摘要:
The present invention provides compositions and methods for producing products by photosynthetic organisms. The photosynthetic organisms are genetically modified to effect production, secretion, or both, of products. The methods and compositions are particularly useful in the petrochemical industry.
摘要:
An analog-to-digital converter (ADC) is provided to determine a digital output value according to whether electric current flows between a plurality of probes, to which an input voltage is applied, and a plurality of electrodes. Therefore, high resolution and high speed operation is possible, but with lower power consumption.
摘要:
Systems and methods that control the size and composition of emulsified droplets, multi-lamellar and asymmetric vesicles, encapsulation of reagents, membrane proteins, and sorting of vesicles/droplets. More particularly, microfluidic devices for controlled viscous shearing of oil-water emulsions of micro- and nano-scale droplets, the subsequent formation of amphiphilic vesicles such as liposomes, polymer vesicles, micelles, and the like, the post-assembly and post-processing of the droplets including splitting, fusing, sorting and the like, polymer emulsions, and the integration of amphiphilic vesicle production-line on a single microfluidic chip. Preferably, the microfluidic device enables oil-water co-flows with tunable viscous shear forces higher than the immiscible interfacial tension forces that generate favorable conditions for droplet formation.
摘要:
A cassette for preparing a sample is disclosed herein. The cassette includes a housing, which encloses the structures and the processes used to prepare the sample.
摘要:
A method and apparatus are described for automatic processing of electronic communications in a networked computer environment. The invention facilitates the appropriate form of translation of the communication to suit the circumstance. The communication is identified as a foreign language communication, a quotation program is optionally applied to calculate the cost of a human translation and a machine translation program is optionally applied to the foreign language communication. The communication, optional quotation and optional machine translation are forwarded to a recipient. The method is transparent to the sender and receiver.
摘要:
A method of ordering a translation of an electronic communication, such as a web page or an email, using a one-click translation component displayed on the web page or in the email. Clicking the one-click translation component automatically requests a translation of the selected communication and returns the communication to the user. The method is controlled by a translation manager that obtains the translation and directs transmission of the translation to the user.A single-click translation system for working the method is also described.
摘要:
An active debugging environment for debugging a virtual application that contains program language code from multiple compiled and/or interpreted programming languages. The active debugging environment is language neutral and host neutral, where the host is a standard content centric script host with language engines for each of the multiple compiled and/or interpreted programming languages represented in the virtual application. The active debugging environment user interface can be of any debug tool interface design. The language neutral and host neutral active debugging environment is facilitated by a process debug manager that catalogs and manages application specific components, and a machine debug manager that catalogs and manages the various applications that comprise a virtual application being run by the script host. The process debug manager and the machine debug manager act as an interface between the language engine specific programming language details and the debug user interface.
摘要:
An adjustable thermally insulating beverage jacket has two fastener portions disposed at opposite ends of a flexible body portion, which can be attached to each other in order to accommodate a beverage container. The flexible body portion is made of a thermally insulating material to keep beverages cold or warm. A handle insertion portion at one end of the flexible body portion allows use with beverage containers that have handles. A base connected to the bottom edge of the flexible body portion provides a support surface for the bottom of the beverage container.
