Title: Docking guidance
Inventor: HARVISON ERIC JOSEPH
IPC: B64F1/00
Filed: 2004-04-08
Abstract: Docking guidance for an aircraft pilot involves viewing horizontal bars ( 4 ) and a vertical bar ( 5 ) mounted above the pilot's eye-level a short, distance beyond the docking station. The bars ( 4, 5 ), which comprise amber Leeds, are viewed against an array of amber Leeds of a back-plane ( 7 ). One row ( 9 ) of the array, selected according to aircraft type, is turned ON to form a horizontal datum bar ( 10 ) towards which the horizontal bars ( 4 ) are seen to close as the aircraft moves onto the docking station. Two columns ( 8 ) of green LEDs are included in the array and those below the datum bar ( 10 ) of the array are ON to form vertical bars ( 11 ). The aircraft is manoeuvred in azimuth to keep the vertical bar ( 5 ) between the green bars ( 11 ). According to a modification, bars ( 18 ) of columns ( 14 ) of red LEDs that are obscured from the pilot by baffle-screens ( 15 ) when the aircraft is properly aligned, become visible upon deviation from alignment; the screens ( 15 ) also act according to the extent of the deviation to obscure the nearest green bar ( 17 ) from view.

Title: System for detecting polynucleotides
Inventor: ZWICK MICHAEL S
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 2004-05-20
Abstract: The present invention relates to methods for detecting the presence or amount of a target polynucleotide. A polynucleotide, target nucleic acid analog, and dye are combined to form a mixture. The optical property of the dye is observed after the mixture is exposed to a stimulating means. Optionally, after the stimulating means is employed, the mixture is compared to a reference value characteristic of the rate of change in the optical property of the dye in a similar mixture containing a known amount of a target polynucleotide/nucleic acid analog hybrid to determine a relative rate of change in the optical property. The change in a property of the mixture after exposure thereof to a stimulating means or the relative rate of change in the optical property of dye in the mixture is correlated with the presence or amount of the specified target polynucleotide in the sample.
