Title: Regulatory system for inducible expression of genes with lambdoid promoters
Inventor: MERTENS NICO MAURICE AUGUST CORNEEL
IPC: C07K14/01
Filed: 1998-04-23
Granted: 2010-04-20
Abstract: The invention relates to a regulation system for inducible expression of genes, comprising a lambdoid promoter, a gene coding for a repressor for the lambdoid promotor and a gene coding for an antirepressor of the repressor, which antirepressor is under the influence of an inducible promotor. The invention further relates to a regulatory replicon, comprising said gene coding for an antirepressor, an expression system, comprising said regulatory replicon, and an expression vector based on a lambdoid promotor, and also to a method for producing a gene product in a heterologous host, by providing a culture of a host comprising a heterologous sequence which codes for the gene product, wherein the expression of the heterologous sequence is under the control of a regulation system, a gene coding for a repressor for the lambdoid promotor and a gene coding for an antirepressor, and by inducing the promotor of the antirepressor gene.

Abstract: Imaging of lithographic printing plates with reduced fluence requirements is accomplished using printing members that have a solid substrate, gas-producing and radiation-absorptive layers over the substrate, and a topmost layer that contrasts with the substrate in terms of lithographic affinity.      Exposure of the radiation-absorptive layer to laser light causes this layer to become intensely hot. This, in turn, activates the gas-producing layer, causing rapid evolution and expansion of gaseous decomposition products. The gases stretch the overlying topmost layer to create a bubble over the exposure region, where the imaging layers have been destroyed.      If this process is sufficiently explosive, the neck of the bubble expands beyond the diameter of the incident laser beam, tearing the topmost layer and the underlying imaging layers away from the substrate outside the exposed region. The entire affected area is easily removed during a post-imaging cleaning process, resulting in an image spot larger than the incident beam diameter.

Patent CA-2311504-C (CA)

IPC: A63H29/00

Granted: 2008-12-02
Abstract: The robot ball comprises an encapsulating shell, a drive system and a steering system. The shell has an axis of rotation and an outer annular tread surface centered on the axis of rotation. The drive system is encapsulated in the shell and comprises a first motorized mechanism and a counterweight. The first motorized mechanism has a stator portion and a rotor portion centered on the axis of rotation and connected to the shell. The counterweight is connected to the stator portion and is spaced apart from the axis of rotation whereby, due to inertia of the counterweight, rotation of this rotor portion rotates the shell to roll the tread surface on the ground. The steering system comprises a second motorized mechanism through which the counterweight is connected to the stator portion. This second motorized mechanism includes a pivot assembly having a pivot axis transversal to the axis of rotation. Therefore, activation of the second motorized mechanism rotates the counterweight about the pivot axis, tilts the axis of rotation, displaces the center of gravity of the robot ball, and thereby changes the trajectory of the robot ball. An inclinometer is mounted on the stator portion to measure an inclination of the stator portion about the axis of rotation, and a controller regulates the speed of rotation of the rotor portion in relation to the measured inclination. The robot ball further includes a second inclinometer so mounted on the platform as to measure an inclination about the pivot axis. The controller then controls the electric servomotor in relation to the measured platform inclination about the pivot axis.

Granted: 2007-02-06
Abstract: The invention provides that a two conductor electric blanket has a meltdown layer between the conductors, and this meltdown layer is of a Negative Temperature Characteristic (NTC) as regards its resistance. A  control circuit is coupled to the conductors and when there is overheating, the NTC layer allows a leakage current to flow between the conductors, before the meltdown layer actually melts, to stop the supply of power to the conductors, whereby melting of the meltdown layer (which destroys the future utility of the blanket) is avoided, and the blanket can be reused.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for collecting and securely transmitting biometric data over a network contains a sensor, preferably a camera, for collecting biometric data and code generating hardware and software. The camera data is digitized and a unique code which is a function of the digitized camera data, a secret key and a transaction token is attached to the digital file. The code may identify the sensor which acquired the biometric information, a time at which the biometric information was acquired, or a time interval during which the data is considered to be valid, and a unique transaction code. The data and code are transmitted over a network to a server which authenticates that the data has not been altered by recomputing the code using its own knowledge of the secret key and transaction token needed to generate the code. If the data is authentic the server then computes a biometric template using the data. This biometric template is then compared to a previously defined biometric template to identify the user and give the user access to a secured resource. The system can be used for online banking and Internet commerce transactions.
