Title: Preventing endogenous aminopeptidase mediated n-terminal amino acid cleavage during expression of foreign genes in bacteria
Inventor: HEITZMANN MARKUS
IPC: C12N15/10
Filed: 1993-11-29
Abstract: A process for the recombinant preparation in a bacterial host of the mature form of a mammalian protein or peptide of formula X-Pro-Z, which is subject to processing by endogenous bacterial aminopeptidases is provided. In the formula X-Pro-Z, X is a single N-terminal amino acid other than proline, and Z is the remaining sequence of amino acid residues of the protein or peptide. The process comprises inserting into a cell of the bacterial host an appropriate vector containing DNA coding for Met-Y-X-Pro-Z, in which Y is a natural amino acid that is specifically cleavable in vitro from X-Pro-Z by aminopeptidase and that imparts resistance to in vivo processing by endogenous bacterial aminopeptidases.  The cell is then induced to express the expression product Met-Y-X-Pro-Z which is then treated with an appropriate aminopeptidase to cleave off Met and Y.

IPC: H04W88/02
Filed: 1995-07-06
Abstract: A radiotelephone, used in a satellite radiotelephone system, has an antenna (12) with a hemispherical gain pattern (14). Since a satellite (18) can be anywhere in the sky the antenna gain pattern (14) needs to be aligned with the hemisphere above the user. This is accomplished with an antenna positioning apparatus, comprising the antenna (12) having a wedge shaped mating surface (42) affixed to an attaching surface (36) by a pin (38) and socket (44). The attaching surface (36) slopes downward from a plane (24) defined by a front face (26) of the radiotelephone (10). The combination of the wedge shaped mating surface (42) and the downward sloping attaching surface (36) positions the antenna (12) at an angle  phi  from the plane (24) when the antenna is in the active position. As a result the antenna (12) is vertically oriented when held by the user during normal use. <MATH>

Patent CA-2171253-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MAUCHLE FELIX
IPC: H02M7/10
Filed: 1996-03-07
Abstract: Electrostatic spray coating system which accurately determines the actual value of a high voltage present on at least one high voltage electrode as coating material is electrostatically charge. A control or input voltage is measured on the input of a voltage transformer and multiplier circuit and is multiplied by the voltage multiplication factor of the voltage transformer and multiplier circuit, thereby calculating the theoretical or no load value of the voltage on the high voltage electrode. This theoretical value deviates from the actual value of the electrode voltage by the amount of the internal voltage drop across the voltage transformer and multiplier circuit when a current flows in it. The internal voltage drop is determined as a function of the electrode current and is subtracted from the theoretical value in order to generate a signal voltage corresponding to the actual value of the electrode high voltage. The signal voltage is subtracted from a desired value voltage in order to generate a regulating differential voltage for a controller which, in response thereto, regulates the electrode voltage and available power.
