Abstract: The present invention relates to a curing assembly comprising at least two light sources combined into one light path, wherein the light sources are capable of curing a material exposed to the combined light path. The invention also relates to a method of curing a material or material in contact with a heat sensitive material comprising providing a curable material or a material associated with a heat sensitive material and exposing curable material to a combined light path from the curing assembly.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of aligning comprising providing a support, applying a transparent layer, patterning at least the transparent layer to produce a pattern and an alignment feature capable of scattering light, illuminating the support and the transparent layer with oblique lighting, providing an analysis system capable of sensing scattered light from the alignment feature and referencing, sensing the scattered light from the alignment feature; referencing the scattered light from the alignment feature to a position on said support; and aligning a second operation to the position.

Abstract: A process for the recovery of an intracellular enzyme from an aerobic soil microorganism is disclosed. The recovery method is carried out by(a) forming an aqueous suspension of microbial cells containing the desired intracellular enzyme,(b) disrupting the microbial cells in the suspension to release the enzyme from the cells, and(c) before, during, or after step (b) and prior to removal of disrupted microbial cells and other cellular components, introducing a water-miscible organic solvent into the suspension to form a mixture of the organic solvent and the enzyme-containing suspension.The desired enzyme is retained in the liquid phase of the mixture formed in step (c) while undesired cellular components such as other microbial cell proteins precipitate therefrom.
