Patent CA-2360011-A1 (CA)
Title: Ordered gene assembly
Inventor: COLJEE VINCENT W
IPC: C12N15/66
Filed: 2000-01-05
Abstract: The present invention provides techniques for producing DNA product molecule s that may be easily and directly ligated to recipient molecules. The product molecules need not be cleaved with restriction enzymes in order to undergo such ligation. In preferred embodiments of the invention, the DNA product molecules are produced through iterative DNA synthesis reactions, so that th e product molecules are amplified products. The invention further provides methods for directed ligation of product molecules (i. e., for selective ligation of certain molecules within a collection of molecules), and also fo r methods of exon shuffling, in which multiple different products molecules ar e produced in a single ligation reaction. Preferred embodiments of the inventi on involved ligation of product molecules encoding functional protein domains, particularly domains naturally found in conserved gene families.

Title: Wedge-lockable removable punch and die bushing in retainer
Inventor: JANEK FRANCIS RICHARD JR
IPC: B21D28/34
Filed: 2000-07-06
Abstract: A conventional ball lock mechanism has been replaced with a wedge adapted to lock a tool, such as a punch, forming tool or die bushing in a retainer block in which the tool can be accurately po-sitioned relative to the retainer block. The tool is released by moving the wedge away from the retainer block. The inclined surface of the wedge may be inclined upward or downward at an acute angle to the vertical, or the wedge may have both upwardly and downwardly in-clined surfaces. The upper portion of the tool is preferably non-circu-lar and is held within a tool cavity formed when the wedge is disposed in the retainer block. One surface of the wedge (its tool-mating sur-face) is adapted to correspond to the surface of the tool in contact with the wedge. The assembly of wedge slidably disposed within the re-tainer block is preferably used with a hardened backing plate rather than being secured directly to the die shoe. Several embodiments for securing the wedge in the retainer block are described in each of which the wedge is vertically translatable. The preferred method for forming the wedge is to cut it from a block of hardened tool steel with a wire electric discharge machine.
