Abstract: Novel methods and novel alkalophilic  Bacillus 
strains are provided for the production of polypeptides of
interest, preferably serine proteases. Plasmid constructs
comprising the serine protease gene are introduced into a
compatible host, generally a  Bacillus  already overproducing
serine protease. Preferred host cells are those from  Bacillus

originates from  Bacillus  PB92. Integration and maintenance of
the plasmid in the host cell chromosome can be achieved by
including a temperature sensitive origin of replication in the
plasmid construct and growing under selective conditions.

Abstract: Data transfer mode between a plurality of circuit modules
connected to a data bus is dynamically switched between a time
division, space-division multiplexing and so forth for
improving data transfer efficiency. For example, the data bus
of 4n bit width is used as two data bus of 2n bit width in
certain period (transfer mode "b"), as one data bus of 4n bit
width in a certain period (transfer mode "a"), and further as
four data bus of n bit width in a further certain period
(transfer mode "c"). A command of switching of the transfer
mode is performed by a transfer control circuit common to
respective circuit modules. In response to command of the
transfer mode, switching of the bit width of data and switching
of the bus connecting condition are performed by the bus adapter
circuit.

Abstract: Some of the raised tread block areas (1) have fine cuts (2a,2b) and the projection from the base of the cut forms a rib in the region closest to the cut base. The outer ends (7a,7b) of the projections broaden out to form a circular shape when viewed perpendicular to the cut. Independent claims are also included for: (a) lamellae which have slit-like openings extending from their free end into a circular shaped cut-out facing the root of the lamellae; and (b) a tire vulcanizing mold including the lamellae. Preferred Features: The radial length of the rib is greater than its width which is constant in the area close to the base of the cut. The radial distance of the broadened area of the projections to the tire tread surface can vary. When viewed perpendicular to the tread surface the cuts (2a,2b) form a honeycomb of regular hexagons, those at the edges of the raised tread areas being open to the outer edges.

Abstract: Method for managing connections on a connection-oriented
network (114) such as an ATM network, for use with
devices communicating according to a connectionless
communication protocol such as IP over Ethernet. Roughly
described, a bridging network element (BNE) resides at
the ATM point-of-presence (122) through which a data network
(112) accesses the ATM network. When the BNE receives an
internet ARP (IARP) request from the data network for
forwarding onto the ATM network, it forwards it instead
to an IARP server. In addition to responding to the
IARP request, the IARP server also regards the IARP
request as a trigger, and in response thereto, causes
the ATM network to establish a connection between the
BNE point-of-presence and another point-of-presence on
the ATM network through which the target address can be
reached. Connection time-out periods are chosen to
exceed or to be very likely to exceed the address
resolution cache age-out periods on the client devices,
thereby ensuring that after a connection timeout, the
client device will or will be very likely to transmit
another IARP request before it begins streaming
transmission of more data packets onto the ATM network.
