measurement points are set on the radial line
passing through the center of the first member and the center of the spline
groove. Using the distances ( R1, R2 ) between the center of the first member
and the measurement points (P1, P2), and the displacement amount ( A1 ,  A2 )
of the measurement points (P1, P2) under a predetermined relative torque, the
slackness of the joint is calculated. By arranging the measurement points
(P1,P2) on either side of the center of the first member, the effect of measurement
error in the displacement amount ( A1 ,  A2 ) on the calculation is reduced.
