  • Publication number: 20060160116
    Abstract: A method of creating a repetitive sequence-free DNA library comprising the steps of providing a DNA library, providing an amplification mixture from the DNA library, and adding a repetitive sequence fraction DNA to the amplification mixture to produce the repetitive sequence-free DNA library. The invention also provides a method of creating a whole chromosome painting probe comprising the steps of providing a DNA library, providing an amplification mixture from the DNA library, adding a repetitive sequence fraction DNA to the amplification mixture to produce the repetitive sequence-free DNA library, and labeling the repetitive sequence-free DNA library to produce the whole chromosome painting probe.

  • Patent number: 6904835
    Abstract: Disclosed is a coupler that grips the internal surface of a torque receptor such as a pipe or driveshaft to be turned. When torque is applied to the coupler, one or more gripping surfaces are forced apart by a cam mechanism. The gripping surfaces tightly engage the internal surface of the pipe in response to movement of an internal cam. Torque applied to the wrench causes the pipe to turn. Because the wrench grips the internal diameter of a torque receptor, it can be used without damaging the external surface of the torque receptor, and used in very confined spaces. The gripping surfaces distribute the gripping load evenly across the pipe, which minimizes any deformation of the pipe.

The gripping surfaces distribute the gripping load evenly across the pipe, which minimizes any deformation of the pipe. The pipe is engaged by the gripping surfaces beyond the threaded portion of the pipe, where the pipe has more structure, to prevent ovaling.
