Abstract: The invention relates to at least one nucleotide sequence, derived from a nucleotide sequence encoding an acyltransferase polypeptide comprising at least one membrane-spanning region, encoding an improved active membrane independent acyltransferase polypeptide in which at least one amino acid residue of the membrane-spanning region has been deleted and/or substituted as compared to the original acyltransferase polypeptide, wherein the encoded active membrane independent acyltransferase polypeptide, wherein the encoded active membrane independent acyltransferase polypeptide can produce fatty acid esters and/or fatty acid thioesters such as triacylglycerols, diacylglycerols, monoacylglycerols, phospholipids, glycolipids, waxesters, acylated carbohydrates, acylated amino acids, and lysolipids, e.g. lysophospholipid, lysolecithin. Thereby one single acyltransferase can be used for the production of a huge number of products. The invention also relates to means and methods for the production of such an improved active membrane independent acyltransferase and the use of such a membrane independent acyltransferase in industry.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un appareil et des procédés permettant de déterminer si des données spectrales obtenues d'une région d'un échantillon de tissu (402) sont affectées par un artefact. Les artefacts comprennent, par exemple, des artefacts lumineux tels qu'un éblouissement et une ombre, et des artefacts d'obstruction, tels que du sang, un spéculum, un tube de fumée ou un autre artefact d'obstruction. Par ailleurs, cette invention concerne un appareil et des procédés permettant d'obtenir des données spectrales redondantes d'une région donnée d'un échantillon (402). Un ensemble redondant de données spectrales est utile lorsqu'un ou plusieurs artefacts affectent quelques ensembles, mais pas tous les ensembles, de données spectrales, de sorte que cet ensemble redondant de données ne soit pas affecté par les artefacts et soit représentatif du tissu. Un mode de réalisation de l'invention consiste à utiliser des données spectrales représentatives dans le diagnostic d'une pathologie d'une région tissulaire (402).

Abstract: Disclosed is an apparatus for generating an error detection information
bit sequence for determining a length of data sequence transmitted in a
communication system. The apparatus comprises a plurality of cascaded registers,
the number of which is identical to the number of bits in the error detection
information bit sequence, and a plurality of adders arranged on paths determined
by a predetermined generator polynomial, each of the adders adding a bit
sequence received through an input path to a feedback bit sequence. During
reception of the control information sequence, an operator generates the feedback
bit sequence by sequentially adding bits of the control information sequence to
output bits of a final register and provides the generated feedback bit sequence to
the adders. After completion of receiving the control information sequence, the
operator sequentially adds a preset input bit to output bits of the final register and
outputs the addition result as the error detection information bit sequence. An
initial value controller provides the registers with a selected one of two initial
values separately determined for the two data sequences.

Abstract: The present invention is a digital communication method that increases
the overall throughput of a multi-user detector-based co-channel multiple
access system in terms of the total number of bits transmitted through the
shared medium by all the users of the MA system if signals are allowed to
interfere. The total number of users can be increased if more dimensions are
used for assigning the transmitted signals and the same dimensions are
measured at the receiver. Specifically, the present invention does not require
any coordination among transmitters but simply requires a transmitter to send
its signal with either a randomly chosen polarization ellipse, or an assigned or
randomly chosen amplitude level.
