  • Publication number: 20010027685
    Abstract: A high resolution biosensing system for detecting and identifying a biochemical material to be tested by using proportional relationship between frequency variation of oscillation and mass of the biochemical material to be tested comprises a biosensor: all oscillator for generating oscillation based on the sensed result, a phase-lock loop circuit receiving the oscillation of the oscillator and generating pulse signals; an ultra-high frequency counter for counting the Bulb; signals; and a microprocessor for storing and displaying output from the ultra-high frequency counter and for controlling the oscillator. The phase-lock loop circuit generates the pulse signals of a frequency, which is n times the frequency of the oscillator and with a constant phase difference therebetween to trigger the ultra-high frequency counter. Accordingly, the resolution can be raised up to n times.

  • Patent number: 6291220
    Abstract: The present invention generally provides nucleic acids and polypeptides that are phosphatidylinositol 3-kinases, also known as 1-phosphatidylinositol 3-kinases. The nuclecic acids and polypeptides disclosed are derived from Drosophila and mouse. These polypeptides are generally involved in cell signaling cascades which control, e.g., cell cycle progression and intracellular protein sorting. The family of PI3-kinases from which the polypeptides of the invention are derived are generally characterized by their structure as well as their unique substrate specificity.
