摘要:
An improved dual gridded reflector antenna configuration which allows cross-polarization radiation to be scanned in any given direction. The dual-gridded reflector assembly includes a front parabolic reflector illuminated by a first source, and a second parabolic reflector illuminated by a second source. The second reflector is positioned adjacent to and behind the front reflector such that the center points of the reflectors align to define a center axis. Additionally, the first and second sources are positioned at different offsets with respect to the reflectors and have a respective rotated offset angle with respect to the center axis such that the sources define an antenna feed separation. By modifying the offsets and the rotated offset angles, the feed separation can be designed to have an inclination with respect to the north-south or east-west feed separation direction.
摘要:
The ability to determine the stage or pathway of cysteine proteases in a single cell assay has long been desired as a material event in apoptosis. The present invention relates to a method and assay reagents for determining enzyme activity and relating said activity to the apoptotic pathway. In addition, the method find utility in distinguishing apoptotic activity from necrotic activity.
