Abstract: A pivoting sailing rig adapted for use on a vehicle, such as a watercraft, includes a frame with spaced apart primary shafts which are oriented to rotate about and move axially along axes which are generally parallel to the center line or fore-aft axis of the watercraft. Wing sails are mounted on coupling elements secured to the primary shafts and are connected to rigging for rotating the wing sails about their longitudinal axes to vary the angle of attack, respectively. The primary shafts include control arms and rigging for rotating the primary shafts between substantially upright positions of the wing sails and laterally declined and reefed positions of the wing sails. The wing sails may include solar collectors mounted thereon and may be oriented in use to take advantage of wind as well as sunlight conditions to optimize sailing as well as energy collection.

Abstract: A single reaction vessel process for the synthesis of a sialylated galactoside is disclosed. The synthesis utilizes a  beta -galactosidase to catalyze the reaction of a galactose-containing substrate and an acceptor to form a new galactosyl glycoside that is then sialylated using a cyclic multienzyme synthesis system to form CMP-sialic acid that sialylates the formed galactosyl glycoside in the presence of an  alpha -sialyltransferase. The value of Km/Vmax for the formed galactosyl glycoside as a substrate for the  alpha -sialyltransferase is less than one-third the Km/Vmax value for the galactose-containing substrate for that  alpha -sialyltransferase.

Abstract: An optical system includes a window made of a curved piece of a transparent material having an inner surface and an outer surface. The inner surface has a nominal inner surface shape defined by a first conicoidal relationship, and the outer surface has a nominal general aspheric surface shape. The optical system also typically includes a sensor and an optical train on the side of the inner surface of the window. The accuracy of the shape of the inner surface is tested by directing a coherent light beam through a remote focus of the inner surface, reflecting the light beam from the inner surface toward an adjacent focus of the inner surface, reflecting the light beam from a spherical reflector at the adjacent focus of the inner surface and back toward the inner surface, reflecting the light beam from the inner surface back toward the remote focus, and interferometrically comparing the reflected beam arriving at the remote focus with a reference beam.
