    摘要: The present invention relates to methods of working sheet metal, and sheet metal working apparatus for performing such methods. Such methods include steps of providing a sheet metal workpiece having first and second surfaces opposed to each other and at least one edge, bending the workpiece to form at least a first sidewall portion defined between the edge and a basal region, the first sidewall portion thereby defining a curved fold region in the sheet metal workpiece adjacent the first sidewall portion. Following this, first anvil tool and a first forming tool are provided for contact with and constraint of the first and second surfaces of the sheet metal workpiece respectively. The forming tool and/or the anvil tool are then progressively slid along the curved fold region to cause shear material transfer in the curved fold region to further deform the curved fold region. Such methods can allow for formation of components of similar shape as made at present by deep drawing methods, but with less wastage of the starting material.

    摘要: The invention relates to a method of preparing a nucleic acid library from a sample comprising high molecular weight DNA (HMW DNA), preferably genomic DNA, comprising the steps (i) contacting said DNA with a first restriction enzyme and a second restriction enzyme; (ii) contacting said DNA with a pair of oligonucleotide adapters according to any of claims 1 to 12; (iii) contacting said DNA with at least one DNA ligase; and (iv) incubating to allow digestion of the DNA by said first restriction enzyme and second restriction enzyme, annealing of said oligonucleotide adapters to the digested DNA, and ligation of the annealed oligonucleotide adapters to the digested DNA by said at least one DNA ligase. The invention also relates to oligonucleotide adapters, a kit, and uses of same.
