Abstract: A temperature controlled food serving bar (1; 201; 301; 401). The food serving bar
(1; 201; 301; 401) includes a cabinet (3; 207) having a bottom (7), opposite sides (9)and
opposite ends (11) defining an interior space (15). A top wall (17) and an opening (19;
209) in the top wall (17) are above the interior space (15). A plurality of elongate,
generally parallel spaced apart dividers (23; 303; 415, 431) of thermally conductive
material extend lengthwise of the cabinet (3; 207) in or below the opening (19; 209). The
dividers (23; 303; 415, 431) have side walls (65; 213; 341; 417) dividing the interior space
(15) into elongate generally parallel cavities (25; 231; 321). A temperature control system
(31; 325) for controlling the temperature of the dividers (23; 303; 415, 431) has heat
transfer lines (33; 329) extending along the side walls (65; 213; 341; 417) of the dividers
(23; 303; 415, 431). Upwardly facing surfaces (95; 202; 317; 407) on the dividers (23;
303; 415, 431) support food-holding pans (27; 219; 323; 441) such that the pans (27; 219;
323; 441) extend down into the cavities (25; 231; 321) adjacent the side walls (65; 213;
341; 417). Thermal barriers (99; 233; 379; 451) below the upwardly facing surfaces (95;
202; 317; 407) inhibit the transfer of heat between the side walls (65; 213; 341; 417) and
the upwardly facing surfaces (95; 202; 317; 407).

Title: Nucleic acid sequences coding for proteolytic enzymes in the form of specific proteases, corresponding polypeptides and use of the same
Inventor: MOCK THOMAS
IPC: C12N15/57
Filed: 2003-09-21
Abstract: The invention relates to enzymes from the specific groups of calpain proteases, which take part in a plurality of metabolic processes, e.g. by acting on the apoptosis, for certain cancerous diseases and during cell migration. The invention also relates to enzymes from the group of metalloproteases which develop, e.g. activities during fertilisation, and take part in blood pressure regulation as ACEs and as collagenases in collagen metabolism. A potential need of such enzymes is mainly covered today by plant and animal sources. Known organisms in which such proteases naturally occur exclusively come from warmer regions, such that a costly heat supply necessitating complex apparatus is required during the production thereof. Organisms comprising enzymes adapted to the cold are known however. The invention thus also relates to nucleic acid sequences coding for a calpain 7 protease and a zinc metalloprotease, which originate from the marine diatoms Fragilariopsis cylindrus adapted to the cold and correspond to SEQ ID No.1, SEQ ID No.2 or functional variants or fragments having at least 8 nucleotides thereof.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne des modes de réalisation de méthodes améliorées de purification, de détection et de caractérisation de molécules. Ces méthodes améliorées consistent à créer un réactif porteur capable (i) de se fixer de manière spécifique ou non spécifique à une matrice ; et (ii) de former une liaison covalente avec un ligand comprenant un groupe nucléophile ou un thioester, suite à une réaction simple ne nécessitant pas l'utilisation de plusieurs réactifs chimiques ou de processus chimiques sophistiqués. La liaison covalente entre le porteur et le ligand repose sur la réaction chimique entre un thioester et un groupe nucléophile. Le porteur devrait contenir soit un thioester réactif qui, s'il s'agit d'une protéine, devrait se situer sur l'extrémité C-terminale de la protéine, soit un groupe réactif nucléophile qui, s'il s'agit d'une protéine, devrait se situer sur l'extrémité N-terminale et devrait être, de préférence, une cystéine ou une selenocystéine. Le ligand nécessite la présence d'un groupe réactif nucléophile pour réagir avec le thioester sur le porteur. Cependant, si le porteur comprend un groupe réactif nucléophile, le ligand devrait comprendre un thioester réactif.

Patent EP-1460689-A2 (EP)
Inventor: SIN JOHNNY KIN
IPC: H01L23/485
Filed: 2004-01-14
Abstract: Current practice of the common source configuration is to connect the sources of the two discrete MOSFETs (housed either in separated packages or in a single package) externally on the printed circuit board. Because the gate pads and source pads of the two dies are alternatively placed between gate and source, it does not allow the sources of the power MOSFETs to be connected internally, which requires an additional layer of circuit board to connect the sources and the gates externally. This invention provides a novel electronic device layout design and a novel packaging technique for common source configuration, placing two MOSFETs in a package with their sources connected to a single source post which is located between two gate posts. In order to facilitate gate bonding and to prevent any shorting between gate and source, two gate pads are used and placed at the upper adjacent corners of each MOSFET.

Abstract: According to the display device of the present
invention, counter electrodes are formed in stripes at a
position facing pixel electrodes, with a polymer dispersion
liquid crystal held between the counter electrodes and pixel
electrodes. When a positive-polarity signal is to be
impressed to a pixel electrode, a negative-polarity voltage
is fed to the counter electrode. On the other hand, when a
negative-polarity signal is to be impressed to a pixel
electrode, a positive-polarity voltage is added to the counter
electrode. In this impressing manner of voltages, a high
voltage can be applied to the polymer dispersion liquid
crystal layer on the pixel electrodes, so that the liquid
crystal layer is turned into the transmitting state even if
it is thick. Accordingly, the scattering efficiency is
improved and images are displayed with high contrast as the
liquid crystal layer can be made thick. If the thick
transparent substrate is bonded to the counter substrate
having the counter electrodes thereon, the light scattered at
the liquid crystal layer is reflected by the counter substrate
and returned back to the liquid crystal layer, thus eliminating
the light to be scattered again. The display contrast is
improved. When the display device is utilized as a light
valve of a projection-type display apparatus, it realizes a 
video equipment able to display images on a large screen with
high luminance and high contrast.

Abstract: A system is provided for efficiently utilizing a transmission capacity
without complicated processing by using a hierarchical code comprised of a
plurality of layers having different error correcting capabilities. In a transmitter,
an encoding unit encodes an image in accordance with a hierarchical coding
scheme to generate a plurality of layer data. An error correcting code addition
unit performs error correction coding on each of at least one layer data
including the lowermost layer data in accordance with an error correction
coding scheme which gives higher error correcting capabilities to a lower layer
than a higher layer. A transmission unit transmits each of the layer data and
error correcting codes onto a transmission path. A receiver corrects possible
errors introduced on the transmission path into the layer data received from
the transmitter in accordance with the error correction coding scheme, and
decodes layer data received in a quality available for decoding to restore the image.

Abstract: An internal combustion engine includes an in-cylinder
injection valve and an intake passage injection valve. A
control apparatus of the engine determines whether the
temperature of a component located in the exhaust passage is
higher than or equal to a predetermined temperature. When the
temperature of the component is higher than or equal to the
predetermined temperature, the control apparatus increases,
without changing the total amount of fuel supplied to the
cylinder, the ratio of a fuel injection amount of the intake
passage injection valve to a fuel injection amount of the in-cylinder
injection valve compared to a case where the
temperature of the component is not higher than or equal to
the predetermined temperature. Therefore, the catalyst is
reliably prevented from being overheated, while preventing
the fuel economy from deteriorating.

ECR (Estimated Correct Ratio) of a current frame is estimated from the soft decision
value by an ECR criterion deriving portion. If the end is determined as a result of an
end determination of decoding by the turbo decoder from a result of comparison with a
last ECR value and the maximum number of times of repetition of decoding, a hard
decision result and a decoding result are outputted, and if no end is determined, the
number of times of repetition is counted up so as to repeat the above process.

Abstract: A robot flexure correction device and method in which flexure amount
correction can be automatically performed on taught points. For each robot
model and for each of loads that are different in weight and center-of-gravity
position, flexure amounts representing deviations of a robot front
end are measured at a plurality of positions in a robot operating area, and
stored as flexure amount data. When a robot is used, flexure amount data
about the model of the used robot and about the load that is close in weight
and center-of-gravity position to a used tool is designated from flexure
amount data files (1-1 to 1-m) by a flexure amount data designation means
(3). A program is designated from programs (2-1 to 2-n) by an operation
program designation means (4). By a flexure amount calculation means
(5), a flexure amount for each of taught point positions/orientation in the
program is calculated using the flexure amount data. By a position
correction means (6), each of the taught point positions/orientations is
corrected on the basis of the obtained flexure amount. Thus, a corrected
program is obtained. Flexure amount data only needs to be created once by
a robot manufacturer or the like. Merely by designating flexure amount
data on the basis of the weight and center-of-gravity position of a tool to be
used, a user can automatically obtain a program corrected as regards
flexure amount.
