20140025312 | HIERARCHICAL GENOME ASSEMBLY METHOD USING SINGLE LONG INSERT LIBRARY - The present invention is generally directed to a hierarchical genome assembly process for producing high-quality de novo genome assemblies. The method utilizes a single, long-insert, shotgun DNA library in conjunction with Single Molecule, Real-Time (SMRT®) DNA sequencing, and obviates the need for additional sample preparation and sequencing data sets required for previously described hybrid assembly strategies. Efficient de novo assembly from genomic DNA to a finished genome sequence is demonstrated for several microorganisms using as little as three SMRT® cells, and for bacterial artificial chromosomes (BACs) using sequencing data from just one SMRT® Cell. Part of this new assembly workflow is a new consensus algorithm which takes advantage of SMRT® sequencing primary quality values, to produce a highly accurate de novo genome sequence, exceeding 99.999% (QV 50) accuracy. The methods are typically performed on a computer and comprise an algorithm that constructs sequence alignment graphs from pairwise alignment of sequence reads to a common reference. | 01-23-2014 |

20130186711 | Modified Vector Dynamics 2 - Gyroscopic precession is the result of angular velocity of rotation and angular velocity produced by torque which acted upon by vector force of gravity will cause precession. The resulting precessional vector force at right angle to torque is currently well understood, though not understood how this precession vector can be modified by right angle to produce the same force as a directed vector force; how angular momentum could be made directional. Inventor shows in principle how this Earth gravity G-force is re-directed using gyroscopic action housed within a larger apparatus, when whole apparatus is spun in either direction, whereby the angular momentum is transferred along the axis of spin. The result is a directional force caused by acceleration of spin of whole apparatus, which may be a usable force in future propulsion systems. | 07-25-2013 |

20140306456 | Wind turbine using sails affixed to chains - A sail on a chain wind turbine comprises a plurality of preferably rectangular sails each attached at its edges to a pair of parallel looped chains. The chains are each routed along a triangular path engaging three circular sprockets selected for low friction rotation. The upper extent of the assembly forms the top apices of the chain triangles with two opposing sprockets located at each such apex. The remaining circular sprockets form the base of the triangle with one sprocket located at each end of the base on each side of a frame. The two chains are precisely congruent to one another with respective sprockets being axially aligned. One such pair of aligned sprockets is interconnected by a shaft which rotates from the force of a wind against the sails. A linkage rotates an electrical generator shaft as the sails catch the wind. | 10-16-2014 |
