Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing optically active cyanhydrins by reacting oxo compounds, such as for example aldehyde and/or ketone with hydrogen cyanide and/or with a cyanide donor in the presence of an inclusion compound which contains an oxynitrilase with an increased molecular weight. According to said method, an oxynitrilase is used, whose molecular weight is first increased by cross-linkage and which is subsequently converted into a gel inclusion compound and/or a gel complex compound, said conversions occurring substantially in two independent steps. The method which is carried out in particular at temperatures of between - 10 and + 30  DEG C and at pH values of between 3.0 and 6.0, preferably in an aqueous or hydrous system, but also in organic solvents, uses a component which contains enzymes. In said component, the molecular-weight of the enzyme has been increased, in particular by co-cross-linkage or by flocculation and said enzyme is used either in a free form or is enclosed by natural or artificial cells. A deciding factor in this method is the fact that the enzyme is enclosed by or complexed in a gel, which results in negligibly small attrition and leaching losses at a practically constant high level of enzyme activity, rendering the method extremely effective and economic.

Abstract: <P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent a controllability from being deteriorated by eliminating a displacement between the mechanical opening of a throttle valve and the indicated value of opening caused by the temperature characteristics of a throttle sensor.  <P>SOLUTION: A difference between an intake air amount GA and an ISC flow ISCGA at idle is calculated as an air amount displacement amount DGA2 (S203), it is determined whether a difference between the learned value of air amount displacement amount DGA and an air amount displacement amount DGA2 comes within a set range (S204, S205) and, according to the results of the determination, a corrected opening value QADJ is increased, decreased, or held (S206, S207, S208). An ISC opening and the corrected opening value QADJ are added to a target throttle opening to form a final target throttle opening. Thus the displacement between the mechanical opening of the throttle valve and the indicated value of the opening due to the temperature characteristics of the throttle sensor is eliminated, and even when temperature conditions are changed, the converging capability of an actual speed to a target speed is increased, and a rotating stability is assured.  <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2003,JPO
