Patent CA-2373044-A1 (CA)
Title: Nucleic acid sequencing with simultaneous quantitation
Inventor: YAGER THOMAS D
IPC: C12Q1/6869
Filed: 2000-05-08
Abstract: Simultaneous sequencing and quantitation of a nucleic acid analyte in a samp le using the same reagents for both assays is achieved by processing a sample containing, or suspected of containing the nucleic acid analyte of interest using a single set of reagents through a plurality of thermocycles to obtain  a mixture of labeled polynucleotides which are used for the determination of both sequence information about the target nucleic acid and the amount of target nucleic acid present in the sample. The fragments are separated on th e basis of size, for example by electrophoresis, and the label associated with  the separated fragments is detected. The positions of the separated nucleic acid fragments are evaluated to obtain information about the sequence of the  target nucleic acid analyte, and the intensity of a signal derived from the label associated with one or more of the separated fragments is evaluated to  determine the quantity of the target nucleic acid analyte in the sample. Onl y one label is needed for both sequencing and quantitation, although two or mo re labels may be used if bidirectional sequencing is concurrently performed.</S DOAB>

Title: Appliance windows coated with thermochromic polymer dispersed liquid crystal
Inventor: GENTILE MICHAEL
IPC: F24C15/04
Filed: 2000-05-18
Abstract: An appliance window coated with a thermochromic, polymer-dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC) material allows users of appliances containing such window to view the inside chamber of the appliance without opening the appliance door.  The thermochromic material on the coated window also does not detract from the overall appearance of the appliance and is composed of phase-separated droplets of liquid crystal in a light-transmissive resin matrix. The liquid crystal has an optical index of refraction in the isotropic phase that is similar to the refractive index of the resin and an index of refraction in the liquid crystalline phase that is mismatched with the refractive index of the resin. The thermochromic coating is activated by the thermal energy released by the appliance during operation. The thermal energy raises the temperature of the coating to a sufficient value so as to cause the coating to switch from an opaque state to a clear state. When the temperature is reduced below a critical value, the coating switches back to the opaque state.

Title: A flexible piston rod
Inventor: KLITMOSE LARS PETER
IPC: A61M5/145
Filed: 2001-03-16
Abstract: A flexible piston rod for an injection device, which piston has the form of a helical spring made up from a number of narrowly adjacent turns of windings.  These turns provide an external thread, which thread fits into the internal thread of a nut element. When the nut element is rotated the piston rod is advanced forward, which movement is used to displace a piston inside a cartridge containing a fluid to be expelled. In order to prevent the piston rod from rotating when the nut element is rotated, the helical spring making up the piston rod is provided with a longitudinal spine, which is located at a peripheral area of the helical spring. The spine can either be a mechanical removal of a part of the out-turned area of each winding, or it can be a reduction or removal of an initial tension in a longitudinal area of the helical spring.
