Inventor: MADISON LARA
IPC: C12N5/10
Filed: 2000-01-21
Granted: 2004-12-09
Abstract: Methods for engineering transgenic organisms that synthesize polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) containing 3-hydroxyhexanoate as comonomer have been developed. These processes are based on genetically engineered bacteria such as  Escherichia coli  or in plant crops as production systems which include PHA biosynthetic genes from PHA producers. In a preferred embodiment of the method, additional genes are introduced in wild type or transgenic polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) producers, thereby creating new strains that synthesize 3HH monomers which are incorporated into PHAs. The 3HH monomer preferably is derived in microbial systems using butanol or butyrate as feedstocks, which are precursors of 3-hydroxyhexanoyl-CoA. Pathways for  in vivo  production of butyrol-CoA specifically encompassing butyryl-CoA dehydrogenase activity are provided.

Title: Computer controlled smart phacoemulsification method and apparatus
Inventor: COSTIN JOHN A
IPC: A61B18/00
Filed: 1996-04-30
Granted: 1997-03-27
Abstract: A method and apparatus for operating on the human eye detects changes in load, more specifically, mechanical impedance, of the transducer (300) and controls aspiration based on the load changes. A change from a lower load to a higher load indications that harder tissue is being encountered and accordingly causes aspiration amount to increase. Conversely, a change from a higher load to a lower load indicates that aspiration amount should be quickly decreased since the tissue which is being encountered is softer. One way to detect the impedance is by a sensor (1008), i.e., a piezoelectric element coupled to the operating needle detecting the movement thereof. <IMAGE>
