Cornelis Wilhelmus Jacobus De Laat, Etten-Leur NL

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090252589Apparatus and method for handling pipe - An apparatus for handling pipes, the apparatus, in certain aspects, having a body having a tapered surface and at least a first slip and a second slip slidable on the tapered surface, a slip actuator for setting said at least first slip and said second slip, said first slip and said second slip having interengaging elements such that upon actuation of said slip actuator, said first slip is set and said second slip is set by the interengaging elements transferring setting force from the slip actuator through said first slip to said second slip; and methods for using such an apparatus.10-08-2009

20090001493ELECTRONIC IMAGING DEVICE - An electronic imaging device includes a base layer containing electrical functional circuitry, the base layer having a first side for interconnection of the circuitry and a second side which serves as a photo-detection side. The second side has exposed photosensitive electrical elements arranged in the base layer. Spacers of a predetermined height are provided adjacent to said second side. The spacers can advantageously be used for gaining control over the tolerance of a desired distance between a lens of a lens system and said photo-detection side. Thus, individual focusing of the lens system of each imager device after completion of production is no longer needed. Moreover, an air gap that improves the performance of the micro-lenses may be formed.01-01-2009

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090170025LITHOGRAPHIC METHOD AND CARRIER SUBSTRATE - A carrier substrate is provided with a layer of PDMS and curing agent on one side of the carrier substrate. The PDMS and curing agent can be arranged to receive and adhere to a lithographic substrate. The carrier substrate can be dimensioned such that the combined carrier substrate and lithographic substrate may be handled by a conventional lithographic apparatus.07-02-2009

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20080261287Metabolic Engineering of Xylos Fermentation - The present invention relates to further genetic modifications in eukaryotic host cells that have been transformed to express a xylose isomerase that confers the host cell the ability of isomerising xylose to xylulose. The further genetic modifications are aimed at improving the efficiency of xylose metabolism and include e.g. reduction of unspecific aldose reductase activity, increased xylulose kinase activity and increased flux of the pentose phosphate pathway. The modified host cells of the invention are suitable for the production of a wide variety of fermentation products, including ethanol, in fermentation processes in which a source of xylose or a source of xylose and glucose are used as carbon source.10-23-2008
20100036174BUTANOL PRODUCTION IN A EUKARYOTIC CELL - The present invention relates to a transformed eukaryotic cell comprising one or more nucleotide sequence(s) encoding acetyl-CoA acetyltransferase, 3-hydroxybutyryl-CoA dehydrogenase, 3-hydroxybutyryl-CoA dehydratase, butyryl-CoA dehydrogenase, alcohol dehydrogenase or acetaldehyde dehydrogenase and/or NAD(P)H-dependent butanol dehydrogenase, whereby the nucleotide sequence(s) upon transformation of the cell confer(s) the cell the ability to produce butanol. The invention also relates to a process for the production of butanol.02-11-2010
20110143402DEGRADATION OF LIGNOCELLULOSIC MATERIAL - The present invention describes a method for the treatment of lignocellulosic material which method comprises contacting said lignocellulosic material with a composition comprising two or more enzyme activities, said enzyme activities being cellulase and/or hemicellulase activities, wherein the pH during the treatment is about 4.5 or lower, and the treatment is carried out at a dry matter content of 15% or more.06-16-2011

20100062947CIRCULAR CHROMOSOME CONFORMATION CAPTURE (4C) - The present invention relates in one aspect to a method for analysing the frequency of interaction of a target nucleotide sequence with one or more nucleotide sequences of interest (eg. one or more genomic loci) comprising the steps of: (a) providing a sample of cross-linked DNA; (b) digesting the cross-linked DNA with a primary restriction enzyme; (c) ligating the cross-linked nucleotide sequences; (d) reversing the cross linking; (e) optionally digesting the nucleotide sequences with a secondary restriction enzyme; (f) optionally ligating one or more DNA sequences of known nucleotide composition to the available secondary restriction enzyme digestion site(s) that flank the one or more nucleotide sequences of interest; (g) amplifying the one or more nucleotide sequences of interest using at least two oligonucleotide primers, wherein each primer hybridises to the DNA sequences that flank the nucleotide sequences of interest; (h) hybridising the amplified sequence(s) to an array; and (i) determining the frequency of interaction between the DNA sequences.03-11-2010
