Publication number: 20170349926Abstract: A method for generating sequence ready fragments of nucleotide sequences is described, the method making use of “bubble primers” which include first and third portions which hybridise to a target, and a second partly self-complementary portion which forms an unhybridised loop. The loop contains generic sequences allowing use of sequencing primers. The first portion may be degradable so as to generate an amplicon of sequence of interest flanked by the third portion and the generic sequences of the second portion. In preferred embodiments, the second portion, or the region between the second portion and the third portion, also comprises a tetrad of nucleotides A, C, G, T, allowing calibration of the sequencing reaction.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 22, 2014Publication date: December 7, 2017Applicant: DNAe Group Holdings LTD.Inventors: Brian James McKeown, Cathal Joseph McElgunn

Patent number: 8419514Abstract: Disclosed is an apparatus for circulating air. The apparatus comprises a hollow handle assembly having a proximal end and a distal end. The apparatus further includes an air circulation assembly pivotally secured to the proximal end of the hollow handle assembly. The air circulation assembly is capable of generating an air-flow. Moreover, the apparatus includes a connecting fixture coupled to the distal end of the hollow handle assembly. The connecting fixture is capable of being received in a receptacle for a lighting appliance and for providing an electrical connection to the apparatus for circulating the air. The air circulation assembly is adapted to have an angular motion in all directions about the hollow handle assembly.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 2008Date of Patent: April 16, 2013Inventor: James McKeown

Patent number: 6091607Abstract: Briefly stated a tag includes a dielectric substrate having first and second opposite principal surfaces. An electrical circuit having an electrically conductive pattern is formed on at least one of the principal surfaces of the dielectric substrate, the conductive pattern including a gap which establishes an electrical open circuit. An electrically conductive composition including electro-conductive particles is provided for bridging the gap in the conductive pattern to temporarily establish an electrical closed circuit which resonates when exposed to electromagnetic energy at a frequency within a predetermined frequency range.Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 1998Date of Patent: July 18, 2000Assignee: Checkpoint Systems, Inc.Inventors: Thomas James McKeown, Stanley Tocker
