Inventor: GILCHRIST RODNEY D
IPC: C12Q1/6869
Filed: 1999-06-25
Abstract: In accordance with the invention, nucleic acid polymers are sequenced in a method comprising the steps of: a) obtaining forward and reverse data sets for forward and reverse strands of the sample nucleic acid; b) determining the apparent sequence of bases for the forward and reverse data sets; c) comparing the apparent forward and reverse sequences of basis for perfect complementarity to identify any deviations from complementarity in the apparent sequence, any such deviation presenting a choice between two bases, only one of which is correct; d) applying a confidence algorithm to peaks in the data set associated with a deviation to arrive at a numerical confidence value; and e) comparing each numerical confidence value to a predetermined threshold and selecting as the correct base the base represented by the peak which has the better numerical confidence value, provided that the numerical confidence value is better than the threshold. The confidence algorithm takes into account at least one, and preferably more than one of several specific characteristics of the peaks in the data sets that were not complementary.

Title: Control system for multi-pump operation
Inventor: LEE SHU-YEE
IPC: F04D15/00
Filed: 1999-03-25
Abstract: A control system, particularly adaptable to multiple-pump operations in process units, is disclosed.  A measured variable, such as pressure, is sensed by a master controller.   The master controller, in turn, sends a signal to the driver of the individual pumps or in other ways regulates the output of the two pumps. The master controller is configured to send different signals simultaneously to the two pumps in response to a change in the measured variable. The result is that the response time of one of the pumps is faster than the other. Thus, minor deviations from the desired setpoint of the measured variable are primarily responded to by the pump configured to react faster. Dramatic upsets, resulting in a significant deviation from the desired setpoint for the measured variable, allow one pump to react fast and change its capacity dramatically to bring the measured variable back to the desired setpoint, while the other pump responds more slowly and thus maintains a reasonable forward fluid flowrate all the time to prevent a process unit shutdown. On sensing a loss of the fast-responding pump, the master controller automatically speeds up the response time of the slowly responding pump so that its capacity can be varied reasonably fast enough to maintain the measured variable at the target condition. By use of differing response times on the pumps, the tendency of the pumps to fight each other when operated by steam turbines, for example, is eliminated. Additionally, the pumps with the control system can quickly respond to large process upsets without triggering shutdown conditions of both pumps which would otherwise cause a processing unit shutdown.

Abstract: A continuous strip dielectric ribbon with, on one side, a centrally located protruding angled dielectric apron, separating two exposed parallel strips of electro-conductive material fastened or embedded into the dielectric ribbon, carrying an electric current, to protect plants from terrestrial mollusks such as snails and slugs.   A low voltage source of 6 - 12 volts is applied to the electro-conductive strips. No current flows through the device until the mollusk attempts to crawl over the device. The power source is intended to be a standard 9 volt battery, but it can be any type of low voltage battery, low voltage transformer, or solar power pack.   The protruding angled dielectric apron minimizes the chance of short circuits in inclement weather, by preventing rain or moisture from making a direct contact with both electro-conductive strips, thereby prolonging the life of the power source, and ensuring the entire system remains continuously electrically charged.   The ribbon is fastened to wood, concrete, plastic, or other border material surrounding or containing plants, and may have an auto adhesive backing for ease of fastening. Electrical connections between the ribbon and the power source can be made using clips, solder, electro-conductive transfer tape, or a combination thereof.

Abstract: A dewatering method for gas supply systems which is adapted for effective removal of adsorbed water by ordinary-temperature exhaust processing without  using the baking method. The dewatering method for gas supply systems which remove water remaining inside a gas supply system by passing a dewatering ga s through the gas supply system, characterized in that the dewatering gas flow  pressure is set at values which are above a minimum pressure at which the ga s flow becomes a viscous flow but which are below the saturated vapor pressure  of water at the dewatering gas flow temperature. The condition under which t he dewatering gas becomes a viscous flow is determined by the mean free path of  gas molecules becoming smaller than the diameter of the piping for the gas supply system. If the dewatering gas is exhausted at ordinary temperature under such condition, the adsorbed water on the inner surface of the piping or in the valve filter can be effectively removed.

Title: Fish farming system and method
Inventor: ZEMACH SHALOM
IPC: A01K61/00
Filed: 2001-07-27
Abstract: The invention provides a deep-water fish farming system comprising a fish cage of controllable buoyancy having one or more chambers, which can be submerged and refloated at a controllable rate to any depth. A winch mechanism mounted preferably on a platform that covers a section of the cage releases and gathers a cable connected to a sinker. When the combined weight of the system overcomes the buoyancy, the fish cage is submerged to a depth determined by the effective length of the cable between the winch mechanism and the sinker, with the sinker touching the sea bottom. The submerged cage is refloated to the surface by remotely activating the winch mechanism, thus releasing the cable, while keeping the sinker on the sea bottom. When the cage is refloated to the surface, the buoyancy is increased to allow pulling of the sinker from the bottom. The invention further provides a method for submerging and raising a fish cage at a controlled rate to any desired depth in deep water.
