摘要:
The present invention relates to a method for improved diagnosis of cervical lesions based on detection of gene products encoded by the INK4a gene locus. According to the present invention an improvement in diagnosis may be achieved by assessing the presence or absence or the level of overexpression of at least two different gene products encoded by the INK4a gene locus. In another aspect the present invention relates to peptides derived from cell cycle regulatory proteins, the expression of which is altered in association with tumors in individuals. These peptides according to the present invention may be used for detection and therapy of tumors. For detection purposes the peptides may for example be used to detect antibodies directed against said peptides. In therapeutic respect the peptides may be used for immunotherapy or vaccination approaches. In therapeutic and diagnostic respect the peptides may be used in combination with one or more peptides derived from tumor associated proteins.

A packaging for liquids is made of a flat packaging material. This material has fold lines (6) and a mark (11) placed on a wall area of the packaging. The invention also relates to a blank and to a method for producing a packaging of this type, in which fold lines (6) and the mark (11) are placed in a moving packaging web of material. Afterwards, the web of material is shaped, filled and closed. The aim of the invention is to simplify the production of the packaging and to provide it with a more economical and more precise design. To this end, the invention provides that the mark (11) is formed by stamp lines (25), which lie on a plane and of which at least two straight stamp lines (25) intersect at least in the extension thereof. It is advantageous when the mark (11) has at least one centra-symmetric structure. According to the method, the invention provides that the mark (11) is made by the placement of stamp lines (25) so that the cross-section of the material is U-shaped after stamping, whereby the thickness of the material remains essentially the same.

A MOS or CMOS sensor for high performance imaging in broad spectral ranges including portions of the infrared spectral band. These broad spectral ranges may also include portions or all of the visible spectrum, therefore the sensor has both daylight and night vision capabilities. The sensor includes a continuous multi-layer photodiode structure on a many pixel MOS or CMOS readout array where the photodiode structure is chosen to include responses in the near infrared spectral ranges. A preferred embodiment incorporates a microcrystalline copper indium diselenide/cadmium sulfide photodiode structure on a CMOS readout array. An alternate preferred embodiment incorporates a microcrystalline silicon germanium photodiode structure on a CMOS readout array. Each of these embodiments provides night vision with image performance that greatly surpasses the GEN III night vision technology in terms of enhanced sensitivity, pixel size and pixel count. Further advantages of the invention include low electrical bias voltages, low power consumption, compact packaging, and radiation hardness. In special preferred embodiments CMOS stitching technology is used to provide multi-million pixel focal plane array sensors. One embodiments of the invention made without stitching is a two-million pixel sensor. Other preferred embodiments available using stitching techniques include sensors with 250 million (or more) pixels fabricated on a single wafer. A particular application of these very high pixel count sensors is as a focal plane array for a rapid beam steering telescope in a low earth orbit satellite useful for tracking over a 1500-meter wide track with a resolution of 0.3 meter.

摘要:
A semiconductor imaging device comprising MOS or CMOS pixel circuits having pixel pads separated by insulating material and having a conductive migration blocking layer applied over the pixel pads. The conductive migration blocking layer comprises an electrically conductive material that is inert with respect to selected photoelectric conversion layer materials, and may be formed as individual contacts, or formed as a deposited layer and etched to form distinct pixels covering the underlying pixel pad material. Thereafter, a photoelectric conversion layer is applied over the migration blocking layer material. The basic device is completed by applying a field electrode layer over the photoelectric conversion layer.

A device for mixing and discharging bone cement has a mixing cylinder which consists of two cylinder parts and in which an openworked mixing plunger can be moved axially. The lower cylinder part is sealed off by a discharging plunger. A separating plunger is arranged axially displaceably in the mixing cylinder between the mixing plunger and the discharging plunger, which separating plunger seals off the one cylinder part before the two cylinder parts are connected. The separating plunger has through-flow channels through which a liquid monomer can flow from the lower cylinder part to a pulverulent polymer in the upper cylinder part at the start of the mixing procedure.

A transport device (1) for boards (2) or board-shaped workpieces, especially those having a sensitive surface, preferably for circuit boards which are coated with plastics material, for example UV-hardenable plastics material, with lacquer or the like and then dried, is constructed as a circulating coating system. The device (1) has holders (3) for taking hold of the boards (2) at the edges (2a) thereof when they are being handled, and advancing means, advantageously in the form of chains, for transporting those holders (3). The holder (3) has two parallel bars (10) on each of which there are provided two rows (11, 12) of prongs (13) arranged in the form of a rake, the prongs (13) of the one row (11) of a bar (10) forming an acute angle with those of the second row (12) of that bar (10) and the two rows (11, 12) accordingly being arranged with respect to each other in a "V" shape when viewed in cross-section. The free ends of the prongs (13) of the one bar (10) point towards the free ends of the prongs (13) of the other bar (10). The two bars (10) extend from a common carrier (14) which holds and connects them, on which carrier there is provided at the end from which the bars (10) extend an end-face stop (15) for the boards (2) which has two limbs (15a, 15b) extending at an obtuse angle to each other towards the bars (10), so that a rectangular board being supported abuts only by the corners that are towards that stop (15) (FIG. 1).
摘要:
A method and apparatus for adjusting the alignment of a beam of radiant energy relative to a structure. A target is placed in the path of the beam, with an opaque reticle disposed in front of the target in the path of the beam in predetermined alignment with the structure. The beam impinges on the target to form a beam image and the reticle casts a shadow within the beam image. The positional relationship between the shadow and the outline of the beam image will be altered by any misalignment between the beam and the structure. The target is preferably chosen so that it will be permanently altered by the radiant energy of the beam, and the positional relationship between the shadow and the outline is preferably observed after exposure of the target to the beam.
摘要:
A beverage container for a blender includes one or more vibrating mechanisms coupled to a bottom portion of the beverage container or integrated within one or more walls of the beverage container. After a beverage has been blended, the one or more vibrating mechanisms are activated as the beverage is being poured. Vibrations from the one or more vibrating mechanisms are mechanically transmitted to the beverage container, thereby promoting the pourability of the beverage from the beverage container, including dislodging ingredients in the beverage that became lodged or trapped in crevices of the beverage container during the prior blending process, and freeing up beverage ingredients that accumulated at the bottom of the beverage container during the prior blending process.
