In various embodiments, the present invention provides fluorescent dyes that are linked to another species through an adaptor moiety. In an exemplary embodiment, the dye is linked to a polyphosphate nucleic acid through an adaptor. An adaptor can be a component of a linker. These conjugates find use in single molecule DNA sequencing and other applications. In various embodiments, the dye moiety is a cyanine dye. Cyanine dyes that are highly charged, such as those including multiple sulfonate, alkylsulfonate, carboxylate and / or alkylcarboxylate moieties are examples of cyanine dyes of use in the compounds of the invention.

An automated AC line filter and surge suppression apparatus 100 having an inductive current sense loop (ICSL) circuit 10 for sensing inductive current at a load and controlling the application of AC line filter 112 to an AC power line to the load. Current sensor 12 in series with the input line senses inductive load current. A first bridge rectifier 14 rectifies the sensed load current to a proportionate DC voltage, which triggers a switch 24. The output of switch 24 is fed into an opto-isolator 26, which in turn controls second switch 28. Switch 28 connects or disconnects AC line filter 112 from the system according to a predetermined sensed inductive current at the load. MOVs 102 and capacitive elements 104 provide continuous surge suppression protection to the load.

The specification herein discloses a tracking control system for a vehicle such as a snowmobile. Such a vehicle includes a chassis with at least one ride member, such as a ski. The tracking control system includes a suspension arm, a spindle, and a slide bar. The suspension arm extends outwardly from the chassis, the arm being pivotally secured to the chassis. The spindle is secured to an outward end of the suspension arm. The spindle has an upper end a lower end with the slide bar secured to the lower end. The slide bar is oriented generally transverse to the spindle and to a major axis of the ski. The ski is movably coupled to the slide bar and spring biased in a direction away from the chassis.

The first invention relates to a vehicle with pneumatic tires characterized in that the vehicle comprises a cooling unit which expels a fluid to cool the pneumatic tire from the outside thereof at least when the air pressure of the pneumatic tire decreases. And, the second invention relates to a tire cooling method in the vehicle with pneumatic tires comprising: a step of monitoring the air pressure of the pneumatic tire during running, and a step of expelling a fluid toward the pneumatic tire so as to cool the pneumatic tire from its outside when the air pressure falls below a predetermined value.

Heteroaryl cyanine dyes bearing sulfonic acid substituents are of use in various assays, including single molecule nucleic acid sequencing. Exemplary heteroaryl cyanines dyes include or more reactive functional group, which is of use to covalently conjugate the cyanine dye to a carrier molecule. An exemplary carrier molecule is an analyte molecule or other molecule of interest, for example, a nucleotide oligophosphate.

Provided is a control device for an internal combustion engine, which can enable stable and fine control of an average air / fuel ratio of an exhaust gas on the upstream side of a catalyst. The control device for an internal combustion engine includes: a catalytic converter; an upstream O2 sensor to the upstream of the catalyst; a downstream O2 sensor to the downstream of the catalyst; a first air / fuel ratio feedback control unit for controlling the air / fuel ratio of the exhaust gas based on an output value of the upstream O2 sensor and a controlling constant group; a second air / fuel ratio feedback control unit for calculating a target average air / fuel ratio AFAVEobj based on the output value of the upstream O2 sensor and an output target value VR2; and a conversion unit for calculating at least two controlling constants by using the target average air / fuel ratio AFAVEobj as a common index.
