Title: Dna amplification and subtraction techniques
Inventor: REYES GREGORY R
IPC: C12Q1/6809
Filed: 1989-06-16
Granted: 1992-02-20
Abstract: A method of isolating genomic or RNA-derived duplex fragments which are unique to one of two fragment mixtures. The fragments in positive-source and negative-source mixtures are separately equipped with end linkers, and each mixture is amplified by successive primed-strand replications, using a single primer which is homologous to the associated linker. The second-source linker is biotinylated, and the fragments in this mixture are hybridized in molar excess with the fragments in the positive-source mixture. DNA species which are not hybridized with the biotinylated species, i.e., species that are unique to the positive-source mixture, are isolated after removal of hybridized species by affinity chromatography. Also disclosed is a method of amplifying a mixture of DNA fragments by repeated linker/primer replication.

Title: Passive interferometric sensor arrays
Inventor: PAVLATH GEORGE A
IPC: G01J9/00
Filed: 1985-03-15
Granted: 1987-01-15
Abstract: This invention provides a sensor array using a plurality of fiber optic sensors connected between transmit fibers and receive fibers. The laser transmitter supplies pulses to the transmit fiber and fiber optic couplers couple the pulses from the transmit fiber into the fiber optic sensors. The pulses from the laser transmitter may be frequency chirped or frequency stepped to provide passive sampling of interferometric sensors in addition to intensity sensors, or otherwise frequency modulated. Each sensor is configured to respond to changes in a predetermined physical parameter by altering the shape of the pulse thereto. Fiber optic couplers couple the sensor output signals into the receive fiber for input to a receiver, which converts the optical signals into electrical signals for input to a processor. A timing reference correlates the sensor output pulses with the sensors.

Title: Treatment of a gas stream containing hydrogen sulphide
Inventor: WATSON RICHARD WILLIAM
IPC: C01B17/16
Filed: 2001-08-14
Granted: 2004-09-30
Abstract: Sour gas containing hydrogen sulphide has hydrogen sulphide absorbed therefrom in an absorbent in a vessel 4. A hydrogen sulphide rich gas stream is formed by desorbing hydrogen sulphide from the absorbent in a vessel 12. The resulting hydrogen sulphide rich gas stream is partially burned in a furnace 32. Resulting sulphur dioxide reacts therein with residual hydrogen sulphide to form sulphur vapour which is extracted in a condenser 44. Residual sulphur dioxide and sulphur vapour are reduced to hydrogen sulphide in catalyst stage 54 of a reactor 50. Water vapour is removed from the resulting reduced gas stream by direct contact with water in a quench tower 60. At least part of the resulting water vapour depleted gas stream is sent to the vessel 4 with the incoming sour gas stream. <IMAGE>

Title: Fault-tolerant networking
Inventor: HUANG JIANDONG
IPC: H04L69/40
Filed: 1999-10-07
Granted: 2004-03-11
Abstract: Methods and apparatus for implementation of fault-tolerant networks provide a network fault-tolerance manager for detecting failures and manipulating a node to communicate with an active channel. Failure detection incorporates one or more methods, including message pair and link pulse detection. Failure recovery includes switching all node data communications to a stand-by channel or switching just those nodes detecting a failure. Communication between nodes provides the distributed detection, with detecting nodes reporting failures to their network fault-tolerance manager and the network fault-tolerance manager broadcasting the failure recovery to all nodes. The network fault-tolerance manager is middleware, residing with each node in a logical hierarchy above a physical layer of a network and below a transport layer of the network. The approach is particularly suited to Ethernet LANs and capable of using commercial off-the-shelf network components.

Title: Controlled casting of hypereutectic alloys
IPC: B22D25/06
Filed: 1990-12-11
Granted: 1993-05-27
Abstract: PCT No. PCT/AU90/00588 Sec. 371 Date Jul. 2, 1992 Sec. 102(e) Date Jul. 2, 1992 PCT Filed Dec. 11, 1990 PCT Pub. No. WO91/02100 PCT Pub. Date Feb. 21, 1991.Al base - Si hypereutetic alloys can exhibit problems of variable and unwanted microstructure throughout the section of the article being cast. This problem is overcome by controlled cooling of the mold in critical areas, to remove or prevent excessive accumulation of heat energy and avoid the formation of intense convection currents in still molten alloy. Consequently, the necessary coupled growth of the Al-Si eutectic is promoted and the resultant microstructure is substantially free of primary Si. The 3HA and modified 3HA alloys of the applicant are considered on the basis of their wear resistance and improved machineability for automotive applications, such as engine blocks and cylinder heads. A first feature of the controlled cooling procedure is supply of coolant to regions in the mold, above and extending from the gate, such that solidification progresses uniformly from the remote regions of the mold spaces towards the gate to give a substantially uniform microstructure throughout the casting. Various coolants may be used, so that temperature in the vicinity of the gate is 50 DEG -75 DEG  C. above those at the extremities. A second feature of the controlled cooling procedure consists of supplying melt to the mold cavity through a plurality of gates, spaced relative to one another in the critical control region of the mold. The result of using such a plurality of gates, is that the energy accumulated is more widely distributed in a plurality of critical control regions, in order to achieve the necessary temperatures at the remote and gate regions and temperature differentials between these.
