Abstract: This invention relates to metabolically engineered microorganism strains, such as bacterial strains, in which there is an increased utilization of malonyl-CoA for production of a fatty acid or fatty acid derived product, wherein the modified microorganism produces fatty acyl-CoA intermediates via a malonyl-CoA dependent but malonyl-ACP independent mechanism.

Abstract: Apparatus, devices and methods of multiple high aspect ratio hydrodynamic horizontal ladder oriented vanes with pliable hinges and rotation limiting flexible webs attached between semi-flexible support beams on swim fins. Pivotal rotation of the hydrofoil vanes can be restricted by flexible membranes, between the hydrofoil vanes and the support beams, to provide an optimum angle of attack for the hydrofoil vanes during a swimming stroke. The fins can have at least one pivoting vane region connected to the support beams with a flexible hinge member. The support beams can be fixedly or rotationally attached at one end to a foot pocket. Methods are provided for limiting the rotation of at least one of the pivoting vanes using flexible web members between vanes and the support beams. Methods for increasing lift and decreasing turbulence and drag on hydrofoils or vanes of the swim fins are also included.

Abstract: A web based help desk includes a web server having memory storing a help desk web page. The web server allows remote user computers to access the web server via an internet or intranet connection thereby to access and display the help desk web page. A plurality of computers, operated by support specialists, are in communication with the web server to allow support specialists to communicate with remote users requiring support. The support specialists are selectable through the web page. A support specialist status application monitors the status of the support specialists and remote users requesting support and prompts the web server to establish a connection between a support specialist and a remote user when a support specialist becomes available. A method of providing support to a user operating a remote computer and a help desk web page are also provided.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods for producing coatings, such as wax or hot melt adhesive, onto the tops and necks of wine bottles or similar objects. A slot nozzle die has elongated air slots along a vertically oriented slot extrusion opening. A hot melt or wax gun is disposed above the bottle neck to apply a bead of adhesive to the bottle top. In the operation of the apparatus, the air flow is initiated from both air slots prior to the initiation of the hot melt flow and is continued beyond that point in time, when the hot melt flow ceases. The air carries a film of coating material horizontally to the bottle neck. Means are provided for spinning the bottle about its vertical axis. The delays between the operations of the air flow and the coating flow are on the order of micro seconds. The merged coatings are heated to smooth the coating finish to produce a traditional neck seal.
