    What Oligos Mean for Medical Research

    Medical research is an expensive endeavor, and results can sometimes produce more questions than answers. Costs are also spread out over several months or years, the time it takes to conduct the test. It can be difficult to use live test subjects for a number of reasons, like the costs of having them come to the facility for testing. A synthetic nucleotide/polynucleotide can solve many of these challenges effectively. Precise Testing When a researcher wants to study how a disease reacts with certain chemicals, he or she needs a specific strand of DNA in bulk. This is far more efficient than waiting for live patients, especially in times of crisis…

    Improvements to Time and Attendance Systems

    Written by: Allied Time The technology behind time and attendance systems has changed significantly over the years.

    How Downhole Transducers Work

    Summary: Oil drilling is a complex operation, and without sensing pressure, it amounts to guess work at best. In order to extract oil and natural gas from the ground, engineers need to drill deep into the earth. In the olden days, a great bar was lifted into the air and struck forcefully into the ground. This is where a down-hole transducer comes in handy. A lot of time and effort goes into prospecting for oil, and finding a field that produces can be a costly endeavor. Plus, fields that have oil don’t necessarily have it by the barrel full. When engineers find an area that they suspect to be oil-rich,…

    The Uses for a Near Space Balloon

    The French balloonist Jean-Pierre Blanchard set off on a record breaking journey from Paris in 1785. He brought his assistant John Jeffries onto a balloon that carried the pair high into the sky. Unfortunately, the balloon soon lost its lift and was in danger of crashing into the English Channel. They managed to lighten the load and save themselves, but today’s scientists use a much safer way to monitor the skies. A high altitude balloon lets meteorologists and other experts document their observations from the safety of the ground. On any given year, more than 60,000 weather balloons will be launched in the name of science. Hobbyists launch them with…
