  • Publication number: 20210381026
    Abstract: The present invention provides an improved immuno-PCR method by using cDNA display comprising the steps of: immobilizing a first antibody having a binding site to a solid phase: contacting a sample fluid to said antibody to bind a target molecule in said sample fluid; contacting said target molecule to a cDNA display being composed of a backbone being composed of a double strand and a side chain having a second antigen binding site to which the second antibody is bound; and conducting polymerase chain reaction to detect said cDNA quantitatively. According to the improved immune-PCR method of the present invention, the target molecule is screened and obtained quantitatively, because it uses cDNA display being composed of one protein/peptide and one DNA.

  • Patent number: 11125550
    Abstract: A method of optically measuring a surface of a measurement object is disclosed. The method includes generating image light having an image pattern, projecting the generated image light onto the measurement object, and recording influenced light having an influenced image pattern. The image light is generated by an image generation device and the influenced light is captured by a capturing device. The influenced light is light that is reflected, scattered, diffracted, and/or transmitted by the measurement object based on interaction of the image light with the measurement object. The method further includes applying a correcting function to the image light. The correction function alters the image light such that the influenced image pattern recorded by the capturing device shows temporally and/or locally an at least approximately constant and/or homogenous and/or linear brightness. A device having an image generation device, image capture device, and correcting device is also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 11098753
    Abstract: An end piece suitable for forming a spacer for a roll having two concentric tubes with axis, including spokes connecting two inner and outer cylindrical portions, and is where a fluid circuit originating from the center towards the periphery includes a first circumferential groove arranged in the inner cylindrical portion and a second circumferential groove arranged in the outer cylindrical portion connected by at least one pipe, such that the end piece makes it possible to reduce the weight of the roll by approximately 20%, to facilitate the balancing of the roll while ensuring accessibility to the inside of the roll between the two tubes and to enable easy mounting without indexing due to the circumferential grooves, and where the end piece with spokes enables access to the inside of the roll when it is mounted and thus enables both more accurate balancing than with solid end pieces that require the piercing of the outer tube and the invisibility of this balancing from the outside of the roll.
