Abstract: An E.coli strain which 'over-produces' L-tryptophan, comprises, in the genome thereof, a mutant gene which encodes partially-defective tryptophanyl-tRNA synthetase (preferably the trpS378 allele) - which when present in a non-producing strain, is characterized by a temperature-dependent tryptophan auxotrophy - and has a further mutation on the chromosome thereof in at least one gene selected from mtr (especially mtr - 24 ), aroP (especially aroP579 ), tnaA (especially tnaA1 ) and tnaB . The strains may be transformed with a plasmid which carries the tryptophan operon encoding an anthranilate synthase enzyme, freed from feedback inhibition by tryptophan, and/or which possess mutations in at least one gene selected from the trpEDCBA - group (which, when present in a non-producing cell, confers tryptophan auxotrophy thereon). L-tryptophan may be prepared by the cultivation of the said strains at ca. 30 degrees C (preferably in the presence of yeast extract), limiting growth by the concentration of available phosphate (in an appropriate medium), followed by fermentation (in the absence of yeast extract) at from 33 to 37 degrees C. The fermentation is preferably effected in the absence of antibiotics.

Abstract: Un article absorbant jetable, tel qu'un coussin d'incontinence, se révèle à la fois confortable et approprié pour absorber et confiner de grands volumes de liquides organique sans fuite. Cet article absorbant comporte une couche supérieure perméable, une couche inférieure imperméable raccordée à la couche supérieure, et un noyau absorbant placé entre ces deux couches et contenant un matériau qui se dilate lorsqu'il est mouillé. La couche inférieure comprend au moins un repli qui est assujetti avec un adhésif soluble dans les liquides, de façon qu'une fois cet adhésif mouillé, il se dissout et permet au repli de se déployer à mesure que le noyau absorbant se dilate. Ce repli peut se déployer dans toutes les directions, mais de préférence de façon sensiblement parallèle ou perpendiculaire à l'axe longitudinal de l'article absorbant.

Abstract: A sports racquet includes a power ring, spanning the throat region of the head, which has an arcuate bearing surface facing away from the outer head portion of the racquet. The bearing surface bows in the direction of the stringing area. The lower ends of the main strings wrap about the bearing surface of the power ring, and the strings extend outwardly in a fan shape configuration to frame. The power ring has the effect of shortening the center strings, and lengthening the outlying main strings, so that the power provided by the strings is more uniform over the string bed.

Abstract: Cette invention concerne un circuit intégré (CI), lequel comprend de multiples circuits et fonctions qui se partagent des bus de signaux internes multiples, dont trois physiques et cinq logiques, en fonction des accès aux bus attribués et de l'arbitrage de commande. Trois groupes de fonctions de circuits internes se partagent ces bus de signaux internes multiples, à savoir: une unité centrale de traitement et un contrôleur d'accès direct en mémoire (DMA); un contrôleur de RAM dynamique et une unité d'interface de bus; et, enfin, des circuits d'interfaces périphériques tel que des PCMCIA et des contrôleurs d'affichage. Deux des bus physiques correspondent à deux des bus logiques et sont utilisés pour les communications à l'intérieur du CI. Le troisième bus physique correspond à trois des bus logiques et sert aux communications entre le CI et les circuits externes au CI. Un arbitrage d'accès et de commande des divers bus de signaux est assuré tant à l'intérieur que parmi les trois groupes de fonctions de circuits internes. Ce système permet d'obtenir des performances maximales des fonctions de circuits auxquelles on a le plus fréquemment accès, tout en assurant des performances élevées des fonctions de circuits auxquelles on a moins fréquemment accès. Ce CI peut également comporter une mémoire centrale de processeur possédant des caractéristiques permettant d'effectuer des émulations en circuit.

The lower member, the slider and the crank preferably constitute a slider crank mechanism with the crank pivotally connected to the upper and lower members and the slider pivotally connected to the lower member and slidably connected to the upper member. At full extension the crank is inclined posteriorly and upwardly, with the pivotable connection with the upper member located below the pivotable connection with the lower member. The slider is located in a track which forms part of the upper member and may move with a rolling or sliding contact.

Abstract: Window frames and door frames of wood must often be protected against dry-rot and mould. Therefore, they are most often made of impregnated wood. However, this gives rise to such a great environmental risk that there is need for a subsequent, effective impregnation of the frames, which can hereby be manufacturated from unimpregnated wood. By providing the frame pieces (1-5) according to the invention with at least one channel (6, 8, 16), which extends longitudinally to and in around the centre of the piece, and further by mutually connecting this or these channels by means of a hole (7), it is possible, after the frame has been assembled and after mounting in the building, to introduce a fluid impregnation agent into the channels (6, 8, 16) via the hole (7). The frame is hereby provided with impregnation agent from inside the exposed places in the frame, and this impregnation can be maintained by suitable subsequent filling with impregnation agent.
