Title: Process for preparing variant polynucleotides
Inventor: BOVENBERG ROELOF ARY LANS
IPC: C12N15/10
Filed: 2002-07-23
Abstract: The present invention discloses a process for the preparation of variant polynucleotides using a combination of mutagenesis of a starting population of polynucleotides and recombination of the mutated polynucleotides. The process comprises the steps of subjecting a population of polynucleotides to (a series of) two (or more) separate PCR's comprising a first PCR with a forward mutation-specific primer for a position to be mutated and a reverse universal primer and a second PCR with a forward universal primer and a reverse mutation-specific primer for a position to be mutated. The products of the (series of) two (or more) PCR's are assembled by a polymerase, preferably in one tube.

Abstract: Ignition delay in a diesel engine is reduced or eliminated by a fuel
injector or igniter nozzle which includes energy supplying fuel conditioning
means at the point of fuel injection into a cylinder. A preferred embodiment
includes an electrically-conductive injection valve reciprocable in a
conductive nozzle body and seatable on a valve seat to stop fuel flow through
nozzle orifices. The injection valve is electrically insulated from the body
except at its contact with the valve seat and is connected to an electrical
charge, at least during opening of the valve. An electrical spark discharge is
thus generated between the injection valve and the valve seat upon opening
of the valve. Initially injected fuel passes through the arc and is conditioned
by the spark energy to ignite almost immediately by compression ignition
upon entering the engine cylinder and thus essentially eliminate diesel
ignition delay.

Abstract: The procedure for managing requests for copies of keys from an
end user consists of associating a first code with each key sold
and, moreover, associating a second code with each user who has
bought said key so that, when the user asks for a copy of a key,
he has to provide the first and second code which are checked by
a manager and, in the case in which the manager recognises said
first and second codes, it provides said copy of the key to the
user. 
     The device for managing requests for copies of keys comprises a
first processor holding a database in which the data relative at
least to the users, to a first code associated with said key and
to a second code associated with said user and to a profile or
characteristics of each key is memorised, a plurality of second
electronic processors suitable for receiving the information
from said first electronic processor to be communicated to
processing machines.

Abstract: A solid-state relay is arranged so that, during the
off-state of the switching element (6), a surge protective means (7)
forcefully turns the switching element on based upon a surge
voltage VSG multiplexed on an AC voltage VAC from output
terminals; therefore, a surge current is allowed to flow by the
low impedance (on-resistance) of the switching element (6) so that
the surge voltage VSG is absorbed to be set to a low surge voltage
VSG, thereby making it possible to protect the switching element
from damages caused by the surge voltage VSG.

Abstract: An improved method and apparatus for reducing a hip fracture utilizing a minimally
invasive procedure which does not require incision of the quadriceps. A femoral implant (260) in
accordance with the present invention achieves intramedullary fixation as well as fixation
into the femoral head to allow for the compression needed for a femoral fracture to heal. To
position the femoral implant of the present invention, an incision is made along the greater
trochanter. Because the greater trochanter is not circumferentially covered with muscles, the
incision can be made and the wound developed through the skin and fascia to expose the
greater trochanter, without incising muscle, including, e.g., the quadriceps. After exposing
the greater trochanter, novel instruments of the present invention are utilized to prepare a
cavity in the femur extending from the greater trochanter into the femoral head and further
extending from the greater trochanter into the intramedullary canal of the femur. After
preparation of the femoral cavity (224), a femoral implant (260) in accordance with the present invention
is inserted into the aforementioned cavity in the femur. The femoral implant is thereafter
secured in the femur, with portions of the implant extending into and being secured within the
femoral head and portions of the implant extending into and being secured within the femoral
shaft.

Abstract: A converter is utilized with at least one implicit addressing sequential media device to simulate explicit addressing sequential media device performance from the perspective of host applications. Responsive to receiving explicit addressing read/write commands from the host application, the converter converts the explicit addressing read/write commands into implicit addressing read/write commands and passes the implicit addressing read/write commands through to the device. Optionally, responsive to device capability queries from a host application, the converter reports that the device utilizes explicit addressing. As another option, responsive to receiving commands other than explicit addressing read/write commands from the application host, the converter examines the commands to monitor sequential media address, and relays the commands to the device substantially free of any modification.
