Title: Seed coat specific dna regulatory region and peroxidase
Inventor: GIJZEN MARK
IPC: C12N15/53
Filed: 1997-09-19
Abstract: A novel seed coat specific peroxidase genomic sequence is characterized and presented. Adjacent DNA regulatory regions have also been characterized. The seed coat peroxidase is translated as a 352 amino acid precursor protein of 38 kDa comprising a 26 amino acid signal sequence which when cleaved results in a 35 kDa protein. Plants containing a dominant Ep allele accumulate large amounts of peroxidase in the hourglass cells of the subepidermis. Homozygous recessive epep genotypes do not accumulate peroxidase in the hourglass cells and are much reduced in total seed coat peroxidase activity. Probes derived from the cDNA, or genomic DNA can be used to detect polymorphisms that distinguished EpEp and epep genotypes. Cosegregation of the polymorphisms in an F2 population from a cross of EpEp and epep plants shows that the Ep locus encodes the seed coat peroxidase protein. Comparison of Ep and ep alleles indicates that the recessive gene lacks 87 bp of sequence encompassing the translation start codon. The heterologous expression, as well as vectors and hosts to be used for the expression of the seed coat peroxidase, are also disclosed. The seed-specific DNA regulatory region may be used to control expression of genes of interest such as i) genes encoding herbicide resistance, or ii) biological control of insects or pathogens (e.g. B. thuringiensis), or iii) viral coat proteins to protect against viral infections, or iv) proteins of commercial interest (e.g.  pharmaceutical), and v) proteins that alter the nutritive value, taste, or processing of seeds.

Title: An arbitration controller for providing arbitration on a multipoint high speed serial bus
Inventor: PRALLE CHAD A
IPC: H04L12/403
Filed: 1998-01-30
Abstract: An arbitration controller provides arbitration on a multipoint, high speed serial bus with a plurality of drivers.  Each driver includes a data input pin, an output enable pin, and an output pin.  The bus defaults to a first state when the output of the plurality of drivers are set to high impedance.  The arbitration controller eliminates any unstable output states on the drivers by controlling the input signals on the drivers.          The arbitration controller detects when the bus is in an arbitration mode.  When this is detected, the arbitration controller inputs data to the output enable pin and inputs an opposite state of the first state to the data input pin.  Further, the arbitration controller detects when the bus is in a data mode.  When this is detected, the arbitration controller inputs data to the data input pin and inputs a driver control signal to the output enable pin.

Title: Method for far-infrared drying of food under reduced pressure at low temperature
Inventor: ONO TAKUJI
IPC: A23L3/54
Filed: 1996-10-11
Abstract: Disclosed is a method of sterilizing and dewatering food in a shortened length of time, still permitting the processed food to remain an elongated length of time in good taste.        The inner pressure of the insulated dryer is raised by feeding nitrogen gas after evacuating the insulating dryer, and at the same time, pieces of food are exposed to the spray of ethanol, so that the oxygen gas remaining in the tissue of food may be replaced by nitrogen gas to prevent oxidization of food, and at the same time, ethanol penetrates the food well for sterilization. Next, the inner pressure of the insulating dryer is reduced by removing nitrogen gas therefrom, and the pieces of food are exposed to the far-infrared radiation to be heated, thus preventing evaporation of water from the pieces of food to prevent their temperature from being lowered, and expediting removal of water in the surrounding low-pressure atmosphere to provide semi-dried products.        The sterilization-and-water removal has the effect of extending the preservation period of dried food. Also advantageously, the dewatering of food at a low temperature has the effect of substantially preventing the discoloring and deteriorating of the dried food, permitting the long-lasting of good taste.
