Patent number: 7323327Abstract: The invention relates to newly identified gene sequences that encode novel proteases obtainable from Aspergillus niger. The invention features the full length gene sequence of the novel genes, their cDNA sequences as well as the full-length functional protein and fragments thereof. The invention also relates to methods of using these enzymes in industrial processes and methods of diagnosing fungal infections. Also included in the invention are cells transformed with DNA according to the invention and cells wherein a protease according to the invention is genetically modified to enhance or reduce its activity and/or level of expression.Type: GrantFiled: February 22, 2002Date of Patent: January 29, 2008Assignee: DSM IP Assets B.V.Inventors: Luppo Edens, Albertus Van Dijk, Philipp Krubasik, Kaj Albermann, Alexander Stock, Erik Kimpel, Sabine Klugbauer, Christian Wagner, Andreas Fritz, Wilk Von Gustedt, Oliver Heinrich, Dieter Maier, Fabio Spreafico, Ulrike Folkers, Sylvia Hopper, Wolfram Kemmner, Pamela Tan, Josephine Stiebler, Richard Albang

Patent number: 7159673Abstract: A drilling system and method for drilling a borehole into an earth formation is provided. The drilling system has a drill string having a lower section provided with a sleeve which is radially expandable from a retracted mode in which the sleeve extends around the lower drill string section and is releasably connected thereto, to an expanded mode in which the sleeve is released from the lower drill string section and is expanded against the borehole wall. The drilling system further has a control means for selectively releasing the sleeve from the lower drill string section and expanding the sleeve against the borehole wall.Type: GrantFiled: April 26, 2002Date of Patent: January 9, 2007Assignee: Shell Oil CompanyInventor: Robert Albertus Van Dijk
