Title: A method for killing cells without cell lysis
Inventor: LAWLIS VIRGIL B JR
IPC: C12N1/00
Filed: 1990-06-13
Granted: 1993-09-16
Abstract: This invention provides a method for killing fungal cells without lysing in fermentation processes in order to prepare the fermentation mixture for processing to recover or extract an extracellularly expressed enzyme from the fermentation mixture. A preferred method of this invention comprises adjusting the pH of the fermentation mixture to less than 2.79 using a mineral acid, then adding sufficient acetic acid to the mixture to affect a substantially complete cell kill in mixture. A salt of the acetic acid can be used. The organic acid or salt can be added, then the pH adjusted to the desired level. Other organic acids can be used, in which case the pH of the mixture is adjusted to the pKa of the selected organic acid before the organic acid is added to the mixture. The method of this invention is useful for stopping the growth and killing the cells in any micro-organism, culture or fermentation such as those containing yeast, bacteria or fungi and is particularly useful in systems where it is desired to kill the cells without lysing them.

Title: A method of reducing the influence of fading of a viterbi- receiver having at least two antennas
IPC: H04B7/08
Filed: 1991-02-15
Granted: 1993-02-25
Abstract: Signals in synchronizing sequences and data sequences are transmitted over a fading channel to a Viterbi-receiver (11, 12). The signals are received by antennas and sampled to received antenna signals (sin,r(k)). Part channel estimates (hest,r) for the individual antennas are formed. For Viterbi-analysis, assumed input signals (sa,r( DELTA Tij,k)) for the data sequence are produced with the aid of the part channel estimates (hest,r). Part metric values (mr( DELTA Tij,k)) are formed as a difference between the received antenna signal (s,in,r(k)) and corresponding assumed input signals (sa,r( DELTA  Tij,k)) for Viterbi state transitions ( DELTA Tij). For one state transition there is formed a metric value such as the sum of a metric value ((M(Tj,k-1)) for an old state (Tj) at a preceding sampling time point (k-1) increased with a weighted (Kr) sum of the part metric values (mr( DELTA Tij,k)) belonging to individual part channel estimates (hest,r). Corresponding metric values are formed for all state transitions to the new state (Ti) and the smallest of these metric values is chosen in accordance with the Viterbi-algorithm.
