  • Publication number: 20240071653
    Abstract: An electrical feed-through apparatus prevents or substantially reduces partial corona discharges in penetrators for high voltage supply for underwater facilities. A flange of a first thickness has an opening providing a passage between first and second oppositely located sides of the flange. An elongated tube of a solid, electrically insulating material has a first length greater than the first thickness, and is positioned in the passage, with first and second parts of the tube protruding from the first and second sides of the flange, respectively. First and second attachment sleeves are positioned on the tube and are attached to the first and second parts of the tube, respectively, at a distance from respective first and second ends of the tube. The sleeves are attached to the respective first and second oppositely located sides of the flange.

  • Publication number: 20210310004
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method of identifying or producing an aptamer, the method comprising the steps of: a) Providing a candidate mixture of nucleic acids; b) Contacting the candidate mixture with a target sample; c) Partitioning nucleic acids that bind to the target sample from those that do not bind; d) Amplifying the binding nucleic acids to produce a population of nucleic acids that bind the target sample; e) Single strand displacement of the amplified nucleic acids, f) optionally repeating the steps a) to e), thereby identifying or producing an aptamer, wherein the target sample provides one or more peptides and/or proteins in a denatured form.
