Abstract: Disclosed is a microorganism including both tdcBC and pckA genes inactivated on chromosome, which has remarkably improved productivity of L-thionine due to the inactivation of the two genes. Also, the present invention discloses a method of producing L-threonine using the microorganism. The microorganism is prepared by incorporating by a recombination technique an antibiotic resistance gene into a pckA gene on the chromosome of a bacterial strain containing an L-threonine degradation-associated operon gene, tdcBC, which is inactivated. The microorganism has the effect of preventing degradation and intracellular influx of L-threonine due to the inactivation of the tdcBC operon gene, and includes more activated pathways for L-threonine biosynthesis. Therefore, the microorganism is useful for mass production of L-threonine because of being capable of producing L-threonine in high levels and high yields even in the presence of high concentrations of glucose.

Abstract: A planar antenna that facilitates directional communication to a mesh network. The antenna is housed in a relatively small, planar package that can easily be attached to a window pane to enable the antenna to communicate with a neighboring rooftop mounted node of the mesh network. The package contains an M by N element phased array, where M and N are integers greater than one. The array is driven by microwave signals supplied from a P-angle phase shifting circuit, where P is an integer greater than one. Thus, the antenna synthesizes a single main beam and the antenna's main beam can be electrically "pointed" in one of P directions. In one embodiment of the invention, the array comprises 40 physical elements (8x5 elements) and has three selectable directions (i.e., the phase shifters provide +90, 0 and -90 degree shifts that move the beam left 45 degrees, center and right 45 degrees).

Abstract: In an environment of temporally and spatially uncorrelated white additive noise, the direction estimation apparatus for coherent signals calculates (M-1) instantaneous cross-correlations between some array data, and selecting multiple pairs each of which is consisted of p instantaneous correlations from the (M - 1) instantaneous cross-correlations to form a Hankel correlation matrix. Next, the apparatus divides that Hankel matrix into an upper submatrix and a lower submatrix and then calculates a linear operator at time n by using the adaptive LMS algorithm with a fixed or time-varying step-size parameter and or using the adaptive NLMS algorithm from the two submatrices. Then a noise subspace is estimated from that linear operator. Finally the directions of incident signals at time n is estimated and tracked by using that noise subspace with Newton approximation.

Abstract: An optical fiber preform is assembled by inserting core rod segments axially end to end inside of a first glass overclad tube having a first, relatively low concentration of a given impurity that contributes to signal attenuation in an optical fiber to be drawn from the preform. The first overclad tube with the contained core rod segments are inserted in a second glass tube having a second concentration of the given impurity which is higher than the first concentration. The wall thickness of the first overclad tube is preferably less than that of the second overclad tube, thus reducing the amount of high purity glass needed to form the first overclad tube and attendant manufacturing costs. The core rod segments may include salvageable remnants from a single long core rod produced, for example, by vapor axial deposition (VAD).
