Subject field(s)
  • Molecular Biology
DEF

... new [method] devised for sequencing DNA ...

CONT

In broad outline the plus-and-minus method calls for synthesizing pieces of DNA that are complementary to various regions of the DNA being sequenced. Because of the way the synthesis is manipulated each piece ends either with or just before a particular, identifiable nucleotide(A, G, T or C). By performing the synthesis to produce a large number of pieces, each one ending with a successive nucleotide in the sequence, it is possible to establish the sequence of the entire DNA molecule.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Biologie moléculaire
DEF

[Nnouvelle méthode] pour établir la séquence de l'ADN [...]

CONT

Dans ses grandes lignes, la méthode du «plus-moins» consiste en la synthèse de fragments d'ADN, complémentaires des zones de l'ADN dont on veut établir la séquence. La synthèse est orientée de telle façon que chaque fragment se termine par un nucléotide particulier que l'on peut identifier (A, G, T ou C) ou par le nucléotide qui le précède. En faisant la synthèse d'un grand nombre de fragments dont chacun se termine par un des nucléotides successifs de la séquence, il est possible d'établir la séquence entière de la molécule d'ADN.

Subject field(s)
  • Plastics Manufacturing
CONT

What makes automatic molding automatic is the mold. There are a number of requirements for automatic molding. The machine must be capable of consistent, repetitive action. The mold must clear itself automatically. This means that all the parts have to be ejected using a runnerless mold, or that the runner and the parts have to be ejected in a conventional mold. There may be some method for assisting in the removal of the pieces, usually in the form of a wiper mechanism, air blast, or robot. All machines used automatically must have a low-pressure closing system to prevent the machine from closing under full pressure if there is any obstruction between the dies. The machine shuts itself off and/or an alarm is sounded. Automatic molding does not necessarily eliminate the operator. Many times, an operator is present to pack the parts and perform secondary operations. Automatic molding gives a better quality piece and more rapid cycle. In automatic molding an experienced person usually attends several machines. Unless the powder feed and part removal are automated, this person takes care of those operations.

OBS

automatic mold: A mold for injection, compression, or transfer molding that repeatedly goes through the entire molding cycle, including ejection, without human assistance.
