Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for detection of nucleic acids, amplification of nucleic acids, or both, involving ligation by T4 RNA ligase of DNA strands hybridized to an RNA strand. These techniques are particularly useful for the detection of RNA sequences and for amplification of nucleic acids from, or dependent on, RNA sequences. It has been discovered that T4 RNA ligase can efficiently ligate DNA ends of nucleic acid strands hybridized to an RNA strand. In particular, this ligation is more efficient than the same ligation carried out with T4 DNA ligase. Thus, techniques involving ligation of DNA ends of nucleic acid strands hybridized to RNA can be performed more efficiently by using T4 RNA ligase. Many known ligation-based detection and amplification techniques are improved through the use of T4 RNA ligase acting on DNA strands or ends. Such techniques include ligase chain reaction (LCR), ligation combined with reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT PCR), ligation-mediated polymerase chain reaction (LMPCR), polymerase chain reaction/ligation detection reaction (PCR/LDR), ligation-dependent polymerase chain reaction (LD-PCR), oligonucleotide ligation assay (OLA), ligation-during-amplification (LDA), ligation of padlock probes, open circle probes, and other circularizable probes, and iterative gap ligation (IGL).

Abstract: The invention related to a "flow control element" with suction spout for carbonated beverage cans. The fluid remains under pressure while access is possible when suction is applied to the spout. The spout is attached to a housing enclosure that holds a spring, a centrally perforated membrane, a valve stem and a valve. This housing enclosure extends into the inside of the container, which extended part functions as a guide for the valve stem and that incorporates the valve seat. The valve stem is attached to the perforated membrane on one side and to the valve on the other side. When suction is applied the membrane moves the valve and opens a flow path, thereby allowing fluid to flow through the valve stem and the perforated membrane to the mouth. When the suction stops, a spring closes the valve against the gas pressure in the can or container.

Abstract: The present invention relates to dynamically controlling the expansion of a fluid bed reactor system. By mounting a density detector to a floating body that floats on top of the carrying medium in the fluid bed, one can detect the density at a certain position that is level with the sensor head of the detector. Upon comparing the density detected with a pre-determined density, the flow velocity of the carrying medium is adjusted accordingly.

Abstract: The invention relates to a sealing system for media-carrying parts, especially for use in asepsis, comprising a sealing ring (14), preferably a toroidal sealing ring, which is placed on a sealing seat for the purpose of sealing the parts. Said sealing seat is constituted by a sealing channel (22) that substantially surrounds the sealing ring. The sealing channel (22) is composed of sealing surfaces (21a, 21b) of both parts (12, 13) and defines between said parts and between said sealing surfaces a sealing groove (30) into which the sealing ring (14) is deformed when the parts are axially braced against each other until they come into contact. A separating joint (41) adjoins the sealing channel on a side facing away from the sealing groove (30). The sealing channel (22) has at least one expansion chamber (35, 57a, 57b) that deviates from the undeformed cross-section of the sealing ring. Said expansion chamber (35, 57a, 57b) is arranged substantially opposite the sealing groove (30). The sealing ring (14) is deformed into the expansion chamber (35, 57a, 57b) by outer influences, especially by the bracing force for joining the parts.

Abstract: An in-line roller skate propulsion device comprising a lever and a wheel frame having a top, a bottom, a plurality of wheel axle holes near the bottom, a pivot connection near the top for pivotally connecting the lever to the wheel frame, and a hole and shaft combination for connecting a resilient member. The lever's pivot connection is located forward of the center of the lever. As the lever rotates around its pivotal connection to the wheel frame, the resilient member is stretched. Upon release of the rotating force, the resilient member returns the lever to a point of contact with the wheel frame or a stopping piece attached thereto. This action allows a skater to achieve greater speeds than with regular in-line roller skates while exerting the same amount of energy.

Abstract: A pulse oximetry method and system for improved motion correction is disclosed. The method/system provides for the use of a detector output signal to obtain a different plurality of differential absorption data sets in corresponding relation to each of a succession of measurement, wherein each of the data sets includes differential absorption values for light of a first wavelength and light of a second wavelength. The data sets are processed to obtain a relative motion estimate value for each measurement. When the relative motion estimate value for a given measurement falls within a predetermined range (i.e., corresponding with clinical motion), a corresponding blood analyte indicator value is adjusted in a predetermined manner, wherein the corresponding adjusted blood analyte indicator is employable to obtain at least one blood analyte concentration value. In one embodiment, blood analyte indicator values may be readily multiplied by a predetermined adjustment factor (i.e., when clinical motion is identified). The relative motion estimate value for a given measurement may be obtained by conducting a principal component analysis of the corresponding plurality of data sets relative to a corresponding best fit function therefor to obtain corresponding variance values V1, V2. The variance value V1, and/or V2 for a given current measurement may be employed to obtain a current motion estimate value. The current motion estimate value and the relative motion estimate value obtained for a prior low motion measurement (i.e., for which no adjustment was necessary) may be used to compute the relative motion estimate value for the current measurement. The variance values V1 and/or V2 are also employable to compute an ongoing, updated motion probability factor, wherein such factor may be used to adjust relative motion estimates values in instances of rapid tissue perfusion changes.

Abstract: An improved method and apparatus for indirect evaporative cooling of a fluid stream to substantially its dew point temperature. Plate heat exchanger has perforations 11 and channels 3, 4 and 5 for gas or a low temperature for liquids on a dry side and wet side. Fluid streams 1 flow across the dry side 9, transferring heat to the plate. Gas stream 2 flows across the dry side and through perforations to channels 5 on wet side 10, which it then cools by evaporative cooling as well as conductive and radiative transfer of heat from plate. A wicking material provides wetting of wet side. In other embodiments, a desiccant wheel may be used to dehumidify the gas, air streams may be recirculated, feeder wicks 13 and a pump may be used to bring water from a water reservoir, and fans may be used to either force or induce a draft. The wicking material may be cellulose, organic fibers, organic based fibers, polyester, polypropylene, carbon-based fibers, silicon based fibers, fiberglass, or combinations of them. The device may be operated in winter months to scavenge heat from exhaust gases of a space and thus pre-heat fresh air, while simultaneously humidifying the fresh air.

Determining the degree of methylation of a particular cytosine in a motif 5'-CpG-3', present in a genomic sample of DNA (I), is new. The sample is treated chemically to convert cytosine (C), but not methylated C, to uracil, then part of (I) that contains the target C is amplified to form a labeled amplicon (II). (II) is hybridized to two classes, each with at least one member, of oligonucleotides and/or peptide-nucleic acid (PNA) oligomers (A) and the degree of hybridization to both classes is determined from the label on (II). From the ratio of labels hybridized to the two classes of (A), the degree of methylation is calculated.
