Abstract: A wooden wall or ceiling element is made up of interconnected shaped beams (1) placed side by side in rows. For the shaped beams (1) that are adjacent in the row (2), the thickness of the shaped beams is different in relation to a middle plane (3) of the beam row (2), at least in parts, in terms of the cross-section of said shaped beams between their connecting points (4).

Abstract: Herein is disclosed a method of generating ascorbic acid from yeast. In one embodiment, the yeast is a Saccharomyces or a Zygosaccharomyces spp. cultured in a medium comprising an ascorbic acid precursor. In a second embodiment the yeast is a recombinant yeast growing in a medium comprising an ascorbic acid precursor. The recombinant yeast is transformed with a coding region encoding an enzyme D-arabinose dehydrogenase (ARA), and may be further transformed with a coding region encoding an enzyme 1-galactono-1,4-lactone dehydrogenase (AGD) or D-arabinono-1,4-lactone oxidase (ALO). The ascorbic acid precursor is preferably D-glucose, L-galactose, L-galactono-1,4-lactone, L-gulono-1,4-lactone, or L-gulonic acid. In another preferred embodiment the ascorbic acid is accumulated in the medium at levels greater than background. Preferably, the yeast is capable of converting about 25 % of the ascorbic acid precursor to L-ascorbic acid.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for carrying out monitoring in packet-oriented telecommunication networks and data networks. The method makes it possible to reduce the processor performance required to carry out legal monitoring of telecommunication subscribers in switching nodes of packet-oriented telecommunication and data networks. To reduce the high number of comparably short data packets which must be respectively compared with the full list of subscriber connections which are to be monitored throughout the network and the computer power resulting therefrom required to carry out the tasks in each network node, the method is based on a reduced individual node list which is automatically generated and maintained and the number of individual verifications is kept to a minimum within a network node.

Abstract: An integer transform, which provides integer output values, carries out the TDAC function of a MDCT in the time domain before the forward transform. In overlapping windows, this results in a Givens rotation which may be represented by lifting matrices, wherein time-discrete sampled values of an audio signal may at first be summed up on a pair-wise basis to build a vector so as to be sequentially provided with a lifting matrix. After each multiplication of a vector by a lifting matrix, a rounding step is carried out such that, on the output-side, only integers will result. By transforming the windowed integer sampled value with an integer transform, a spectral representation with integer spectral values may be obtained. The inverse mapping with an inverse rotation matrix and corresponding inverse lifting matrices results in an exact reconstruction.

After the receipt of the combined response, a data packet is sent from the master agent to all intended one of the receiving nodes according to the combined response. After the data packet has been sent, the master agent in the master node is ready to send another request transaction along with a new write counter number, without the necessity of waiting for an acknowledgement from the receiving node.
