Patent BR-9909409-A (BR)
Inventor: ASAKURA YOKO
IPC: C12P13/04
Filed: 1999-09-22
Abstract: A method of producing coryneform bacteria having an improved amino acid-or nucleic acid-productivity comprises the steps of introducing a mutation in a promoter sequence of amino acid- or nucleic acid-biosynthesizing genes on a chromosome of a coryneform bacterium to make it dose to a consensus sequence or introducing a change in a promoter sequence of amino acid- or nucleic acid-biosynthesizing genes on a chromosome of a coryneform bacterium by gene recombination to make it close to a consensus sequence, to obtain mutants of the coryneform amino acid- or nucleic acid-producing microorganism, culturing the mutants and select a mutant capable of producing the intended amino acid or nucleic acid in a large amount. This method can construct a mutant capable of suitably enriching or controling the expression of an intended gene without using a plasmid and also capable of producing amino acids in a high yield, by the recombination or mutation. <IMAGE>

Title: Updating user characteristics profile
Inventor: ITAKURA YUICHIRO
IPC: G06Q30/00
Filed: 1997-05-08
Abstract: A message searching system displays messages to terminal users based on their individual characteristics profile, and includes a message user database 34 for storing records defining user characteristics profiles of terminal users, and a transmittal condition database storing searching conditions for each message which may be transmitted to the terminal. This system detects a necessity to revise the user characteristics when communicating with the terminal, and revises the user characteristics if necessary. The system reads user characteristics from the message user database, and searches for appropriate messages from the transmittal condition database based on the user characteristics and characteristics associated with each message identifier. The message user database stores each user's birth date and the last system communication date. The user's characteristics profile is updated based on various conditions. For example, if the date obtained by adding a predetermined period to the user's birth date is after the last communication date with the user, the characteristics profile is revised.

Title: Designing and manufacturing spectacle lenses
Inventor: SHIRAYANAGI MORIYASU
IPC: G06F17/50
Filed: 2001-05-09
Abstract: A method of designing a rotationally symmetric single-vision spectacle lens having at least one aspheric surface by selecting one or more lens parameters as variables, assigning values of the same optical abberation at a plurality of points on the lens to functions which evaluate optical abberation and optimising the selected lens parameters by setting target values of the evaluation functions to zero. The optimising step includes repeatedly calculating the values of the evaluation functions and adjusting the selected lens parameters so that the evaluations become closer to zero. It may employ either a least squares or a damped least squares method as an algorithm. The optical abberation assigned to the evaluation functions may be meridinoidal power error (DM), sagittal power error (DS), a weighted sum of the two (e.g. 0.5xDM + 0.5xDS), astigmatism calculated by DM + (-1)xDS. Each evaluation function may deliver the magnitude of the optical abberation at one or more predetermined object distances.

Title: Optical Amplifier, Optical Multiplexing Transmission System Using a Raman Light Source
Inventor: KOBAYASHI HIDEKI
IPC: H04B10/077
Filed: 2001-07-10
Abstract: An optical amplifier has a Raman excitation light source 105 for generating Raman light. There is a detection circuit 106 for detecting errors in an optical supervisory channel (OSC) signal which is transferred in addition to an optical transmission signal. A controller 108 controls the Raman light output power of the Raman excitation light source 105 according to the errors detected by the detection circuit. An optical multiplexing transmission system using the optical amplifier is also disclosed (see Figure 10). Preferably, there is a circuit for indicating a transmission line failure to a downstream optical amplifier. A flag imay be superimposed onto the optical supervisory channel signal to indicate an optical supervisory channel condition when the errors detected by the detection circuit indicate a predetermined condition. A light output control circuit may supervise the errors on the optical supervisory channel signal, and remove the light output control of the Raman excitation light source, when the errors are reduced to a predetermined level. Automatic start of the system may be possible when the transmission line failure is restored. The optical supervisory channel may not be disconnected even in the case when a transmission line failure such as the connector disconnection occurs in a mainline signal system. The system may also have a reflection detection function.

Title: Internal combustion engine cooling
Inventor: BRACE CHRISTIAN JOHN
IPC: F01P7/14
Filed: 2001-08-16
Abstract: An internal combustion engine cooling assembly 20 comprises a primary and secondary flow of coolant. The secondary flow of coolant is injected e.g as a jet into the primary flow of coolant in dependence upon a variable provided by a sensor 32A, 32D such as a temperature sensor, which provides an indication of the temperature of the engine body in the region 24 where the secondary flow of coolant mixes with the primary flow of coolant. The secondary flow of coolant may be a pulsed flow having a frequency 0.2 to 50 Hz. The invention provides controlled cooling at different and variable levels in one or more localised regions of the engine body such as cylinder heads. The injected jet is believed to create turbulence in the coolant flow which enhances heat transfer between the coolant and the engine. The invention leads to reduced fuel consumption and reduces engine emissions. There is also disclosed a method of cooling an internal combustion engine. In a further embodiment the invention comprises an internal combustion engine which includes passageways in the engine body 20.
