Abstract: Des fonctions (80) de gestion de réseaux multiples comprises dans un contrôleur (30) sont reliées à des groupes de redondance multiples (40) par un réseau de zones de stockage (SAN) tel qu'un SAN (50) à canaux en fibre. Les fonctions de gestion de réseau multiple partagent une responsabilité de gestion des groupes de redondance, dont chacun comprend typiquement des ressources multiples s'étendant dans une multiplicité de disques (45). Les fonctions de gestion de réseau permettent un accès simultané aux groupes de redondance à des systèmes hôtes associés. Lorsqu'un hôte demande à une fonction de gestion de réseau d'exécuter une opération sur une ressource, la fonction de gestion de réseau se synchronise avec les autres fonctions de gestion de réseau partageant la commande du groupe de redondance contenant la ressource sur laquelle on veut intervenir, afin d'obtenir un verrouillage sur la ressource. Tandis que l'opération est exécutée, la fonction de gestion de réseau envoie des données de réplication et des informations d'état associées à la ressource, de manière que si ladite fonction de gestion échoue, n'importe laquelle des autres fonctions de gestion est capable de mener à bien l'opération et de maintenir une fiabilité et une cohérence des données.

Title: Detection of nucleic acid sequence differences using the ligase detection reaction with addressable arrays
Inventor: GERRY NORMAN P
IPC: C12Q1/6827
Filed: 2000-03-17
Abstract: The present invention describes a method for identifying one or more of a plurality of sequences differing by one or more single base changes, insertions, deletions, or translocations in a plurality of target nucleotide sequences. The ligation phase utilizes a ligation detection reaction between one oligonucleotide probe which has a target sequence-specific portion and an addressable array-specific portion, and a second oligonucleotide probe, having a target sequence specific portion and a detectable label. After the ligation phase, the capture phase is carried out by hybridizing the ligated oligonucleotide probes to a solid support with an array of immobilized capture oligonucleotides at least some of which are complementary to the addressable array-specific portion. Following completion of the capture phase, a detection phase is carried out to detect the labels of ligated oligonucleotide probes hybridized to the solid support. The ligation phase can be preceded by an amplification process. The present invention also relates to a kit for practicing this method, a method of forming arrays on solid supports, and the supports themselves.

Abstract: A container (30) for use in sterilizing an object has a first end (35) and a second end (38). The container (30) is suitably sized to receive an endoscopic telescope (45) for sterilization. Once the endoscopic telescope (45) has been inserted into the container (30), a lid (46) having a vapour permeable section (47) is fitted to the container.  The container and object are then sterilized, for example, by autoclaving. After sterilization, use of the container requires a non-sterile nurse in an operating theatre to push the ends (35, 38) together. A collapsible or deformable portion (42) collapses and the ends (35, 38) move closer together to thereby force the telescope (45) out of the container (30), where it can be removed by a sterile nurse.

Patent CA-2376124-A1 (CA)
Inventor: O'NEILL WILLIAM
IPC: E04H4/14
Filed: 2002-02-28
Abstract: A device for securing a tarpaulin or winter cover to the deck of an in-ground swimming pool being a water reservoir. The reservoir is comprised of a bottom and sloping walls such that the water it contains cannot damage the reservoir when the contained water freezes. The reservoir when filled with water provides sufficient weight to the cover on which it sits that wind and winter storms cannot lift the edges of the cover and deposit debris into the water of the swimming pool. Located on either end of the container and extending out from the top edge are conical shaped connectors that interlock and allow the reservoirs, when placed end to end, to be connected to the adjoining one. The conical shaped connectors allow the interlocking reservoirs to pivot about the axis of the connecting device.
