US Patent:

6963805, Nov 8, 2005

Filed:

Oct 5, 2001

Appl. No.:

09/972595

Inventors:

Kelly A. Frazer - San Mateo CA, US
Nila Patil - Woodside CA, US
John Sheehan - Mountain View CA, US

Assignee:

Perlegen Sciences, Inc. - Mountain View CA

International Classification:

G01N033/48
G01N033/50
G06F019/00

US Classification:

702 20, 702 19, 435 6

Abstract:

The present invention provides methods for determining sequence similarity (conserved sequences) between nucleic acids from a first organism and nucleic acids from a second, different organism without having to know a priori the nucleic acid sequence from the second, different organism. The first nucleic acid can be from any organism where the sequence of the nucleic acid is known and the second nucleic acid can be from any organism. The method involves determining which bases from the second nucleic acid are identical to the first nucleic acid, and allows one to determine the sequence of portions of the second nucleic acid. The invention is useful for identifying putative functional regions or putative organism-sequences in a genome.

Filed:

Jun 11, 1981

Appl. No.:

6/272645

Inventors:

Laurence M. Sheehan - Cerritos CA
John C. Sheehan - Gardena CA

International Classification:

F25D 308

US Classification:

62371

Abstract:

A portable cooler for use in transporting medicines or the like which must be kept at lower than room temperature includes an insulative housing containing a coolant compartment and a medicine compartment, each having its own lid, and heat sinks in the compartments thermally connected by a heat tube. Water ice, dry ice, or a chilled gel may be utilized as the coolant. The whole assembly is enclosed in a carrying case about the size and weight of a carrying case for binoculars or a camera.

Inventors:

John P. Sheehan - Covina CA

Assignee:

Niemin Porter & Co. - Northridge CA

International Classification:

B22C 702

US Classification:

164235

Abstract:

A wax pattern for use in connection with investment casting of a metal wood golf club head, in which the golf club head is a positive duplicate of the wax pattern. The wax pattern includes a body having a hollow interior accessible through an orifice and a weld rim surrounding the orifice with gate forming means that include at least one gate disposed on the weld rim.

Assignee:

Niemin Porter & Co., Inc. - Northridge CA

International Classification:

B22C 702

US Classification:

164412

Abstract:

Tooling for injection molding a wax pattern in connection with investment casting of a metal wood golf club head, in which the golf club head is a positive duplicate of the wax pattern and has a body having an exterior, a hollow interior accessible through an orifice, a weld rim surrounding the orifice, and at least one gate disposed on the weld rim. The tooling includes collapsible core means having a shape complementary to the interior of the golf club head and the wax pattern. The collapsible core means may be disassembled and removed from a wax pattern formed around the core means. The tooling also includes a tooling body that defines a sealable wax pattern cavity that is complementary to the exterior of the golf club head and includes passage means to allow injection of molten wax into the cavity. The tooling further includes gate forming means that include gating cavities disposed at those portions of the wax pattern cavity that are complementary to the gate or gates disposed on the weld rim of the golf club head.

International Classification:

G05D 1/04
B64B 1/40

Abstract:

A payload delivery and recovery system, having a payload including a data collection device arranged to collect data, and a controllable ascent vehicle comprising a controllable lighter than air (LTA) mechanism detachably coupled to the payload and used during an ascent phase to deliver the payload to a pre-determined altitude. The payload delivery and recovery system also having a controllable descent mechanism releasably attached to the controllable ascent vehicle and that can be used during a descent phase for reducing a rate of descent of the payload subsequent to release of the payload at the pre-determined altitude and including a control system for navigating the payload to a desired ground location during a recovery phase.

International Classification:

G06F 9/44

US Classification:

717100

Abstract:

A system and method for providing an application programming interface (API) service platform that includes configuring an API interaction sequence with a set of template requests and template variables; initializing execution of the API interaction sequence; and processing the API interaction sequence comprising, for each selected template request from a subset of the set of template requests: resolving a selected template request into a resolved request, comprising modifying fields of the template request with a template variable of the set of template variables; transmitting the resolved request; receiving a response to the resolved request; and setting at least one template variable based in part on the response.
