Abstract: An optical fiber ring network (100) includes a plurality of interconnected nodes (104-1, 104-2, 104-3, 104-4), each pair of neighboring nodes being interconnected by a pair of optical links. Using coarse wavelength division multiplexing, data is transmitted in both directions over each link, using a first wavelength M to transmit data in a first direction over the link and a second wavelength .lambda.2 to transmit data in a second, opposite direction over the link. The two wavelengths .lambda.1 and .lambda.2 differ by at least 10nm. Each of the data streams transmitted over the optical link (102) has a bandwidth of at least 2.5 Gbps. Further, each data stream has at least two logical stream embedded therein. A link multiplexer (106) at each node of the network (100) includes one or more link cards (140-1, 140-2) for coupling the link multiplexer (106) to client devices (159), and one or more multiplexer units (142-1, 142-2) for coupling the link multiplexer (106) to the optical links. Each link card (140) includes frame buffers (152) capable of storing numerous Fibre Channel frames that are being transmitted to and from the client devices (159) coupled to that link card (140).

Abstract: A conductor is represented by a line. A plane on which the conductor crosses a plurality of sides in the planes forming a cell is divided by the conductor. In the planes obtained by the division, a plane containing the position in which the magnetic field intensity is obtained is processed as one plane as is, and a plane not containing the position is added to an adjacent plane. On the side crossing the conductor, the two values of the field intensity are defined. That is, the magnetic field intensity is obtained through the integral loop containing the conductor for each of the divided plane processed as one plane, and the plane to which the divided plane not processed as one plane is added.

Title: Protein/solubility folding assessed by structural complementation
Inventor: THOMAS PHILIP JORDAN
IPC: C12N15/09
Filed: 2001-02-14
Granted: 2010-08-10
Abstract: Many proteins, when produced recombinantly, suffer from improper processing, folding and lack normal solubility. Modified proteins, including those indicative of disease states, also can have such defects. The present invention is directed to methods of identifying proper and improper protein folding, aberrant processing and/or insolubility. The method relies on the use of two components: a specialized fusion protein and structural complementation. The fusion protein contains sequences from the protein of interest and one portion of a marker protein that, by itself, is not active. A host cell then provides the remainder of the marker protein that serves to "complement" the function of the fused marker protein such that their association restores activity, permitting detection.

Title: Process and apparatus for making nixtamalized corn flour
Inventor: RUBIO MANUEL J
IPC: A23L7/10
Filed: 2003-01-31
Granted: 2011-03-22
Abstract: A process and apparatus improvement for energy and particulate recovery during the production of nixtamalized corn flour, by precooking with a lime solution to effect partial cooking, reduced energy use for pre-cooking and washing by recycling hot water. Next, moisture content is stabilized, and the corn is milled and dried in a super-heated stream of air with reduced energy consumption by recycling waste hot air. Dust trapping is performed on a portion of waste hot air which is reused for preheating combustion air. Wet scrubbing of the remaining waste hot air is performed where heated water is reused and exhaust air vented. Cooling and further drying of the dried-milled particles follows. A fine grind or flour is separated and recovered from the coarse grind which is also aspirated to isolate a hull fraction as corn waste along with particulate collected after entrapping and scrubbing waste hot air.  Re-milling and sieving the coarse grind produces a corn flour for tortilla and the like.
