IPC: B62M3/04
Filed: 2003-08-18
Abstract: A hinged crank arm offers a solution for people with limited knee flexion, most often those whom have undergone a Van Nes Rotationplasty surgery, that would otherwise be unable to ride a bicycle safely. The hinged crank arm allows the pedal to drop down to the appropriate level in order to enable foot clearance that allows full completion of a pedal rotation cycle. This is achieved by means of an outer rotating crank arm mounted to an inner crank arm with an attached hinge. The inner crank arm is left as long as possible in order to maximize the torque attainable by the rider pushing on the pedal. The outer rotating crank arm makes up the difference in length from that of a standard crank arm, however must allow the pedal to drop low enough at the top of the pedal rotation cycle to allow clearance of the rider's foot.

Title: Method for the synthesis of dna sequences
Inventor: CERRINA FRANCESCO
IPC: C12N15/11
Filed: 2002-05-17
Abstract: A method is disclosed for the direct synthesis of double stranded DNA  molecules of a variety of sizes and with any desired sequence. The DNA  molecule to be synthesis is logically broken up into smaller overlapping DNA  segments. A maskless microarray synthesizer is used to make a DNA microarray on a substrate in which each element or feature of the array is populated by DNA of a one of the overlapping DNA segments. The DNA segments are released from the substrate and held under conditions favoring hybridization of DNA, under which conditions the segments will spontaneously hybridize together to form the desired DNA construct. This method makes possible the remote assembly of DNA sequence, through a process analogous to facsimile transmission of documents, since the information on DNA to be made can be transmitted remotely to an instrument which can then synthesize any needed DNA sequence from the information.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un pilote de porteuse optique qui filtre de manière séquentielle ou sélective une ou des porteuse(s) optique(s) (11) de lumière à partie d'un signal d'entrée optique de multiplexage en longueur d'onde (12) et capte des paramètres prédéterminés de chaque signal optique filtré (par exemple, la puissance de porteuse, la présence de porteuse, le rapport signal-bruit). Le pilote de porteuse optique (200) est un dispositif optique sans contrainte d'espace comportant un ensemble collimateur (224), un réseau de diffraction (214) et un miroir (202). Une fibre amorce de lancement (220) transmet dans l'espace libre le signal d'entrée à travers l'ensemble collimateur (224) et sur le réseau de diffraction (214), qui sépare dans l'espace chacune des porteuses optiques (11) de la lumière collimatée, et réfléchit les porteuses séparées de lumière sur le miroir (202). Le miroir réfléchit la lumière séparée vers le réseau de diffraction (214), qui réfléchit les porteuses de lumière en retour à travers l'objectif collimateur. L'objectif focalise chaque porteuse de lumière séparée (.lambda. - .lambda.¿N?) à un foyer différent dans l'espace. Une des porteuses (11) est focalisée sur la fibre d'amorce de réception (204) qui ensuite effectue la propagation vers un photodétecteur (206). Un mécanisme de pivotement (201) fait pivoter le miroir (201) autour d'un point de pivotement (203) pour focaliser de manière séquentielle ou sélective chaque porteuse (11) vers la fibre d'amorce de réception (204). Un capteur de position détecte le déplacement du miroir. Le capteur de position comprend un miroir supplémentaire (210, 212) monté adjacent au réseau (214). Lesdits miroirs dévient la lumière réfléchie à partir du miroir de balayage (202) dans la fibre amorce (242) et y fournit par des signaux de référence arythmiques pour un cycle de balayage du contrôleur de porteuses optiques.
