The present invention provides for amplification of one or more polynucleotides by multi-staged linear amplifications using one or more RNA polymerases. At each stage RNA transcripts are accumulated at a linear rate, so that multiple stages provide for faster than linear transcript accumulation. In one aspect, the invention provides for polynucleotide amplification by ligating hairpin adaptors to an end of polynucleotides wherein the hairpin adaptors each contain a promoter sequence oriented so that transcription proceeds in the direction of the loop of the hairpin adaptor. Upon transcription through such loop region and to the complementary strand a replicate is made of the promoter sequence as well as the polynucleotide, thereby permitting exponential amplification upon reverse transcription, second strand synthesis, and repetition of the above cycle. Preferably such amplification is carried out under isothermal reaction conditions.

A spring system for relatively displacing elements attached to end mounts of the rod assembly comprises a housing having a rod member movable between extended and retracted positions relative thereto, and a first compression spring in the housing surrounded by a second compression spring for biasing the rod member to one of an extended or retracted position relative to the housing. The two springs are oppositely wound whereby, from a compressed condition, the spring rod exerts an expansion force which increases at a linear rate. The spring system includes a valve arrangement to control the rate at which the spring rod moves from a retracted position to an extended position.

A spring is formed of a relatively thin sheet of spring material which is constricted and held in place at each end forming a bell curve being located between two substantially planar members. As additional compressive force is applied in the vertical direction, the curve then compresses and starts to form sine waves. The greater the force, progressively higher the wave frequency with lower amplitude would form. When the force is removed, the flexible material returns to its original shape. The force needed to shift the curve (increase the number of waveform) increases at an exponential rate, as opposed to the linear rate of most normal springs. The maintenance force of new stable state is considerable less than the threshold force. Such a relatively flat spring with an exponential spring rate and self dampening through phase change has a number of useful applications for automotive and industrial use.

A method for interrogating time-multiplexed interferometric sensors using multiple interrogation pulses so as to increases the allowable interrogation pulse duty-cycle and improve the signal-to-noise ratio. In each TDM repetition period a sequence of multiple interrogation pulses are generated. The pulses in the sequence are separated by a time that is equal to the sensor imbalance. The phase from pulse to pulse in each TDM time-slot is modulated at a different, linear rate such that the pulse in time-slot m will have an optical frequency that is shifted by mΔν, where Δν is the sub-carrier frequency. Because multiple reflections do not need to fade out the inventive method can enhance the signal-to-noise ratio of interferometric sensors such as inline Fabry-Perot sensors.
