Patent CA-2444650-A1 (CA)
Inventor: NOLAN BRUCE
IPC: H01B5/10
Filed: 2003-10-15
Abstract: This invention teaches a rope that can be electrified. The rope is comprised of an outer sheath and an inner core. The outer sheath includes non-conductive elements braided with one or more conductive elements. The conductive elements are wound in a parallel helical pattern and do not touch each other. The inner core is a braid comprising non-conductive and conductive elements. In both cores, the conductive elements comprise one or more metal strands and the non-conductive elements comprise one or more monofilaments of synthetic or natural fibres. Should a breakage occur in the conductive elements of the outer sheath, the conductive elements of the inner core provide conductivity across the breakage and throughout the length of the rope by intermittently contacting the conductive elements of the outer sheath. An optional coloured tracer can be braided into the outer sheath to provide better visibility since the non-conductive elements are preferably a neutral colour, such as white.

Abstract: L'invention concerne une méthode destinée à la synthèse directe de molécules d'ADN à double brins de tailles diverses avec une séquence souhaitée quelconque. Ladite molécule d'ADN destinée à la synthèse est coupée logiquement en segments d'ADN plus petits se chevauchant. Un synthétiseur de microréseaux exempt de masque est utilisé pour concevoir un microréseau d'ADN sur un substrat, sur celui-ci chaque élément ou caractéristique du réseau est peuplé par l'ADN d'un des segments d'ADN de chevauchement. Le complément de chaque segment est également élaboré dans le microréseau. Ces segments d'ADN sont libérés du substrat et maintenus dans des conditions favorisant l'hybridation de l'ADN qui permettent l'hybridation des segments pour former des duplexes. Ces duplexes sont ensuite séparés au moyen d'un agent de liaison de l'ADN qui se lie à des hélices d'ADN formées de manière inappropriée, afin d'éliminer des erreurs de la série de molécules d'ADN. Ces segments peuvent alors être hybridés l'un à l'autre pour assembler la séquence d'ADN cible la plus grande.
