Abstract: An electrosurgical system and method allow the surgical team to perform electrosurgical interventions, such as ablation and cutting of body structures, while limiting the depth of necrosis and limiting damage to tissue adjacent the treatment site. The system includes an electrosurgical probe having a shaft with a proximal end, a distal end, and at least one active electrode at or near the distal end. The active electrode includes at least one active portion having a surface geometry configured to promote substantially high electric field intensities and associated current densities between the active portion and the target site when a high frequency voltage is applied to the electrodes. These high electric field intensities and current densities are sufficient to break down the tissue by processes including molecular dissociation or disintegration. The high frequency voltage imparts energy to the target site to ablate a thin layer of tissue without causing substantial tissue necrosis beyond the boundary of the thin layer of tissue ablated. This ablative process can be precisely controlled to effect the volumetric removal of tissue as thin as a few layers of cells with minimal heating of or damage to surrounding or underlying tissue structures.

Abstract: The invention involves applying a thermoplastic composition to fibers (10), such as reinforcing fibers (12) suitable for making a composite article, so as to size and/or preimpregnate the fibers. The composition has a relatively low viscosity and is substantially solvent-free and non-radiation curable. Heat energy may be employed to lower the viscosity and improve the wetting ability of the applied composition and/or to increase the molecular weight of, or otherwise cure, the composition with essentially no generation of solvent vapor. The treated fibers (32) are used to form a composite strand (14), which may be subsequently processed in-line or off-line into a composite article having fibers disposed in a polymeric matrix. The invention provides also a thermoplastic composition for use in such a method. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The present invention provides methods and apparatus for identifying, selecting and characterizing biomolecules in a biological sample. A two-dimensional array is generated by separating biomolecules present in a complex mixture. A computer-readable profile is constructed representing the identity and relative abundance of a plurality of biomolecules detected by imaging the two dimensional array. Computer-mediated comparison of profiles from multiple samples permits automated identification of subsets of biomolecules that satisfy pre-ordained criteria. Identified biomolecules can be automatically isolated from the two dimensional array by a robotic device in accordance with computer-generated instructions. A supported gel suitable for electrophoresis is provided that is bonded to a solid support such that the gel has two-dimensional spatial stability and the solid support is substantially non-interfering with respect to detection of a label, such as a fluorescent label, associated with one or more biomolecules in the gel. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method for manufacturing an orifice plate used for a liquid discharge provided with discharge port for discharging liquid comprises the steps of preparing a non-conductive plate having recessed portion formed on the circumference of the flat portion corresponding to the discharge port, forming a first conductive material peelable from the non-conductive plate only in the recessed portion of the non-conductive plate, forming a plate member by plating the first conductive material with a second conductive material by electroforming method after the formation of the first conductive material, and obtaining the orifice plate having the discharge port by peeling off the plate member from the non-conductive plate. With the method thus arranged, it is possible to materialize the same precision as in the glass mask used for photolithography, and make the variation of orifice areas smaller for the formation of highly densified orifices. <IMAGE>
