The present invention is directed to fluorescent rhodamine dyes having spectral properties suited to the creation of multiplex assay systems for use in molecular biology, cell biology and molecular genetics. The rhodamine dyes have the following structure.

Modified rhodamine dye and use thereof in biological assays

Disclosed is a probe for use in biological assays. The probe includes a fluorescent dye bound to a quencher compound through an oligonucleotide linker. Also disclosed are methods of using the probe, such as for a polymerase chain reaction (PCR), such as in a quantitative PCR reaction (qPCR), as well as kits including the probe.

Quencher and reporter dye combinations

Method and compositions and kits for isolation, identification, and quantification of miRNAs and other small RNAs, including but not limited to, siRNAs, mRNAs, and snRNAs are disclosed. Methods of diagnosing a disease or its progression are also disclosed.

Methods for isolation, identification, and quantification of miRNAs

The present disclosure is directed dye compounds containing a hydrazinyl substituent and optionally, one or more negatively charged groups, such as sulfonate, phosphate, phosphonate, and/or carboxylate groups and dye compounds containing an aminooxy substitutent. The compounds are useful in the detection of analytes containing aldehyde and ketone groups, including, for example, glycans.

Hydrazinyl and aminooxy compounds and their methods of use

A method is provided for conducting electrolysis at or below 1.23 V. The method comprises filling an electrolysis reactor having an aluminum anode and a copper cathode with a sufficient amount of solution such that at least a portion of the anode and the cathode are immersed in the solution; the solution comprising water, an electrolyte and a catalyst; and applying a voltage across the reactor of less than or equal to 1.23 V. The solution is comprised of water, aluminum sulfate and an ammonium salt. The method allows for total gas to be produced at a rate in excess of the theoretical maximum 1.06 l/min at a current of 93 amps.

Low voltage electrolysis of water

A vehicle truck for supporting a ground contacting device, and an independent-suspension turnable skate vehicle truck which supports a wheel or wheels or a runner or ski, and a boot having in-line wheels or tandem wheels is provided. The independent-suspension turnable skate vehicle truck has one or more deflecting beams attached to a wheel axle hanger and the opposite end attached to a skate vehicle mounting structure. The deflecting beam has at least one horizontal component and/or at least one vertical component. The vertical components resist vertical deflection of the wheel axle hangers to restrict upward and downward movement of the wheels or other ground contacting portions. The horizontal component controls most twisting motions controlling turning of the deflecting beam and wobble of the wheel. The truck and mounting surface are adaptable to permit changes to the number of wheels or ground contacting portions, the position of the wheels, and the thickness of the wheels.

Independent suspension vehicle truck for supporting a ground contacting device

An Automatic Gain Control System for voice codecs used in a digital wireless handset or in any other environment where there is a large amount of background noise. The invention utilizes the processing power available in Digital Signal Processor to adaptively adjust the gain of amplifier and filter in the transmit channel to eliminate audio distortion in a &ldquo;loud talker&rdquo; environment. The gain correction information is transmitted by the DSP to the digital filter and PCM I/O block in the 3 unused bits of the 16 bit PCM data word thus eliminating any additional connections.

Voice codec automatic gain control

A vehicle truck for supporting a ground contacting device, and in particular to a independent-suspension turnable skate vehicle truck which supports a wheel or wheels or a runner or ski, for example a roller skate boot have in-line wheels or tandem wheels is provided. The independent-suspension turnable skate vehicle truck has one or more deflecting beams attached to a wheel axle hanger and the opposite end attached to a skate vehicle mounting structure. The deflecting beam has at least one horizontal component and/or at least one vertical component. The vertical components resist vertical deflection of the wheel axle hangers to restrict upward and downward movement of the wheels or other ground contacting portions. The horizontal component controls most twisting motions controlling turning of the deflecting beam and wobble of the wheel. The truck and mounting surface are adaptable to permit changes to the number of wheels or ground contacting portions, the position of the wheels, and the thickness of the wheels.

There is disclosed an entirely new configuration for a truck for skateboards, roller skates, and the like including a baseplate adapted to be connected to the underside of a skate, an elongate beam made from a flexible material, one end of the beam being connected to the baseplate and the beam extending at an acute angle relative thereto, and an elongate axle or axle hub rigidly connected to the other end of the beam and extending perpendicular thereto. The baseplate, the beam, and the axle or axle hub are a one-piece assembly made from a plastic material. An axle may extend through the hub for receipt of conventional wheels.
