Abstract: A locking mechanism for a lid which covers an opening in a mower deck directly above blades which rotate within the deck, the locking mechanism locks the lid in a position generally covering the opening and is releasable by an operator for allowing the operator to shift the lid to a position whereat the opening is generally uncovered. A chute extends laterally outwardly from the opening, is pivotable as the chute abuts obstructions during mowing operations. The locking mechanism remains locked as the chute pivots. Thelocking mechanism includes a rod member about which the lid is pivotable between open and closed positions. A torsion spring biases the lid to pivot to the closed position and biases the lid to shift laterally. A cam member fixed with the lid includes a finger portion which abuts a blocking member for blocking the cam member and lid from pivoting from the closed to the open position. The lid is shiftable by the operator for shifting the finger portion clear of the blocking member to allow the lid to be pivoted by the operator to its open position.

Title: Procedure for subtractive hybridization and difference analysis
Inventor: SCHUELER PAULA
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 1998-03-24
Abstract: Improved methods for obtaining polynucleotides comprising sequences which differ between two populations of DNA or cDNA are provided. Improvements include reduction in the number of amplification cycles, use of a nuclease digestion step prior to amplification, a novel oligonucleotide adapter for the practice of the improved method, and novel methods for selective amplification of the desired unique fragments and selective degradation of fragments containing sequences common to both populations. Fragments of a sample population are amplified using a primer that endows the amplification products with resistance to nuclease degradation. Fragments of a control population are amplified using a primer that targets the amplification products for preferential degradation. Multiple cycles of hybridization, nuclease treatment and amplification are utilized to provide enrichment of fragments unique to the sample population. Such unique fragments may represent new or amplified sequences in the sample population, sequences that are differently arranged in the sample population compared to the control population, and sequences that are differentially expressed in a cDNA population. A variation of the technique also allows the isolation of fragments representing deletions in the sample population.
