Title: Enzyme capable of reducing acetophenone and other carbonyl compounds and processes therefor
Inventor: HUMMEL WERNER
IPC: C12R1/225
Filed: 1991-05-07
Abstract: A phenylethanol dehydrogenase capable of catalyzing the reduction of acetophenone to R(+)-phenylethanol in the presence of NADPH was isolated from Lactobacilli such as Lactobacillus kefir. The dehydrogenase is also capable of catalyzing the reduction of aromatic, alicyclic and aliphatic ketones selected from the group consisting of p-bromoacetophenone, methylcyclohexanone, acetone, methyl hexyl ketone, 4-phenyl-2-butanone, 1-phenyl-1,2-propanedione, ethyl pentyl ketone, pinacolone, propiophenone and p-chloroacetophenone. The dehydrogenase is rapidly inactivated by EDTA, but conventional inhibitors, chelators and SH-protecting reagents have only a slight effect on activity. The enzyme has a K M of 6 x 10-4 M for acetophenone. The dehydrogenase is capable of catalyzing the enzymatic reduction of carbonyl compounds to form optically active hydroxy compounds in the presence of NADPH. In such reactions, NADPH can be simultaneously regenerated in the presence of glucose 6-P and glucose-6-P dehydrogenase or isopropanol.

Filed: 1991-06-05
Abstract: ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE    A robot programming method comprises analyzing the actual motions of a human being and designing a new motion based on knowledge obtained by analysis of the forces and torques acting on the joints of the human body.  A robot body is divided into a plurality of independent elements, and the motion of each element when a force corresponding to a basic motion of a human being is exerted thereon is calculated using dynamics.  Constraints including the articulation of the robot body and the range of movements of its joints are applied to the robot body.  Forces corresponding to motions produced by the application of constraints are calculated by inverse dynamics.  The motions of and forces acting on the elements of the robot body are displayed on a screen.

Title: Cache set selection for high-performance processor
Inventor: WHEELER WILLIAM R
IPC: G06F12/08
Filed: 1991-06-28
Abstract: CACHE SET SELECTION FOR HIGH PERFORMANCE PROCESSOR              ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE     A pipelined CPU executing instructions of variable length, and referencing memory using various data widths. Macroinstruction  pipelining  is  employed  (instead  of microinstruction pipelining), with queueing between units of the CPU to allow flexibility in instruction execution times.  A wide bandwidth is available for memory access; fetching 64-bit data blocks on each cycle.  A hierarchical cache arrangement has an improved method of cache set selection, increasing the likelihood of a cache hit.   A writeback cache  is used  (instead of writethrough)  and writeback is allowed to proceed even though other accesses are  suppressed  due  to  queues  being  full.    A  branch prediction method employs a branch history table which records the taken vs. not-taken history of branch opcodes recently used, and uses an empirical algorithm to predict which way the next occurrence of this branch will go, based upon  the  history  table.    A  floating  point  processor function is integrated on-chip, with enhanced speed due to a bypass technique; a trial mini-rounding is done on low-order bits of the result, and if correct, the last stage of the floating point processor can be bypassed, saving one cycle of latency.  For CAL type instructions, a method for determining which registers need to be saved is executed in a minimum number of cycles, examining groups of register mask bits at one time.  Internal processor registers are accessed with short (byte width) addresses instead of full physical addresses as used for memory and I/O references, but off-chip processor registers are memory-mapped and accessed by the same busses using the same controls as the memory and I/O.  If a non-recoverable error detected by ECC circuits in the cache, an error transition mode is entered wherein the cache operates under limited access rules, allowing a maximum of access by the system for data blocks owned by the cache, but yet minimizing changes to the cache data so that diagnostics may be run.  Separate queues are provided  for  the  return  data  from  memory  and  cache invalidates,  yet  the  order  or  bus  transactions  is maintained by a pointer arrangement.  The bus protocol used by the CPU to communicate with the system bus is of the pended type, with transactions on the bus identified by an ID field specifying the originator, and arbitration for bus grant   goes   one   simultaneously   with   address/data transactions on the bus.

Abstract: ABSTRACT      An apparatus for assembling a cover case and a channel binder includes a hopper containing several cover cases.  An applicator for applying adhesive on cover cases is positioned  adjacent the hopper.  A channel placer is adjacent the adhesive applicator.  A pusher assembly moves cover cases from the hopper and through the applicator where adhesive is applied to the back of each cover case. once adhesive has been applied to the back of the cover case, the pusher assembly moves the cover case to the channel placer.  In the channel placer, a channel is removed from a channel cartridge and placed on the adhesive on the back of the cover case.  Portions of the cover case with adhesive are then pressed to the bottom and sides of the cartridge, and the cover case with cartridge is moved to a storage hopper or to a station for securing an end sheet to the inside of the cover case.

Inventor: WEISS LEE E
IPC: C23C4/02
Filed: 1991-12-02
Abstract: Abstract A method and apparatus for forming a three-dimensional object by thermal spraying utilizes a plurality of masks positioned and removed over a work surface in accordance with a predetermined sequence.  The masks correspond to cross sections normal to a centerline through the workpiece.  One set of masks defines all cross sections through the workpiece.  A second set of masks contains at least one mask which corresponds to each mask of the first set.  Masks from each set are alternatively placed above a work surface and sprayed with either a deposition material from which the workpiece will be made or a complementary material.  In this manner, layers of material form a block of deposition material and complementary material.  Then, the complementary material which serves as a support structure during forming is removed.  Preferably, the complementary material has a lower melting temperature than the deposition material and is removed by heating the block.  Alternatively, one could mask only for the deposition material and remove complementary material overlying the deposition material after each spraying of complementary material.

Title: Method for simultaneous control of cleaning and hygiene and agent for use when carrying out the method
Inventor: FAMME PER B
IPC: C11D3/40
Filed: 1990-05-16
Abstract: For simultaneous control of cleaning and hygiene, in particular in the food industry and hospitals, an aqueous solution of an optionally fluorescent dye or a combination of such dyes which bind on organic material, including microorganisms, and colour them in the process is applied onto the surfaces which are to be cleaned.  An organic contamination, if any, of the surfaces will then show itself by colouring thereof. Among the usable dyes the disodium salt of 2,4,5,7-tetraiodofluorescein is preferred. Hereby the disadvantages attached to the known methods of controlling the hygiene level at work sites and in institutions are avoided, in particular the time delay of as much as 4 days caused by the fact that samples taken out must first be incubated. By the method of the present invention immediate information about the state of the hygiene is obtained.
