Title: Fingerprinting bacterial strains using repetitive dna sequence amplification
IPC: C12N1/11
Filed: 1992-10-21
Abstract: Oligonucleotide primers and methods for identifying strains of bacteria by genomic fingerprinting are described. The methods are applicable to a variety of samples. The testing procedure includes amplifying the bacterial DNA in the sample to be tested by adding a pair of outwardly-directed primers to the sample. The primers are capable of hybridizing to repetitive DNA sequences in the bacterial DNA and extending outwardly from one hybridizable repetitive sequence to another hybridizable repetitive sequence. After amplification the extension products are separated by size and the specific strain of bacteria is determined by measuring the pattern of sized extension products. The procedure to identify strains of bacteria by fingerprinting has a variety of uses including: identifying bacteria in infections, agriculture and horticulture plots, bioremediation, food monitoring, production monitoring and quality assurance and quality control.

Title: Method for certifying and verifying digital web content using public cryptography
Inventor: FULTON NICHOLAS GRANT
IPC: G06F1/00
Filed: 2001-01-29
Abstract: There is provided a method of, computer programs for and apparatus for providing and accessing digital content such as a news item. A news provider generates a news item, creates a digitally signed version of the news item and packages them together with a digital certificate issued by a certificate authority containing the public key required to decrypt the digitally signed version. The package is posted to a server and is transmitted, or made available or transmission, over a public data network together with a computer program for verifying the news item. A receiving party receives, over the public data network, the package at a client device and is provided with means for launching, and if necessary first downloading, the verifying program. The verifying program uses the public key contained in the certificate to verify the digitally signed news item. Before being first used to verify a news item, the verifying program receives a shared secret from the receiving party which is stored locally to the client device and is used by the verifying program to confirm that it performed the verification process.

Title: Method and apparatus for enhanced audio/video services with watermarks and associated data
Inventor: HOLLAR MARK A
IPC: H04N7/173
Filed: 2000-02-25
Abstract: A method and apparatus for controlled copying of a video or an audio signal transmitted over a cable television or direct satellite broadcast system, or the internet is described. Copyrighted video or audio material is protected from unwanted recording by the combination of a first watermark (W1) inserted into the video or audio signal by a content provider (10a) together with additional copy protection in the form of a second watermark (W2). The watermark or marks (W1, W2) are embedded in the active portion of the video or audio signal. Only if the consumer is willing to pay a fee is the video signal with the single watermark (V + W1) transmitted to the recording device (42a) which is then enabled to copy the video signal. However, where copying is permitted, the recording device is arranged to embed the second watermark (W2) into the video signal (V + W1 + W2) to be recorded onto a disc (46a) whereby further copying is prevented. This enables a single copy to be made upon payment. <IMAGE>

Title: Blower having fan oriented perpendicular to discharge nozzle
Inventor: MARSHALL JAMES D
IPC: E01H1/08
Filed: 2002-04-26
Abstract: A blower having a fan mounted perpendicularly relative to an airflow discharge port. The fan is disposed within a volute formed in the housing at a rear area of the housing. This places the volute slightly behind the user's leg or hip when the blower is suspended or being held by a user along one side of the user's body. This significantly increases the ergonomics, efficiency and comfort of the blower by allowing the blower to rest more comfortably along the user's side without interference from the volute portion of the housing. This also allows the motor to be located directly underneath the handle of the housing to provide a better balance and feel to the housing when the user is holding onto the blower via the handle.

Title: Optical sensor for potassium ions
Inventor: ANDREAE FRITZ
IPC: G01N31/22
Filed: 1999-07-07
Abstract: The invention relates to specially fluorescence-marked cyclic peptolides (depsipeptides) and to their use for optically determining the concentration of potassium ions in a sample. According to the invention, a spectroscopically measurable effect is produced in that the conformation of the potassium ion considerably changes by the complexation of the potassium ion in a fluorescence-marked macrocyclic peptolide-ionophore. The simplest measuring molecule is thus comprised of at least one ionophore and of one chromophore (label) covalently bonded thereto. In the instance that two chromophores which are covalently bonded at an appropriate position are present in the measuring system, at least one of the optical properties of the chromophores can be altered by changing the spatial location of both molecule parts with regard to one another according to the concentration of the electrolyte. (Fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET), donor-acceptor interaction).
