  • Dynamic reflectarray technology for electro-optical sensors
    Patent number: 8223423
    Abstract: An array of two or more tunable electro-optical reflecting elements where the phase response of one or more elements may be adjusted by a variety of approaches including, but not limited to: a liquid crystal superstrate, schottky contact(s), ultra-violet radiation pulses, and illumination of photoconductive substrates. Methods and apparatus for direct and/or adaptive control of phase response via the above approaches are also discussed.

  • Direct enzyme agglomeration process
    Patent number: 6431370
    Abstract: Detergent formulations are prepared by directly agglomerating a fermentation broth extract, containing a detergent-type enzyme and a nonionic detergent-type surfactant, with a suitable detergent base mixture, without need for prior isolation of the enzyme.

  • Crystalline cellulase and method for producing same
    Patent number: 6190898
    Abstract: A method for preparing a crystalline cellulase enzyme is provided which comprises preparing an aqueous solution containing cellulase enzyme and adding to the aqueous solution a salt comprising an anion selected from the group consisting of sulfate, phosphate, formate, acetate, sorbate, chloride, bromide, fluoride or iodide, and a cation selected from the group consisting of sodium, ammonium, magnesium, potassium or calcium, wherein the aqueous solution is at a temperature between 10° C. and 60° C.

  • Surfactant-based extraction process
    Patent number: 6105786
    Abstract: A process is disclosed for preparing a detergent powder containing enzymes where the enzymes are extracted from a fermentation broth with a salt and surfactant mixture and directly agglomerated with detergent paste and dried to form the detergent powder. The process results in a two phase system where the enzyme is extracted into the surfactant rich phase and the second phase is salt rich. The process is especially useful for whole or clarified fermentation broths.
