  • User controlled off-center light absorbance reading adjuster in a liquid handling and reaction system
    Patent number: 4873633
    Abstract: A host computer controls a plate reader which optically reads the results between donor samples and reagents. The system provides the user with the ability to change the position of off-center light absorbance readings to maximize the power of the machine to discriminate between positive and negative agglutination reactions. In addition, the user can tailor thresholds for absorbances used to distinguish between positive, negative and "no type determined" reactions.

  • Sulfur-aggregate compositions and methods for preparing
    Patent number: 4332912
    Abstract: Sulfur cement-aggregate compositions such as sulfur cement concrete and mortars, comprising a sulfur cement and an aggregate and processes for preparing such products. The composition is characterized by the use of an expansive clay contaminated aggregate, which has been pretreated with a salt solution (e.g., KCl, CaCl.sub.2, etc.). The salt solution pretreatment substantially improves the water stability of the final sulfur cement and aggregate product.
