Disclosed are apparatus for screening compound libraries using frontal chromatography in combination with mass spectrometry to identify and rank those members of the library that bind to a target receptor. The apparatus of this inv ention also permit a compound library to be rapidly screened to determine if any member of the library has a higher affinity for the target receptor relative to a pre-s...

The invention relates to a procedure for ensuring emergency calls in a wireless local loop in which subscriber's stations (MS) are connected over a radio link via a base station (BS) to an access node (AN) and from the access node to a local exchange (LE) of a wired telephone network, in which procedure the authentication process carried out in conjunction with call setup comprises establishing wh...

A rinsing apparatus installed in a toilet and controlled to rinse the user's buttocks, including a cartoon-figured main unit installed in the bowl of the toilet and controlled by a control valve therein to let rinsing water/cleaning solution (perfume) pass from a water inlet through water pressure buffering waiter holes to a spray nozzle via a water pipe.

The method involves forcing a gas down into a first fluid bath (10) for cleaning and emission of heat and then forcing the partly cooled gas into a second bath (13) for cleaning and emission of heat. At least a part of the heat transmitted to one of the fluid baths through heat exchange is transferred to another medium. The gas through fine distribution in at least one of the baths is provided wit...
