Abstract: The invention relates to methods and compositions for site-specific recombinase-mediated mobilization of viral replicons and associated DNAs of interest from T-DNA. The methods of the invention comprise Agrobacterium-mediated transfer of T-DNA to a plant cell, wherein the T-DNA contains a viral replicon flanked by directly repeated target sites for a site-specific recombinase and optionally a DNA of interest linked to the viral replicon. The DNA of interest may also contain a non-identical target site for the recombinase. An expression cassette for the site-specific recombinase is present on the T-DNA or the plant genome, or is transiently introduced into the plant cell. Expression of the site-specific recombinase in the plant cell results in excision of the viral replicon and the associated DNA of interest. The viral replicon and DNA of interest are then replicated to high copy number in the host plant cell.

Abstract: The invention provides novel beta-lactamase inhibitors, which are structurally unrelated to the natural product and semi-synthetic beta-lactamase inhibitors presently available, and which do not possess beta-lactam pharmacophore. These new inhibitors are fully synthetic, allowing ready access to a wide variety of structurally related analogs. Certain embodiments of these new inhibitors also bind bacterial DD-peptidases, thus potentially acting both as beta-lactamase inhibitors and as antibiotics.

Abstract: A method of separating enantiomeric lactam esters. The lactam esters are contacted with a biocatalyst, such as an enzyme or a microorganism, in a solution wherein only one enantiomer is selectively hydrolyzed to give the optically active isomer of the corresponding acid. The hydrolysis product is then separated from the unreacted lactam esters. The enzyme is then recycled for reuse in the next enzymatic resolution. The undesired isomer is also racemized and reused in the next enzymatic resolution.

Inventor: DAMIANI CHERSONI MAURIZIO
IPC: B60R/
Filed: 1995-02-09
Granted: 1998-08-19
Abstract: The invention consists in the essential elimination of the present operating limits of anti-theft devices for motor vehicles, which use radio-frequency transmission systems to switch on or off the control and locking units of the vehicles. In particular, it consists in reducing the signal transmission power, in order to make the recording of the codes used less feasible, or at least less visible; integrating the connection between the transmitter unit (transponder) and the receiver unit (receiver module) in such a way as to enable the engine to be turned off regardless of the specific signal sent by the remote controller. Both units include microprocessors whose application software is used to manage not only the data for transmission and the access recording and activation of the commands (password), but also encoded signals separated by a specified time constant. This provides a kind of continuous surveillance which makes it impossible for other persons to use the vehicle without the express consent of the owner. <IMAGE>

Title: Lock with knobs and bolt operating with a spring and key
Inventor: LORETI ELISABETTA
IPC: E05B/
Filed: 1992-06-30
Granted: 1996-12-20
Abstract: The lock with knobs and bolt operating with a spring and key is suitable for fitting to the doors of offices, hotels, communities, etc. and preferably for fitting to doors where opening and closing of the door is frequent and is normally performed by a spring bolt operated by internal and/or external handles. By the direct operation of a handle or by operation of a knob after enablement by a "key-operated lock" fitted to the handle itself, the bolt is caused to perform a stroke increasing the stroke with respect to the spring. The lock described by the invention then passes from spring operation to rigid bolt operation and vice versa. The lock with knobs and bolt operating with a spring and key is built to be the same size and shape as the previous lock with knobs so that it can be fitted without difficulty to existing doors to replace the lock with knobs presently fitted.
