METHOD FOR INDICATING THE PROGRESS OF AMPLIFICATION OF NUCLEIC ACIDS AND KIT FOR PERFORMING THE SAME
Publication number: 20220098641Abstract: It is disclosed a method for the detection of an amplification of nucleic acids in which substantially use is made of the fact that a pre-defined nucleic acid chain (target sequence) can be multiplied/amplified in the presence of a target sequence-specific activator oligonucleotide. The target sequence-specific activator oligonucleotide causes the separation of re-synthesized complementary primer extension products by means of strand displacement, so that a new primer oligonucleotide can attach to the respective template strand. The thus formed complex of a primer oligonucleotide and a template strand can initiate a new primer extension reaction. The thus formed primer extension products in turn function as templates, so that an exponential amplification reaction results. Amplification is detected by a detection system.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 22, 2021Publication date: March 31, 2022Inventors: Christian Grunwald, Dmitry Cherkasov, Norbert Basler, Claus Becker, Hans-Joerg Hess, Andreas Mueller-Hermann -

Publication number: 20210189479Abstract: A method is disclosed for detecting an amplification of nucleic acids in which use is essentially made of the fact that a predefined nucleic acid chain (target sequence) can be multiplied/amplified in the presence of a target-sequence-specific activator oligonucleotide. The target-sequence-specific activator oligonucleotide brings about the separation of de-novo synthesized complementary primer elongation products by means of strand displacement, so that a new primer oligonucleotide can attach to the respective strand of the template. The complex thus formed, of a primer oligonucleotide and a template strand, can initiate a new primer elongation reaction. The primer elongation products thus formed, in turn, act again as templates, the result being an exponentially proceeding amplification reaction. In the method, a selective amplification is effected in that, for the first, second primer and activator oligonucleotide, variants are used which differ from the target sequence by at least one nucleotide.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 25, 2019Publication date: June 24, 2021Inventors: Christian Grunwald, Dmitry Cherkasov, Norbert BASLER, Claus BECKER, Hans-Joerg HESS, Andreas MUELLER-HERMANN

Patent number: 9994894Abstract: The invention relates to a novel method for the enzymatic marking of nucleic acid chains (target sequences) by means of nucleotide conjugates. Said nucleotide conjugates are able, under reaction conditions, to specifically bind to the target sequence and integrate into the complementary growing strand by means of a polymerase. The nucleic acid chains marked by such conjugates can be bound to the solid phase. The marking can be carried out parallel to the enzymatic amplification of target sequences.Type: GrantFiled: April 26, 2012Date of Patent: June 12, 2018Assignee: AGCT GMBHInventors: Dmitry Cherkasov, Claus Becker, Norbert Basler, Andreas Muller-Hermann, Petra Van Husen

Patent number: 6131284Abstract: A motor vehicle is produced by joining two semifinished, preassembled bodies, a front structure and a rear structure. Each of these structures are preassembled with associated automobile components. That is, the front structure is assembled with engine, transmission (for a front engine mounted car), and related components, instrument panel, steering wheel, etc. The front structure is also semifinished in a standard color. The rear structure has preassembled decorative components, such as seats, carpeting, covering, etc. The rear structure has the final finish (in the desired final color). The windshield frame can be part of either the front or the rear structure. The roof is part of the rear structure. The front and the rear structure are joined together near the middle of the vehicle body. Existing assembly tools can be used to join the front and rear structures. After the front and rear structures are joined, the front structure is finished with the final color, matching that of the rear structure.Type: GrantFiled: April 25, 1997Date of Patent: October 17, 2000Inventor: Norbert Basler

Patent number: 5880848Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the optical testing of a surface of an object, particularly a compact disc, in which the surface is illuminated by at least one light source and the light reflected and/or scattered by the surface is projected onto at least one substantially flat, light-sensitive element of a light-sensitive receiver. The receiver consists of several pixels in the form of a grid in the line direction and the space direction. In a test phase at least one actual image is generated that is compared with at least one desired image which was produced in a read-in phase. To produce an image of the surface with more information the invention provides that during the read-in phase and/or the test phase at least two images of the surface are taken and the image of the surface which is projected on the light-sensitive element is displaced by at least a fraction of the dimension of a pixel in each case in at least one direction with respect to the light-sensitive element.Type: GrantFiled: March 22, 1996Date of Patent: March 9, 1999Assignee: Basler gmbHInventors: Norbert Basler, Jorg Fiedler, deceased, Bryan Hayes, Frank Herrmann

Patent number: 5760907Abstract: A process and device for the optical testing of a surface in which the surface can be illuminated substantially from above by at least one upper light and from the side by at least one lower light, at a sharp angle with respect to the surface. The light reflected and/or scattered by the surface is recorded in a test period by at least one light-sensitive receiver and at least one actual image which is compared with at least one desired image is produced. To permit an improved test provision is made for the surface to be recorded by the light-sensitive receiver at least twice during the test period. During the recording periods in question the surface is illuminated by an at least intermittent illumination from above and/or from the side in a different manner in order to obtain at least two actual images with different illumination of the surface.Type: GrantFiled: March 22, 1996Date of Patent: June 2, 1998Assignee: Basler GmbHInventors: Norbert Basler, Jorg Fiedler, Bryan Hayes, Frank Hermann

Patent number: 5648850Abstract: The invention pertains to a method and a device for carrying out the quality control of an object (10) that comprises at least one transparent layer (18). According to this method and this device, at least one light beam (41) of a light source (42) is projected onto the object (10) at an angle (.alpha.) and is received by at least one photosensitive receiver (53). According to the invention, it is proposed that the light beam that emerges from the object be split before it is projected onto the first photosensitive receiver (53), with part of the light beam being deflected in the direction toward a second photosensitive receiver (62). This measure makes it possible to expose simultaneously two different photosensitive receivers (53, 62) so as to display different defects of an object (10).Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 1995Date of Patent: July 15, 1997Assignee: Basler GmbHInventors: Norbert Basler, Jurgen Klicker, Dietmar Ley

Patent number: 5538054Abstract: Rotary beverage receptacle-filling apparatus for transparent receptacles has a plurality of receptacle sites spaced apart at its periphery with filling components with electrically driven controls controlling the flow of beverage. Stationary video cameras next to the apparatus measure the filling level in the receptacles near a level limit and to produce closing signals to the flow controls of those receptacle sites at which a receptacle reaches a limit level leading to the desired nominal level, if necessary taking into account any post-flow. One video camera covering several receptacle sites is provided as the measuring device and is connected to an image analyzer driving all controls.Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 1994Date of Patent: July 23, 1996Assignee: APV Ortmann & Herbst GmbHInventors: Peter L uhmann, Carus von Karstedt, Norbert Basler, Wilfried Kolbe
