Title: Enhanced capture of target nucleic acid by the use of oligonucleotides covalently attached to polymers
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 1990-11-29
Abstract: This invention relates to methods for detecting polynucleotide sequences using nucleic acid hybridization procedures. In particular, the invention concerns the use of oligonucleotides covalently attached to a polymer to increase the rate and extent of capture of specific target nucleic acid contained in a biological sample. In a preferred method, the target nucleic acid in the sample is exposed to a polynucleotide-capturing polymer having multiple oligonucleotide sequences complementary to sequences on the target. After capture of target polynucleotides, the polymer is immobilized (sequestered) onto a solid support through a ligand/receptor combination.

Title: Self-contained lock wire securing tool
IPC: B25B23/00
Filed: 1991-06-06
Abstract: A device is disclosed for automatically inserting a ferrule (22) over a safety cable (20), tensioning the cable and crimping the ferrule onto the safey cable, and cutting off excess cable. The apparatus is used with a safety cable (20) having a ferrule (22) applied to one end and which is placed through a plurality of threaded fasteners (10, 12, 14) in a pattern.

Title: Improvements in visibility calculations for 3d computer graphics
Inventor: LIM HONG LIP
IPC: G06T15/40
Filed: 1992-06-19
Abstract: Disclosed is a method of reducing the complexity of hidden surface removal in 3D graphic systems. A fuzzy projection (FF) of a surface (SU) as seen from a number of viewpoints (VP) in a bounding box (BB) is stored in a buffer (FA) having elements (FE). A combination of all the patches (PT) of the surface (SU) viewed form a fuzzy region (FR) where surfaces can be either visible, hidden, or unable to be determined with certainty as to whether or not visible/hidden. A non-fuzzy region (NF) describes those patches (PT) that are always visible.

Patent EP-0663862-A4 (EP)
Title: Toolholder assembly and method.
Inventor: LOCKARD THOMAS A
IPC: B23B29/12
Filed: 1993-06-14
Abstract: An improved toolholder assembly and method is provided that comprises an adjustable nozzle for redirecting a liquid coolant stream from a direction generally parallel or slightly oblique with respect to the axis of rotation of a workpiece to a direction that is substantially orthogonal with respect to this axis. The nozzle assembly includes a threaded base on one end and a nozzle head on the other, and the threaded base may be screwed into or out of a threaded opening in the toolholder body which communicates with the original coolant stream opening in order to adjust the nozzle head at both a desired angle in a plane orthogonal with respect to the axis of rotation of the workpiece, as well as at a desired point along this axis. The invention is particularly useful in combination with toolholders having cutting inserts that perform deep grooving, threading, and cut-off operations, as the angular and axial adjustment features of the nozzle assembly allow the nozzle head to project a stream of coolant that is optimally orthogonally positioned with respect to the interface between the cutting insert and the workpiece regardless of the depth of the cut and for a variety of cutting inserts. Such optimal positioning in turn optimizes the ability of the coolant stream to lubricate the cutting interface and to remove heat and metal chips at all times during the cutting operation of the insert.
