Patent ZA-949799-B (ZA)
Title: Dextranase enzyme method for its production and DNA encording the enzyme
Inventor: CAMPANA HERNAN ROCA
IPC: C12N9/46
Filed: 1994-12-08
Abstract: A method for the isolation and expression of a gene coding for dextranase of the fungus Penicillium minioluteum. This enzyme of fungal origin is produced by expression at high levels in yeast. For this purpose, a cDNA copy of the mRNA coding for dextranase enzyme of the Penicillium minioluteum fungus was isolated and sequenced. This cDNA was transfered into Pichia pastoris cells. Recombinant yeasts capable of secreting dextranase to the culture medium were obtained thereby. The dextranase enzyme obtained can be used, e.g. in the sugar industry to hydrolyze the dextran in cane juices to increase the sugar production.

IPC: A61K9/34
Filed: 1995-03-16
Abstract: A novel delivery system for targeting drugs to the colon is comprised of three parts: (1) an enteric coating to prevent penetration of gastric fluid into the delivery system, thereby preventing any drug release in the stomach; (2) an erodible polymer layer which is exposed and gradually erodes during transit through the upper intestinal tract, and (3) a core, which is a conventional tablet or beadlet containing an active ingredient(s), which readily disintegrates and subsequently releases the drug to the target site, the colon, after erosion of the erodible polymer layer.

Title: Global serial channel for microcontroller
Inventor: HAYEK GEORGE
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 1988-01-11
Granted: 1991-04-10
Abstract: The present invention is directed to an onboard multiprotocol communications controller global serial channel ("GSC"). The GSC as disclosed and claimed herein is for use with an 8-bit microcontroller for intelligent communications with peripheral systems or components. The microcontroller and GSC are implemented on a single integrated circuit chip. The microcontroller is a derivative of the 8051 series of microcontrollers sold by INTEL Corporation. The invented GSC interface supports synchronous data link control (SDLC), carrier-sense multi-access with collision detection (CSMA/CD), and user definable (non-standard) protocols. The flexibility in defining non-standard protocols provides the ability to retrofit new products into older serial technologies, as well as the development of proprietary interconnect schemes for serial backplane environments. The GSC operates in full duplex or half-duplex mode and performs cyclic redundancy checking (CRC) for 16 or 32 bits. Data encoding is in Manchester, NRZI or NRZ formats. The GSC may be accessed directly by the processor of the microcontroller or through a direct memory access (DMA) channel.

Title: Optical repeater
Inventor: ISHIMURA KATSUHIRO
IPC: H04B10/29
Filed: 1993-06-30
Granted: 1996-02-14
Abstract: Each optical repeater in an optical transmission system includes an optical amplifier, and a control circuit for controlling the optical transmission. Furthermore, each optical repeater transmits management information to the next optical repeater. The control circuit checks the status of the optical amplifier and obtains monitoring information. The control circuit generates management information in accordance with the monitoring information and the management information transmitted from the upstream side optical repeater. The management information is converted to an optical signal and transmitted to the next optical repeater. A receiving station receives the management information. The management information includes an ID code for an optical repeater which has failed and the status of the failure. Different categories of management information have priorities which can be changed by the receiving station, and thus the receiving station can detect the status of the optical transmission line easily and flexibly.

Title: Alpha-olefin(s) dimerisation process
Inventor: CLERICI MARIO GABRIELE
IPC: C08G/
Filed: 1986-10-22
Granted: 1989-12-20
Abstract: The system generates a digital pixel image in a framestore memory (20) by expanding run-length encoded data stored in a command memory (22). Each pixel has a variable characteristic such as its colour, or its depth in a 3-D image. The value of the characteristic for each written pixel is determined from the run-length encoded characteristic. The value of the characteristic for each pixel in the run is determined from a reference parameter which determines the initial value of the characteristic, and a difference parameter which represents the change in the value along the length of the run. The coordinates of the pixel runs may be determined from the coordinates of a preceding run. The initial location and run length for each run are determined relative to the preceding run by delta parameters associated with the current run. The system generates linear colour blends and automatically depth-clips images being written into the framestore (20).
