It is intended to provide novel labeling reagents characterized by having a group capable of binding to a substance to be labeled (for example, a biological substance, a physiologically active substance, etc.), easily forming a complex together with a rare earth ion, the complex being stable in an aqueous solution, and having a sufficient fluorescence intensity and a long fluorescence life time regardless of buffer types; complexes composed of the above labeling reagent with a rare earth ion; fluorescence labels containing the above complex; a fluorescence assay method using the above fluorescent label; etc. Namely, labeling reagents comprising a compound having a 2,2′:6′,2″-tripyridine skeleton or a 2,6-dipyrazolopyridine skeleton and having a group capable of binding to a substance to be labeled (for example, a biological substance, a physiologically active substance, etc.) and a group capable of forming a complex together with a rare earth ion; complexes composed of the above labeling reagent with a rare earth ion; fluorescence labels containing the above complex; a fluorescence labeling method using the above complex as a label; and a fluorescence assay method using the above fluorescent label.

Power-saving techniques are employed in sensing a group of non-volatile memory cells in parallel. One technique is that the coupling of the memory cells to their bit lines is delayed during a precharge operation in order to reduce the cells'currents working against the precharge. Another technique is that a power-consuming precharge period is minimized by preemptively starting the sensing in a multi-pass sensing operation. High current cells not detected as a result of the premature sensing will still be able to be detected in a subsequent pass.

A delivery tube assembly is provided, the delivery tube assembly including a delivery tube including a delivery tube attachment end, an open delivery tube second end opposite the delivery tube attachment end, an outer surface, and an inner surface defining a delivery tube cavity; and a dosage form including a therapeutic agent, wherein the dosage form is positioned within the delivery tube cavity. The assembly may also include an engagement mechanism positioned at the delivery tube attachment end. The assembly may also include a containment seal coupled to the delivery tube second end. The assembly may also include an inner containment seal positioned within the delivery tube cavity to seal the dosage form within the delivery tube cavity.

Electromagnetic energy is applied to thereby oscillate a bubble that is then insonified to produce an echo (260) for reception and analysis to afford imaging of the region of the bubble. To create the bubble, the energy may be applied to a nano particle (232) of a contrast agent whose consequent internal nano- or micro-bubbles offer, with novel pulsing techniques, greater sensitivity, and which can permeate outside vasculature (216) prior to being energized thereby affording quantification of vascular permeability and delivery of targeting molecules. The particle can include an absorbing and an evaporating parts, the irradiation (204), as by near-infrared laser, causing the phase change that gives rise to the bubble. The echo may occur in response to ultrasound interrogation (220) of the activated contrast agent, which could entail pulse inversion, power modulation or contrast pulse sequence imaging, with persistence processing. The contrast agent might be mixed with microbubble based ultrasound contrast agent to facilitate the timing of bubble activation.

A multiaxial press felt base fabric construction is provided in which the base fabric is formed from a spirally wound precursor textile strip having a width that is less than an overall width of the assembled papermaking fabric and which is joined together along neighboring adjacent edges to form a fabric tube. At least one of: 100% of the MD yarns located on one surface of the precursor textile strip are comprised of cabled yarns or from 50% to 100% of the CD yarns are a cabled yarn. The MD yarns are arranged as vertically stacked pairs for compression resistance to provide void volume, and the vertically stacked arrangement is maintained by interweaving with one system of CD weft yarns.
