Abstract: The present invention relates to simple method to fabricate DNA hybridization devices based upon adsorptive attachment of oligonucleotides to a positively charged surface. Such adsorbed oligonucleotide probes form a densely packed monolayer, which retains capacity for base-pair specific hybridization with a solution state nucleic acid target strand to form the duplex. However, both strand dissociation kinetics and the rate of DNase digestion suggest on symmetry grounds that solution-state nucleic acid binds to such adsorbed oligonucleotides to form a highly asymmetric and unwound duplex, with structural details that are substantially different from that known for the Watson-Crick DNA duplex. This novel nucleic acid duplex form can serve as the basis for a new class of hybridization device and methods for their use. It is also disclosed that new methods of nucleic acid duplex detection can be developed which are based upon the interaction of enzymes and dye labels with the unique structural characteristics of the non-helical duplex described herein. Preferred implementations of the invention include DNA microarrays, bead-based nucleic acid analysis, microelectronic devices to detect nucleic acid hybridization and more traditional methods of laboratory analysis, including hybridization on membranous and other solid supports.

Abstract: An apparatus and method suitable for producing a set of filter coefficients are provided. Sequences of samples of first and second signals are received by the apparatus. Each received sample is processed to update a set of auto-correlation data elements and cross-correlation data elements. The set of auto-correlation data elements corresponds to a compressed version of a corresponding auto-correlation matrix data structure. A scheduling controller generates a scheduling signal including a succession of scheduling commands, the scheduling command indicating that a new set of filter coefficients is to be computed. A new scheduling command is issued when at least two samples of first and second signals are received subsequent to a previously issued scheduling command. In response to a scheduling command, the auto-correlation data elements are processed to generate the auto-correlation matrix data structure. The auto-correlation matrix data structure and the cross-correlation data elements are processed to generate a set of filter coefficients by applying a least squares method.

Abstract: The invention relates to carriers for immobilized biomolecules and to a method for the immobilization of said biomolecules on the surfaces of said carriers. The aim of the invention is to simplify and improve the immobilization of said biomolecules in comparison with prior art. This is accomplished by using carriers that can be utilized when affinity assays are carried out. The corresponding biomolecules are embedded in a substance with an anionic character chosen from the group consisting of salts, polyanions, polycations, zwitterions, ampholytes and salts for buffer solutions or a mixture of said substances. Furthermore, at least part of the biomolecules is immobilized on the surface of the carrier.

Abstract: The present invention includes a method for preparing polymer hydrogel spherical particles on a nanometer scale (nanogels). The method includes encapsulating hydrogel-forming components into liposomes, diluting the large unilamellar liposomes suspension to prevent polymerization outside the liposomes, and polymerizing the encapsulated hydrogel-forming components. The lipid bilayer may be solubilized with detergent. The phospholipid and detergent molecules and their micelles may then be removed by dialysis. The resulting nanogels may then be dried by evaporation in a temperature gradient. Poly(acrylamide), poly(N-isopropylacrylamide), and poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-co-1-vinylimidazole) hydrogel particles with a diameter from 30 to 300 nm were detected and characterized by dynamic light scattering technique. The solvent, temperature, pH, and ionic sensitivities of the nanogels were studied.

Abstract: A touch-trigger probe is described having a workpiece-contact sensor (15) in the form of a kinematic seating (10) and workpiece contacting stylus (12). A processor µP in the form of a reprogrammable PIC microcontroller is used to monitor the signal from the sensor 15. When the signal is above a threshold for a continual period of time (Ct Fig 3) then the processor issues a trigger signal. The monitoring of the time period (Ct) may be delayed. This delay (Ci Fig 4) allows triggering initiated by the shock wave produced initially when workpiece contact occurs.

Abstract: The present invention provides systems for the injection delivery of at least two fluid doses to a small bird by penetrating the skin of the recipient bird with at least two injection needles. It is then possible to simultaneously inject drugs, or other fluid vaccines that do not mix well or whose mixture would be detrimental to the stability or efficacy of the active ingredients therein. The present invention provides a novel injection needle support for connecting the injection needles to dose distributors and fluid supply containers while maintaining the injection ends of the injection needles in a substantially parallel arrangement.The injection needle support typically is attached to a carrier connected to an actuator, an actuator power source and a switch mechanism wherein the actuator, when activated, can reciprocally move the carrier and injection support toward and away from an injection position. The injection delivery system may further include one or more dose distributors and fluid supply containers for delivering fluid doses to the injection needles for injection into a recipient bird held against an aperture in a retaining plate.

Abstract: A modular work system permits Rig Up time to be substantially reduced by reducing the number of crane lifts required to offload equipment for a transport boat or vehicle. This is achieved by developing transport skids capable of holding multiple system components. The number of equipment components that must be mechanically coupled on location is reduced by pre-assembling the components and maintaining the assembly in operating condition during storage and transport. Skid design concepts are employed, wherein a skid system carries various pre-assembled components for transport, storage and operation. Specifically, a skid sub-system includes various related components. The components are either pre-assembled or are designed to complete a sub-assembly through final assembly on the rig. The skid is moved into place using the crane, and the assembly is completed. Additional sub-systems are mounted on additional skids which are designed to be mated with the other related skids and sub-assemblies. Each skid sub-system fits in an envelope meeting transportation regulations for vehicle width and height. The system is particularly suitable for jacking frame operations.
