Abstract: A window or door frame machining device comprises a work holder having a plurality of support rails and a plurality of clamp members supported along the rails for clamping frame members of an assembled perimeter frame onto the work holder. A machining head on a movable support arm is computer controlled by preset instructions arranged to position the clamp members along the respective support rails responsive to the preset instructions corresponding to a configuration of the perimeter frame. In this manner any surface of any frame member can be readily accessed by the machining head by relocating clamp members between different steps in the machining process and no repositioning of the frame is required so as to maintain the frame in a true square configuration while machining. A frame support on the support arm permits both machining and assisting in loading or unloading of the frame by the support arm.

Inventor: TOMSO DANIEL J
IPC: G16B30/00
Filed: 2008-10-09
Abstract: The present invention is drawn to methods for designing synthetic nucleotide sequences encoding polypeptides of interest. The methods involve organizing a database of sequences as a set of N-length oligomer sequences and compiling a list of probability scores for each N-length sequence. The probability scores are used to substitute one or more higher-scoring sequences into the parent nucleotide sequence to generate an optimized sequence. The nucleotide sequence of interest may be further optimized by removing either or both of unintended open reading frames or undesired short DNA elements, and/or substituting oligomer sequences to achieve a specific G:C content. These methods may be used for optimizing expression of heterologous genes in any organism, particularly in plants. The method generates synthetic sequences with a composition similar to that of a target database.  These synthetic sequences may be used, for example, for regulating pesticidal activity or herbicide resistance in organisms, particularly plants or plant cells.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for personalized time-shifted programming. Digital content is retrieved, for example, from a digital library (110). Once retrieved, the content is stored locally, for example, on a personal computer (120). The locally stored content is transferred, in whole or in part, to a playback device (125) that allows a user to listen to the content of the playback device. In one embodiment, the user may designate portions of a playback time provided by the playback device (125) to various selections. For example, with a playback device that provides two hours of content, a user may wish to listen to one half hour of news, one half hour of a series and one hour of a book. Thus, the user may partition one quarter of playback time to each of news and the series and one half of the playback time to the book. In one embodiment, the present invention provides different automatic update techniques for the playback device (125) that may be selected by the user based on how the content is to be used.  For example, the news portion may be one half hour of the most recent news available from a particular source. The series may be the most recent episode in the series, whether or not the user has listened to other stored episodes. The book portion may provide one hour of the book from the most recent stopping place each time the playback device (125) is coupled to the library retrieval device (120).
