Abstract: A method for detecting the presence of a double-stranded target nucleic acid sequence contained in fixed cells or cell structures is provided. The method includes the steps of forming the fixed cells or cell structures by fixing cells or cell structures so as to allow a nucleic acid probe to enter, and forming a probe/RecA complex in which a single-stranded probe and RecA protein are stably bound to each other. The probe/RecA complex is allowed to react with the double-stranded target nucleic acid sequence to bind thereto under conditions in which the double-stranded target nucleic acid sequence is not denatured, and by detecting the RecA protein included in the probe/RecA complex, the presence of the double-stranded target nucleic acid sequence is detected.      The invention provides a diagnostically important method by which the position of a specific gene or its regulatory region in a chromosome and the presence of a nucleic acid sequence derived from virus can be measured or visualized with high sensitivity and with ease.

Abstract: A workbench which is to be used especially as a teaching aid in the form of an ergonomically designed multi-purpose workbench for use in handicraft training is to have vice workstations which can easily be converted for left or right-handed people.  In particular, it is to be possible for workstations for left and right-handers easily to be arranged on one and the same workbench.   This is achieved by a vice which can be clamped to the worktop of the workbench via a spindle fitted centrally on the vice. The centric spindle arrangement makes it easy to convert the vices for right and left-handed operation via spindle supports arranged on both sides on the corner of the workbench or workstation.  The vices are turned simply by rotation through 180°.  In addition, suitably distributed apertures to take bench clamps for the vices facilitate zero or low-torque three-point clamping of workpieces. Auxiliary tools can easily be fitted and secured on the workbench.

Abstract: A multipurpose rectangular layout Ultra-square (11) which incorporates attributes of a triangular shaped square and carpenters square and is designed for use in conjunction with a tape measure (40). The tape measure (40) is attached in such a way that it forms a right angle to the layout square (11) for measuring distances for framing layout, enabling a user to mark multiple parallel lines in a perpendicular direction at specified distances measured from the end of the tape. The square (11) has indicia (26, 27, 30) in calibrated scales for rafter, angle and linear measurements. The square base (12) extends elongated. A guide (13) is attached at a right angle and perpendicular to the base. The base (12) and guide (13) have edges and notches (20-23, 34) for dimensional marking and placement. Some of these edges are used to significantly reduce the steps required for rafter layout. The square (11) is dimensioned to complement the site of standard material used in construction. Theses dimensions enable the user to mark both the top and bottom plates and the like with multiple parallel lines, to delineate exact location for placement of standard, stringer and sill studs without relocating the square (11). Also, it very quickly locates the reference measuring point and final cut line for all types of rafter cuts. This square (11) may be used from either the left or right direction.

Abstract: A method of manufacture of a long radial-flow filter particularly suitable for use as an input filter in a subterranean fluid (oil, gas, water) well starts with a length of multi-perforate pipe, which may be an integral part of the well's production tubing.  The pipe is mounted in an engine lathe with the perforated length between the headstock and the tailstock of the lathe.  With the pipe rotating, a strip of metal (steel) wool is wrapped around the pipe in repeated, overlapping helical layers each aligned at an acute angle X to the pipe axis, with adjacent layers angularly displaced by 2X.  The completed filter has a tubular wire mesh around the pipe, between the pipe and the innermost layer of steel wool, and a multi-perforate sheath over the outermost layer of wool.

Abstract: A diffusing tip is provided for diffusing light from a light-emitting end of an optical fiber in a radial distribution pattern relative to the axis of the tip and along a length of the tip. The tip has an inner core and an outer covering which define a light guide. The outer covering is modified on its interior surface adjacent to the core such that light transmitted down the light guide is removed from the core upon encountering a surface modification on the interior surface. The light so removed is transmitted to the outer surface along the length of the tip, where it can be used to irradiate a selected object or material. The diffusing tip preferably provides light in a substantially uniform intensity distribution for the substantially uniform irradiation of a selected object or material.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for making a plastic injection molded part with a smooth surface or skin and a hollow core wherein thermoplastic material is injected as a molten stream into the mold cavity through a sprue bushing fixed in the mold.  Simultaneously, an unmeasured quantity of inert gas is introduced through an adapter into the molten stream at the sprue bushing substantially coaxially with the melt stream and at a pressure sufficient to penetrate the thermoplastic material to form a gas cavity in the molten material in the mold.  For retrofitting an existing mold, an adapter can be added to the existing sprue bushing.  During plastic injection and cooling in the mold the gas is maintained at a high pressure, preset, constant and adequate to maintain the plastic against the mold surface until it is self-supporting.  The gas is exhausted from the mold, back through the sprue bushing and adapter, before the mold is opened.  Adequate preset high pressure is maintained at the gas supply by a large cylinder having a positive displacement member therein that is controlled by a pressure sensor in the gas pressure line to the mold to maintain preset adequate gas pressure within the cavity.

Abstract: An adaptive receiver includes an adaptive demodulator (10) and an adaptive decoder (12) for providing demodulated and decoded output data from a video signal encoded for satellite, terrestrial or cable transmission. The demodulator recovers demodulated output data by using an adaptive timing recovery network (25) and an adaptive carrier recovery network (25) that incorporates a selectable slicer network (30, 35, 40). In addition, an Automatic Gain Control network (25) within the demodulator provides a gain control output as a function of a difference between signals produced both prior to and following the slicer.  The demodulator may also incorporate a signal quality detector that uses carrier recovery network signals to provide an estimate of the error in the demodulated output data. The decoder produces a Viterbi decoded output from the demodulated output data by using a selectable code rate Viterbi decoder.
