Abstract: A modified Family 11 xylanase enzyme comprising cysteine residues at positions 99 and 118 to form an intramolecular disulfide bond is provided. The modified xylanase is produced by substitution of an amino acid at position 99, 118 or both positions 99 and 118 with a cysteine to produce the intramolecular disulfide bond. Xylanases of the invention display improved thermophilicity, alkalophilicity or thermostability relative to wild-type xylanases. Such xylanases find use in a variety of applications in industry that require enzyme activities at temperatures and/or pH values above that of the native enzyme.

Abstract: A method to align a discharge axis of a discharge radiation source with respect to optics of the lithographic apparatus includes creating a discharge in a substance in a discharge space between an anode and a cathode to form a plasma so as to generate electromagnetic radiation. The discharge is triggered by irradiating an area on a surface proximate the discharge space with an energetic beam. The position of the area is controlled in response to a property of the radiation in the lithographic apparatus and/or the temperature of a collector of the lithographic apparatus. Controlling the position of the area which is irradiated improves alignment of the discharge axis with the different lithographic modules, such as the contamination barrier, the illumination system, the substrate table and/or the projection system.

Abstract: A method and apparatus is disclosed for measurement processing of Satellite Positioning System (SPS) signals. A plurality of SPS signals from a corresponding plurality of SPS satellites are received in an SPS receiver. The signal environment corresponding to the location in which the SPS receiver is located is characterized to produce signal environment data. In one exemplary embodiment, an information source, such as a cellular network based database, is searched to retrieve the signal environment data given an approximate location of the GPS receiver. This approximate location may be specified by a location of a cell site which is in cellular radio communication with a cellular communication device which is co-located with the GPS receiver. One or more parameters related to signal characteristics of the satellite signals are defined. Threshold values for the parameters are determined using the signal environment data. Code phases corresponding to times of arrival of respective satellite signals from the plurality of satellites are measured. The data representing measured times of arrival are examined using threshold values for the parameters to produce a set of times of arrival from which a location fix for the GPS receiver is calculated. Other methods and apparatuses for other embodiments of the invention are also described.

Abstract: L'invention porte sur une composition pharmaceutique liquide de toxine botulinique qui présente une stabilité améliorée. Cette composition comprend une toxine botulinique, du polysorbate 20 et de la méthionine et, éventuellement, de l'isoleucine. En utilisant, à la place de la protéine albumine ou gélatine issue d'un animal, une combinaison de polysorbate 20 et de méthionine et, éventuellement, d'isoleucine, en tant que stabilisants de la toxine botulinique, la composition pharmaceutique liquide ne risque pas de contaminer le corps humain par des pathogènes ou des micro-organismes issus du sérum, et elle peut être administrée sans danger. En outre, la composition peut commodément être utilisée par injection directe à des patients. Supérieure aux compositions classiques employant soit des détergents, soit des acides aminés en termes de stabilité au stockage de la toxine botulinique à 25-37 °C ainsi qu'à des températures de réfrigération, la composition pharmaceutique liquide de la présente invention est très utile pour stocker la toxine botulinique dans une situation exceptionnelle, telle qu'un environnement sans possibilité de maintien d'une basse température. La composition pharmaceutique liquide peut être facilement préparée en raison du fait qu'elle utilise un détergent et un ou plusieurs acides aminés sans traitement de lyophilisation.
