  • Data transmitting circuit and method based on differential value data encoding
    Patent number: 7170431
    Abstract: Disclosed is a data transmitting circuit and a method based on a differential value data encoding to reduce a data transmitting time by transmitting an encoded differential value. The circuit comprises an encoder for encoding and outputting a differential value between a currently transmitted data value and a previously transmitted data value, wherein the encoder inverts a phase of one output signal among 2n(namely, N)-output signals in response to n-bit input value and outputs an encoded data value; and a decoder for decoding the output value of the encoder and restoring the original data value, wherein the decoder restores the original data value by adding an output value from the encoder and the previous original data value.

  • Production of enzymes in seeds and their use
    Patent number: 7033627
    Abstract: A method of catalyzing in vitro reactions using seeds containing enhanced amounts of enzymes is disclosed. The method involves adding transgenic, non-wild type seeds, preferably in a ground form, to a reaction mixture, especially a bakery process and allowing the enzymes in the seeds to increase the rate of reaction. By directly adding the seeds to the reaction mixture the method provides a solution to the expensive and problematic process of extracting and purifying the enzyme. Methods of treatment are also provided whereby a subject lacking a sufficient supply of an enzyme is administered the enzyme in the form of seeds containing enhanced amounts of the enzyme.

  • Process for the preparation of an antibiotic
    Patent number: 6503727
    Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the preparation of an antibiotic, in particular cefalexin, ampicillin, amoxicillin, cefaclor, cefradin, cefadroxil, cefotaxim and the like, wherein a beta-lactam core is acylated, the antibiotic is recovered from the reaction mixture, the remaining mother liquor is subjected to a hydrolysis reaction in which the antibiotic present in the mother liquor is decomposed into its initial compounds, in particular the beta-lactam core, and the acylation agent is hydrolized. The beta-lactam core can then be recovered virtually quantitatively or recycled to the acylation reaction. This is because it has been found that the solubility of the beta-lactam core is unexpectedly high at relatively high concentrations of acylation agent and antibiotic.
