Title: Affinity sensor for detecting specific molecular binding events and use thereof
Inventor: FRITZSCHE WOLFGANG
IPC: C12M1/34
Filed: 1999-12-22
Abstract: The invention relates to an affinity sensor for detecting specific molecular binding events, for use in the field of molecular biology, e.g., in medical diagnostics, especially in biosensor technology or in DNA microarreay tests. The aim of the invention is to provide an affinity sensor of this type for rapidity, sensitively, specifically, economically and routinely detecting the presence of molecules, especially bioactive molecules, and to provide special applications for an affinity sensor of this type. To this end, the affinity sensor consists of a support substrate which is provided with at least two electrodes. The electrodes are situated equidistantly from each other and cover an area on both sides, at least this area being provided for receiving immobilised specific binding partners which are capable of coupling complementary corresponding binding partners directly or with other specific binding molecules. The area is established with a minimum width b, in such a way that at least one complementary corresponding binding partner which is provided with an electroconductive particle can be received in the area in such a way as to guarantee the possibility of a tunnel-type contact junction forming between the particle and the electrodes in each case. The affinity sensor is used for biomonitoring.

Title: Vector for introducing a gene into a plant from which a selectable marker gene can be optionally removed
Inventor: SUGITA KOICHI
IPC: C12N15/82
Filed: 1997-05-09
Abstract: The present invention relates to a vector for introducing a desired gene into a plant, wherein a selectable marker gene introduced into a plant cell along with a desired gene is optionally removable from the DNA such as chromosome or the like where it exists and functions, then disappeared the function thereof after its expression, and the expression of the selectable marker gene and the disappearance of the function thereof are detectable by morphological change of the tissue derived from the plant cell into which the selectable marker gene is introduced. Also, the present invention constitutes a vector using a morphological abnormality induction gene as a selectable marker gene, while putting a removable DNA element under control of an inducible promoter, wherein the morphological abnormality induction gene is positioned such that it behaves integrally with the removable DNA element, and wherein a desired gene is positioned such that it does not behave integrally with the removable DNA element.
Patent AU-2681692-A (AU)
Title: Vacuum system for cryostats
IPC: G01N1/06
Filed: 1992-09-17
Abstract: A vacuum system for removal of debris in the form of shavings, particles, or the like has been developed for use inside of a cryostat to evacuate and collect such material as it is generated during specimen preparation using a microtome, also inside of the cryostat. The system includes a vacuum assembly unit containing a vacuum collection nozzle having a suction duct. The cold assembly unit is moveably positioned adjacent to the microtome knife so that debris is suctioned away and removed concurrent with or immediately after its production during cryotomy, and is captured in a cold primary filter. The frozen debris does not melt, but remains rigid while it freeze-dries and is trapped on the filter as cold air flows over and through it, thereby maintaining the collected waste material in a very porous state. This porosity permits the collection of a large volume of debris without clogging the cold filter, in contrast to the rapid clogging which occurs when such frozen debris melts, is suctioned into, collapses within, dries and seals off the pores of a warm filter. When required, the collection nozzle and attached assembly unit can be moveably positioned out of the way of the microtome knife. The system may also include a second bacteriological filter inside or outside of the cryostat to entrap any small quantities of fine debris which may pass through the primary filter after suctioning. When necessary, both types of filters can be efficiently, economically, and safely replaced and discarded.

Title: Belts for compliant calendering
Inventor: DAVENPORT FRANCIS L
IPC: D21G1/00
Filed: 1997-08-08
Abstract: A calender belt for the compliant calendering of a paper web includes an endless base substrate, a staple fiber batt attached to at least the outside of the endless base substrate, and a polymeric resin material totally impregnating the fiber/base composite structure comprising the endless base substrate and the staple fiber batt to a substantially uniform depth. That depth may be such that the polymeric resin material does not reach the base substrate, or partly or completely impregnates the base substrate. A layer of polymeric resin material is built up upon the staple fiber material to a predetermined thickness. Once the polymeric resin material is cured, it is ground to a desired smoothness without exposing any fiber on the ground surface. That the penetration of the polymeric resin material into the staple fiber batt, and possibly into the base substrate, is to a uniform depth enables the calender belt to provide a uniform pressure pulse as it passes with a paper web through the nip in a compliant calender. <IMAGE>
