  • Keyboard contoured to the natural shape of the hand
    Patent number: 7182533
    Abstract: This invention provides novel keyboards comprising keys disposed such that they minimize the distance a finger typically must travel to effect a keystroke and the force that is applied to effect a keystroke. Accordingly the keyboards require less arm and finger movement to and thereby reduce the likelihood of an operator developing a repetitive stress injury (RSI). In one embodiment the keyboards comprise a plurality of keys disposed such that the alphanumeric keys form a continuous key array defining a key array surface having at least two concave regions wherein a plurality of keys present irregular and/or non-rectilinear striking faces.

  • 2-Azapurine compounds and their use
    Patent number: 7169553
    Abstract: Within oligonucleotides 2-azapurine and especially 2-azaadenine bases form specifically base pairs with guanine. This base pair is of analogous stability as an adenine-thymine but less stable than a guanine-cytosine base pair. Therefore, the incorporation of 2-azaadenine residues into oligonucleotides instead of cytosine leads specifically to hybridization complexes with nucleic acids with homogenous stability. This is useful for the adaptation of the stabilities of different oligonucleotide sequences in all kinds of hybridization techniques, for example in oligomer chip technology.
