Title: Detection of mutations in genes by specific LNA primers
Inventor: SKOUV JAN
IPC: C12Q1/6858
Filed: 2000-03-17
Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of detecting variant nucleic acid whose nucleotide sequence differs from one another at a single (or more) position(s). The method uses a set of chimeric oligonucleotides containing DNA monomers and monomers of a novel class of DNA analogues, locked nucleic acid (LNA). LNA oligomers obey the Watson-Crick base-pairing rules and form duplexes that are significantly more stable than similar duplexes formed by DNA. The "allele-specific" LNA-containing oligonucleotides wherein the LNA nucleotide(s) are found at the 3' position can be extended by means of enzymes only where the nucleotide(s), which is/are terminal in direction of extension, is/are complementary to the corresponding nucleotides of the nucleic acid (of the one allele) to be detected. Thus discrimination between alleles without subsequent differential hybridization with labelled oligonucleotides is possible. The invention further relates to reagents for performing the methods as well as applications of the method.

Title: A transportable container for bulk goods and method for forming the container
Inventor: OURS DAVID C
IPC: B65B1/02
Filed: 2000-12-15
Abstract: A transportable container (10) for bulk goods and a method for forming the container.  The transportable container is formed from a bag (42) having a closed base (46) and an open top (44).  The open top is in a folded over position and a bottom support (47) is located adjacent to the closed base.  A particulate material (72) is filled into the bag and an outer wrap (58) is spirally wrapped around the bottom support and the bag such that the outer wrap secures the bag to the bottom support and secures the open top in the folded over position.  The method for forming the transportable container includes the steps of securing the open top of the bag in an opened position and supporting a base of the bag.  The bag is filled to a predetermined level with a particulate material and while being filled the fill level of the particulate material in the bag is monitored.  Simultaneously with filling of the bag, an outer wrap is spirally wrapped around the bag in an upward direction to a predetermined fill level.  Once the bag is completely filled the open top of the bag is released and moved into a folded over position whereupon the outer wrap is spirally wound around the bag in a downward direction to secure the open top in the folded over position thereby forming the transportable container.
