Title: Novel centromeric protein shugoshin
Inventor: WATANABE YOSHINORI
IPC: C07K14/47
Filed: 2004-11-24
Granted: 2008-09-18
Abstract: The present invention is to provide meiosis-specific novel kinetochore protein Sgo1 (shugoshin) derived from fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe, and a homologue or paralogue thereof having a regulatory activity of chromosome segregation; and DNAs encoding them; as a factor ensuring the retention of unidirection and cohesion in sister centromere at meiosis I in cooperation with cohesin. To elucidate the proteins protecting Rec8 during anaphase, the present inventor screened in fission yeast genes for a gene that inhibits mitotic growth and prevents sister chromatid from the separation at anaphase, when co-expressed with Rec8. In this approach, meiosis-specific protein Sgo1 that protects (Shugo) centromeric Rec8 from the degradation at anaphase I was indentified. Further, a budding yeast Sgo1 homologue and a fission yeast mitotic paralogue Sgo2 were identified.

Abstract: A database management system that has bitmap values in which set bits in a representation of a bitstring specify a set of objects whose definitions are built into the database management system. The database management system further includes user-accessible operations on the bitmap values. The bitmap values are represented by means of a mapping; specifier that specifies a range of the set of objects and a representation of a string of bits that has been mapped onto the set of object specified by the range specifier. The representation of the string of bits may be compressed. Bitmap operations on the values may alter the range specifier, the size of the string of bits, or individual bits in the string of bits. The objects represented by the bitmap values may be objects in the database management system or objects external thereto. An example of bitmap values of the first kind are bitmap values representing sets of rowids. rowid bitmap values may be used to make a user-defined index of attribute values for any set of objects contained in fields in the database management system. An example of bitmap values of the second kind are bitmap values representing sets of electronic product codes. ePC bitmap values may be used in any application where a compact representation of a set of ePC codes is desired.

Title: Method of gasification burner online feeding
Inventor: WANG XIN
IPC: C10J3/46
Filed: 2008-01-21
Granted: 2012-09-20
Abstract: Abstract The present invention discloses a method of gasification burner online feeding for a coal-water slurry gasifier, wherein the pressure of the water-coal slurry is 0.05 2.5MPa higher than the gasifier's operating pressure, and the pressure of oxidizer is 0.05-4MPa higher than the gasifier's operating pressure, by setting up the feed flows of coal-water slurry and oxidizer respectively. The coal-water slurry line and the oxidizer line between the cut-off valves and the gasification burners are both protected by shield gas. Upon determining that the pressure and flow parameters are normal, the gasification burners perform online pressurized feeding: closing the coal water slurry circulating valve, opening the cut-off valve, closing the shield gas cut-off valve, and the coal-water slurry entering into the gasifier; closing the oxidizer vent valve, opening the cut-off valve, closing the shield gas cut-off valve, and the oxidizer entering into the gasifier. The operating load of the gasification burner is regulated to be normal. The present invention can realize online, pressurized and continuous feeding of the gasification burners which are fixed after they stalled for other reasons than their own, thus greatly reducing the probability of accidental shutdown of gasifiers and improving the reliability of long-term service of the multi-nozzle opposed gasifier. 107 103 104 105 PTc coal-water slurry 102 10 shield gas Fig. 1 PTZ Q-- 03 204 105 PIC T m oxid z r2 2 ---- shield gas Fig. 2
