Abstract:
The present disclosure provides antibody cytokine engrafted proteins that bind to and stimulate intracellular signaling through a high affinity interleukin receptor. The antibody cytokine engrafted proteins find use in enhancing anti-inflammatory cell responses, and reducing pro-inflammatory effects in the treatment, amelioration and prevention of immune related disorders such as Type 1 Diabetes.

Abstract:
Automated grinder systems include several different automatic functions including liquid and substrate soaking, mixing, grinding, fermenting, and cleaning. Example grinders include storages for soaking and draining a substrate for grinding, a water or other fluid reservoir connected to provide soaking material, and a grinder connected to the storage to receive and grind the substrate. A resting unit may receive the ground batter and potentially ferment the same by controlling its temperature, humidity, pH, etc. Jets may be connected to a water reservoir and direct liquid water into the grinder, potentially with soap, to cleanse the same.
Abstract:
The present invention provides an inbred corn line designated ID3517, methods for producing a corn plant by crossing plants of the inbred line ID3517 with plants of another corn plant. The invention further encompasses all parts of inbred corn line ID3517, including culturable cells. Additionally provided herein are methods for introducing transgenes into inbred corn line ID3517, and plants produced according to these methods.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to plant cells and plants, which are genetically modified, whereby the genetic modification leads to an increase in the activity of a starch-phosphorylating OK1 protein in comparison to the corresponding wild type plant cells or wild type plants that have not been genetically modified. In addition, the present invention concerns means and methods for the manufacture of such plant cells and plants. These types of plant cells and plants synthesize a modified starch. Therefore, the present invention also concerns the starches synthesized from the plant cells and plants according to the invention, methods for manufacturing these starches, and the manufacture of starch derivatives of these modified starches, as well as flours containing starches according to the invention.Furthermore, the present invention also relates to nucleic acids, coding starch-phosphorylating OK1 proteins, vectors, host cells, plant cells, and plants containing such nucleic acid molecules. In addition, the present invention relates to OK1 proteins that have starch-phosphorylating activity.
Abstract:
Wheat having a reduced level of SBEIIa activity, that may have a relative high amylose content. Wheat having a mutant SBEIIa gene in the A genome. The wheat might additionally have reduced levels of SBEIIb activity. The wheat grain of this invention can be of a non-shrunken phenotype despite a lesion in the amylopectin synthesis pathway, and may also have a high relative amylose content.
Abstract:
A recombined whole grain flour for use in preparing whole grain products such that whole grain particulates provide minimal visual impact to the whole grain product. By selectively controlling the particle size of the milled bran and germ constituents used in the recombined whole grain flour, the visual and color impact associated with bran and germ particulates can be substantially eliminated from the whole grain product. In particular, whole grain products such as whole grain breads, dough products, mixes and biscuits can be made with recombined whole grain flour. Whole grain products made with recombined whole grain flour are advantageous in that they incorporate the health advantages associated with whole grains while eliminating the characteristic, visual color differences noticeable within a whole grain crumb due to visually identifiable bran and germ particulates found in traditional whole grain products.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a mill for milling rough, stone-like bulk material, comprising a milling plate (4) turnable around a vertical rotation axis (5). The milling plate (4) is driven by an electric motor (6), comprising a crankshaft (7) and a shaft axis (8). The electric motor (6) is arranged directly under the milling plate (4). The shaft axis (8) runs perpendicular.
Abstract:
A garment sorter for semi-automating the sorting of bulk used clothing, and a method of sorting such clothing. Bales of clothing are uncompressed, and single articles of clothing are fed to an operator. Equally, the system can be used for sorting loose clothing. The operator identifies the article verbally, or by keypad entry. Voice recognition software, or other appropriate application software, recognizes the identification, and associates an address with the identified article. The article is then fed to a compacting device that ensures that it is retained within a certain length along a transfer conveyor. The compacted article is then transported to transfer station where a pneumatic pusher, under the control of a PLC, pushes the identified article off the conveyor into a bin, or secondary sort system.
Abstract:
In a grain milling machine, a milling chamber 25 is defined by a gap between a cylindrical body 24 and a rotating body 23, and grinding plates 27 and 28 are arranged on both facing surfaces of the milling chamber 25. On the surface of at least one of the grinding plates 27 and 28, polyhedral hard diamond abrasive grains are deposited. The grinding plate 27 provided on the side of the cylindrical body 24 is fixed, and the grinding plate 28 provided on the side of the rotating body 24 moves with respect to the grinding plate 27, so that the surfaces of grains fed into the milling chamber 25 are ground by the grinding function applied between the grinding plates 27 and 28. Thus, it is possible to maintain sufficient grinding force and to carry out efficient and high-quality grain milling without the need of any complicated maintenance of the machine.
