  • Nucleic acid detection combining amplification with fragmentation
    Patent number: 11965212
    Abstract: Provided herein are methods and compositions for detection of a nucleic acid target in a sample. The methods and compositions use primer directed amplification in conjunction with nucleic acid fragmentation. The methods have high sensitivity even in the presence of a large amount of non-target nucleic acid. Also provided are oligonucleotides and kits useful in the method. Exemplary nucleic acid targets are those with mutant gene sequence such as mutant sequence of the EGFR, APC, TMPRSS2, ERG and ETV1 genes.

  • Method for synchronizing transaction processing in a distributed heterogeneous system
    Patent number: 5561797
    Abstract: The invention provides transaction synchronization in the form of COMMIT processing in a distributed, heterogeneous database system wherein some resources are synchronized to a transaction by a single-phase commit procedures while other resources synchronize by multi-phase commit procedures. The invention invests an application requestor at an application site with authority to represent all single-phase commit resources in multi-phase commit processing.

  • Query language execution on heterogeneous database servers using a bind-file bridge between application and database languages
    Patent number: 5257366
    Abstract: Application programs which are developed and scheduled within a first computing system environment are permitted to access relational data registered at a remote database management system (DBMS) operating in a second computing environment dissimilar to the first computing environment. Access to data through the DBMS from an application execution site remote from the DBMS is supported by a process, logically subordinate to the application program which maps application program data access requests to the DBMS.
