Abstract: The present invention relates to a depilling composition comprising an enzyme mixture that comprises a Family 45 cellulase and one or more additional cellulases selected from a Family 5 cellulase, a Family 6 cellulase or a combination thereof. The enzyme mixture may be characterized in that the Family 45 and Family 5 cellulases or the Family 45 and Family 6 cellulases are present at a weight ratio that exhibits synergy in an assay that measures specific depilling activity. The enzyme mixture may be secreted by a genetically modified microbe overexpressing the foregoing cellulases. Also provided is a process for depilling that comprises a step of contacting cellulose-containing goods with the depilling composition.

Abstract: The present invention provides a pin and tumbler cylinder lock and a retrofitted cylinder lock which minimizes unauthorized openings of the lock by bumping. The cylinder lock utilizes specially designed driver pins which are correlated in size to the largest possible stack height of the tumbler pins with a bump key inserted in the plug portion of the lock and the shear line height of the lock. All the driver pins are about the same height and preferably symmetrical with a lip on each end. The invention also provides a method for retrofitting existing locks by removing at least one of the driver pins and replacing the removed driver pin or pins with the driver pins of the invention.

Abstract: A bistatic laser radar (lidar) device is described that comprises a transmit channel (60) for forming a focused transmit beam, and a receive channel (62) for forming a focused receive beam. The device is arranged such that the focus of the transmit beam and the focus of the receive beam fall on a common axis when focused to a distance within the operable distance range of the device. The device may be used for vibrometry, wind speed measurements and the like. Implementation of such a device using optical fiber based components is described.
