Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for producing a heterologous protein by means of an E. coli strain in a fermentation medium. The process comprises fermenting an E. coli strain in a fermentation medium. The E. coli strain has a mutation in the lpp gene or in the promoter region of the lpp gene, and contains a gene coding for a heterologous protein which is functionally linked to a signal sequence coding for a signal peptide. The fermentation medium includes Ca2+ ions in a concentration above 4 mg/l or Mg2+ ions in a concentration above 48 mg/l. The E. coli strain secretes the heterologous protein into the fermentation medium. The protein is removed from the fermentation medium.

Abstract: A system for transmitting data between a transmitter and a receiver on a communication network connecting a number of components, especially in a motor vehicle, has a CAN transceiver which converts logic signals into bus data signals downstream of each transmitter. A non-inductive symmetrical CAN filter is connected downstream of each CAN bus transceiver. The CAN filter has at least two impedances and it is preferably implemented as an X2Y capacitor.

Abstract: A device for regulated heating of media in a dental handpiece has at least one media line which can be opened via a switch, a heating element associated with the media line, a temperature sensor detecting the temperature of the medium and a regulation circuit which is connected with the temperature sensor and controls the heating element in dependence upon the sensor signals. After actuation of the switch the heating element is operated for a short period of time at a predetermined heating power independent of the output signal of the regulation circuit, in order to heat the medium as rapidly as possible to the required temperature.
