Abstract: The present invention relates to high efficiency methods and compositions for stably integrating exogenous double-stranded DNA into the chromosomal DNA of sperm cells. The exogenous DNA to be integrated into the sperm is converted to a linear double stranded DNA possessing single-stranded cohesive ends, by contacting said exogenous DNA with a type II restriction enzyme that upon scission, generates such ends. The DNA to be cut can be a circular DNA such as in a plasmid, such that it possesses at least one recognition and cutting site outside of the genes or regulatory regions critical to the desired, post-integration function of the DNA, and no recognition and cutting sites within the critical regions. The exogenous DNA is then introduced into sperm cells, as is some of the type II restriction enzyme used above to generate the single-stranded cohesive ends on the exogenous DNA. The DNA and the corresponding restriction enzyme can be introduced into the sperm cells, together or sequentially, by electroporation or lipofection or by any other technique that preserves enough of said sperm's mobility and fertilization functions. The sperm containing the integrated exogenous DNA can then be used to fertilize eggs by artificial insemination, in vitro fertilization, or other fertilization methods known in the art, thereby producing transgenic animals wherein all or a plurality of cells now contain the exogenous DNA stably integrated into their respective genomes. The present invention also relates to transgenic animals or their descendants produced by methods or compositions herein disclosed. The present invention further relates to cells or cell lines derived from transgenic animals or their descendants produced by methods or compositions herein disclosed. The present invention further relates to proteins or other gene products encoded for by the exogenously introduced DNA isolated from said transgenic animals or their descendants. The present invention further relates to using the method of the present invention to produce transgenic animals resistant to diseases, and to the disease-resistant animals thereby produced.

Abstract: Systems and methods for storing, or caching, VC descriptors on a single-chip network processor to enhance system performance. The single-chip network processor includes an on-chip cache memory that stores VC descriptors for fast retrieval. When a VC descriptor is to be retrieved, a processing engine sends a VC descriptor identifier to a content-addressable memory (CAM), which stores VC descriptor identifiers in association with addresses in the cache where associated VC descriptors are stored. If the desired VC descriptor is stored in the cache, the CAM returns the associated address to the processing engine and the processing engine retrieves the VC descriptor from the cache memory. If the VC descriptor is not stored in the cache, the CAM returns a miss signal to the processing engine, and the processing engine retrieves the VC descriptor from an off-chip memory. In this manner, VC descriptors associated with high bandwidth VCs are stored to the cache and retrieved much quicker from the cache than from the off-chip memory.

Abstract: Cette invention concerne un conteneur à pompe manuelle qui permet d'assurer un écoulement normal et régulier du liquide contenu. A cette fin, on empêche l'air extérieur qui est aspiré dans le conteneur afin d'éviter toute dépression dans le corps de ce dernier, de pénétrer dans un tuyau de dérivation lorsque ledit conteneur est utilisé en position inversée. Une soupape d'inversion (20) permet de dériver l'alimentation en liquide contenu vers une pompe manuelle (1) lorsque le corps (50) du conteneur passe d'une position debout en une position inversée. Le liquide contenu peut ainsi s'écouler sous pression même lorsque le conteneur est en position inversée. Un orifice situé dans un passage à l'intérieur du corps (50) du conteneur permet à l'air extérieur de pénétrer dans ledit corps (50) du conteneur afin d'y éviter toute dépression. Cet orifice est disposé à l'arrière d'un corps de couvercle (40), tandis que la soupape d'inversion (20) est inclinée vers l'avant et vers le bas, et montée dans la partie inférieure du corps de couvercle (40). L'air extérieur qui pénètre sous forme de bulles montantes dans le liquide contenu est ainsi maintenu à l'écart d'un ouverture traversante (26) formée dans la soupape d'inversion (20) pour aspirer le liquide contenu. La disposition de la soupape d'inversion (20) sur un siège de soupape en vue d'une fonction de robinet d'arrêt est stabilisée et permet d'en simplifier la fixation.

Title: Bi-directional ac/dc voltage regulator
Inventor: GREENWOOD SIMON RICHARD
IPC: H02M3/335
Filed: 1999-03-01
Granted: 2009-05-13
Abstract: The invention provides a bi-directional voltage regulator having a controller, an input circuit and an output circuit, the input and output circuits being capacitively coupled one to the other and being symmetrical one relative to the other, wherein each circuit comprises two terminals (AC1, AC2; AC3, AC4) across which are connected a capacitor (C2a; C2b) and, in parallel with the capacitor (C2a; C2b), a series connection of an inductor (L1; L2) and a switching network (S1; S2) controlled by the controller. Each switching network (S1; S2) has two branches in anti-parallel, of which each branch permits only uni-directional current flow and at least one branch comprises a switching means. If one branch only of each switching network comprises a switching means then the regulator of the invention is a DC regulator which has the advantage over conventional Ćuk converters in that it permits bi-directional power flow. If both branches of each switching network comprise switching means, then the device may be constructed as an AC or DC regulator/transformer which retains the capacity to permit bi-directional power flow.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un hydrotransformateur comprenant un moteur hydraulique (4), une soupape de commande (2) et une unité de régulation (7). Un raccord de travail (2A) de la soupape de commande, qui peut être raccordé hydrauliquement soit à un raccord de pression (2P) de la soupape de commande soit à un raccord d'évacuation (2T) de la soupape de commande, est relié à un premier raccord (4B) du moteur hydraulique. Le deuxième raccord (4C) du moteur hydraulique est relié hydrauliquement à un organe d'entraînement (5). La soupape de commande (2) est commandée par l'intermédiaire de l'unité de régulation (7) en réaction à un signal qui caractérise le débit dans le moteur hydraulique. Si l'organe d'entraînement est un cylindre, son mouvement vers l'extérieur peut être exécuté à une vitesse constante et indépendamment de la charge, et il est possible de récupérer de l'énergie lorsqu'il effectue un mouvement vers l'intérieur. La présence d'une soupape de commande supplémentaire (8) entre le deuxième raccord du moteur hydraulique et l'organe d'entraînement permet de produire, avec une pression faible au niveau du raccord de pression de la soupape de commande, une pression supérieure au niveau de l'organe d'entraînement.

Title: Beverage dispensing apparatus
Inventor: SIMON MANSER
IPC: B67D1/00
Filed: 2017-05-03
Abstract: The invention relates to a surface-mountable beverage dispensing apparatus. The apparatus includes a multi-part housing for enclosing an interior cavity, the housing extending above a surface in use about a notional longitudinal axis, and a resiliently deformable outer sleeve shaped and dimensioned to partially surround the housing. The angle between a first tangent to one peripheral surface on the outer sleeve and a second tangent to an opposing peripheral surface is greater than 180 degrees. The shape and dimensions of the outer sleeve are matched to the external surface profile of the part(s) of the housing to which it is intended to cover. Prior to being mounted onto the housing the relatively thin outer sleeve naturally adopts a contracted configuration. The opposing peripheral edges of the outer sleeve are naturally urged toward one another as a consequence of their inherent resilience. When in a contracted configuration, the spacing of the opposing peripheral edges of the outer sleeve is less than the widest part(s) of the housing onto which it is to be mounted. To enable mounting of the outer sleeve onto the housing, the opposing peripheral surfaces are therefore expandable over its widest part(s) before contracting into close contact with the underlying surface profile of the housing part(s).
