Patent CA-2403259-A1 (CA)
Title: Method for determination of gene function
Inventor: SHARPE PAMELA L
IPC: C12Q1/6897
Filed: 2001-03-21
Abstract: The present method is useful for the identification of genes, ORF's and other nucleic acid molecules which are essential for the expression of a specific phenotype in microorganisms. The method employs in vitro transposition in conjunction with an chromosomal integration vector containing a specific gene or genetic element whose function is unknown. Subsequent transformation of a recombination proficient host with the vector and growth first under non-integrating conditions and then under integrating conditions, followed by a selection screen for either single or double crossover events results in transformants that may be subjected to phenotypic screens to determine gene function.

Title: Method for controlling machines and an information system for operating a machine
Inventor: FLEUTER MARKUS
IPC: G05B19/4063
Filed: 2001-04-07
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for controlling machines, especially decanters and separators, according to which operational states, such as current consumption, temperature, conveying speeds, etc. are detected on the machine and are compiled and stored in a computer. The data is subsequently transmitted to a second computer in order to be able to analyze this data. The analysis involves the comparison of the actual state with a set state in order to, in the case of a deviation located outside of the tolerance zone, generate an error message that is then automatically output by the second computer to a peripheral unit and/or to additional computers. To this end, an adaptive multi-layer mathematical model of the machine and of the process is generated. According to the invention, an information system for operating a machine is also provided with which the control method can be executed. Potential error states on the machine can be identified early by the automatic detection and relaying of the operational states so that they can be intervened with before damage occurs.
