Inventor: OGAWA KOICHI
IPC: C12N1/21
Filed: 2007-06-05
Abstract: A CGTase mutant derived from parent .gamma.-CGTase by substituting at least one of the amino acid residues by an amino acid residue differing from the corresponding amino acid residue of the parent .gamma.-CGTase, which has an improved specific activity relating to the synthesis of .gamma.-cyclodextrin compared with the parent .gamma.-CGTase; a gene encoding the amino acid sequence of this mutant; and a method of producing the above-described CGTase mutant which comprises culturing a transformant, which has been transformed by a recombinant vector having the above gene or by chromosomal homologous recombination, and collecting the cyclodextrin glucanotransferase mutant thus produced by the above-described transformant. Namely, it is intended to provide an improved CGTase mutant, which has a higher specific activity than the parent .gamma.-CGTase and enables the reduction of the amount of oxygen required for obtaining a desired CD composition, by mutating .gamma.-cyclodextrin glucanotransferase (.gamma.-CGTase); a gene of the CGTase mutant as described above; and a method of producing the CGTase mutant by using the same.

Title: Bonding multiple radios in wireless multi-hop mesh networks
Inventor: NATARAJAN MOHAN
IPC: H04L45/243
Filed: 2007-09-19
Abstract: In a mesh network composed of multiple-radio nodes, we assign each radio to one of a plurality of channels, and treat a plurality of links between a pair of nodes as one logical link (bonded link). In some embodiments, the routing protocol is adapted to view each bonded link as one link having a combination of at least some of the properties of the constituent physical links. Traffic sent along a path is dynamically load balanced between the interfaces at each intermediate node based on the current utilization of each interface. In at least some embodiments, route discovery packets record the metrics of each component link of the bonded links leaving a node, but only one route discovery packet per pair of nodes is forwarded, reducing the route discovery packet traffic compared to if each route discovery packet were forwarded over each component link between the pair of nodes.
