This invention relates to oligonucleotides comprising a molecular switch which may exist in an “open” or “closed” position. The molecular switch portion of the probe is particularly sensitive to the identity of sequences complementary to the molecular switch. Oligonucleotides containing a molecular switch are applicable to all kinds of hybridization processes. Due to the sensitivity of the switch domain of the oligonucleotide, probes containing a molecular switch are particularly useful in the identification of single point mismatches. More specifically, a portion, but not all, of the oligonucleotide becomes unbound from a mismatched target. The invention further relates to methods of using said oligonucleotides for research reagents, and clinical diagnostics. An exemplary oligonucleotide comprises a first hybridizable domain, a second bridging block domain, and a third binding domain.

An insulating beverage or food container or sleeve is produced with a foam layer disposed on an inner surface of a paper stock. A polymer shrink film layer is arranged in a position along an inside surface of the beverage container. The foam layer is sandwiched between the polymer shrink film layer and the paper stock and decreases the energy transfer between the beverage and the user's hands allowing the user to hold onto the container for an extended period of time without causing user discomfort or pain. The polymer shrink film layer is produced from a shrink film polymer having a percent shrink in the range of 30% or less, and more particularly a percent shrink range of 5 to 10%.

An insulating beverage cup or sleeve is produced with a foam layer disposed on an inner surface of a food or beverage paper stock. A polyethylene film layer is arranged in a position between a paper stock layer and an inside surface of the beverage container. The foam layer decreases the energy transfer between the beverage and the user's hands allowing the user to hold onto the cup for an extended period of time without causing user discomfort or pain, e.g. greatly extends the hold time of the paper cup. The exterior surface of the beverage cup remains highly printable and predisposed to high quality graphics both before and after cup manufacture.

Method and devices for electrosurgery by means of oxy-hydro combustion. Deleterious effects to tissue are minimized by means of control of acid-base shift reactions, which reactions can further be employed to control oxy-hydro combustion reactions. In one embodiment, radiofrequency energy in electrical connection with electrodes is employed to induce electrolysis in an aqueous salt environment, thereby producing oxygen and hydrogen, with the same energy source employed to initiate a combustion reaction.

A vehicle hull has a longitudinal blast mitigation duct formed between left and right hull portions. The duct includes a first section oriented at a first angle to a longitudinal reference line, and a second section adjacent to the first section and oriented at a second angle to the reference line. The second angle is greater than the first angle to form a diverging surface for a shock wave travelling from the first to the second section. The blast mitigation duct further comprises a second, rearward-oriented diverging surface for a shock wave travelling rearward along the hull. A rib projects generally perpendicular from a joint between the first and second sections and is configured to initiate separation of the shock wave from the hull, thereby reducing the amount of energy transferred to the hull.

The invention discloses a video SoftCast method based on residual distributed compressed sensing, and belongs to the technical fields of video encoding-decoding and wireless transmission. The method comprises the steps of encoding at a transmitting end, channel transmission and decoding at a receiving end. At the transmitting end, a video sequence is read and blocked, and video blocks are observed in order to obtain observed values of frames; in an image group, the observed values of reference frames are subtracted from the observed values of non-reference frames respectively in order to obtain residual observed values; the residual observed values and the observed values of the reference frames are averagely allocated to a plurality of data packets; and meanwhile, energy allocation is performed on the observed value in the packets, so that energy distortions are minimized.

A track for a tracked vehicle has a front idler wheel carried on a frame and a front double roller member carried on the frame construction rearward of the front idler wheel. The front idler wheel and the roller member are independently pivotally mounted on the frame by pivotal levers for upward and downward suspension movement in response to change in ground level. An actuating lever extends rearwardly from the front idler wheel over the pivotal lever of the double roller and a gas bag spring is located between the actuating lever and the double roller to absorb some upward movement of the front idler wheel so as to avoid transfer of a proportional downward movement to the roller member.

The putter disclosed herein has an aiming mark at an oblique angle that compensates for a player's misalignment of the putter with the aimline or for putter twisting during the stroke. The face has friction and energy transfer characteristics that correct for errors in club face orientation or for directional errors in stroking the putter. The putter can be configured with a weight distribution that causes the compensations to vary with stroking force. The aiming mark, the face characteristics and the weight distribution compensations may be combined in different proportions depending on a player's stroking errors.

An implant system is described to decrease the risk of hip fracture in humans determined to be at increased risk for hip fracture, over a time span well over several years after implantation. This implant increases the size of the contact area on the proximal femur at the time of a fall, decreasing contact pressures and contact stresses. The implant may be able to absorb energy on impact or cause an increase of energy absorption by the soft tissues, thus decreasing the energy transfer to the proximal femur at the time of a fall. The implant may also strengthen the proximal femur, while minimizing stress shielding of the surrounding bone. In addition, it minimizes the risk of displacement should fracture occur, thus minimizing the risk of formal fracture surgery. The method of application minimizes risks associated with initial application of the implant.
