Lasers capable of lasing at at least two wavelengths are provided having a lasing medium which is capable of lasing at a first wavelength and at a second wavelength. Also disclosed are laser workstations having two lasers driven by a single electronics drive system in which a single energy storage network is connected to a first laser pump chamber operative to excite a first laser medium and connected to a second laser pump chamber operative to excite a second laser medium.

The present invention describes a method for identifying one or more of a plurality of sequences differing by one or more single base changes, insertions, deletions, or translocations in a plurality of target nucleotide sequences. The ligation phase utilizes a ligation detection reaction between one oligonucleotide probe, which has a target sequence-specific portion and an addressable array-specific portion, and a second oligonucleotide probe, having a target sequence-specific portion and a detectable label. After the ligation phase, the capture phase is carried out by hybridizing the ligated oligonucleotide probes to a solid support with an array of immobilized capture oligonucleotides at least some of which are complementary to the addressable array-specific portion. Following completion of the capture phase, a detection phase is carried out to detect the labels of ligated oligonucleotide probes hybridized to the solid support. The ligation phase can be preceded by an amplification process. The present invention also relates to a kit for practicing this method, a method of forming arrays on solid supports, and the supports themselves.

A method and apparatus for relighting a gas oven following interruption in the operation thereof due to a temporary failure or reduction in the energy level of a source of electric energy comprises instantaneously disconnecting the delivery of pressurized gas to the oven in response to a reduction in the level of the electric energy, slowly reducing the pressure of gas in the delivery system, monitoring the pressure of the gas, and restoring the delivery of fuel to the oven only if the energy supply is restored to a proper level within a short period of time and prior to a predetermined reduction of the gas pressure.

Apparatus for conveying a viscous liquid from a tank through a supply line to a device to be supplied with such liquid and thence to the tank via a return line, the liquid being heated either in the supply line or in the return line, or both. The apparatus includes concentric conduits extending into the tank and establishing supply and return passages connected respectively to the supply line and the return line. The conduits terminate at different levels inside the tank and the shorter of the conduits carries a sleeve at that end which is inside the tank and which is adjustable from outside the tank so as to vary the effective length of such conduit to enable the lower end of either conduit to extend beyond the lower end of the other conduit.
