Appl. No.:

13/548326

Inventors:

Teresa K. Woodruff - Chicago IL, US
Thomas V. O'Halloran - Chicago IL, US
Miranda L. Bernhardt - Chicago IL, US
Betty Y. Kong - Chicago IL, US
Alison M. Kim - Bethesda MD, US

International Classification:

C12N 5/075
C12N 5/07

US Classification:

435375, 435325

Abstract:

The present invention provides methods, compositions, and systems for reinitiating meiosis in cells in meiotic arrest and oocyte activation in fertilized, but un-activated, oocytes. In certain embodiments, Zn-binding moieties (e.g., zinc chelators) are used for reinitiating meiosis or oocyte activation.

International Classification:

H03M 1/12

US Classification:

341155

Abstract:

System and method for converting a high bandwidth analog signal to a digital signal including: receiving the high bandwidth analog signal; splitting the high bandwidth analog signal to M parallel channels; delaying the split signal in each channel with N*T delays, respectively; sampling each M delayed signals by M relatively prime sampling rate, wherein the sampling rate for each M delayed signal is smaller than the Nyquist frequency of the high bandwidth analog signal; upsampling each M sampled signal, wherein the upsampling rate for each M sampled signal satisfies the Nyquist frequency of the high bandwidth analog signal; combining the M up sampled signals into a combined signal; and reconstructing the combined signal to generate a digital signal representing the high bandwidth analog signal.
