In one aspect, a method for generating amounts of selective nucleic acids includes incorporating a selective nucleic acid sequence into a carrier nucleic acid. In general, the carrier nucleic acid may be transcribed by a cell into a product nucleic acid which may carry an incorporated selective nucleic acid sequence. | 04-08-2010 |
20120165225 | FUNCTIONAL BIOMOLECULES AND METHODS - The present invention is generally directed to novel functionalized biomolecules and methods for generating such biomolecules. Biomolecules may generally include nucleic acids, peptides, multicomponent molecular complexes and/or any other molecular products that may be produced by living organisms. The present invention is further directed to cells and/or organisms manipulated to produce such functionalized biomolecules. The cells contemplated by the present invention include both prokaryotic as well as eukaryotic cells. The functionalized biomolecules are produced via materials introduced into the cell using standard molecular biology techniques or are incorporated within the genomic nucleic acid of a cell by standard recombination techniques. Further contemplated is the use of such cells for sequestration of target molecules within the cells. | 06-28-2012 |

20140182697 | ADJUSTABLE SUPERSONIC AIR INLET - The invention relates to aeronautical engineering and, more specifically, to air intakes for supersonic aircraft propulsion systems. The technical result to be achieved by the invention consists in ensuring stable operation of the engine in all flight regimes up to the maximum Mach number of M=3.0 by adjusting the apex angle of stages of one of swept wedges and minimum area of the flow passage of the air intake. An adjustable supersonic air intake comprises an entrance in the form of a flow deceleration system—a supersonic diffuser ( | 07-03-2014 |
