Abstract: The present invention provides compositions, methods, and kits for covalently linking nucleic acid molecules. The methods include a strand invasion step, and the compositions and kits are useful for performing such methods. For example, a method of covalently linking double stranded (ds) nucleic acid molecules can include contacting a first ds nucleic acid molecule, which has a topoisomerase linked to a 3′ terminus of one end and has a single stranded 5′ overhang at the same end, with a second ds nucleic acid molecule having a blunt end, such that the 5′ overhang can hybridize to a complementary sequence of the blunt end of the second nucleic acid molecule, and the topoisomerase can covalently link the ds nucleic acid molecules. The methods are simpler and more efficient than previous methods for covalently linking nucleic acid sequences, and the compositions and kits facilitate practicing the methods, including methods of directionally linking two or more ds nucleic acid molecules.

Abstract: Coolant gas recovery and reuse from a heat exchanger (2) is automatically interrupted when the oxygen content of the used gas exceeds a predetermined maximum concentration and is recommenced when the oxygen content falls below a predetermined minimum concentration. The mass flow of coolant gas (5) introduced into the passageway is controlled independently of its composition and, during normal operation, the mass flow ratio of coolant gas withdrawn (15,15') for recovery to coolant gas (5) introduced into the heat exchanger (2) is maintained constant. This ratio can be ramped up to the constant level in a predetermined manner on start up of fibre cooling and following recovery interruption. The invention provides both methods and apparatus and has particular application to Optical Fibre (1) manufacture. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A device for compressing gas using thermal energy. In a subsonic embodiment the heat gas passes through a convergent pipe C 1 where it is provided with operating velocity, a convergent pipe C 2 where it is simultaneously maintained at high speed and cooled by evaporation of liquid sprayed by nozzles R with adjustable position distributed in C 2. In a supersonic embodiment, the gas reaches sonic velocity at the throat of C 2 and supersonic velocity in a divergent DG, then compressed in a convergent CG 1 and simultaneously cooled by evaporation of sprayed liquid. In both embodiments, the gas is finally compressed in a subsonic divergent DG 1. Pipes with variable geometry enable to modify the cross-sections of the throats of the device. The device is essentially designed for thermoelectric power stations.

Abstract: The present invention proposes a method of channel allocation for a mobile terminal (MS) moving in a cellular communication network (NW), said method comprising the steps of: detecting (S 21 ) the speed of said mobile terminal (MS) moving in said network, and dependent on said detected speed (S 23 , S 25 ), allocating (S 24 , S 26 , S 27 ) a channel of a specific type to said mobile terminal (MS). Accordingly, with the present invention implemented, delays in neighbor cell SCH decoding and signal level measurement are significantly reduced and may thus no longer result in incomplete data for inter-cell handover decision or even unsuccessfull handovers. Hence, communication network performance in particular in connection with handovers in a cellular network layout is improved. The present invention also concerns an accordingly adapted device for channel allocation.

Abstract: A novel electronics cooling method and system is disclosed. A very flexible and efficient operation of an electronics cooling system ( 10 ) is achieved by controlling circulation of a cooling medium in a closed system ( 40 ) containing an evaporator ( 13 ), a condenser ( 14 ), an ejector ( 11 ) and control valves ( 15-18 ). Specifically, the system is continuously allowed to operate in the most appropriate mode by controlling the valves ( 15-18 ) of the system ( 10 ) based on detected heat load and/or detected heat transfer conditions. By automatically adapting the mode of operation of the system based on the actual prevailing conditions, a unique flexibility is obtained with regard to the cooling mode in which the system will be operated. This means that the cooling capacity will be constantly optimized and that the investment cost as well as the cost for operating the system will be reduced compared to known systems having equal maximum cooling capacity.
