Abstract: A rainwater collection apparatus is formed with an outer sleeve member (21) that is adapted to connect with upper (14a) and lower (14b) downspout portions, and with an internal colander (30) that is operable to collect and filter the rainwater flowing through the upper downspout portion. The colander (30) has an upper flanged edge (35) that removes water flowing along the inside surface of the downspout, a filter area (31) including a plurality of apertures for the passage of rainwater into a catch basin (39), and a support flange (36) that rests on a base ledge formed on the outer sleeve to define the catch basin. A discharge spout (24) drains the collected rainwater from the catch basin to a remote storage container. An internal opening (38) in the colander (30) allows the passage of debris and the overflow of rainwater from the catch basin (39) through apertures in the colander for discharge through the lower downspout portion (14b).

Abstract: This invention relates to phytases, polynucleotides encoding them, uses of the polynucleotides and polypeptides of the invention, as well as the production and isolation of such polynucleotides and polypeptides. In particular, the invention provides polypeptides having phytase activity under high temperature conditions, and phytases that retain activity after exposure to high temperatures. The phytases of the invention can be thermotolerant and/or thermostable at low temperatures, in addition to higher temperatures. The phytases of the invention can be used in foodstuffs to improve the feeding value of phytate rich ingredients. The phytases of the invention can be formulated as foods or feeds or supplements for either to, e.g., aid in the digestion of phytate. The foods or feeds of the invention can be in the form of pellets, liquids, powders and the like. In one aspect, phytases of the invention are stabile against thermal denaturation during pelleting; and this decreases the cost of the phytase product while maintaining  in vivo  efficacy and detection of activity in feed.

Abstract: L'invention porte sur des techniques pour une attribution d'un réseau local virtuel (VLAN) en vue d'un déploiement par au moins une machine virtuelle disposée (VM) sur un hôte dans un réseau. Le réseau peut être un réseau informatique en nuage. La technique propose qu'un gestionnaire de VLAN soit adapté pour attribuer un identifiant de VLAN physique libre à l'identifiant de VLAN virtuel demandé. Le gestionnaire de VLAN interroge une table de mappage de VLAN pour déterminer un identifiant de VLAN physique libre. Dans le cas où l'identifiant de VLAN physique pour l'identifiant de VLAN virtuel demandé est en utilisation, une procédure pour déterminer l'au moins un VLAN physique libre est réalisée. Ladite procédure de détermination peut être basée sur un zonage prédéfini ou peut appliquer un réétiquetage après qu'un identifiant de VLAN physique libre a été calculé. Dans l'étape suivante, l'identifiant de VLAN physique déterminé est affecté au VLAN demandé. Enfin, les dispositifs de commutation VLAN se voient donner une instruction concernant l'affectation entre l'identifiant de VLAN physique et l'identifiant de VLAN virtuel afin d'appliquer ladite affectation aux paquets de données transportés sur le VLAN demandé. L'application peut être obtenue par la réalisation d'un réétiquetage des paquets de données entrants et sortants entre les identifiants de VLAN physique et virtuel dans un dispositif de commutation de VLAN.
