    摘要: The invention features a novel gene encoding methionine synthase reductase. The invention also features a method for detecting an increased likelihood of hyperhomocysteinemia and, in turn, an increased or decreased likelihood of neural tube defects, cardiovascular disease, Down's Syndrome or cancer. The invention also features therapeutic methods for treating and/or reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease, Down's Syndrome, cancer, or neural tube defects. Also provided are the sequences of the human methionine synthase reductase gene and protein and compounds and kits for performing the methods of the invention.

    摘要: A solid state electrochemical sensor includes a conductive base layer which supports a chemically sensitive membrane, a guard ring layer located below the base layer and insulated therefrom by a dielectric insulator ring layer. The two ring layers define a central hole through which access to the underside of the base layer is provided. The side wall of the hole is coated with a dielectric oxide layer and a metal conductor is laid on the oxide layer and is ohmically bonded to the base layer. A second dielectric oxide layer covers the metal conductor and a metallic inner guard layer covers the second dielectric oxide layer and is in ohmic contact with the guard ring layer. A CMOS buffer amplifier (voltage follower amplifier) is formed on the lower surface of the guard ring layer. The input to the buffer amplifier is coupled to the conductor in ohmic contact with the base layer and the output of the buffer amplifier is coupled to the guard ring. The guard ring and the metallic inner guard layer form an active shield (guard) around the conductor which transmits the potential of the membrane to the amplifier. The amplifier powers the guard to the same potential as the membrane which insures that the membrane potential is read properly without corruption due to capacitive loading by parasitics, shorting caused by leakage currents, or capacitively coupled noise.

    摘要: An optical apparatus consisting of a laser for producing a coherent polarized beam of electromagnetic radiation of a preselected wavelength. A substrate of silicon has a first transparent cover layer for receiving the polarized beam substantially normally incident thereto, and a second transparent guide layer for receiving the polarized beam from the first layer and for supporting at least one resonant mode. The first and second layers have a preselected index of refraction and a grating is interposed between them, having a grating period less than half the preselected wavelength. The layers and grating interact to produce a standing wave resonance by Bragg reflection. A control obtains a resonance wavelength in the guide layer equal to the predetermined radiation wavelength and thereby high reflectance to modulate the polarized beam. The grating can be optimized for angular bandwidth by controlling the grating's Fourier components either in a single layer or in two grating layers which can also include a termination.
