Title: Method and apparatus for determining the optical distance of a threat on an optical fiber
Inventor: ESLAMBOLCHI HOSSEIN
IPC: H04B10/08
Filed: 2000-02-28
Abstract: The optical distance along a buried optical fiber (12) from a particular location (13) therealong to a central facility (10) is measured by first applying an intentional stress to the fiber in the form of a vibration signal (35) transmitted into the ground. A timing signal (36) is transmitted to the central facility (10) in synchronism with the application of the stress. Using the timing signal as a reference, the central facility can determine the time difference between when the stress was applied, and when the central facility detected the stress. From the time difference, and a knowledge of the propagation rate of the timing signal, the central facility can establish the optical distance to the particular location at which the stress was applied.

Patent CA-2324205-A1 (CA)
Inventor: STAYTON PATRICK S
IPC: C07K19/00
Filed: 1999-04-02
Abstract: Circularly permuted proteins are described wherein the natural termini of the polypeptide are joined and the resulting circular protein is opened at another point to create new C- and N-termini. The resulting protein exhibits some altered characteristic such as reduced substrate binding, for example. Fusion proteins can be made from the circularly permuted protein by attaching the second polypeptide to these newly created termini. These fusion proteins will have altered properties from a fusion protein made by attaching the second polypeptide to the natural termini. For example, the second peptide or protein can be attached at a position where it is more accessible to its substrate or intended target. In the preferred embodiment, the base polypeptide is streptavidin. Circular permutation of streptavidin results in a circularly permuted biotin binding protein. In one embodiment, a flexible polypeptide loop important for the binding of biotin was opened by creation of the circularly permuted protein. The original termini (residues 13 and 139 of Sequence ID NO:1) were joined by a linker. The biotin association constant was reduced approximately six orders of magnitude below that of wild type streptavidin to 107 M-1. Fusion proteins of the circularly permuted streptavidin can be made with secondary peptides/proteins such as IgG binding protein A or single-chain antibodies.

Title: Methods of separating catalyst in solution from a reaction mixture produced by oxidation of cyclohexane to adipic acid
Inventor: DASSEL MARK W
IPC: C07C51/42
Filed: 1999-07-02
Abstract: This invention relates to methods of controlling the oxidation of cyclohexane to adipic acid in the presence of a monobasic acid solvent, by separating the catalyst from the reaction mixture, outside the reaction zone. Substantially all the unreacted cyclohexane, the majority of adipic acid, and substantially all the monobasic acid solvent are preferably removed. A protic solvent, may be added intermittently or continuously in the reaction mixture during the removal of the monobasic acid solvent, preferably by distillation, for preventing solids precipitation. A dipolar aprotic solvent is then added in the presence of an adequate amount of the protic solvent to maintain a single liquid phase, followed by a step of formation of two liquid phases, a solids-free protic liquid phase containing substantially all the catalyst, and a solids-free aprotic liquid phase containing at least the majority of ingredients of the reaction mixture. The formation of the two phases is performed by a process selected from a group consisting of lowering the first temperature to a second temperature, adding additional protic solvent, adding an apolar aprotic solvent, and a combination thereof.
