Title: Nucleic acid sequencing system and method
Inventor: KAIN ROBERT C
IPC: G16B30/00
Filed: 2008-01-28
Abstract: A technique for sequencing nucleic acids in an automated or semi-automated manner is disclosed. Sample arrays of a multitude of nucleic acid sites are processed in multiple cycles to add nucleotides to the material to be sequenced, detect the nucleotides added to sites, and to de-block the added nucleotides of blocking agents and tags used to identify the last added nucleotide. Multiple parameters of the system are monitored to enable diagnosis and correction of problems as they occur during sequencing of the samples. Quality control routines are run during sequencing to determine quality of samples, and quality of the data collected.

Abstract: In a microwave heating apparatus, the fundamental TE 10 mode of the standard waveguide (5) having a standard rectangular cross-section is fed into an elongated heating cavity (2) having an enlarged rectangular cross-section in which the shorter side of the standard waveguide is enlarged to a length which can accommodate the desired width of a board (8) to be heated. A pair of lateral slots (25) is provided parallel in the opposite enlarged walls (11) of the heating cavity (2) to form a track for the board (8) to travel across the cavity. As the initially longer sidewall (11) of the standard waveguide is unchanged, the fundamental mode is not affected but the electric field is uniformly distributed along the width of the board (8) traversing the electric field and the cavity.  As a result, wider products can be heated and a more uniform heating pattern can be achieved.

IPC: E05F1/00

Abstract: A carrier assembly consisting of a carrier, a carrier encasement and a sash latch.  The carrier is secured to the end of one or more balances, including spiral rod and block and tackle balances. The weight of the sash is borne by a platform on the carrier. The undesired vertical forces exerted by the balance on the carrier is thereby translated into a force urging the carrier toward the sash until firm contact is made between the carrier encasement and the side of the sash. The translation of the torsional force into a side directed force eliminates or substantially reduces the friction that might otherwise have existed between the carrier and the jamb channel caused by the undesired vertical forces exerted by the balance on the carrier.

Abstract: A firefighting apparatus on a small all-terrain utility vehicle has a U-shaped water tank closely spaced from the driver's cab. A reel for a high-pressure hose is mounted in the U of the water tank. A high-pressure engine driven pump is connected to the reel and a high- pressure hose through a water management system, which directs water from the water tank to the pump, and from the pump to the hose. The pump has a pressure valve which sets the engine idle when the high-pressure water nozzle is closed. A pressure unloader valve recirculates water from the pump outlet to the pump inlet when the nozzle is closed. A check valve is used between the water tank and a point where water recirculates to the pump. A prefilter is connected between the check valve and the water tank.

Title: Microbial process for the preparation of acetic acid as well as solvent for its extraction from the fermentation broth
Inventor: GADDY JAMES L
IPC: C12P/
Filed: 1999-09-07
Abstract: A modified water-immiscible solvent useful in the extraction of acetic acid from aqueous streams is a substantially pure mixture of isomers of highly branched di-alkyl amines. This solvent is substantially devoid of mono-alkyl amines and alcohols. Solvent mixtures formed of such a modified solvent with a desired cosolvent, preferably a low boiling hydrocarbon which forms an azeotrope with water are useful in the extraction of acetic acid from aqueous gaseous streams. An anaerobic microbial fermentation process for the production of acetic acid employs such solvents, under conditions which limit amide formation by the solvent and thus increase the efficiency of acetic acid recovery. Methods for the direct extraction of acetic acid and the extractive fermentation of acetic acid also employ the modified solvents and increase efficiency of acetic acid production. Such increases in efficiency are also obtained where the energy source for the microbial fermentation contains carbon dioxide and the method includes a carbon dioxide stripping step prior to extraction of acetic acid in solvent.

Title: Process for preparing a filler for asphalt or concrete starting from a slag material
Inventor: NGUYEN EVELYNE
IPC: C04B28/02
Filed: 2008-06-02
Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for preparing, starting from a slag material, a filler for construction materials which contain bitumen or a hydraulic binding agent. The slag used to prepare the filler contains y- dicalcium silicate. The process comprises the step of removing from the slag material a finer fraction formed by particles of a size between 0 and at least 0.75 mm so as to reduce the .gamma.-dicalcium silicate content of the slag material; and the step of finely milling at least a portion of the remaining coarser fraction of the slag to obtain the filler. The invention also relates to the obtained filler, to the use thereof for preparing construction materials and to concrete or mortar compositions and asphalt compositions containing the filler. By removing the finer fraction from the slag material, a filler is obtained which has a considerably lower water content so that it becomes suitable for use in asphalt or concrete or mortar compositions, in particular in self-compacting concrete compositions.

Abstract: Trailers are designed to carry merchandise and be towed by a vehicle. The selection of the trailer size depends of the magnitude of merchandise that is planned to be hauled. A short trailer is easy to tow, easy to park, and also easy to store, but has limited space for goods. A large trailer can haul huge merchandise, but is not as easy to tow, park or store, as a short trailer. In addition, a big space is necessary to store a trailer, space that is not always available. In order to decrease the size of the trailer, several folding trailers have been developed, but when they are folded, they loose their storing condition.  This invention relates to a large folding trailer that can be used at full size, or be folded to be used as a short trailer, as well as be folded again to store in a compressed configuration and, in this configuration, it is still possible to be used for storage.
