A unipolar, RZ, constant width pulse telemetry is achieved in the combinatorial set, or any desired subset of pulse sequences thereof. Each input datum W is in one-to-one correspondence with a particular pulse sequence and the correspondence of datum with pulse sequence and vice versa is implemented by any selected ordering of the pulse sequences of the combinatorial set together with a successive comparison of the magnitude of the datum with the cumulative combinatorial capacity of the set.

A combinatorial weighing system includes a combinatorial weighing apparatus, a packing machine and master/slave changeover switch. The combinatorial weighing apparatus has a plurality of weighing machines for sensing the weight of articles supplied thereto, and a calculation control unit for performing a combinatorial calculation, based on weight data from the weighing machines, to obtain an optimum combination, and for causing weighing machines corresponding to the optimum combination to discha...

A combinatorial digital filter apparatus utilizing a second order filter in which bits are processed simultaneously rather than serially.

The present invention is directed to a method for forming combinatorial libraries comprising arrays of materials prepared by depositing a metal species on a support for use as catalysts, such as electrocatalysts. The invention is also directed to combinatorial libraries comprising an array of such metal-containing supported catalysts. These catalyst-containing libraries are particularly well-suited for use in conducting combinatorial research investigations, in particular with respect to electro...

A method and apparatus are provided for performing light-directed reactions in spatially addressable channels within a plurality of channels. One aspect of the invention employs photoactivatable reagents in solutions disposed into spatially addressable flow streams to control the parallel synthesis of molecules immobilized within the channels. The reagents may be photoactivated within a subset of channels at the site of immobilized substrate molecules or at a light-addressable site upstream from...

The present invention describes an encoded combinatorial chemical library comprised of a plurality of bifunctional molecules having both a chemical polymer and an identifier oligonucleotide sequence that defines the structure of the chemical polymer. Also described are the bifunctional molecules of the library, and methods of using the library to identify chemical structures within the library that bind to biologically active molecules in preselected binding interactions.

Combinatorial libraries comprising compounds of the formula ##STR1## where R.sub.1, R.sub.2, and R.sub.3 are each independently groups of the formula --C(O)R, where R is an organic radical; x, y, and z are each independently 1, 2, 3, or 4; R.sub.4 is alkyl, alkenyl, aryl, aralkyl, acyl, amino, hydroxy, alkoxy, aryloxy, arylalkoxy, heterocyclyl, or H, or is a solid support; and R.sub.5 is alkyl, alkenyl, aryl, aralkyl, acyl, amino, hydroxy, alkoxy, aryloxy, arylalkoxy, heterocyclyl, or H are disc...

Combinatorial libraries are disclosed which are represented by Formula I: wherein: S is a solid support; T'--L-- is an identifier residue; and --L'--II' is a ligand/linker residue. Compounds which contain aryl sulfonamides, N-acyl derivatives, and N-substituted pyrrolidines and piperidines of the formula : are inhibitors of serine proteases and carbonic anhydrase isozymes. They are useful in the treatment of hyper-coagulation disease and ocular diseases such as glaucoma.

A combinatorial weighing method in a combinatorial weighing apparatus comprises the steps of providing two groups of patterns of combinations of weight values issued from a plurality of weighing machines, one of the groups is divided into two subgroups which are complements of each other, and the two groups are successively processed independently and in combination to find an optimum weight combination closest to a target weight value.

A combinatorial weighing method and apparatus for obtaining a batch of articles of a plurality of categories, each category of articles in the batch having a predetermined weight or made up of a predetermined number of articles. The method includes the steps of setting a target value for each category of articles, and supplying a plurality of weighing machines, groups of which are provided for each category of articles, with the articles of the category corresponding thereto. For each category o...
