Antibody/signal-generating moiety conjugates are disclosed that include an antibody covalently linked to a signal-generating moiety through a heterobifunctional polyalkyleneglycol linker. The disclosed conjugates show exceptional signal-generation in immunohistochemical and in situ hybridization assays on tissue sections and cytology samples. In one embodiment, enzyme-metallographic detection of nucleic acid sequences with hapten-labeled probes can be accomplished using the disclosed conjugates as a primary antibody without amplification.

摘要:
It is sometimes desirable to protect a design used in a PLD from being copied. According to the present invention, the design is encrypted, then loaded into a PLD, then decrypted, and then loaded into the configuration memory of the PLD. An attacker could relocate the design to a visible part of the PLD and learn the design. The present invention prevents design relocation by attaching address information to the encryption key or by encrypting an address where the design is to be loaded as well as encrypting the design itself. Thus, if an attacker tries to load the design into a different part of the PLD, the encrypted design will not decrypt properly.
摘要:
Structures and methods of including processor capabilities in an existing PLD architecture with minimal disruption to the existing general interconnect structure. In a PLD including a column of block RAM (BRAM) blocks, the BRAM blocks are modified to create specialized logic blocks including a RAM, a processor, and a dedicated interface coupled between the RAM, the processor, and the general interconnect structure of the PLD. The additional area is obtained by increasing the width of the column of BRAM blocks. Because the interconnect structure remains virtually unchanged, the interconnections between the specialized logic blocks and the adjacent tiles are already in place, and the modifications do not affect the PLD routing software. In some embodiments, the processor can be optionally disabled, becoming transparent to the user. Other embodiments provide methods of modifying a PLD to include the structures and provide the capabilities described above.

The invention provides novel reagents, reagent kits, and methods for automated hybridization. More particularly, the invention provides reagents, reagent kits, and methods for automated in situ hybridization and automated hybridization on a microarray. The use of automated instruments for in situ hybridization and microarray hybridization dramatically reduces the amount of labor and time involved and also facilitates standardization of protocols and consistency between results.
摘要:
To prevent copying of a design implemented in a programmable logic device (PLD), the PLD itself stores a decryption key or keys loaded by the designer, and includes a decryptor for decrypting an encrypted configuration bitstream as it is loaded into the PLD. The PLD also includes logic for reading header information that indicates whether the bitstream is encrypted, and can accept both encrypted and unencrypted bitstreams. The encryption keys may be stored in non-volatile memory or backed up with a battery so that they are retained when power is removed.
