20110256260 | METHODS AND COMPOSITIONS FOR SYNTHESIS OF LONG CHAIN POLYUNSATURATD FATTY ACIDS - The present invention relates to fatty acid desaturases able to catalyze the conversion of oleic acid linoleic acid, linoleic acid to γ-linolenic acid, or of alpha-linolenic acid to stearidonic acid. Nucleic acid sequences encoding desaturases, nucleic acid sequences which hybridize thereto, DNA constructs comprising a desaturase gene, and recombinant host microorganism or animal expressing increased levels of a desaturase are described. Methods for desaturating a fatty acid and for producing a desaturated fatty acid by expressing increased levels of a desaturase are disclosed. Fatty acids, and oils containing them, which have been desaturated by a desaturase produced by recombinant host microorganisms or animals are provided. Pharmaceutical compositions, infant formulas or dietary supplements containing fatty acids which have been desaturated by a desaturase produced by a recombinant host microorganism or animal also are described. | 10-20-2011 |

20080214667 | Elongase Gene and Uses Thereof - The subject invention relates to the identification of a gene involved in the elongation of polyunsaturated fatty acids containing unsaturation at the carbon 9 position (i.e., “Δ9-elongase”) and to uses thereof. In particular, Δ9-elongase may be utilized, for example, in the conversion of linoleic acid (LA, 18:2n-6) to eicosadienoic acid (EDA, 20:2n-6). The production of dihomo-γ-linolenic acid (DGLA, 20:3n-6) from eicosadienoic acid (EDA, 20:2n-6), and arachidonic acid (AA, 20:4n-6) from dihomo-γ-linolenic acid (DGLA, 20:3n-6) is then catalyzed by Δ8-desaturase and Δ5-desaturase, respectively. AA or polyunsaturated fatty acids produced therefrom may be added to pharmaceutical compositions, nutritional compositions, animal feeds, as well as other products such as cosmetics. | 09-04-2008 |
20090148919 | Delta 6-Desaturase Genes and Uses Thereof - The subject invention relates to the identification of genes involved in the desaturation of polyunsaturated fatty acids at carbon 6 (i.e., “Δ6-desaturase”). In particular, Δ6-desaturase may be utilized, for example, in the conversion of linoleic acid to γ-linolenic acid and in the conversion of α-linolenic acid stearidonic acid. The polyunsaturated fatty acids produced by use of the enzyme may be added to pharmaceutical compositions, nutritional compositions, animal feeds, as well as other products such as cosmetics. | 06-11-2009 |

20120291404 | CONTAINER PRESSURIZING AND SEALING APPARATUS AND METHODS OF PRESSURIZING CONTAINERS - A process for pressurizing a container assembly includes engaging the outer container around a neck of the outer container at a location between a shoulder of the outer container and a mouth of the outer container with a neck clamp device. The neck clamp device is used to support the outer container as the outer container moves from one location to a different location. An at least partial seal is formed about the neck of the outer container by engaging the neck clamp device with an outer bell member of a crimper-pressurized fluid fill head. | 11-22-2012 |

20100033093 | LOWER TURN PER INCH (TPI) ELECTRODES IN CERAMIC METAL HALIDE (CMH) LAMPS - An electrode assembly for a discharge lamp, particularly a ceramic metal halide (CMH) lamp, having a ceramic body defining a discharge chamber and at least one leg having an opening therethrough. An electrode assembly is received at least in part in the body, preferably including a niobium mandrel, a molybdenum mandrel, and a molybdenum overwind received over the mandrel. A tungsten portion is then joined to the molybdenum composite. Adjacent turns of the overwind are spaced by a gap to facilitate receipt of an associated seal material on the overwind and the molybdenum mandrel. The gap is approximately 10% to 50% of the dimension between adjacent turns of the overwind relative to a diameter of the overwind. | 02-11-2010 |
20150015144 | HIGH EFFICIENCY CERAMIC LAMP - Embodiments provide a ceramic metal halide (CMH) lamp and methods for making the same that provide or achieve, during lamp operation, a correlated color temperature (CCT) greater than 5000 K, a color rendering index (CRI) of 85 or greater, a lumen maintenance percentage (LM %) greater than 90%, and a life of at least 15,000 hours. | 01-15-2015 |
