Abstract: The invention concerns a method for preparing 1,3-propanediol from a carbon-containing substance, said method comprising a step which consists in culturing a recombinant micro-organism not producing coenzyme B12 in the absence of coenzyme B12 or one of its precursors. The invention also concerns a nucleic acid coding for a glycerol dehydratase whereof the catalytic activity is independent of the presence of coenzyme B12 or one of its precursors and a nucleic acid coding for a 1,3-propanol dehydrogenase intervening in the synthesis of 1,3-propanediol. The invention further concerns recombinant vectors and host cells comprising said nucleic acids and the polypeptides coded by the latter.

Abstract: A heat and moisture exchanger including a gas-permeable element, preferably a fibrous media, adapted to be warmed and to trap moisture from a patient's breath during exhalation and to be cooled and to release the trapped moisture for return to the patient during inspiration to effectively conserve the humidity and body heat of the patient's respiratory tract, wherein the media comprises a hydrophilic nylon polymer. The gas-permeable element can be formed entirely of monocomponent fibers of the hydrophilic nylon polymer or, preferably, fibers comprising at least a sheath of the hydrophilic nylon polymer can be bonded at their points of contact by a bonding agent, such as a polyester. Bicomponent fibers comprising a sheath of the hydrophilic nylon polymer can be bonded by other bicomponent fibers comprising a sheath of the bonding agent, with all of the bicomponent fibers comprising a core of a thermoplastic polymer, such as polypropylene, to minimize the cost and increase the strength of the heat and moisture exchanger element.

Abstract: A new method of customized retrieval and presentation of information from a relational database is disclosed. The customization is achieved by modifying a first application for retrieval and presentation of information from a database in accordance with input provided by the user, at the time when the execution of the first application is requested by the user. The user input is solicited and gathered by a second application associated with the first application. After the user input is completed, the second application generates a script which modifies the first application. The modified first application is then executed and the requested information is retrieved and presented to the user in the form customized by the user input. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A new method and apparatus for music synthesis is provided. A chaotic system is driven onto a periodic orbit by a compressed initialization code. A one-dimensional, periodic waveform is then produced from the periodic orbit. A variety of periodic orbits produces a variety of sounds, which sounds approximate the sounds of different musical instruments. By sampling the amplitude of the periodic waveforms over time, a digital version of the sound is produced. The frequency and duration of a note to be synthesized are produced by sampling the periodic waveform at the proper rate to produce the desired frequency and then repeating the waveform to produce a note of the required duration.

Abstract: In an insert valve that can be mounted in an insert connector (3) of a fluid line (1)and that has a cylindrical presetting element (15), which is rotatable relative to a valve housing (5) via an adjustment ring (14) and a transmission element (12), and unrotatable relative to the transmission element (12), and that guides a valve rod (22) carrying the valve closing piece (28) to be displaced to a limited extent coaxially, relative to the valve seat, the presetting usually has an axially projecting wall part, which, in dependence of the rotary angle position of the presetting element leaves openings (34) open or covers them partially or completely. With complete covering, however, a leakage may occur, which is not desired. According to the invention, however, a rotation of the adjustment element (14) in relation to the valve seat (43) and the transmission element (12) displaces the presetting element (15) in the one direction axially until a first stop (31; 21) and in the other direction until the valve closing piece (28) bears on the valve seat (43). Thus, here the valve closing piece (28) provides a complete blocking of the flow when the kv-value is set at 0. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method of locating a billing area associated with a cell phone call initiated in an airborne cellular communications system (10) enables service providers to more accurately identify system user locations within the system's area of coverage. In operation, propagation delay and beam number location of an initiated call are identified to determine a current handset radial beam location. The propagation delay is then mapped to a stored closest corresponding radial geographic billing location, and the call is then associated with the closest corresponding radial geographic billing location. Additional system accuracy may be provided by determining azimuthal position within a beam footprint (116Ö) by determining a handoff location of a signal from a first beam to a second beam, and then mapping handoff information to a closest corresponding azimuthal geographic billing location. Both the closest corresponding radial and azimuthal geographic billing locations are then used to identify a current handset location. Such a system user location technique also enables an airborne system to comply with FCC E911 caller location requirements. <IMAGE>
