Title: Improved nucleic acid cloning
Inventor: JARRELL KEVIN A
IPC: C12N15/10
Filed: 2000-01-05
Granted: 2004-06-24
Abstract: The present invention provides an improved system for linking nucleic acids to one another. In particular, the present invention provides techniques for producing DNA product molecules that may be easily and directly ligated to recipient molecules. The product molecules need not be cleaved with restriction enzymes in order to undergo such ligation. In preferred embodiments of the invention, the DNA product molecules are produced through iterative DNA synthesis reactions, so that the product molecules are amplified products. The invention further provides methods for directed ligation of product molecules (i.e., for selective ligation of certain molecules within a collection of molecules), and also for methods of exon shuffling, in which multiple different product molecules are produced in a single ligation reaction. Preferred embodiments of the invention involve ligation of product molecules encoding functional protein domains, particularly domains naturally found in conserved gene families. The inventive DNA manipulation system is readily integrated with other nucleic acid manipulation systems, such as ribozyme-mediated systems, and also is susceptible to automation.

Title: Progressive scan television receiver for non-standard signals
Inventor: WILLIS DONALD HENRY
IPC: H04N5/44
Filed: 1985-05-22
Granted: 1989-01-12
Abstract: Phase detectors (202, 204) in a progressively scanned television receiver measure the phase of the receiver video speed-up memory read (8fsc) and write (4fsc) clocks with respect to the double line-rate horizontal sweep signal (FB) of the display. Delay means (34, 36) are provided for delaying the video signal recovered from the memory (30, 32) as a function of the difference (224) between the read and write clock phase measurements each time the memory is read. The delay is effective for minimizing visible artifacts which otherwise may tend to occur when displaying "non-standard" video signals wherein the ratio of the color-subcarrier frequency to the line-frequency of the incoming video signal differs from a given broadcasting standard.
