Title: Subtilin variant of enhanced stability and activity
Inventor: HANSEN J NORMAN
IPC: C12N15/11
Filed: 1993-11-08
Granted: 1998-02-26
Abstract: The method by which polypeptides having residues other than the 20 common amino acids are made is established. A leader peptide sequence (SEQ ID NO: 7) and its gene are identified which induce or assist post-translational modifications of Cys, Thr and Ser in prokaryotes. The leader sequence may be used to induce the presence of covalent bonding sites in polypeptides and can be expressed by either naturally occurring or artificial means. Further, a subtilin mutant substituting isoleucine for Glu4 of the native sequence exhibits a 57-fold improvement in stability, resisting modification of the dehydroalanine residue at position 5. This stable mutant exhibits 3-4 times the specific activity, in suppression of bacterial spore outgrowth, of the native bacteriocin. A method for site-specific mutagenesis, as well as the resulting mutant gene, plasmid and transformant is similarly set forth.

Title: Process for producing pressed, moulded, delayed release dose units and dose units thus produced
Inventor: STEMMLE BERTHOLD
IPC: A61K9/20
Filed: 1990-07-02
Granted: 1994-07-21
Abstract: Process for the preparation of shaped, compressed controlled-release unit-dosage forms from a therapeutic active substance exhibiting a self-retarding release that depends on the magnitude of the force used for the compression. The process gives unit-dosage forms for which the release of the active substance is highly uniform, reproducibly identical and largely linear. To achieve this, the active substance and an additive charge that inhibits or compensates for the self-retardation of its release are processed into particles in the first stage of production, so that the preliminary compressed objects made from these particles without any further additives exhibit a rapid release (in comparison with the required controlled release) over the range of the force of compression envisaged for the production of the unit-dosage form in question, after which the particles are compressed in the second stage of production with a release-retarding agent to obtain the unit-dosage forms. The invention also relates to the unit-dosage forms thus obtained.

Title: Method to determine correction parameters
Inventor: GNEPF SILVIO
IPC: G01C21/28
Filed: 1998-02-05
Granted: 2000-08-17
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for determining correction parameters for the measured values of a magnetic compass, which is built into a land craft for navigation purposes, and gives the azimuth a of the direction of motion of the vehicle; of a gradiometer giving the elevation e of the direction of motion of the vehicle in relation to the horizon; and of an odometer, giving the distance s travelled. In this method, two visually navigated test drives are carried out in different directions between known point of departure and arrival. The measured values (a, e, s) are replaced by corrected values (a', e', s') in accordance with the following: a' = a + A + B . sin a + C . cos a; e' = e - A2; S' =  rho . The correction parameters are determined by performing a vectorial comparison of the known direction and distance values (a', e', s') with the measured values. The correction parameters are as follows: A for declination and compass mounting errors in azimuth; B, C for hard and soft magnetic vehicle magnetism; A2 for mounting errors of the gradiometer in elevation; and  rho  for a scale error of the odometer.

Title: A target persistence and environment filter
Inventor: ASBURY JIMMIE R
IPC: G01S13/931
Filed: 1996-08-22
Granted: 1998-06-18
Abstract: A Doppler control circuit for a CW or pulse Doppler radar system for monitoring not only the phase shift between echo signals from several targets but also the amplitude difference between the several targets and to further tune the radar to a particular target among one or more targets from which echo signals return. The control circuit can be used in state of the art CW or pulse Doppler type radar systems. In a further system, a continuously generated radar signal is repeatedly transmitted at different frequencies in time division fashion to define a succession of transmit and receive frames. The receive frames are divided into a plurality of time interval windows with selected windows being used to detect received signals at the different frequencies. The remaining windows can be used for subsystems of the radar system. The rate of phase shift of received signals at a reference frequency is used to determine closing rate (positive or negative) while the phase shift difference between received signals at two frequencies is used to determine range and target direction. In yet a further system, a special circuit is provided for conditioning selected portions of the Doppler frequency spectrum to attenuate or de-emphasize portions of the echo signal corresponding to selected targets in the radar system environment, such as rain or stationary wayside objects, in order to give such echo signals less weight in determining roadway hazards.

Granted: 1990-07-05
Abstract: Described herein is an energy management system in which a central unit provides a series of energy managing signals over a medium, such as TV cables, power lines, telephone lines or free space radio frequency transmissions, to a plurality of subscriber units. Within each unit is a transponder which responds to the transmitted central unit signals and provides corresponding signals onto an electric grid, such as the power lines, within the subscribing unit. The appliances to be managed each have associated therewith a responder unit, which is coupled to the electric grid to receive the transponder provided signals. Each of the central unit transmitted signals is encoded to manifest the energy managing dictates of a particular one of a plurality of diffferent schedules and is only provided in conformance with the dictates of the schedule is manifests. Typically, where an appliance is to be turned off as part of the energy management scheme, the encoded signals are provided only when the schedule manifested thereby indicate that a particular appliance is to be turned off. The responder units each have subscriber settable encoding devices associated therewith and the subscriber sets the code of a particular schedule for each responder after referring to series of schedules which is supplied to each user of the energy management system. The responder then responds to only the codes applied thereto conforming to the code set on the settable encoding devices and the appliance with which that responder is associated is then managed in accordance with the selected schedule.

Title: Non-invasive determination of glucose concentration in body of patient
Inventor: LOUGHEED WILLIAM D
IPC: A61B5/00
Filed: 1991-12-04
Granted: 1993-11-25
Abstract: Radiation in the near infrared over a limited range of wavelengths about 1660 nanometers is projected on a portion (31) of the body, for example, the ear, of the patient. The resulting radiation emitted by the portion, either scattered from the portion or transmitted after absorption and scattered by the portion, is processed to derive an expression of the resulting radiation as a function of the wavelength. The second derivative of this function over a very narrow range of this function between 1640 and 1670 nanometers is expanded and the glucose concentration is determined from the magnitude, or intensity, of the scattered or transmitted radiation at the maximum or minimum point of this derivative. Also disclosed is apparatus for non-invasive determination of glucose concentration in the patient. Radiation in the near infrared is transmitted through a first fiber-optic radiation conductor (29) to the outer surface of a portion (31) of the patient's body, penetrating into the portion. A second fiber-optic conductor (33) transmits the resulting radiation emitted from the portion to data processing means (23) which produces the desired second derivative as a function of the wavelength of the incident radiation. The processor includes a spectrum analyzer (21) which produces a spectrum of the resulting radiation. <IMAGE>
