OBS

Using a variety of modular computer systems with standard and custom software packages, services are available in support of many diverse design and manufacturing applications. A considerable amount of time can be saved by the use of computers in the design/manufacturing process. This time saving comes primarily from design prototype simulation and analysis, and also from the fact that the designer can create his design without ever having either to draw a line on paper of recreate an existing design element. Communication between CAD and CAM utilizing a common data base is desirable to reap the maximum benefits of this technology. See Computer-Aided Photomask and IC Design Services.

Most at-risk individuals will need to develop basic computer skills in order to take advantage of online services. However, they generally find it difficult to stick with a structured education program and often don’t complete traditional courses of even two weeks duration. Design the learning content in a very modular fashion, with short components designed for online self-directed learning.

The Pistol Grip Tool(PGT) is the primary power tool for the Hubble Space Telescope and International Space Station operations. [This] self-contained, computer controlled, and battery powered 3/8 inch drive pistol grip style power tool [is] programmable on-orbit or on the ground for speed, torque, and revolutions settings. [It] interfaces with many types of mechanisms and fastener types. [It is an] Integral Multiple Setting Torque Limiter(MTL) [and has] an EVA changeable battery[, ] a separate manual ratchet and motorized torque modes[, ] a LED Matrix readout of tool functions. [It's] modular construction [allows] for ease of new technology integration. Torque settings range from 0. 7 to 25. 0 ft-lbs in motorized mode, and up to 38. 00 fr-lbs in manual mode. The MTL torque setting range from 2. 0 to 40. 0 fr-lbs and above. Speed settings range from 5 to 60 RPM. Revolutions count settings range from 0. 01 to 999 turns. The battery [is] sized to provide full 25. 0 ft-lb torque on 80 fasteners.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Biochemistry
  • Genetics
CONT

A computer program, which runs on MS-DOS personal computers, is described that assists in the design of synthetic genes coding for proteins. The goal of the program is the design of a gene which(i) contains as many unique restriction sites as possible and(ii) uses a specific codon usage. The gene designed according to the criteria above is(i) suitable for ’modular mutagenesis’ experiments and(ii) optimized for expression. The program ’reverse-translates’ protein sequences into degenerated DNA sequences, generates a map of potential restriction sites and locates sequence positions where unique restriction sites can be accommodated. The nucleic acid sequence is then ’refined’ according to a specific codon usage to remove any degeneration. Unique restriction sites, if potentially present, can be ’forced’ into the degenerated nucleic acid sequence by using ’priority codes’ assigned to different restriction sequences.
