Title: Enzymatic synthesis of oligonucleotides
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 1991-09-23
Abstract: The present invention makes possible the catalytic production of sequence specific oligonucleotides through the use of a specially designed template sequence. The reaction can be made to proceed isothermally in the presence of an excess of nucleoside triphosphates, an agent for polymerization, and a cutting agent. Because the process is catalytic with respect to the template sequence, an unlimited amount of oligonucleotide product can theoretically be generated from a single molecule of template. Where the process is initiated by the presence of a nucleic acid target sequence, the method of the present invention can be used for diagnostic purposes as an amplification method to improve sensitivity. Diagnostic sensitivity can be further enhanced by employing a cascade of these template sequences.

Patent EP-0752303-A4 (EP)
Inventor: ITO SUSUMU
IPC: B29C45/50
Filed: 1996-01-18
Abstract: Une partie avant d'une vis à billes (28) est reliée à une plaque de poussée (14) qui est immobile, en rotation et dans la direction axiale, par rapport à elle. Un écrou sphérique (31) en prise avec cette vis à billes (28) est relié à une plaque arrière (3) par l'intermédiaire d'une jauge de contrainte (33). Il en résulte que, même quand on fait tourner la vis à billes (28) pour obtenir qu'une force dans la direction de la rotation soit appliquée à l'écrou sphérique (31) en raison du frottement qui se produit entre eux, cette force de rotation n'agit pas pour faire tourner la plaque de poussée (14). Par conséquent, l'importance de la résistance au glissement entre la plaque de poussée (14) et les barres de guidage (4) n'est pas liée à celle de la force de rotation de la vis à billes. C'est pourquoi une composante de pression de la résine peut être extraite avec précision du signal de sortie de la jauge de contrainte (33).

Filed: 1996-12-13
Abstract: This invention is a stent graft (2) including a stent member (6) having an inner surface and an outer surface, a generally tubular graft member (4) and a coupling member (8) that couples the stent member (6) to the graft member (4). The coupling member (8), which in the preferred embodiment is in the form of a ribbon, covers only a portion of the inner or outer surface of the stent member (6) and secures the stent member (6) and graft member (4) to one another. Alternatively, the coupling member (8) can be described as interconnecting less than entirely the inner or outer surface of the graft member (4) to the stent member (6). With this construction, regions of the stent member (6) do not interface with the coupling member (8). Shear stresses between the stent member (6) and the coupling member (8) and the risk of tearing the graft (4) or coupling member (8) or delamination therebetween may be reduced as compared to a fully enveloped stent member (6). This construction also provides improved flexibility and kink resistance.
