Inventor: TERBRUEGGEN ROBERT
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 2007-05-10
Abstract: The present invention provides compositions, apparatuses and methods for detecting one or more nucleic acid targets present in a sample. Methods of the invention include utilizing two or more oligonucleotide probes that reversibly bind a target nucleic acid in close proximity to each other and possess complementary reactive ligation moieties. When such probes have bound to the target in t proper orientation, they are able to undergo a spontaneous chemical ligation reaction that yields a ligated oligonucleotide product. In accordance with the invention, the presence of the target(s) of interest can be determined by measuring the presence or amount of ligated oligonucleotide product.

Abstract: According to the invention an arrangement is used to deter-mine the rotational-speed of a blade (BL), which rotates around an axis. A transmit-unit (TU2) is located at the ro-tating blade (BL), while a receive-unit (TU1) is located at the rotating hub (HB) of the blade (BL). The transmit-unit (TU2) and the receive-unit (TU1) are connected by a transmis-sion-system, which is used to transmit a signal (OS2) from the transmit-unit (TU2) to the receive-unit (TU1). A  detec-tion-unit (IR) is located at the blade, which is used to de-tect a force acting on the blade because of its rotation. The detection-unit (IR) is built to interrupt the transmission of the signal (0S2), if the detected force exceeds a predeter-mined value. The receive-unit (TU1) comprises a control-unit (CU), which detects a high rotational-speed (ROS) of the blade (BL) by evaluating the interrupted transmission of the signal (OS2).     The transmission-system is built as an optical-transmission system, which transmits an optical-signal (OS2) from the transmit-unit (TU2) to the receive-unit (TU1) for the evalua-tion.
