Patent EP-0143450-B1 (EP)
IPC: B23K26/08
Filed: 1984-11-23
Granted: 1990-08-29
Abstract: A method and apparatus for high speed welding are disclosed wherein a continuous weld is formed at high speed along a member with a plurality of overlapping welds formed by pulses of high density energy from a pulsed high energy density welding device such as an electronically pulsed gas laser. The movement of the member being welded is detected in the vicinity of the pulsed laser. The pulsed laser is controlled in response to the detected movement so that the energy for welding from the pulses per unit length of the member being welded is accurately controlled. The control of the laser involves pulsing of the laser in response to the detected movement of the member so that the pitch of the overlapping welds along the member is substantially constant. Also, the power of the laser pulses is controlled and adjusted in a predetermined manner in response to the detected movements. The high speed movement of the member is detected by detecting the leading edge of the moving member at or upstream of the pulsed laser and also continuously decteing the position of the moving member at or as it moves past the pulsed laser. High quality welds can be made in materials at speeds of 22-40 m/min. or more with the method and apparatus.

Abstract: A financial transaction processing system comprising an IC card (6) for use in transaction with a financial body, terminals (21e-24e) communicating with the IC card (6) and centers (21-24) provided for each financial body. The IC card (6) comprises a read only memory (2) for storing data for specifying transaction accounts corresponding to a plurality of financial bodies and data of a single secret number common to the financial bodies. When the IC card (6) is inserted into the terminal, a customer can designate a specific account which he wishes to use, by operating a keyboard (20) provided in each of the terminals. In response to such designation, the corresponding account specifying data is read out from the ROM, but if the corresponding account is not stored in the ROM 2, a transaction can not be made. In addition, the account specifying data as read out and a claimed amount entered by a customer are sent to a center of each of the financial bodies where processing for payment is performed. However, if and when the balance is not sufficient, the center instructs the customer to select other account. A random access memory (3) included in the IC card (6) is made to store the amount after payment processing in the center, so that a transaction can be made with a cash dispensing terminal in an offline manner, by using such IC card (6).

Abstract: Physical changes induced in the spectral modulation sensor's optically resonant structure by the physical parameter being measured cause microshifts of its reflectivity and transmission curves, and of the selected operating segment(s) thereof being used, as a function of the physical parameter being measured. The operating segments have a maximum length and a maximum microshift of less than about one resonance cycle in length for unambiguous output from the sensor. The input measuring light wavelength(s) are selected to fall within the operating segment(s) over the range of values of interest for the physical parameter being measured. The output light from the sensor's optically resonant structure is spectrally modulated by the optically resonant structure as a function of the physical parameter being measured. The spectrally modulated output light is then converted into analog electrical measuring output signals by detection means. In one form, a single optical fiber carries both input light to and output light from the optically resonant structure. When more than one input measuring light wavelength is used, means may also be provided to divide the input light wavelengths into two portions and then take the ratio thereof. This provides several advantages simultaneously, such as enabling longer operating segments and microshifts to be used for greater sensitivity or detection range, and also eliminates certain errors caused by fluctuations in input light intensity or by changes in light intensity caused by optical fiber bending and optical fiber connectors.

Abstract: Nucleic acid probe assay methods, particularly sandwich assay methods, and compositions for use therein. The methods of the invention employ novel, oligonucleotide probe-derivatized solid supports, in which oligonucleotide probe, of 15-100 bases in a sequence complementary to a sequence of nucleic acid analyte, is terminally covalently bound. The solid supports of the invention are based on beads of amino-, sulfhydryl, or carboxyl-derivatized controlled pore glass, cyanogen bromide-treated cross-linked dextran, or polystyrene. The linkage between the terminally bound oligonucleotide and the support is effected through these groups, with which the support material is derivatized. The methods of the invention are based on several unexpected discoveries made in the course of investigating the properties of the novel solid supports of the invention: (A) There is little difference between carrying out a sandwich assay by (i) simultaneously hybridizing analyte to solid-support-bound probe and labeled probe in solution and (ii) first hybridizing analyte and labeled probe and then hybridizing analyte to solid support-bound probe. (B) The efficiency of capture of analyte is increased by prehybridizing probe-derivatized solid-support with non-homologous nucleic acid or dextran sulfate or both. (C) The presence of dextran sulfate in a hybridizing solution significantly increases the efficiency of capture of analyte by probe-derivatized solid support. The invention also entails test kits for nucleic acid probe sandwich assays with the solid supports of the invention.
