Abstract: The present invention provides a novel isolated plasmid, wherein the plasmid is a native plasmid found in unique C.  botulinum type A strains and encode either BoNT/ A3 or BoNT/ A4 and BoNT/B.  The present invention also provides a method of obtaining a plasmid-encoded botulinum neurotoxin and botulinum neurotoxin complex comprising the step of isolating a plasmid encoding the cntA/A or cntA/B neurotoxin gene and genes encoding protein components of the toxin complex from a C. botulinum type A strain. The inventors performed comparative analyses of representative BoNT/A subtype strains by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) and Southern hybridizations with probes specific for the BoNT/A and B  genes, cntA/A and cntA/B. Unexpectedly, the inventors determined that the genes encoding BoNT/ A3 in the A3 strain, and BoNT/ A4 and BoNT/B in the A4 strain, are on plasmids.

Abstract: The invention provides rupturing devices for mitigating the explosive reaction of a casing (121), hollow tubular body or container, particularly a munition, when it is subject to an external thermal hazard threat. The devices are based on the use of shape memory alloys. The device comprises an element of shape memory alloy (123) which is joined together by a connector (122) to form an annulus, which may be located on an exterior surface of a munitions casing (121) or launch such that upon heating through its transition temperature range will cause the annulus to contract radially inwardly, thereby rupturing the munition (121), allowing any build up of pressure to be released quickly. Advantageously, the connector (122) is. reversible such that the device will be capable of being retro- fitted or removed during normal servicing of the munition (121).

Abstract: An image encoding method for encoding a pixel value of an encoding target by using a predicted value generated by means of spatial or temporal prediction using a previously-decoded image. The method performs prediction of the pixel value of the encoding target and obtains the predicted value; computes data of a probability distribution which indicates what value an original pixel value has for the obtained predicted value, by shifting, in accordance with the predicted value, difference distribution data of a difference between the original pixel value and the predicted value in predictive encoding, where the difference distribution data is stored in advance; clips the obtained data of the probability distribution so as to contain the data in a range from a lower limit to an upper limit for possible values of the original pixel value; and encodes the pixel value of the encoding target by using the clipped data of the probability distribution of the original pixel value from the lower limit to the upper limit.
