Abstract: The invention relates to a powered reciprocating saw, in particular to a pruning saw. To simplify use of the saw a clamping mechanism is provided which holds an object in position while it is sawn. The clamping mechanism is mounted at the front portion 4 of the housing of the saw near the saw blade 20. The clamping mechanism comprises: a slide element 30 for sliding movement in cutting direction C of the saw blade, a supporting member 30; and a clamping arm 40 being rotatably mounted on the slide element 30, by means of a one way rotary clutch 42 such that the arm can freely rotate in one direction only, in which direction the clamping arm 40 moves towards the support member 30 to clamp an object therebetween in a clamping position below the saw blade for sawing it. When the saw is in use, it vibrates due to its reciprocating parts. Since the clamping arm 40 has a moment of inertia with respect to this axis of rotation of the one way rotary clutch 42, the oscillating movement is transformed into a stepwise, progressive rotational movement of the clamping arm which thereby closes automatically to clamp an object to be sawn. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method for generating and amplifying closed circular DNA having a specific sequence in vitro in a cell-free system is disclosed. Prior to the invention of this method, closed circular DNA could only be amplified in vivo in appropriate host cells. The essence of the method is the inclusion of a thermostable DNA ligase in a PCR reaction. This procedure is referred to as ligation-during-amplification (LDA), in which the fully extended DNA strands are ligated by the DNA ligase and used as templates for subsequent amplification. Closed circular DNA having a specific sequence can be selectively amplified exponentially by the use of two sequence-specific primers in the LDA reaction. In addition, one or more site-specific mutations can be introduced into a closed circular DNA by the use of one or more mutagenic primers in the LDA reaction. Various thermostable DNA polymerases and thermostable ligases can be used for LDA amplification. Any primer position and orientation, either inward or outward, can be used in LDA amplification, as long as there is at least one primer complementary to each strand of the circular DNA. This method has applications in the areas of mutagenesis, cloning, DNA detection, DNA modification, gene hunting, gene therapy, and cell-free DNA production.

Abstract: A novel and improved method for performing paging is described. In one embodiment of the invention a searcher is used to detect spread spectrum signals. Samples received RF signals are stored in a sample buffer. During standby mode, the samples are gathered during paging slots assigned to the mobile. A set of searches are performed on the samples, and if pilot signals are detected additional demodulation is performed to detect paging messages. The resulting set of demodulation data may be combined to increase detection. After a page message has been detected, additional demodulation resources may be activated to processes more complete page messages, or other information channels. In one embodiment of the invention, the searcher includes a demodulator to perform quick page detection without the use of finger elements to reduce idle mode power consumption.
