  • Publication number: 20050237567
    Abstract: A system is described in which central images are stored at a central server and local images, corresponding to the central images, are stored at one or more local terminals. A local image can be modified to generate a modified local image and modification data describing the modifications made sent to the central server so that the central server can create a modified central image that corresponds to the modified local image without requiring the image as modified to be transmitted from the local terminal to the central server. Similarly, modifications can be made to a central image and modification data describing the modifications made sent to a local terminal so that the local terminal can create a modified local image corresponding to the modified central image without requiring the modified central image to be sent from the central server to the local terminal.

  • Patent number: 6309839
    Abstract: The gp4l and Dda helicases were found to significantly enhance the dissociation rate of streptavidin from biotin-labeled oligonucleotides in an ATP dependent reaction, demonstrating that these enzymes are capable of imparting a significant force on a molecule blocking their path. The present invention describes an assay for studying enzymatic activity of a helicase using the rate of dissociation of streptavidin from biotinylated oligonucleotides.
