Inventor: AWAZU SHOJI
IPC: G01N33/483
Filed: 2001-10-03
Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé selon lequel l'effet pharmaceutique d'un médicament administré à un corps vivant ayant une excroissance tissulaire ou cellulaire (tumeur maligne, etc.) est visualisé à un stade précoce, de sorte que le criblage d'un éventuel composé destiné à un nouveau médicament ou bien une méthode adaptée d'utilisation d'un médicament sont établis dans un bref délai.

Abstract: An aluminium foil rolling method comprising the steps of taking two strips o f aluminium, bringing facing surfaces of the two strips into contact with one another and subjecting the two strips to a first pack rolling operation, thence subjecting the same two strips to a second pack rolling operation whilst maintaining the two strips in substantially the same registry as when the first pack rolling operation was carried out. Advantageously, following the first pack rolling operation, the two strips are coiled together onto a common coil in order to assist in maintaining their registry for the second pack rolling operation. In an embodiment, a release material is applied to t he facing surfaces of at least one of the strips prior to bringing them togethe r for the first pack rolling operation, and a further amount of release material, less than that applied before the first pack rolling operation, or even a zero amount, is applied between the two pack rolling operations.</SDO AB>

Title: Ultrasonic transducer element and assembly for sensing system
Inventor: BERGQVIST THOMAS
IPC: G01S15/931
Filed: 2002-03-07
Abstract: An improved transducer for a proximity sensing system using a sonar transmitter is disclosed. An autonomous device provided with a number of mot or- driven wheels further comprises a number of elements for the proximity navigation and guiding of the device such as a microprocessor system and a proximity ultrasonic sensing system comprising at least one transmitting member and one receiving member. The transmitting member is formed by the ultrasound transducer (11), which is positioned behind a wire mesh at the front of the device. The device transmits ultrasonic waves from a first stri p- shaped device (21) with a narrow vertical distribution within a wide horizontal sector, and a second strip-shaped device (22) providing a wider vertical distribution within a similarly wide horizontal sector in front of the autonomous device. The proximity sensing system comprises a number of microphone units provided with hollow pipes for the sound and forming a inpu t portion of a receiving system for receiving echoes of the transmitted ultrasonic waves reflected from objects in the forward course of the moving device. With this arrangement of transmitting and receiving, echoes from the floor or ground as well for instance sharp edged carpets or the like will be heavily suppressed. This then gibes a much more simplified detection of objects in the zone near to the device, where echoes from a floor or ground and the device itself become very strong.

Dans certains aspects de l'invention, le transfert d'énergie de résonance de fluorescence (FRET) est détecté. Dans d'autres aspects de l'invention, la polarisation de fluorescence (FP) est détectée. Dans des modes de réalisation préférés, une molécule cible telle qu'une protéine cible est chauffée à une température, notée T¿ATLAS?, à laquelle au moins une partie de la molécule cible se déplie, en la présence d'un composé d'essai. Dans certains modes de réalisation de la présente invention, le degré de dépliement de la molécule cible est déterminé par liaison d'un élément de liaison donné spécifique de la forme dépliée d'une molécule cible couplée à un fluorophore qui peut participer au FRET. Dans certains autres modes de réalisation de l'invention, le degré de dépliement d'une molécule cible est déterminé par une détection de FRET d'agrégats de la molécule cible. Dans d'autres modes de réalisation de l'invention, le degré de dépliement d'une molécule cible est déterminé par une détection de polymérisation de fluorescence d'agrégats de la molécule cible. L'invention a également pour objet des systèmes de criblage sensibles à rendement élevé destinés à l'identification de ligands de molécules cibles qui ne dépendent pas de l'identité ou de la fonction de la molécule cible.

Title: Method and apparatus for growing semiconductor crystals with a rigid support with carbon doping and resistivity control and thermal gradient control
Inventor: LIU XIAO GORDON
IPC: C30B21/02
Filed: 2002-07-03
Abstract: Group III-V, II-VI and related monocrystalline compounds are grown with a rigid support of a sealed ampoule, carbon doping and resistivity control, an d thermal gradient control in a crystal growth furnace. A support cylinder provides structural support for the combined sealed ampoule crucible assembl y, while low-density insulating material inside the support cylinder deters convection and conduction heating. Radiation channels penetrating the low- density material provide pathways for radiation heating into out of the seed well and transition regions of the crystal growth crucible. A hollow core in the insulation material directly beneath the seed well provides cooling in t he center of the growing crystal, which enables uniform, level growth of the crystal ingot and a flat crystal-melt interface which results in crystal wafers with uniform electrical properties.
