Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20080274520Novel Gene Sms 37 - 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.11-06-2008

20080246568ELECTROMAGNETIC ACTUATOR - Electromagnetic actuator having an armature unit which is axially guided in a housing and movable by passing current through a coil device and in particular against a return force of a return spring out of a first stop position defined by means for limiting the stroke, the means for limiting the stroke having a stop element which is mounted terminally in the housing and manufactured by a shaping, stamping, sintering and/or injection moulding method, and which is designed to cooperate with a plunger unit which can be actuated outside the housing and is designed for mechanically moving the armature out of the first stop position.10-09-2008
20080246570Electromagnetic actuating apparatus - The invention relates to an electromagnetic actuating apparatus with an armature unit, which is guided axially in a housing and is capable of being moved by means of energizing a coil apparatus, contact plug means, which are held in an insulator unit, being associated with the coil apparatus, and an elongated ground contact of the contact plug means being electrically conductively connected to the housing, and the ground contact interacting electrically conductively at an engagement end which is opposite its free end with a yoke section, which is associated with the housing preferably at the front end, in such a way that, in a fitted state, a cutout formed in the engagement end in the ground contact engages over a projection of the yoke section and/or at least partially surrounds it.10-09-2008

20100262449CONTEXT BASED MOBILE MARKETING - A marketing system is provided that leverages context information including location as well as extrinsic data, among other things. Advertisers can create and register advertisements or promotional offers with the system. System users can create a profile comprising preferences that identify desirable advertisement. A correlation component is then employed to match advertisements to users as a function of preferences, location, and extrinsic data. Subsequently matched advertisements are delivered to a user, for example by way of a mobile computing device.10-14-2010
20100262464ACTIVE LEARNING AND ADVANCED RELATIONSHIP MARKETING - Active learning and advanced relationship marketing are employed with respect to a mobile marketing system. A relationship between an advertiser and a consumer can become smarter over time as a function of interaction as well as non-interaction. Further, affinity groups or micro segments can be identified to aid tailoring of advertisements to consumers. Consumers can additionally be engaged in a dialog to acquire additional information and/or feedback data to develop a further understanding of specific consumers. Still further yet, assistance can be provided to advertisers so that advertisements can be customized for needs of potential customers.10-14-2010

20100323384LABELING OF HUMAN EPIDERMAL STEM CELLS - The present invention provides skin equivalents comprising human epidermal stem cells which are specifically labeled. The labeling is carried out with a marker capable of labeling slowly proliferating cells, e.g. iododeoxyuridine or PKH26. Particularly, the invention provides skin equivalents comprising labeled epidermal stem cells. The invention also provides corresponding uses and methods of using such cultures, e.g. in the fields of research and medical treatment of skin diseases.12-23-2010
