Abstract: Disclosed are isolated polynucleotides encoding an omega-3 desaturase and a delta-12 desaturase, the enzymes encoded by the isolated polynucleotides, vectors containing the isolated polynucleotides, transgenic hosts that contain the isolated polynucleotides that express the enzymes encoded thereby, methods for producing the desaturase enzymes, and method of using the enzymes to make polyunsaturated fatty acids. The isolated polynucleotides are derived from a fungus, Saprolegnia diclina (ATCC 56851). In particular, omega-3-desaturase may be utilized, for example, in the conversion of arachidonic acid (AA) to eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). Delta-12 desaturase may be used, for example, in the conversion of oleic acid (OA) to linoleic (LA). EPA or polyunsaturated fatty acids produced therefrom may be added to pharmaceutical compositions, nutritional compositions, animal feeds, as well as other products such as cosmetics.

Abstract: A residual current detection circuit comprises a current transformer CT for detecting an imbalance current indicative of a residual current and a full wave restifier FWR for providing an output whose amplitude corresponds to the magnitude of the residual current. The FWR output is applied simultaneously to two channels. The first channel includes a first comparator COMP 1 to provide a first signal which persists during periods when the amplitude of the output exceeds a first level. The second channel includes a capacitor C 2 which acquires a charge corresponding to the output level and a second comparator COMP 2 for providing a second signal in response to the capacitor voltage exceeding a second level. An output is provided from the circuit only when the first signal is coincident with the second signal.

Abstract: In an inter-labia pad comprising an absorbing body for absorbing bodily fluid and a cover material for covering the absorbing body, the cover material has a human body-side face that faces the labia of a wearer and an absorbing body-side face that faces the absorbing body. The absorbing body includes a labia-following layer and a bodily liquid-storing layer. The labia-following layer, together with the cover material, deforms in accordance with the shape of the wearer's labia, and the bodily liquid storing-layer is in contact with the labia-following layer so that bodily liquid can move from the labia-following layer to the liquid-storing layer. The pad can be reliably fit to subtle shapes of the wearer's urethral opening, private parts, etc.; therefore the pad provides excellent appearance, and prevents bodily liquid from leaking without giving the wearer sense of discomfort. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A retracting seal for the underside of a door has a U-shaped support strip driven by a servo drive between a retracted position and an extended sealing position. An elastic U-shaped sealing strip is clipped over the support strip and has a profiled sealing end pressed onto the floor by the servo drive. The upper flanges of the support strip are angled outwards. The upper flanges of the sealing strip normally lie against the sloping edges of the support strip and are pressed into a sealing position when the support strip is extended. This ensures that the friction forces on the sealing strip only apply in the final phase of the seal deployment, with a considerable reduction in wear and tear of the sealing strip.

Abstract: A one-way valve device comprises a valve seat arranged in the neck of a container that extends transversely across the interior of the neck and defines a plurality of passage openings. A pin-like projection is formed on the valve seat and extends axially to the exit opening. An elastic seal is held on the valve seat and comprises a sleeve-like section which surrounds the projection of the valve seat with the exception of its end section which rests on the end section of the projection. Applying pressure to the contents of the container axially displaces the sleeve-like part of the seal relative to the pin-like projection, so that the contents of the container can exit. In the closed position, an annular projection of an outer cap firmly presses the sleeve-like section of the seal against the projection of the valve seat, so that no container contents can exit.
