| 20110265226 | IMPROVED PRODUCTION OF PROTEINS WITH DOWNSTREAM BOX FUSIONS IN PLASTIDS AND IN BACTERIA - The present invention is directed to the use of certain selected downstream box (“DB”) regions and codon-optimized DB regions to achieve high-level protein expression in transformed organisms or organelles. In particular, high level protein expression in plastids and bacteria can be achieved by fusion of the TetC or NPTII DB region to a gene of interest. Protein expression in a transformed organism or organelle can also be enhanced by optimization of codon usage within the DB region based on codons preferentially found in the DB regions of highly expressed native genes in the organism or organelle. Methods for enhanced protein expression, and related nucleic acid molecules, expression vectors, transformed cells, and transgenic organisms, are provided. The present invention is particularly useful for expressing cellulolytic enzymes, including a suite of several cellulolytic enzymes, in plastids, bacteria and algae. | 10-27-2011 |

| 20100110754 | NON-DESTRUCTIVE READ BACK FOR FERROELECTRIC DATA STORAGE DEVICE - A data storage device comprising a ferroelectric layer, a perovskite structure, and at least one sensor, where the perovskite structure has a polarity discontinuity configured to generate capacitance voltages in the perovskite structure based on polarization charges of the ferroelectric material, and where the at least one sensor is configured to read the capacitance voltages from the perovskite structure. | 05-06-2010 |
| 20100195369 | MULTILAYER FERROELECTRIC DATA STORAGE SYSTEM WITH REGENERATIVE READ - A data storage system comprises first and second storage layers, a reader and a writer. The first storage layer has a first coercive potential and a first polarization. The second storage layer has a second coercive potential that is less than the first coercive potential, and a second polarization that is coupled to the first polarization. The writer performs a write operation in which a write potential is imposed across the first and second storage layers, such that the first coercive potential is exceeded across the first storage layer and the second coercive potential is exceeded across the second storage layer. The reader performs a read operation in which a read potential is imposed across the first and second storage layers, such that the second coercive potential is exceeded across the second storage layer and the first coercive potential is not exceeded across the first storage layer. | 08-05-2010 |

| 20090197123 | Nano-Scaled Reactor for High Pressure and High Temperature Chemical Reactions and Chemical Ordering - A storage device includes a storage medium, a controller and a read/write head. The storage medium includes a substrate with a plurality of nano-structures arranged in an ordered pattern on a surface of the substrate. The controller is coupled to the storage medium. The controller has a read structure that extends over the substrate and a positioner adapted to adjust a position of the read structure relative to the substrate. The read/write head is mounted on the read structure and positioned over the substrate during operation. The read/write head is adapted to read and to write information to and from the plurality of nano-structures. | 08-06-2009 |

| 20120026625 | LAMINATED CONTACT PAD - A contact pad includes a first layer of material with a first yield strength and a second layer of material with a second yield strength is laminated to the first layer. A third yield strength of the laminated composite of the first layer and the second layer exceeds the first yield strength and the second yield strength due to the Hall-Petch phenomenon. An overcoat covers an edge of the first layer and the second layer of the contact pad to prevent wear. A method of creating the contact pad or other microelectronic structure includes depositing a first layer of material with a first yield strength on a substrate. A second layer of material with a second yield strength is deposited on the first layer. An edge of the first layer and the second layer is coated with an overcoat material to prevent wear of the first and second layers. | 02-02-2012 |
