  • METHODS OF ISOTHERMAL COMPLEMENTARY DNA AND LIBRARY PREPARATION
    Publication number: 20240150753
    Abstract: Described herein are compositions and methods for preparing double-stranded complementary DNA (cDNA) from RNA. In some embodiments, these methods allow isothermal preparation of cDNA. In some embodiments, these methods allow mesophilic or thermostable preparation of cDNA. Also described herein are compositions and methods for preparing cDNA and a library of double-stranded cDNA fragments in a single reaction vessel.

  • Distributed base station test bus architecture in a wireless network
    Patent number: 8014753
    Abstract: A distributed test architecture of transmitting boundary scan Test Access Port (TAP_signals over a serial channel is disclosed. The architecture facilitates the system testing and remote field update of distributed base stations in a wireless network. The distributed test architecture enables system testing as if the distributed units are on a backplane within the same chassis by creating a plurality of logical connections between the distributed unit and the test bus using a single bit fiber line and a five bit TAP test bus.

  • Dynamic electron emitter
    Patent number: 4739214
    Abstract: A dynamic electron emitter includes a cold cathode in a cathode chamber emitting electrons in a focussed beam at and through a small orifice into a receiving chamber containing an anode and which may be the chamber of an ion gun. The orifice size is critical in that it must be small enough to ensure a higher pressure in the cathode than in the receiving chamber yet large enough to pass therethrough a sufficiently large flux of electrons to accomplish the intended purpose of the electron stream.
