Title: Process for the synthesis of sugar nucleotides using recombinant-dna methods.
Inventor: BETLACH MICHAEL R
IPC: C12N15/52
Filed: 1987-03-24
Abstract: A recombinant-DNA mediated method for the synthesis of sugar nucleotides is disclosed. This method utilizes portable DNA sequences capable of directing the microbial synthesis of various enzymes that catalyze the synthesis of sugar nucleotides, including UDP-glucose, UDP-glucuronic acid and GDP-mannose. The sugar moieties of these sugar nucleotides may subsequently be incorporated into industrially-useful polysaccharides such as xanthan gum. It has been found that vectors containing the portable DNA sequences described herein are capable both of causing sugar nucleotide production in microorganisms previously incapable of such synthesis and of causing increased sugar nucleotide production in organisms capable of synthesizing small quantities of these compounds. In particular, plasmids pAS7, pAS9 and pTS13 are disclosed. These plasmids are capable of directing sugar nucleotide synthesis in various hosts, including Xanthomonas sp. such as X. campestris and other organisms such as E. coli and various Pseudomonas sp.

Title: Procede de recuperation de chaleur a partir d'un systeme de turbine a gaz
Inventor: ISAKSSON JUHANI
IPC: F01K21/04
Filed: 1987-11-02
Abstract: Dans un système de turbine à gaz, dans lequel des gaz chauds humides sont produits par la combustion du gaz naturel et par l'injection de vapeur dans le dispositif de combustion, la teneur en humidité relative du gaz est réduite en aval de la turbine par absorption adiabatique effectuée au moyen d'un liquide absorbant, dont le seul constituant qui s'évapore est l'eau. La chaleur de condensation de la vapeur aqueuse s'étant condensée lors de l'absorption est dans une large mesure transférée dans le gaz, dont la température est par conséquent accrue. La chaleur est récupérée par des procédés connus pour qu'elle puisse être utilisée par exemple dans le chauffage urbain. On régénère le liquide absorbant dilué, par exemple, en le plaçant, lors de la phase de récupération thermique qui précède la phase d'absorption, en contact d'échange thermique indirect avec le gaz chaud.

Abstract: The invention relates to an injection piece for a conduit (11a, 11b) of a medical fluid transfer system with a hollow body, which has a wall part (15) made of pierceable, elastic material and is provided with an attachment cone (12) with a through channel (26) for connection to a counter-element (19) of the conduit (11a, 11b). The attachment cone (12) is in this case firmly connected to a cage (13), which supports an elastic, perforatable tubular body (15) open towards the through channel (26) of the attachment cone (12). Such an injection piece can be connected, with the aid of the inseparable attachment cone (12), in a pressure-sealed manner to the conduit (11a, 11b), and it permits an all-round injection through the tubular body (15) forming the pierceable wall part. Upon insertion of a steel cannula into the tubular body (15), the conduit (11a, 11b) of the fluid transfer system need not be turned, because the injection piece permits an injection from all sides. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for puncturing and/or catheterizing with a puncture needle, which is electrically insulated on the outside as far as the tip and, for nerve search operations, can be inserted into the body in the direction of a nerve with its uninsulated tip as the puncture needle electrode (5), the puncture needle and an adhesive electrode (3) on the skin being components of a stimulator circuit which can be set at constant impulses and which has a current intensity preselector (19, 21) and a display (23) for the set desired value of the current intensity. The object of the invention is to take precautionary measures, in the case of a device of the type assumed to be known, so as to rule out, with greater reliability than hitherto, the possibility of undesired nerve damage.   To solve the object, the invention proposes that the stimulator circuit for actual current measurements be placed in the body tissue stretch (26) between the adhesive electrode (3) on the skin and the puncture needle electrode (5). It is proposed in particular that the current intensity display (39) can be connected alternately to the current intensity preselector (19, 21) for desired current displays, or to a circuit branch, equipped with a resistance measurement circuit (25), for actual current displays. <IMAGE>

Inventor: MASELLI JOHN A
IPC: A23L7/104
Filed: 1988-09-27
Abstract: Breakfast cereals are sweetened by treating cereal grains or at least one cereal grain fraction such as bran, with enzymes comprising glucose isomerase to produce fructose while retaining cereal particle discreteness or integrity. A portion of the starch and/or cellulose of the cereal grains or at least one grain fraction is enzymatically converted to dextrose or glucose which is converted to fructose by the glucose isomerase. Enzymes which may be used for the cellulose and/or starch conversion include cellulases, alpha-­amylases, and glucoamylases. Enzymatic treatment with alpha-amylase may be initiated prior to, during, or after cooking. The enzymatically treated, cooked cereal grains are formed into breakfast cereal shapes and the enzymes are inactivated to provide a shelf-stable cereal product. The cereal products exhibit a sweet, pleasing complex honey-like taste and aroma. Producing fructose provides a greater level of sweetness for a given amount of starch conversion into low molecular weight reducing sugars such as mono- and di-saccharides. In achieving a given level of sweetness, more starch or high molecular weight dextrins may be retained for their matrix forming ability or for improved machinability of the enzymatically treated cereal grains into breakfast cereal shapes. The naturally sweetened cereal products of the present invention may be in shredded, flaked, ground, or extruded form.

Abstract: Here is disclosed a datum beam projecting apparatus for use with a surveying equipment to project light rays emitted from a light source as the datum beam through a projecting lens system, wherein the apparatus uses a plane-parallel glass serving to compensate a tilt of the datum beam, thereby to maintain a direction of the projected datum beam constant with respect to a tilt of the apparatus and the above-mentioned plane-parallel glass is tiltably located in an optical path defined between the light source and the projecting lens system so that a following relationship may be satisfied : 
tan β = K tan α 
where α represents a tilt of the apparatus, β represents a tilt of the plane-parallel glass and K is a constant. 
     With the apparatus of this invention constructed as mentioned above, a tilt of the datum beam can be effectively compensated merely by tilting the plane-­parallel glass by the angle β corresponding to a   predetermined times the tilt α of the apparatus, so that the complicated arrangement comprising concave lenses, prisms etc. usually required for compensation can be eliminated and thereby not only the structure can be simplified but also the apparatus of a reliable precision can be obtained at a reasonable cost.
