  • Patent number: 9701977
    Abstract: Prephenate dehydrogenases and arogenate dehydrogenase polynucleotide and polypeptide sequences are provided herein. These polypeptides are all insensitive to effector based feedback inhibition. Polypeptides with these activities and lacking feedback inhibition by the product were not previously identified and characterized from plants. The polypeptides may be used to generate constructs and transgenic cells or plants. Methods of increasing production of products of the tyrosine or HPP pathway by increasing expression of the polynucleotides provided herein in plants or cells overexpressing the polypeptides are provided. In addition overexpression of the polypeptides in plant cells increases resistance to herbicides.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8700515
    Abstract: A security-to-entity crosswalk system and method link business entity information to financial security information to provide risk insight about the business entity associated with a given security. The system comprises a collection of financial securities data, a collection of business entity data, and an integration component. The integration component links the collection of financial securities data with the collection of business entity data into a collection of master data. A business entity identifier is appended to an issuing entity in a collection of data. The business entity identifier is linked to a financial security identifier in the collection of data. Business information associated with said issuing entity is provided.

  • Patent number: 6574898
    Abstract: Revolver frame and barrel assembly including a frame, a barrel shroud carrying a sight and keyed in sight alignment with the frame, and a generally cylindrical barrel having a rifled bore and extending through the barrel shroud and threadably engaged in the frame retaining the shroud in assembly with the frame. An assembly tool engaged with and complementing the rifling grooves in the barrel applies predetermined torque to the barrel to assemble it with the frame.
