Abstract: An apparatus and method suitable for use as an electronic remote locating device. The method includes synchronizing an unprogrammed receiver with a transmitter so that the unprogrammed receiver responds only to the transmitter. The transmitter continuously increments a storage element when electrical power is initially applied to the transmitter and halts incrementing of the storage element when a first event is detected. Next, the transmitter saves the value of the storage element in memory as the unique identification code. The transmitter then transmits the identification code for a first predetermined length of time at a preselected frequency. The receiver monitors the preselected frequency searching for a received identification code for a predetermined period of time after electrical power is applied to the receiver. The receiver then verifies the validity of the received identification code and determines whether a prior identification code exists in the memory of the receiver. The receiver saves the received identification code in memory if the prior identification code was not found in the memory and halts the monitoring. The receiver then periodically monitors the preselected frequency range and compares the received identification code to the prior identification code. The receiver issues an indication to the user if the received identification code equals the prior identification code.

Abstract: The invention relates to a traffic sign all parts of which, the sign portion (1), lugs (3, 4), bolts and mounting post (8), are made of HD polyethylene plastic or an equivalent material that withstands corrosion and temperature variations. The curved surfaces of the sign portio n (1) are so pliable that air pressure produced by vehicles will press them inwards, which makes dirt or snow come off them as they revert to their normal position. The actual sign is protected at its edges with a frame. The jacket (2) of the sign portion (1) comprises two identical parts joined to one another and to the mounting post (8) with lugs (3, 4) and bolts (6). A light source can be disposed with in the sign portion (1). The mounting post (8) will be most easily deflected at lightening grooves (9 ).

Title: Sporting field illuminating lighting fixtures having improved light distribution
Inventor: QUINLAN JEFFREY MANSFIELD
IPC: F21S8/00
Filed: 1997-07-31
Granted: 2001-05-01
Abstract: Luminaires intended to deliver maximal light flux to a playing field with improved uniformity, the invention provides primary reflector structures having shaped facets, the several reflectors being capable of maximizing lumen delivery onto the playing field when considered relative to economy of manufacture.  In certain embodiments of the invention, a shielding device or flux manager is employed for producing target extinctions by management of flux to precisely pass flux nearby original arc and through a second bounce off the reflector structure to direct that flux back into the beam.  A virtual arc is thus produced in proximity to the original arc with the virtual arc acting as a second source.  The flux manager acts to reduce glare and "spill" light.  Performance optimization is further provided in embodiments using the flux manager through additional use of a multi-faceted reflector insert which re-aims light which would have been incident on portions of the reflector structure and which light is blocked by the flux manager.  The improved light distribution provided by the luminaires of the invention allow use of fewer luminaires for a given playing field lighting performance.

Title: Nucleic acid detection and amplification by chemical linkage of oligonucleotides
Inventor: SEGEV DAVID
IPC: C07H1/00
Filed: 1996-04-30
Granted: 2007-11-27
Abstract: The invention is directed towards a method of amplifying target nucleic acids by using two oligonucleotide probe complement pairs.  Each member of the probe pair contains a chemical functionality group which permits linkage of the probes when the functionality groups are adjacent to one another following hybridization of the probe pairs to the template. One probe in each pair is composed of two regions, a first region which hybridizes to the target and which contains the chemical functionality group and a second, protecting region which prevents target independent joining as shown in the figure. The other probe in the pair contains the corresponding chemical functionality group. Upon joining of a first probe pair, an amplification can proceed in which the newly joined first probe pair can serve as a template for the second, complementary probe pair, which can in turn serve as a template for unjoined first probe pairs. This cyclic amplification is sensitive enough for a discriminative amplification of sequences which differ by merely a point mutation and therefore is suitable for point mutation detection and genotype determination as well as for the determination of the presence or absence of a specific nucleic acid in a sample.

Abstract: The tubular extrusion of a thermoplastic nonderivatized cellulose solution about a mandrel and through a long air gap in excess of 304 mm is facilitated by use of a mandrel which is extensible from the extrusion die.  On extrusion start-up, the mandrel extends a short length from the die.  For steady-state operation, the mandrel is extended its full length from the die.  Also disclosed is a mandrel structure to facilitate the introduction of a nonsolvent liquid into the interior of the extruded tube at a high location on start-up extrusion and at a lower location  during steady-state operation.  The mandrel also includes a sizing portion having circumferential grooves which gather gas bubbles that may evolve at the interface between the extruded tube and the sizing portion.  Vertical channels in the sizing portion connect these grooves and provide the passage of gas bubbles into a volume below the mandrel.
