| 20110119860 | Auxiliary vacuum device for a central vacuum cleaning system - An auxiliary vacuum device for a central vacuum cleaning system is location specific and comprises housing mountable externally on an inlet of a mounting plate of the system, a dedicated flexible concertina hose is provided on the device and a cleaning tool mounting probe is registrable with a docking station. When the probe is removed from the docking station, a lever may be moved in first and second directions to selectively activate and deactivate the motor of the central vacuum cleaning system and the device. When the probe is parked in the docking station the probe moves the lever in one of the directions and holds the lever in a deactivated configuration, thus deactivating the motor and the device and preventing activation thereof. | 05-26-2011 |

| 20120198836 | LIGHT TURBO COMPOUND ENGINE VARIANT - Otto intake-cycle controlled-air (throttled) internal combustion engines suffer from parasitic pumping losses associated with partial vacuums developed in their intake manifolds and in the cylinders above their pistons. To solve this problem, there is provided individually partitioned dry-sump crankcases dynamic pneumatic coupling pressure reduction cycle system and method that reduce the damaging parasitic effects of the differential pressure about a piston head during an intake cycle which is a source of part-load pumping-loss friction. This closed loop system includes an independent supplemental mechanical fail-safe system of a turbo-compound engine variant for pneumatic coupling of individual cylinder-crankcase volumes. It does not alter the cylinder homogeneous mixture charge integrity and stability. The system is applicable to several engine configurations, such as controlled air intake or uncontrolled air intake combustion engines, using different fuel types, either in liquid or in gazeous state. | 08-09-2012 |

| 20100317064 | Covalent joining of DNA strands to RNA strands catalyzed by vaccinia topoisomerase - The present invention provides a method of covalently joining a DNA strand to an RNA strand comprising (a) forming a topoisomerase-DNA intermediate by incubating a DNA cleavage substrate comprising a topoisomerase cleavage site with a topoisomerase specific for that site, wherein the topoisomerase-DNA intermediate has one or more 5′ single-strand tails; and (b) adding to the topoisomerase-DNA intermediate an acceptor RNA strand complementary to the 5′ single-strand tail under conditions permitting a ligation of the covalently bound DNA strand of the topoisomerase-DNA intermediate to the RNA acceptor strand and dissociation of the topoisomerase, thereby covalently joining the DNA strand to the RNA strand. The present invention also provides a method of tagging a 5′ end of an RNA molecule. The present invention further provides a DNA-RNA molecule which has been joined in vitro by the use of a topoisomerase. The present invention also provides a method of tagging a 5′ end of an mRNA. The present invention provides a method of isolating and cloning full-length gene sequences using capped mRNA after subtraction of non-capped RNA. | 12-16-2010 |
