...article "How Do You Junk Your Computer?" about ways to recycle computer parts [TECHNOLOGY, Feb. 12], included a diagram of a PC with a part identified as a "monitor yolk." I may not be a computer expert, but I do know the difference between the yoke on a cathode-ray tube and that of an egg, which is what's on your faces. HANNAH TANENBAUM Manlius...
...quite sure why. That's because much about the disease remains a mystery. Scientists like Scott are convinced it's carried not by a virus or a bacterium but by a rogue protein called a prion (see diagram). Unfortunately, prions can't be detected in a blood or tissue test; only their brain-riddling effect is apparent, and then usually just on autopsy. They can't be destroyed, moreover, by cooking or even by radiation. So if the BSE prion somehow did manage to enter the U.S. food supply, it might cause at least a few deaths before anyone could...
Finally, Schatten and his team were ready to try a DNA transfer (see diagram). This first effort was meant only to test the technique, so they decided to use a gene that occurs naturally in jellyfish, where it directs the production of a harmless protein that glows with a greenish light under the right illumination. Mice, rabbits and other creatures who have had the same gene inserted actually do shine dimly; while ANDi (his name is a backward acronym for "inserted DNA") does not, the scientists have detected traces of the gene in his muscle, hair, cheek and blood cells...
...Keep careful records of your invention and record every step of its inception. Describe and diagram every aspect and modification. It may not be necessary to build a test model, but check with someone at the patent office to see whether one is needed...
...began by ordering a Panasonic ShowStopper ($800), which comes with ReplayTV built in. Despite having an installation diagram that looks like a Jackson Pollock mural, the ShowStopper was surprisingly quick and easy to set up. If your TV doesn't have those red-white-yellow AV inputs (mine doesn't), you'll have to route it through something that does, like a VCR. Once your DVR is up and running, you plug it into a phone jack, so that it can download the week's program listings. (ReplayTV automatically makes a short phone call every morning at around...
