Title: Enzymic method of producing n-hexanal, 3-(Z)-hexen-1-al,  2-(E)-hexen-1-al, or corresponding alcohols using a soja lipoxygenase and a guava lyase
Inventor: MULLER BERNARD
IPC: A23L27/24
Filed: 1993-05-03
Granted: 1998-08-12
Abstract: The method involves subjecting linoleic or linolenic acid, or one of their precursors of natural origin in the form of a hydrolizate, to lipoxygenase activity, transforming the resulting 13-hydroperoxy-octadeca-9,11-dienoic acid or the 13-hydroperoxy-octadeca-9,11,15-trienoic acid respectively into n-hexanal or 3(Z)-hexen-1-al respectively by means of a lyase, and reducing this aldehyde by means of a yeast to give the n-hexanol or 3-(Z)-hexen-1-ol respectively. Alternatively, the 3-(Z)-hexen-1-al can be isomerized into 2-(E)-hexen-1-al and the latter reduced by means of a yeast to give the 2-(E)-hexen-1-ol. This method offers high yields when forming the above-mentioned aldehydes and alcohols.

Abstract: A first embodiment of the present invention comprises a fully functional portable computer with central processing unit, hard disk drive data storage, and liquid crystal display and a docking station having at least a floppy disk drive, video random access memory and video controller. A motorized docking/undocking mechanism automatically docks and undocks the portable computer and docking station after the user has inserted the portable computer into the docking station or after the user has requested that the units be undocked. Numerous mechanical and electrical safeguards prevent the docking or undocking of the units if such docking or undocking is likely to lead to the loss of data or damage to the components of either unit. The internal mechanical construction of the docking station allows the user to place a large cathode ray tube display monitor directly atop the docking station without hindering the docking or undocking of the portable computer.

Abstract: This invention relates to interdigitation-fusion (IF) liposomes and gels. These liposomes and gels capture high solute to lipid ratios, including bioactive agent. This invention also relates to the discovery that the fusion of liposomes to produce IF gel and liposomes according to the present invention is size dependent. The present invention also relates to a method for producing IF liposomes and gels. In the method of the present invention, sized liposomes formed by sonication, extrusion or alternative processes are fused in the presence of ethanol or other suitable inducer. This process results in a composition of the present invention in gel form. To produce liposomes, the gels are exposed to a temperature usually but not necessarily above the transition temperature (Tm) of the lipid used. The temperature required by the methods of the invention is that temperature which induces a change in the material properties of the mixture. The inducer may also be removed. The result is a composition comprising liposomes containing high solute to lipid ratios. The IF liposomes and gels of the present invention may be used in combination with numerous solutes, especially including bioactive agents.

Abstract: The transmission mainshaft thrust washer and retainer ring combination has radially inward extending flanges of a pair of adjacent mainshaft gears selectively clutchable with the mainshaft are prevented from moving axially away from each other by first and second retainer rings respectively disposed in annular grooves adjacent sides of the respective gear flanges which face away from each other. They are prevented from moving axially towards each other by a thrust washer disposed in an annular groove in the mainshaft between sides of the respective gear flanges which face towards each other and operative to transmit axial thrust to the mainshaft during the process of clutching the respective gears. The first and second retainer rings are interchangeable with each other but not with the thrust washer as a result of both retainer ring grooves having respective axial widths that are the same as each other and wider than the axial width of the thrust washer groove axial width.
