Abstract: Methods of obtaining a sample of target nucleic acid from cells containing the target nucleic acid and genomic DNA or RNA are disclosed. In contrast to prior art protocols, this method does not require the cells containing the target nucleic acid to be lysed and instead is based on the observation when cells are suspended in an aqueous medium and the target nucleic acid are released into the medium through the cell walls. The invention therefore helps to avoid the use of cell lysis, heating, extremes of pH, water immiscible solvents, and electrical fields used in prior art nucleic acid extraction methods. The present invention is particularly applicable to the separation of non-genomic nucleic acid, such as cellular vector DNA or RNA, self-replicating satellite nucleic acids or plasmid DNA, from genomic nucleic acids, such as host cell chromosomes and ribosomal RNA.

Abstract: The invention relates to the techniques relating to snake vehicles comprising a series of elements which are articulated to one another and which are subjected to lateral undulations.  According to the invention, the vehicle is powered jointly by lateral and longitudinal undulations.  Said lateral undulations resemble a fish swimming: the lateral supports (bumps in the ground or hydrodynamic force in a liquid medium) produce a propulsive force when the movements are co-ordinated such that each element attempts to copy the orientation of the preceding element (followed by a wake).  The longitudinal undulations consist of a series of movements which propagate regularly across the ventral surface of the vehicle.  The ventral surface (V) can adhere, for example, in a directional manner (sliding forwards, hooking into another) in such a way as to increase the propulsive force even more.  The invention is particularly suitable for transporting loads over all types of terrain (hard, soft, uneven, etc.) in a discreet manner (visually and acoustically).

Abstract: A system and method for designing a progressive lens. Mean power is specified at points distributed over the entire surface of the lens and lens height is specified around the edge of the lens. Lens height is determined at the points consistent with the specified mean power and the lens edge height in part by solving a partial differential equation of the elliptic type subject to the lens edge height as a boundary condition. A successive over-relaxation technique may be employed to converge on the solution to the partial differential equation, and an over-relaxation factor may be determined to most efficiently relax the equation.

Abstract: A mineral-fortification system that has a bottle cap, a pouch and a pouch opener. A powder is contained within the pouch, and the powder contains at least one mineral and a redox modulating compound. When the cap is secured onto the opening of a bottle containing a liquid and when the pouch opener is activated, the powder is released from the pouch and mixes with the liquid to form a mineral fortified liquid composition that is fortified with at least one mineral and has a pH between about 2.5 and 9.5. Moreover, the mineral fortified liquid composition has a redox potential that satisfies the following equation:0 ³ RP - (A - B*pH). In this equation RP is the redox potential in millivolts of the mineral-containing liquid composition, pH is the pH of the mineral-containing liquid composition, A is 400 and B is 20. The mineral is preferably selected from calcium, iron, zinc, copper, manganese, iodine, magnesium, and mixtures of these. Moreover, the mineral-fortified liquid composition may preferably be substantially free of flavor or sweetener compounds. Even more preferably, the liquid composition has no metallic taste or after-taste, a Hunter colorimetric "b" reading of less than 5.0, and an NTU turbidity value of less than 5.0. The mineral-fortified liquid composition may optionally contain other nutrients and vitamins, for example, vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin E, niacin, thiamin, vitamin B6, vitamin B2, vitamin B 12, folic acid, selenium, pantathonic acid, and iodine.

Abstract: A short-range RF access point contains two Bluetooth devices. The first device is programmed to remain a master device. The second device is programmed to remain a scanning slave device. The two devices are connected to exchange clock, address, and synchronization information. The access point master device transmits inquiry and paging packets and establishes connections with potential slave devices that respond to inquiries from the master device. The master device's clock is the piconet clock for the resulting connections. The access point slave device primarily remains in an inquiry scanning mode, searching for inquiry packets from mobile devices that are potential master devices. When the access point slave device receives the inquiry packets and paging packets from a mobile device, it then passes control to the access point master device. Several embodiments are disclosed for passing control from the access point slave to the access point master.
