Abstract: Ethers and esters of cyanohydrins that contain optically detectable moieties are highly effective for detecting, monitoring, and measuring the activity of enzymes that cause the cleavage of certain types of substrates. The cyanohydrins function as proaldehydes and proketones, spontaneously converting to aldehydes and ketones, respectively, which provide a large increase in optical detectability relative to both the starting esters and ethers and the cyanohydrins.

Abstract: The present invention provides a system and method for enabling the synchronization of a switch and an interface device. Based on a comparison of cell sequence numbers included in cells received from the interface device to a current cell time within the switch, cell time adjustment information can be transmitted to the interface device. The cell time adjustment information is used by the interface device to determine the cell sequence number that is included in cells transmitted to the switch.

Abstract: The present invention provides a computer-implemented system and method for providing a post employment qualified health care benefit plan funded during a covered person's working years to covered persons under the plan. The method having the steps of providing a computer system to manipulate and process a plurality of predefined variables; electing a number of benefit payout years for receiving benefits during a payout period; electing either a standard non-lump-sum premium option or a lump sum premium option; electing standard non-lump-sum variables under the standard non-lump-sum premium option; electing lump sum variables under the lump sum premium option; using the computer system to calculate a schedule of premiums based on the standard non-lump-sum variables and the lump sum variables to obtain an associated maximum benefit amount; and paying a maximum benefit amount for qualified health expenses upon occurrence of a triggering event.

Abstract: The present invention provides new methods for desalting samples of ionic polymers or weak electrolytes, preferable ampholytes (e.g., peptides, proteins and glycoconjugates) or, compounds which can be transformed into these substances by complex formation. The methods of the present invention are based on the fact that salts can be removed from a sample by electrophoretically replacing the salts with ampholytes present in the ampholytic media of the anolyte and the catholyte or, with displacing cations and anions that have been introduced into the anolyte and catholyte, respectively, and which have mobilities less than the mobilities of the cations and anions to be removed from the sample.Although applicable to both small-volume and large-volume samples, the methods are particularly well suited for small-volume samples. Moreover, when applied to capillary electrophoresis, the methods described herein permit desalting of a sample in the same capillary tube as is used for the electrophoretic analysis.
