Title: Systeme fluorometrique de detection d'un acide nucleique
Inventor: FUERST RODERICK
IPC: C12Q1/6823
Filed: 1998-11-27
Granted: 2009-10-06
Abstract: On décrit un procédé qui permet de détecter la présence d'une séquence cible d'acide nucléique dans un échantillon. Le procédé consiste a) ajouter à un échantillon présumé contenir ladite séquence cible d'acide nucléique une sonde spécifique pour cette séquence cible et un agent de liaison double à l'ADN, ladite sonde contenant une molécule réactive capable d'absorber la fluorescence émise par l'agent de liaison double à l'ADN, ou apporter à ce dernier de l'énergie fluorescente; b) soumettre le mélange ainsi formé à une réaction d'amplification pour amplifier l'acide nucléique cible; c) soumettre l'échantillon à des conditions dans lesquelles la sonde s'hybride avec la séquence cible; et d) surveiller la fluorescence émise par l'échantillon. Ce procédé peut s'utiliser, par exemple, pour surveiller des réactions d'amplification, telles que des réactions d'ACP, en vue de déterminer la quantité de la séquence cible présente dans l'échantillon. De plus, ou dans une forme de réalisation de remplacement, le procédé peut s'utiliser pour générer des données de destabilisation de duplex, telles que des informations d'hystérèse de fusion pour la surveillance de l'amplification ou pour la détection et l'évaluation quantitative de polymorphismes ou d'une variation allélique, et conviennent donc dans des méthodes de diagnostic génétique.

Abstract: The invention refers to a novel method for cloning DNA molecules using a homologous recombination mechanism between at least two DNA molecules comprising: a) providing a host cell capable of performing homologous recombination, b) contacting in said host cell a first DNA molecule which is capable of being replicated in said host cell with a second DNA molecule comprising at least two regions of sequence homology to regions on the first DNA molecule, under conditions which favour homologous recombination between said first and second DNA molecules and c) selecting a host cell in which homologous recombination between said first and second DNA molecules has occurred. In particular, it relies on the use of the E. coli RecE and RecT proteins, the bacteriophage Red-alpha and Red-beta proteins, or the phage P22 recombination system. The beneficial effects of concomitant expression of the RecBC inhibitor genes (e.g. Red-Gamma) is also examplified.

Granted: 2007-09-18
Abstract: A software driven monitoring system includes a common control element coupled to a plurality of monitoring devices. The devices can indicate to the control element that a predetermined condition has been detected. Where the control element transmits a status inquiry command to the devices, those devices exhibiting the status provide the same indication to the control element as is indicative of the predetermined condition. One indication is a shunt or a short circuit of a medium between the common control element and the devices. An existing system can be upgraded by installing the control element, or upgrading an existing control program. Alternately, the devices can be installed in a system wherein the control element does not issue the status inquiry command. In those installations, the monitoring devices never issue a status reply as the required command is never received.

Title: Monolithic serial optical parametric oscillator
Inventor: FUKUMOTO JOSEPH M
IPC: G02F1/39
Filed: 2000-12-18
Granted: 2005-02-08
Abstract: An arrangement (10) for efficiently shifting energy received at a first wavelength and outputting the shifted energy at a second wavelength. The arrangement (10) includes a laser (12) and an optical parametric oscillator (14) of unique design. The oscillator (14) is constructed with an energy shifting crystal (20) and first and second reflective elements (16) and (18) disposed on either side thereof. Light from the laser (12) at a fundamental frequency is shifted by the crystal and output at a second wavelength. The second wavelength is a primary emission and induces a secondary emission of energy in the crystal. A novel feature of the invention is a coating applied on the reflective elements (16 and/or 18) for minimizing the secondary emission. This constrains the energy to be output by the arrangement (10) at the wavelength of the desired primary emission. In the alternative, the arrangement (10) may be optimized to output one or more of the secondary emissions.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a phase detector and utilisation of the pha se detector for synchronisation of a digital signal with a clock signal. It is an object of the present invention to provide a phase detector with improved characteristics including fitter tolerance and fitter transfer. It is another object of the invention to provide a phase detector that generates an output signal that, when used as a control signal in a phase or frequency locked loop, keeps the gain of the control loop substantially invariant to the transition density of the phase detector input signals. According to the invention, these aspects are fulfilled by provision of a phase detector for detection of a phase difference between a first signal and a second signal. The phase detector comprises a first logic circuit for detection of a data transition of the first signal and a second logic circuit that generates a logic output signal of a first logic value upon detection of a data transition of the first signal if a transitio n of the second signal occurs before the transition of the first signal and of a second logic value if the transition of the second signal occurs after the transition of the first signal.
