Patent EP-1090248-A1 (EP)
Inventor: TAYLOR PETER J
IPC: B23B41/08
Filed: 1998-06-04
Abstract: The present invention comprises an improved method and apparatus, associated with a self-piercing valve assembly for mounting the self-piercing valve on a pipe and for constraining movement of the valve on the pipe. In accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a self-piercing valve assembly comprises a clamping assembly and a crimping member associated with the clamping assembly, which crimping member "automatically" crimps a pipe and forms a recess therein when the self-piercing valve clamping assembly is tightened about the pipe, and simultaneously effects a crimping member/recess interface (much like a key-and-keyway interface) which inhibits relative angular rotation between the pipe and valve. The crimping member is, preferably, a rigid, projection or tab.

IPC: C12Q1/6827
Filed: 1998-07-30
Abstract: Disclosed are methods for detecting a nucleic acid fragment and/or
PNA fragment having a mutation, which performs the detection by binding a
labeled substance specifically binding to a mismatched base pair such as Mut
S to a mismatched base pair produced by hybridization of a fragment of
nucleic acid or the like fixed on a substrate and a nucleic acid fragment or
the like of which mutation should be assayed, and identifying a fragment
bound by the substance; methods for detecting a nucleic acid fragment
and/or PNA fragment having a mutation, which performs the detection by
treating a mismatched base pair produced between the hybridized fragments
with a substance specifically recognizing and cleaving a mismatched base
pair instead of the substance specifically binding to a mismatched base pair
to cleave or remove the fragments hybridized from the mismatched base pair,
labeling a fragment remained on the substrate after the cleavage or removal,
and detecting the labeled fragment; and labeled substances specifically
bindable to a mismatched base pair such as Mut S labeled with GFP.
According to the present invention, it is possible to simultaneously detect
structural mutations in a plurality of genes, in particular, it is possible to
detect the structural mutations while simultaneously monitoring expression
levels thereof.
