Filed: 2007-05-01
Abstract: This invention relates to the use of hydroxybutyrate and poly hydroxybutyrate as components of animal feed or feed additives, as well as to compositions, feed additives and feed containing them. The inventors surprisingly found that hydroxybutyrate and poly- hydroxybutyrate, preferably 3 -hydroxybutyrate and poly-3 -hydroxybutyrate, have a great potential for use in animal feed for modulation of the gut flora. More precisely, it has been found that poly-3 -hydroxybutyrate or a microbial strain capable for producing poly-3- hydroxybutyrate can be used as a potential growth promoter or gut flora modulator by releasing SCFA, preferably 3 -hydroxy butyric acid, in the gut micro flora. Further, the inventors found that 3 -hydroxybutyrate and poly-3 -hydroxybutyrate have a great potential for suppressing or inhibiting pathogenic bacteria in the gastro intestinal tract, e.g. have a antimicrobial activity against strains of Vibrio, E.coli and Salmonella.

Title: Method and system for reducing contexts for context based compression systems
Inventor: CHAN STEVEN
IPC: G06F17/27
Filed: 2008-02-29
Abstract: For context based compression techniques, for example Context Based YK compression, a method and system for grouping contexts from a given context model together to cre-ate a new context model that has fewer contexts, but retains ac-ceptable compression gains compared to the context model with more contexts is provided. According to an exemplary embodi-ment a set of files that are correlated to the file to be compressed (hereafter called training files) are read to determine, for an ini-tial context model, the empirical statistics of contexts and sym-bols. In some embodiments, this includes determining the esti-mated joint and conditional probabilities of the various contexts and symbols (or blocks of symbols). The initial context model is then reduced to a desired number of contexts, for example, by applying a grouping function g to the original set of contexts to obtain a new and smaller set of contexts. In some embodiments the step of applying a grouping function comprises iteratively grouping a pair of contexts together to form a grouped context, wherein each grouped context represents a local minimum based on the empirical statistics.
