Abstract:
The present invention is directed to systems, devices and methods for identifying biopolymers, such as strands of DNA, as they pass through a constriction such as a carbon nanotube nanopore. More particularly, the invention is directed to such systems, devices and methods in which a newly translocated portion of the biopolymer forms a temporary electrical circuit between the nanotube nanopore and a second electrode, which may also be a nanotube. Further, the invention is directed to such systems, devices and methods in which the constriction is provided with a functionalized unit which, together with a newly translocated portion of the biopolymer, forms a temporary electrical circuit that can be used to characterize that portion of the biopolymer.

The subject disclosure provides a reel and a gooseneck which significantly reduce residual bending of the coiled tubing. The subject disclosure discloses a gooseneck that provides reverse bending forces to reduce the residual bending as a result of the reel. Further, the subject disclosure discloses a gooseneck having an adjustable radius during the coiled tubing operations which optimizes the residual bending process. The subject disclosure also discloses a heating and cooling module. The heating and cooling modules are attached to the gooseneck and are used to reduce fatigue of the coiled tubing and elongate the life cycle of the coiled tubing.
Abstract:
Gene expression is inhibited in a cell by introducing into the cell a lentiviral vector encoding a siRNA specific for the gene. Lentiviral vectors encoding siRNA specific for a cancer-associated gene inhibited expression of the gene and caused cell death after being introduced into cancer cells. Viral replication in HIV-infected cells was inhibited after introducing a lentiviral vector encoding siRNA specific for HIV genes in into the cells.

Abstract:
A control scheme for a synchronous rectifier converter that avoids disabling the synchronous rectifiers entirely. Rather than disable the synchronous rectifier altogether to stop the flow of reverse current in light-load, startup, or shutdown conditions, the duty cycle of the synchronous rectifier is modified such that forward current is always allowed to flow through the synchronous rectifier, but the synchronous rectifier is turned off before the reverse current flow reaches a pre-determined level. This is accomplished by operating the converter in a partially synchronous mode of operation during light-load, startup, or shutdown conditions. Whether the circuit is in a light-load, startup, or shutdown condition is determined by a circuit characteristic of the converter that is sensed by the controller, such as average output current. The desired changeover point from fully-synchronous mode to the partially synchronous mode is set to a predetermined level of output current for the converter. The predetermined level is set based on the particular power system in which the invention is implemented. For example, this level can be based on the amount of reverse current that would disrupt the bus to which the converter output is connected, or it could be based on the heat created by the reverse current flow in the power converter when heat dissipation is a concern. The control scheme of the present invention effectively limits reverse current flow while also improving efficiency by eliminating the need for discrete diodes, yet retaining the benefits of synchronous rectification throughout the operating range of the converter.
Abstract:
A housing for a power supply rectifier includes an enclosure having front and rear panels, top and bottom walls, and side walls. A bracket is attached to the enclosure and includes a plurality of projections for mating with a plurality of apertures contained in one or more of the walls of the enclosure. The projections are larger than the apertures, such that when pressure is applied to the bracket, the projections are forced into the apertures to form a seal to minimize EMI emissions from the enclosure. The bracket removably mounts a fan to the housing.

A pulse detection circuit, a method of operation and a fan assembly test circuit employing the same. In one embodiment, the pulse detection circuit includes a charge pump that receives an input signal and varies a charge in a charge storage device based on the input signal. The pulse detection circuit further includes a level detector, coupled to the charge pump, that compares a voltage across the charge storage device with first and second reference voltages, and a signaling circuit, coupled to the level detector, that generates an output signal based on the comparison and indicating an existence of the pulse. The pulse detection circuit may be a part of a fan assembly test circuit adapted to receive an input signal from a cooling fan under test.
