Title: Apparatus and method of data capture
Inventor: HALL SIMON JOHN
IPC: G06F11/14
Filed: 2014-05-12
Abstract: A method of capturing the state of a target program 100 that is running within the environment of an OS comprises: identifying threads 120 associated with the target program; suspending these threads; preserving data characterising the threads; and preserving data 130, 140 accessible by the threads when in operation. A method of changing the state of a target program that is running within the environment of an OS comprises: identifying threads associated with the target program; suspending these threads; replacing data characterising the threads with previously preserved data; and replacing data accessible by the threads when in operation with previously preserved data. In either case, the threads may then be resumed to allow the target program to continue operation. Capturing the state provides a snapshot 232 or restore point or checkpoint. This allows the program state to be saved and then restored or rewound to an earlier state. A thread suspended in a protected mode may be handled by releasing it and running it to a breakpoint outside the protected mode. Furthermore, a loop implemented outside the protected mode may be used to trap any threads that might remain in kernel mode indefinitely.

Title: A method for detecting PCR amplification in a sample
Inventor: HIGGINS JANIKA
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 2015-07-14
Abstract: A method for detecting PCR amplification of a target DNA molecule in a sample is described which employs a forward PCR primer having a sequence that is complementary to the target double stranded nucleic acid and a tail sequence, a reverse PCR primer having a sequence that is complementary to the target double stranded nucleic acid, and a dual labelled probe containing an oligonucleotide sequence identical to the tail sequence of the forward PCR primer oligonucleotide and a reporter label and a quencher-label separated by a nuclease susceptible cleavage site. The method comprises the steps of incubating the forward and reverse PCR primers and dual labelled probe together, performing at least two rounds of PCR to generate a double stranded nucleic acid comprising the tail region and a sequence complementary to the tail region, and initiating a further round of PCR in which the oligonucleotide probe binds to the sequence complementary to the tail region, whereby the oligonucleotide probe is displaced and cleaved (e.g. by exonuclease activity of the DNA polymerase) resulting in a detectable signal from the reporter label. Associated methods for detecting different alleles and kits comprising the aforementioned primers and probes are also claimed.
