20090162916 | CELLOBIOHYDROLASE I ENZYMES - Provided herein is an isolated Cel7A polypeptide comprising mutations in the catalytic domain of the polypeptide relative to the catalytic domain of a wild type Cel7A polypeptide, wherein the mutations reduce N-linked glycosylation of the isolated polypeptide relative to the wild type polypeptide. Also provided herein is an isolated Cel7A polypeptide comprising increased O-linked glycosylation of the linker domain relative to a linker domain of a wild type Cel7A polypeptide. The increased O-linked glycosylation is a result of the addition of and/or substitution of one or more serine and/or threonine residues to the linker domain relative to the linker domain of the wild type polypeptide. In some embodiments, the isolated Cel7A polypeptide comprising mutations in the catalytic domain of the polypeptide relative to the catalytic domain of a wild type Cel7A polypeptide further comprises increased O-linked glycosylation of the linker domain relative to a linker domain of a wild type Cel7A polypeptide. The mutations in the catalytic domain reduce N-linked glycosylation of the isolated polypeptide relative to the wild type polypeptide. The addition of and/or substitution of one or more serine and/or threonine residues to the linker domain relative to the linker domain of the wild type polypeptide increases O-linked glycosylation of the isolated polypeptide.

20130025196 | SYSTEM FOR DISPLAYING PLANTS - The disclosed embodiments relate generally to a system for displaying plants. The system includes a tray and at least one grow pot with a protruding wick. Grow pots are easily and securely placed at an angle in the tray for display of foliage. The grow pots are easily rearranged and replaced without plant removal from the grow pot. Trays may be stacked together to provide a foliage area. Plants are easily watered by filling a tray to create a reservoir that conserves water. Individual grow pots need not be watered since the wicks take in water to the plant. Messy drainage of plants is avoided by the tray's ability to self-contain the water. Trays may be filled manually or with an automatic watering system. Slots or holes in the tray prevent over watering. Trays may be wall mounted or stacked in carriers. Carriers may have wheels for mobility, and a wheel cover for added appearance. | 01-31-2013 |

20120235020 | CLOCK GATED POWER SAVING SHIFT REGISTER - A gated-clock shift register including a series of clocked flip-flops with preceding outputs connected to subsequent inputs as a horizontal digital shift register. Each flip-flop (or other state holding device) includes a clock buffer between the respective flip-flop's clock, and the global clock. Each clock buffer propagates the clock signal when it determines the associated flip-flop will have a state change during that clock cycle (e.g., via an XOR of the flip-flops input and output signals). In the absence of a state change, that buffer does not propagate the clock signal, essentially only clocking the relevant flip-flops. Further, the clock buffer may be implemented with only NMOS devices (or alternatively, only PMOS devices), which offers power savings over an otherwise required CMOS implementation. | 09-20-2012 |
20120236187 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR IMAGE DECIMATION FOR IMAGE SENSORS - Previously available analog domain decimation techniques are limited to simple equally-weighted averaging of photosite outputs. Decimation of a Bayer pattern image by an even-factor, such as by two or six, using simple equally-weighted averaging of photosite outputs in the analog domain results in effective sampling locations that are unevenly spaced apart. Standard interpolation of the unevenly spaced effective sampling locations generates image artifacts that reduce the quality of the reconstructed image in the smaller format because standard interpolation methods assume that the effective sampling locations are evenly spaced. Implementations of systems, methods and apparatus disclosed herein aim to produce substantially evenly spaced effective sampling locations in the analog domain. More specifically, in some implementations, the unequally-weighted-average even-factor decimation methods disclosed herein produce substantially more evenly spaced effective sampling locations as compared to the equally-weighted-average even-factor decimation processes previously used in the analog domain. | 09-20-2012 |

The electrical circuit also includes a positive integrating amplifier that receives the positive amplitude of the AC signal and generates a positive integrated value over an integration period, and a negative integrating amplifier that receives the negative amplitude of the AC signal and generates a negative integrated value over the integration period. The electrical circuit further includes at least one analog-to-digital converter that receives the positive and negative integrated values. | 10-30-2014 |

20100300444 | OXYGEN CONSERVING OXYGEN DELIVERY SYSTEM - The present invention extends to methods, systems, computer program products, and circuits for conserving oxygen during the delivery of oxygen to a user. Embodiments of the invention use a microphone to detect breathing sounds indicative of different portions of a breathing cycle. Sounds not related to the breathing cycle are filtered out of the signal. Using the breathing sounds, a microprocessor differentiates inspiration from other portions of the breathing cycle. When inspiration is detected, a valve is transitioned to permit the flow of oxygen from an oxygen source to a user to deliver an appropriate bolus of oxygen. The microprocessor can also detect fault conditions, such as, for example, apnea, failure to deliver a bolus of oxygen, and restrictions in the flow of oxygen from the oxygen source to a user. | 12-02-2010 |
