Title: Hand held surgical instrument
Inventor: SINTON RICHARD THOMPSON
IPC: A61B17/28
Filed: 2001-06-06
Granted: 2004-12-09
Abstract: The present invention relates to a scissor-action hand surgical instrument having first and second limbs pivotally connected together by a box-joint comprising a tenon portion and a mortice portion through which the tenon portion extends. The second limb has at the mortice portion a pivot pin comprising a neck portion and an enlarged head portion. The tenon portion has a keyhole aperture with a first reduced diameter portion and a second enlarged diameter portion spaced apart from and connected to the first portion and through which the pivot pin head portion is passable for assembly and disassembly of the limbs. The pivot pin neck portion is translatable between the first and second aperture portions. The mortice portion has a central opening at one side around the pivot pin head portion. The central opening is formed and arranged to allow passage therethrough of the tenon portion when the limbs extend substantially transversely of each other and the pivot pin head portion and the second portion of the aperture are in register with each other for passage of the pivot pin head portion through the second portion of the aperture for disengagement of the limbs from one another.

Title: Methods and reagents for molecular cloning
Inventor: BENNETT ROBERT P
IPC: C12N1/21
Filed: 2001-08-21
Granted: 2007-03-22
Abstract: The present invention provides compositions, methods, and kits for covalently linking nucleic acid molecules. The methods include a strand invasion step, and the compositions and kits are useful for performing such methods. For example, a method of covalently linking double stranded (ds) nucleic acid molecules can include contacting a first ds nucleic acid molecule, which has a topoisomerase linked to a 3′ terminus of one end and has a single stranded 5′ overhang at the same end, with a second ds nucleic acid molecule having a blunt end, such that the 5′ overhang can hybridize to a complementary sequence of the blunt end of the second nucleic acid molecule, and the topoisomerase can covalently link the ds nucleic acid molecules. The methods are simpler and more efficient than previous methods for covalently linking nucleic acid sequences, and the compositions and kits facilitate practicing the methods, including methods of directionally linking two or more ds nucleic acid molecules.

Title: Nanoparticle probes with raman spectroscopic fingerprints for analyte detection
Inventor: JIN RONGCHAO
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 2003-05-07
Granted: 2007-05-24
Abstract: The invention encompasses reagents comprising particles with at least one Raman dye and a specific binding members bound thereto and methods of using such reagents. The invention also encompasses reagents of a specific binding member and two or more different Raman dyes and methods for using such reagents. New types of particle probes having a specific binding member bound thereto are described. These reagents are used in a novel detection strategy that utilizes the catalytic properties of the Au nanoparticles to generate a silver coating that can behave as a surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) promoter for the dye-labeled particles that have been captured by target and an underlying chip in microarray format. The strategy provides the high sensitivity and high selectivity attributes of grey-scale scanometric detection but provides a route to multiplexing and ratioing capabilities since a very large number of probes can be designed based upon the concept of using a Raman tag as a spectroscopic fingerprint in detection. These spectra are used as fingerprints to differentiate oligonucleotide or other targets in one solution. This method has been used to distinguish six dissimilar DNA targets with six Raman labeled nanoparticle probes, and also two RNA targets with single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs).
