20100167389 | SYNTHETIC EXPRESSION VECTORS FOR INSECT CELLS - The present invention is directed at optimized expression vectors for the expression of native-like heterologous proteins in insect cells. Compositions of the invention are nucleotide sequences representing elements of an expression vector that when combined results in enhanced expression and secretion of heterologous proteins. The elements include sequences that define transcriptional activators, core promoters, secretion signals, and 3′ untranslated regions that are functional in insect cells. The elements contained in the optimized vectors are all synthetically derived or are modified variants of naturally occurring insect sequences. The expression vectors are useful for the expression of native-like proteins when protein encoding nucleotide sequences are operatively linked to the vectors. These vectors can be used to transform insect cells, which can then be cultured to produce the desired protein product. The expressed native-like proteins can be used in diagnostic, vaccine or other applications requiring large amounts of high quality proteins. | 07-01-2010 |

20120175143 | REMOTELY ADJUSTABLE FEED SYSTEM - Various embodiments herein provide a remotely adjustable feed system for remotely controlling the movement of a tool head on a machining tool along an axis of motion by means of converting reciprocal linear motion, i.e., back and forth linear motion, into rotary motion. The rate of movement of the tool head along the axis of motion may be controlled by varying the distance of linear motion in each cycle of linear reciprocal motion and/or by varying the rate of linear reciprocal motion cycles per unit time. Alternatively, or in addition, the rate of movement of the tool head along the axis of motion may be controlled by varying the amount of rotary motion that results from a given amount of reciprocal linear motion. Additionally, in some embodiments, the movement of the tool head may be controlled by directly controlling the rotary motion that drives the tool head along the axis of motion. The rotary motion may be controlled by adjusting the speed of continuous rotation and/or adjusting the frequency of pulsed rotations. | 07-12-2012 |
