Filed: 1997-05-06
Abstract: (57)【要約】
キシロースをエタノールに発酵し、かつ非選択培地中で多数の世代にわたって培養した場合にそれを行う能力を維持する組換え酵母が記載される。好ましい酵母は、グルコース抑制されず誘導のためにキシロースを要求しないプロモーターに融合したキシロースレダクターゼ、キシリトールデヒドロゲナーゼ、及びキシルロキナーゼをコードする組込み遺伝子の複数のコピーを含有する。細胞を複製／組込みベクターで形質転換し、次いで細胞を選択圧力下で多数回複製して次の世代におけるベクターの保持を促進することによる、複数のコピーの外来ＤＮＡを宿主細胞へ組込むための好ましい方法も記載される。かくして複製されたベクターは、複製／選択段階を通じて複数のコピーの外来ＤＮＡを宿主細胞に組込むのに役立つ。その後、選択圧力を除去して次の世代におけるベクターの損失を促進でき、外来ＤＮＡの安定な組込み体が得られる。

Title: Method of encapsulating, sealing, coating or supporting a biological material by mixing the material, water soluble biocompatible macromer having at least two free radical polymerisable groups and photo initiator and then curing to form polymer gel
Inventor: HUBBELL JEFFREY A
IPC: A61K35/12
Filed: 1993-03-01
Abstract: This invention provides novel methods for the formation of biocompatible membranes around biological materials using photopolymerization of water soluble molecules. The membranes can be used as a covering to encapsulate biological materials or biomedical devices, as a "glue" to cause more than one biological substance to adhere together, or as carriers for biologically active species. Several methods for forming these membranes are provided. Each of these methods utilizes a polymerization system containing water-soluble macromers, species, which are at once polymers and macromolecules capable of further polymerization. The macromers are polymerized using a photoinitiator (such as a dye), optionally a cocatalyst, optionally an accelerator, and radiation in the form of visible or long wavelength UV light. The reaction occurs either by suspension polymerization or by interfacial polymerization. The polymer membrane can be formed directly on the surface of the biological material, or it can be formed on material, which is already encapsulated.

Title: Linearized digital control for automatic gain control for radio
Inventor: WILSON NATHANIEL B
IPC: H03G3/20
Filed: 1996-09-16
Abstract: The present invention provides linear, digital automatic gain control (AGC) in a radio. A received signal is demodulated to provide I and Q digital baseband signals. A received signal strength indication is determined from these signals and the resulting digital signal is adjusted to provide a logarithmic response. This signal is then integrated to provide a digital receive AGC adjust signal. For the transmit AGC adjust, the digital receive AGC adjust signal is filtered and then summed with a scaled closed loop power control command. The closed loop power control commands are ignored if they would result in increasing the transmit gain beyond the amplifier's designed maximum output. The result of the sum operation converted from digital to analog for adjusting the amplifier. The outputs of the transmit and receive AGC amplifiers are linearized by transmit and receive linearizers, respectively, which pre-distort the digital AGC adjust signals prior to digital to analog conversion.
