Abstract: Disclosed are devices for amplifying a preselected polynucleotide in a sample by conducting a polynucleotide amplification reaction. The devices are provided with a substrate microfabricated to include a polynucleotide amplification reaction chamber, having at least one cross-sectional dimension of about 0.1 to 1000  mu m. The device also includes at least one port in fluid communication with the reaction chamber, for introducing a sample to the chamber, for venting the chamber when necessary, and, optionally, for removing products or waste material from the device. The reaction chamber may be provided with reagents required for amplification of a preselected polynucleotide. The device also may include means for thermally regulating the contents of the reaction chamber, to amplify a preselected polynucleotide. Preferably, the reaction chamber is fabricated with a high surface to volume ratio, to facilitate thermal regulation. The amplification reaction chamber also may be provided with a composition which diminishes inhibition of the amplification reaction by material comprising a wall of the reaction chamber, when such treatment is required.

Abstract: The conductors feeding the protected circuit form the CT primary windings in the usual way. The wound secondary (5) has a resistive burden (R) selected to suit threshold fault currents between 30 and 300 mA. With a shunt capacitor (23) the winding forms an LC resonant circuit amplifying the fault signal and attenuating parasitic components. The rectified (D1..D4) signal passes via a delaying and filtering RC circuit (12,13) to a comparison unit (24) controlling a thyristor (14). If the received voltage (V+,V-) exceeds a reference value, the comparator output (25) closes the thyristor circuit, energising a tripping relay (8). The operating voltage (V+,V-) is also available to auxiliary, e.g. fault current display modules (32,33). Some variants are described.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for selectively extending an oligonucleotide primer along a specific target polynucleotide sequence in a mixture of polynucleotides. Selective extension is achieved by controlling the concentration of the oligonucleotide primer by forming the oligonucleotide in situ by degrading the 3'-end of a modified oligonucleotide. The method comprises providing in combination the mixture of polynucleotides and the modified oligonucleotide having a 3'-end that is not extendable along any polynucleotide and extending the oligonucleotide primer selectively along the specific target polynucleotide sequence by controlling the degradation of the 3'-end of the modified oligonucleotide. In this way extension of the oligonucleotide primer along polynucleotides other than the specific target polynucleotide sequence is substantially reduced or avoided. In another aspect the invention is an improvement in a method for amplifying a target polynucleotide sequence. The method comprises combining the target polynucleotide sequence with reagents for amplifying the target polynucleotide sequence and subjecting the combination to conditions wherein the target polynucleotide sequence is amplified. The reagents comprise an oligonucleotide primer and a polymerase. The improvement comprises deriving the oligonucleotide primer from a modified oligonucleotide having a portion that hybridizes to the target polynucleotide sequence except for the 3'-end thereof, which has at least one nucleotide analog that is incapable of hybridizing to a polynucleotide. Kits for carrying out the above methods are also disclosed.

Abstract: Window frames and door frames of wood must often be protected against dry-rot and mould. Therefore, they are most often made of impregnated wood. However, this gives rise to such a great environmental risk that there is need for a subsequent, effective impregnation of the frames, which can hereby be manufacturated from unimpregnated wood. By providing the frame pieces (1-5) according to the invention with at least one channel (6, 8, 16), which extends longitudinally to and in around the centre of the piece, and further by mutually connecting this or these channels by means of a hole (7), it is possible, after the frame has been assembled and after mounting in the building, to introduce a fluid impregnation agent into the channels (6, 8, 16) via the hole (7). The frame is hereby provided with impregnation agent from inside the exposed places in the frame, and this impregnation can be maintained by suitable subsequent filling with impregnation agent.

Abstract: In the process of embedding watermark information in one-dimensional source data, first spread one-dimensional data x(t) is generated by subjecting one-dimensional source data s(t) to spectrum-spreading operation using a PN sequence g(t). This first spread one-dimensional data x(t) then undergoes a modified discrete cosine transformation. A specific frequency component value of the MDCT coefficients is modulated to provide association with the watermark information. The modulated frequency component then undergoes inverse transformation to generate second spread one-dimensional data x'(t). Then, using the same PN sequence in the spreading, the second spread one-dimensional data is subjected to spectrum-despreading to produce digitally watermarked one-dimensional data in which watermark data has been embedded. <IMAGE>
