Hospitals and food processors chose Titan's pasteurization rays to zap germs, while acquisitions boosted the San Diego firm's computer-consulting practice. Safeguard Scientifics nurtured a flock of Internet holdings. Favorable regulatory changes boosted revenues at Argosy Gaming's riverboat casinos. And at a thrifty price, Japan's Kyocera Corp. will take over the handset- manufacturing business of wireless hotshot Qualcomm, itself a huge winner in the quarter.

Titan Pharmaceuticals reported progress in testing of its cancer drugs. Record sales helped Measurement Specialties. Rising volume put NYFIX's electronic trading network in the black.

Sales doubled for Digital Lightwave's test and monitoring gear for optical networks. Investors and business partners mobbed Puma Tech nology, whose software links mobile devices, corporate networks and the Internet. Flash memory leader Silicon Storage turned profitable, as digital cameras, MP3 audio players and wireless devices drove its sales. And a small investment by Intel, and sorely-squeezed short-sellers, propelled shares of Ancor Communications.
