IPC: C12Q1/6825
Filed: 2002-06-21
Abstract: To probe the characteristics of a target nucleic acid molecule or a population of target nucleic acid molecules, a local cross-sectional area, local charge, or local chemistry of a molecule is modified. The modified nucleic acid is contacted with a substrate that includes a detector that is responsive to the modification in the local cross-sectional area, local charge, or local chemistry of the nucleic acid molecule. The modified nucleic acid molecule traverses a defined and preferably molecular dimensioned volume on the substrate so that nucleotides of the modified nucleic acid molecule interact with the detector in sequential order, whereby data correlating with the cross-sectional area, local charge, or local chemistry of the nucleic acid molecule are obtained. The nucleic acid molecule may be modified in a number of locations along the molecule's length. Because the individual nucleotides of the nucleic acid molecule interact with the detector in sequential order, information regarding the location and composition of a plurality of modified sites along a single molecule can be obtained.

Abstract: Described herein is a splice chamber for accommodating excess optical cable obtained when making a fusion splice connection between two reels of cable. The chamber comprises two portions which define a space for the optical cable. The chamber is constructed to divide into two longitudinal half portions along a longitudinal line, but each end is retained until conditions are suitable for release. The space inside of the chamber is shaped to determine the bend radius for the enclosed optical cable and protects the cable during storage and handling. When a predetermined force is applied to one end of the chamber, the two longitudinal half portions separate to release the optical cable stored therein, pivoting about the other end.

Abstract: The microvalve comprises first (12) and second (14) layers, a diaphragm member (16) and a switching means (20). The first and second layers are secured together to form a valve body (26) that forms an inlet opening (30) for receiving fluid, an outlet opening (32) for conducting fluid from the valve body, and a flow channel (34) for conducting fluid from the inlet to the outlet. The diaphragm is disposed between the layers, and is movable between open and closed positions. In these position, the diaphragm (16), respectively, allows and blocks the flow of fluid from the inlet (30) to the flow channel (34). The diaphragm (16) is biased to the closed position, and moves from the closed position to the open position when the pressure of fluid in the inlet (30) reaches a preset value. The switching means (20) is connected to the valve body (26) for moving the diaphragm (16) to the closed position against the pressure of fluid in the inlet (30). Preferably, the microvalve is constructed out of SiC and stainless steel materials, allowing the microvalve to be used in a harsh environment.
