Abstract:
A method for producing coenzyme Q10 by using stock culture from solid phase fermentation. The strain used in this method is Rhodobacter sphaeroides. Strain passaging is carried out by culturing in a slant medium. After steam cooking and air drying, solid medium is subpackaged and sterilized, wherein said solid medium includes solid components and liquid components. The fresh culture of Rhodobacter sphaeroides on the slant medium is added with sterile water, and the resultant bacterial suspension is added into the solid medium, cultured and used as stock culture for primary fermentation. The method of the present invention can enhance the fermentation level of coenzyme Q10, reduce the cascades of fermentation, shorten production cycle, simplify production processes, and lower production cost.
Abstract:
A method for manufacturing a magnetic write head for perpendicular magnetic recording. The method includes forming a write pole using a mask that includes a hard mask layer deposited over the write pole laminate material, and a thick, physically robust image transfer layer. The image transfer layer can be a material such as AlTiO that can be patterned by a reactive ion etching process, but which also resists deformation during processing. This process allows a write pole and wrap-around trailing shield to be constructed at very narrow track widths without the mask deformation and fencing problems experienced by prior art methods.
Abstract:
A magnetic write head for perpendicular magnetic data recording. The write head includes a substrate and a magnetic write pole formed on the substrate, the write pole having a trailing edge and first and second sides. A magnetic stitched pole is formed over a portion of the magnetic write pole, the stitched pole having a front edge that defines a secondary flare point. First and second non-magnetic side walls are formed at the first and second sides of the write pole. The non-magnetic side walls extend from the substrate at least to the trailing edge of the write pole in a first region near an air bearing surface and wherein the first and second non-magnetic side walls extend from the substrate to a point between the substrate and the trailing edge, allowing the stitched magnetic pole to extend partially over the sides of the write pole.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus for serial channel operation are disclosed. An N+1-level signaling scheme is used to transmit N staggered but overlapping NRZ sub-sequences concurrently on a serial channel. Each sequence has a bit rate R and an essential bandwidth of R Hz. The combined bit rate of the channel is N×R, but due to a lack of correlation between the sub-sequences, the essential bandwidth remains approximately R Hz. The signaling scheme also contains redundancy that allows some errors to be detected and/or corrected. Other embodiments are also described and claimed.
Abstract:
Methods, processes, uses, and pharmaceutical compositions are provided herein for mobilizing hematopoietic progenitor cells and/or cancer stem cells from bone marrow into peripheral blood, comprising the administration of an effective amount of an inhibitor of GTPases, such as a Cdc-42 specific inhibitor alone or in combination with one or more additional agents. Specifically, methods are disclosed for mobilizing hematopoietic stem cells into a subject's peripheral blood. In particular, embodiments of the method involve specific inhibition of the Cdc42 GTPase to increase the numbers of hematopoietic stem cells into a subject's peripheral blood of a subject.
Abstract:
A method for manufacturing a magnetic write head having a tapered write pole as well as a leading edge taper, and independent trailing and side magnetic shields. The method allows the write pole to be constructed by a dry process wherein the write pole material is either deposited by a process such as sputter deposition or electrically plated and the write pole shape is defined by masking and ion milling. The write pole has a stepped feature that can either be used to provide increased magnetic spacing between the trailing shield and the write pole at a location slightly recessed from the ABS or can be magnetic material that increases the effective thickness of the write pole at a location slightly recessed from the ABS. A bump structure can be further built over that stepped feature to enhance field gradient as well as reduce trailing shield saturation.
