Abstract: This disclosure provides a method comprising: a) clamping the top and bottom strands of a double stranded DNA molecule to produce a duplex in which the top and bottom strands are linked; b) denaturing the duplex to produce a denatured product; and c) renaturing the denatured product in the presence of a labeled oligonucleotide that is complementary to a sequence of nucleotides in the double stranded DNA molecule, thereby producing a D-loop-containing product. Kits for performing the method and products made by the method are also provided.

Abstract: An improved process of treating sludge to provide a stable product for use as a beneficial soil or fertilizer for agricultural lands which includes the steps (a) mixing the sludge with at least a first alkaline material and a second alkaline material in an amount sufficient to (i) raise the solids content of the mixed material to at least 50% W/W; (ii) raise the pH to at least 12; and (iii) raise the temperature to at least 70° C. by exothermic reaction of the alkaline materials with the water in the sludge; and (b) pasteurizing the mixed material at (i) at least 70° C. for at least 30 mins. and at least pH12 for at least 2 hrs.; and (ii) at least pH 11.5 for an additional 22 hrs., to provide the stable pasteurized product. The process and apparatus is readily adapted for mobility on suitable transportation.

Abstract: An insole rib comprising a rib and a fabric. The rib has serrations along an upper edge thereof. A material surrounds a portion of the rib such that the upper serrated edge of the rib is exposed.

Abstract: A fixed pane window assembly is formed in a multicavity encapsulation method. Discrete and independent components are disposed in separate mold cavities. The mold cavities are filled and connected in sequence to form an intermediate body and subsequently an integral fixed pane window assembly incorporating a header trim strip, a division bar, and an incorporated fixed glass pane for cooperatively engaging a moveable window.

Abstract: A skylight construction having a wooden base frame extending about a roof opening and secured thereto. The skylight construction is illustrated as a step flash skylight including a rigid plastic curb frame having a base frame and overlying sash frame. A retainer is provided for supporting glazing plates over the sash frame. The PVC base frame is firmly secured to the wooden base frame by interlocking therewith. The PVC base frame has a peripherally disposed counterflashing piece extending downwardly therefrom and having flashing seal means disposed intermediate the counterflashing piece and the wooden base frame.

The skylight construction is illustrated as a step flash skylight including a rigid plastic curb frame having a base frame and overlying sash frame. A retainer is provided for supporting glazing plates over the sash frame. The PVC base frame is firmly secured to the wooden base frame by interlocking with the wooden base frame. Hinge members interconnect a base frame and sash frame of the rigid curb frame providing water tight sealing between the hinge members.

Abstract: A technique for sealing a skylight at its curb frame about an opening in a building and in which the sealing technique is a dry sealing technique. In accordance with the invention, means are provided for directly securing the curb frame to the building. A flexible flashing flange extends from the base of the curb frame and is disposed about the periphery of the curb frame having a plurality of elongated spaced upstanding ribs that form flow diverters extending peripherally about the curb frame. The plurality of elongated spaced upstanding ribs are preferably provided in spaced sets each of a plurality of ribs.

Abstract: A skylight that may have a domed-type or flat-type glazing and which is adapted to fit within the opening of a roof or the like. The skylight includes a peripheral curb frame that may include a base frame and an operating leaf frame. A retainer is used for securing the skylight cover over the curb frame. The curb frame is preferably constructed of a rigid plastic material having high temperature resistant properties. A glazing cushioning member is disposed between the retainer and the curb frame for providing positioning and cushioning regarding the edge of the glazing. The glazing cushioning member also receives a securing bolt and is dimensioned to control the tightening of the retainer against the glazing. A sealing gasket is provided integral with the frame and, in one embodiment, seals between frame sections, and in another embodiment, seals with the skylight glazing.

Abstract: A skylight adapted to fit within the opening of a roof or the like having a peripheral curb frame which is fixed to the roof about the opening. The frame is constructed of a plastic material and includes a retainer for securing the skylight cover over the curb frame. A securing clip is employed for providing positive interlocking with the curb frame.

Abstract: A skylight adapted to fit within the opening of a roof or the like having a peripheral curb frame which is fixed to the roof about the opening. The frame is constructed of a plastic material and includes a retainer for securing the skylight cover over the curb frame. A header gasket is provided between the curb frame and retainer and interlocks respectively therewith.
