Abstract: The invention relates to a method for expressing a desired protein or polypeptide in a plant, in which the protein or polypeptide is expressed as a fusion with at least one starch binding domain. The plant is preferably a plant that contains or produces starch or starch granules in at least one of its parts, such as potato, sweet potato, cassava, pea, taro, sago, yam, banana and/or cereals such as rice, maize, wheat and barley. The protein or polypeptide can be an enzyme, in particular an enzyme that can convert, modify, alter, degrade or otherwise influence starch (granules); or can be a receptor or a structural protein. The invention further relates to the fusions thus obtained, to genetic constructs that encode the above fusions and to plants transformed with said constructs. The method of the invention can in particular be used to provide modified starches and/or to provide complexes of starch (granules) and the above fusions. In another embodiment, one or more starch binding domains are expressed in a plant, to provide a plant producing modified starches.

Abstract: In a process for producing aromatic dicarboxylic acids which incorporates the disproportionation of a salt of an aromatic mono- or dicarboxylic acid to produce the unreacted salt of an aromatic mono- or dicarboxylic acid and the salt of the desired aromatic dicarboxylic acid, a method is disclosed for separating the salt of the desired product from the unreacted salt which comprises passing both said unreacted salt and said salt of the desired product in an aqueous solution over an adsorbent comprising an activated carbon. The process is particularly suitable for separating potassium naphthoate from  2,6-K2NDA after potassium naphthoate is disproportionated to produce  2,6-K2NDA and 1- or 2- potassium naphthoate. The adsorbent can be regenerated by the use of a displacing agent and reused without off site regeneration.

Abstract: The invention relates to a known method for nitro-carburization of metal workpieces, whereby the workpieces are treated in a treatment chamber with a treatment atmosphere containing nitrogen, carbon monoxide and hydrogen at treatment temperature, whereby carbon dioxide is used as carbon contributor to generate the treatment atmosphere. The invention aims at modifying said method so as to be able to regulate as much as possible the type and volume of nitride formation. To this end, a gas flow (1; 21) containing carbon dioxide is introduced into a reactor (4; 24) connected upstream from the treatment chamber (6; 27) and modified therein into a carburizing gas (5; 25) by reaction with a hydrogen contributor (2; 22) at a reaction temperature above treatment temperature, said gas having a higher carbon activity at treatment temperature than the gas flow (1; 21) containing carbon dioxide.

Abstract: This invention concerns a system of communication including a tactile device for single-handed input of phonetic information and a corresponding tactile device for output of that information onto a single hand. The phonetic information input using the tactile input device can be output as synthesized speech, and the tactile output device can receive phonetic information obtained from a speech recognition engine. Thus the input device acts as a "talking hand", and the output device acts as a "listening hand". The phonemic information is suitable for tactile or speech output, either directly or indirectly, locally or remotely, via a transmission system such as a telephone network. The system involves a scheme in which the fingers are used for consonants and the thumb for vowels, with fingers and thumb used together for voiced consonants.

Abstract: An asymmetric sampling scheme for use with a nuclear medicine gamma camera facilitates collection of a full set of higher resolution emission data and lower resolution transmission data with one complete 360 DEG  rotation of the gantry. The gantry contains a plurality of radiation detectors and at least one adjustably mounted radiation source. During a scan, the gantry is incrementally rotated about a subject receiving aperture by a predetermined step size throughout a first 180 DEG  of a rotation (P1, ..., P6). The gantry is then rotated about the subject receiving aperture by one-half the predetermined step size (P7 or P8). The gantry is then incrementally rotated about the subject receiving aperture by the predetermined step size throughout the remaining 180 DEG  of the scan (P8, ..., P12). Emission data collected during the second half of the scan (P8, ..., P12) is interleaved into the data from the first half of the scan. Such sampling reduces overall scan time by cutting the number of steps approximately in half, therefore, eliminating 50% of the dead time while the gantry rotates and comes to rest. <IMAGE>

The distal end of a wire is attached to the first catheter near an opening system within the catheter. The opening system may be a slot or a pair of holes. A portion of the wire is oriented external of the catheter. Manipulation of the proximal end of the wire causes a portion of the wire to form a loop external of the catheter. The catheter may be tapered, as may be the wire. A reinforcing- material may be attached to the portion of the wire that forms the loop. Another reinforcing material may also be attached to the proximal portion of the wire in order to stiffen the wire and improve its pushability. A guidewire may be inserted into a patient and maneuvered to an appropriate location within the patient, the catheter may be advanced over the guidewire, the wire attached to the catheter may be manipulated to capture a foreign body with the loop, and the catheter and foreign body may be withdrawn from the patient.
