Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100313542JET ENGINE SCREEN - The present invention relates to a jet screen designed to protect a jet engine comprising: a conical shaped perimeter; a concaved metal grid within the perimeter; and a plurality of bolts, said bolts provide a mechanism to secure the screen to an intake opening of a jet engine. The metal grid may be manufactured by using a light metal alloy. The perimeter of the screen extends around the circumference of the intake opening and the jet screen completely covers the intake opening. The metal grid according to the present invention provides sufficient spacing to avoid interference with air intake into the intake opening and to prevent entry of foreign objects into the intake opening.12-16-2010

20100332012ARRANGEMENT FOR IDENTIFYING UNCONTROLLED EVENTS AT THE PROCESS MODULE LEVEL AND METHODS THEREOF - A process-level troubleshooting architecture (PLTA) configured to facilitate substrate processing in a plasma processing system is provided. The architecture includes a process module controller. The architecture also includes a plurality of sensors, wherein each sensor of the plurality of sensors communicates with the process module controller to collect sensed data about one or more process parameters. The architecture further includes a process-module-level analysis server, wherein the process-module-level analysis server communicates directly with the plurality of sensors and the process module controller. The process-module-level analysis server is configured for receiving data, wherein the data include at least one of the sensed data from the plurality of sensors and process module and chamber data from the process module controller. The process-module-level analysis server is also configured for analyzing the data and sending interdiction data directly to the process module controller when a problem is identified during the substrate processing.12-30-2010

20090215135Novel Gene STS 22 - The present invention relates to newly identified genes that encode proteins that are involved in the synthesis of L-ascorbic acid (hereinafter also referred to as Vitamin C). The invention also features polynucleotides comprising the full-length polynucleotide sequences of the novel genes and fragments thereof, the novel polypeptides encoded by the polynucleotides and fragments thereof, as well as their functional equivalents. The present invention also relates to the use of said polynucleotides and polypeptides as biotechnological tools in the production of Vitamin C from microorganisms, whereby a modification of said polynucleotides and/or encoded polypeptides has a direct or indirect impact on yield, production, and/or efficiency of production of the fermentation product in said microorganism. Also included are methods/processes of using the polynucleotides and modified polynucleotide sequences to transform host microorganisms. The invention also relates to genetically engineered microorganisms and their use for the direct production of Vitamin C.08-27-2009
20100203598MICROBIAL PRODUCTION OF L-ASCORBIC ACID - The present invention discloses an isolated polynucleotide molecule derived from a polynucleotide encoding a polypeptide having L-sorbosone dehydrogenase activity comprising a partial nucleotide sequence of at least 20 consecutive nucleotides of SEQ ID NO:1. The present invention further relates to a process for the production of L-ascorbic acid in high yield, in particular a process using resting cells of a microorganism able to convert given carbon sources into vitamin C. The thus obtained vitamin C may be further processed by purification and/or separation steps.08-12-2010
20100248315Fermentative vitamin C production - The present invention relates to newly identified microorganisms capable of direct production of L-ascorbic acid (hereinafter also referred to as Vitamin C).

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110301958System-Initiated Speech Interaction - Whenever an event occurs on a computing system which will accept a response from a user of the system, the system automatically determines whether or not to enable speech interaction with the system for the event response. Whenever speech interaction is enabled with the system for the event response, the system provides a notification to the user which informs the user of the event and their options for responding thereto, where these options include responding verbally. Whenever the user responds within a prescribed period of time via a voice command (VC), the system attempts to recognize the VC. Whenever the VC is successfully recognized, the system responds appropriately to the VC.12-08-2011
