The present invention is related to the fields of genetic mapping and genetic identity detection, including forensic identification and paternity testing. This invention is more specifically directed to the use of mass spectrometry to detect length variation in DNA nucleotide sequence repeats (including variants of common alleles), such as microsatellites and short tandem repeats, and to DNA sequences provided as primers for the analysis of DNA tandem nucleotide repeat polymorphisms at specific loci on specific chromosomes.

A coil support arrangement for use in connection with a dynamoelectric machine equipped with a stator having top and bottom winding coil end portions arranged in phase groups and extending outwardly from the stator at each end thereof. The support arrangement consists of a support ring encircling the bottom winding coil end portions, blocking means providing lateral support for the coil end portions to restrain vibrational movement of the latter during machine operation and a series of bands for holding the coil end portions of the phase group, the related blocking means and the support ring together, with the blocking means disposed in axial alignment with the ring to thereby present a single blocked and banded, elongated phase group structure which extends circumferentially around the inside of the ring. The blocking means consists of a plurality of individual block elements which extend the full radial depth of the phase group structure to provide deep beam strength characteristics to the structure. The block elements are generally trapezoidal in shape to facilitate wedging of the same between adjacent coil end portions during assembly. A wedging mechanism is provided between adjacent phase group structures for applying circumferentially directed tightening forces to the overall arrangement.

A structure for consolidating large turbine generator end turns while providing for thermal compensation includes a decoupled brace that is located radially outside the end turns and has a bottom piece secured to a bracket secured to the core as well as a top piece adjacent the coil and an intermediate decoupler between the two that includes elastomeric material for cushioning as well as a slip layer for allowing free axial movement between the top and bottom pieces of the brace. Additionally, keyed strain blocks may be utilized between top and bottom coils of the assembly for greater consolidation.

Three-dimensional laminates having improved ductility and resistance to cracking at low temperatures are produced by subjecting the formed laminates to high energy ionizing radiation to preferentially promote crosslinking in at least one layer of the laminate which layer per se has poor low temperature properties. In the preferred form a laminate useful in producing spray reducing rain flaps for vehicle tires is provided by irradiating a fusion bonded laminate comprising a three-dimensional grasslike layer of high melt index, low density polyethylene and a high density polyethylene substrate at an average dose of at least about 10 and preferably about 30 megarads. The resulting rain flap remains ductile at temperatures down to at least about minus 20.degree. F. (minus 29.degree. C.) and preferably minus 40.degree. F. (minus 40.degree. C.).

A polyester resin composition having improved neutron shielding properties can be made by mixing a condensation product of maleic anhydride, phthalic anhydride and polyethylene glycol dissolved in styrene, with at least a sufficient amount of pelleted polyethylene to substantially increase the neutron shielding properties of said condensation product, and a sufficient amount of curing agent such as benzoyl peroxide and N,N-dimethylaniline to promote the curing of the mixture to a solid product. The polyethylene having a relatively high hydrogen content reduces the energy of the neutrons. A powdered boron compound such as boric acid and/or a lithium compound can be incorporated in the composition in amounts at least sufficient to effect substantial thermal neutron capture. Cadmium can be incorporated into the composition being much more efficient at neutron capture than boron or lithium, but then provision must be made for stopping the capture gamma rays generated.

Methods, apparatuses, and computer program products are provided for facilitating financing of a product transaction. A method may include determining a maximum available back-end product for the product transaction as a function of one or more of a target payment limit or a total advance limit. The method may also include determining a maximum available back-end spread for the product transaction as a function of the target payment limit. The method may further include presenting the maximum available back-end product and the maximum available back-end spread. Corresponding apparatuses and computer program products are also provided.

A system and method for packaging devices having one or more coils of delicate tubing utilizing a peel-pouch package with a backing surface and a transparent cover sealingly adhered to form an envelope wherein the device and the coils of tubing are packaged. The packaging system provides for a single releasable interconnecting coil restraint that effectively binds the coils of tubing together such that any one particular coil is restrained from moving. The restraint has an end tab facilitating the release of the restraint such that the packaged coils can be quickly and easily removed and placed into use. The restrained coils of tubing are placed within a lining sheath prior to being placed within the envelope through the envelope opening in order to further protect the packaged system by rendering the envelope puncture resistant. A heat stake is applied to the packaged envelope at an opposite end from the envelope opening to effectively reduce the volume within the envelope so as to limit the movement of the contents therein. With such a packaging system and method, the individual tubes of the coils do not bend or kink and the coils remains free from tangling and intertwining during the rough treatment normally incident to worldwide shipping and handling.

An improved transformer assembly includes a core windings about the core, and a mechanism attached to opposing ends of the core for slideably mounting the assembly to interior edges of a printed circuit board (pcb) which define a recess in the pcb. A further mechanism permits making direct electrical connection between conductors on the printed circuit board and the transformer windings. No additional fasteners or additional soldering is required. This transformer assembly is especially suited for utilization in a modem in order to reduce the thickness of its housing.

An apparatus and method for feeding a throughbolt through a bore in a dynamoelectric machine while initially feeding the same towards the end of the bore along a line forming an acute angle with the axis of the bore. The apparatus has a pair of opposed rotatable wheels and a support plate therefore, at least one guide roller spaced from one end of the support plate, and at least one guide roller spaced from the other end of the support plate. A carriage aligns the wheels and the rollers in two spaced parallel planes through which a through-bolt will pass and a reciprocable member on the carriage effects relative movement between the pair of spaced rotatable wheels and the first and second guide rollers, in a direction transverse the parallel planes such that the through-bolt is deflected from the acute angle at which it is being fed and coaxially aligned with the axis of the bore and adapted to be fed therethrough.
摘要:
An improvement of addition polyimides wherein an essentially solventless, high viscosity laminating resin is synthesized from low-cost liquid monomers. The improved process takes advantage of a reactive, liquid plasticizer such as monoethylphthalate (MEP) which is used in lieu of an alcohol solvent, and helps solve a major problem of maintaining good prepreg tack and drape, or the ability of the prepreg to adhere to adjacent plies and conform to a desired shape during the layup process. This improvement results in both longer life of the polymer prepreg and the processing of low-void laminates and appears to be applicable to all addition polyimide systems.
