Compositions comprised of at least two biopolymers (e.g., nucleic acids or polypeptides), which are conjugated to an insoluble support by two different reversible linkages, which are cleavable under selective conditions, as well as methods and components for producing the same are described.

A metal wood golf club formed without side walls wherein the crown shares a common outer margin with the sole so that side wall portions are eliminated. The ball striking surface has a marginal edge within a portion of the common outer margin. The hosel extends from the crown adjacent the ball striking surface to a level near an upper extremity of the crown. The metal wood golf club may be formed ...

The invention provides a parallel to serial data converter wherein the frequency of a basic clock pulse signal to be applied for driving can be reduced to one half with respect to a same data rate and consequently the operation speed required for a circuit in a preceding stage can be reduced, and a bad influence of noise such as, for example, jitters of serial data is eliminated. In the parallel t...

A novel reprogrammable set top terminal for a television program delivery system which suggests programs for viewing is described. The invention relates to methods and apparatus for reprogramming set top terminals, and selecting and displaying programs to suggest to subscribers for viewing. The invention is particularly useful in television program delivery systems with hundreds of channels of pro...

A multimedia object is declustered across a multiple of disk drives to employ the aggregate bandwidth of the several disk drives so that continuous retrieval or display of the object is achieved. The clusters are logically defined across a plurality of disk drives instead of being physically defined so that two consecutive subobjects comprising the data object may be on the same disks. The subobje...

CPU overhead is minimized through tracking speculative exceptions (202) for later processing during exception resolution (204) including pointing to the addresses of these speculative instructions, and resolving (204) these exceptions by correcting (206) what caused the exception and re-executing (208) the instructions which are known to be in a taken path. Tracking speculative exceptions has two ...

Circuits, systems, and methods relating to processor which processes a plurality of sequentially arranged instructions. In the method, one method step (10) receives into a processor pipeline an instruction from the plurality of sequentially arranged instructions. Another step (12) determines whether the received instruction comprises a short forward branch instruction. If the received instruction ...
