  • Publication number: 20240117388
    Abstract: Enzymes and recombinant host cells for the biosynthesis of clinically important prenylated polyketides of the cannabinoid family are provided. Using readily available starting materials, heterologous enzymes (e.g., bacterial CoA-transferases and CoA-ligases) are used to direct cannabinoid biosynthesis in host cells such as recombinant yeast cells.

  • Patent number: 8878073
    Abstract: A printed circuit board is provided. The printed circuit board includes a base having a top and a bottom. The top has a first circuit area, a second circuit area and a slotted area disposed between the first circuit area and the second circuit area. The slotted area includes a first row of a plurality of first slots, each first slot of the plurality of first slots has a first length and is separated from an adjacent first slot by a first space. The slotted area includes a second row of a plurality of second slots that is positioned parallel with respect to the first row. Each second slot of the plurality of second slots has a second length that is different than the first length and is separated from an adjacent second slot by a second space. The second space includes a different length than the first space.

  • Patent number: 8520355
    Abstract: Protection of a motor controller from a transient voltage is described. A method for protecting a motor controller from a transient voltage includes providing an electromagnetic interference (EMI) filter having at least a first input terminal, a second input terminal, a first output terminal, and a second output terminal, the EMI filter configured to suppress electromagnetic interference. The method also includes coupling a first voltage clamping device and a second voltage clamping device in series between the first output terminal and the second output terminal. The method also includes coupling a spark gap device to a ground conductor and to a shared node between the first voltage clamping device and the second voltage clamping device.

  • Patent number: 5825107
    Abstract: A drive package for a dynamoelectric machine mounts a printed wire board in cantilever fashion from a wall of a drive package housing. Potting material in the housing provides mechanical support for the printed wire board away from the heat sink. Heat generating components on the first printed wire board have tubes of electrically insulating, thermally conductive material inserted over them and are clamped against the heat sink. The heat sink is mounted directly to the housing and is electrically grounded by the housing.
