  • Lysophospholipase
    Publication number: 20050009068
    Abstract: The inventors have isolated lysophospholipases from Aspergillus (A. niger and A. oryzae) having molecular masses of about 68 kDa and amino acid sequences of 600-604 amino acid residues.

  • Stereoselective estarase from aspergillus oryzae
    Publication number: 20030199048
    Abstract: An esterase isolated from Aspergillus oryzae is capable of stereoselective hydrolysis of chiral esters and also has arylesterase activity (EC 3.1.1.2) and feruloyl esterase activity (EC 3.1.1.73). The esterase has only a limited homology to known amino acid sequences.

  • Carbohydrate oxidase and use thereof in baking
    Publication number: 20030180416
    Abstract: The properties of dough or bread can be improved by the addition of a carbohydrate oxidase which can oxidize the reducing end of an oligosaccharide more efficiently than the corresponding monosaccharide, e.g., preferentially oxidizing maltodextrins or cellodextrins over glucose.

  • Method and device in telecommunications network
    Patent number: 6188758
    Abstract: A method and an apparatus manually route incoming calls in a network in which an individual subscriber may be reached by the same telephone number on a number of different terminals, depending on, e.g., the type of incoming call and the time of day. An incoming call is automatically directed to one telephone, from which the subscriber may select to direct the call, e.g., to a fax machine, or an answering service. The terminals in question may be specified by the subscriber and identified by short numbers. An SSP and an SCP may be adapted to perform the service.

  • Computer-aided generation of programs modelling complex systems using colored petri nets
    Patent number: 5257363
    Abstract: A method and system in which a programmed digital computer serving as a graphical "engine" is employed to construct an executable model for a complex system using a hierarchy of so called "Colored" Petri nets (CPN's or CP-nets). The operation of the complex system is specified in terms of a graphical net structure and formal net inscriptions, such as arc expressions and guards, which ensure development of a program, or executable model, and associated data structures, properly defining the system. Sophisticated syntax checks and other tools are provided for ensuring that the model so constructed conforms to a set of rules which guarantee valid system behavior.
