  • Patent number: 6784902
    Abstract: A graphical program development system for developing a graphical program, wherein the development system utilizes a configuration matrix for representing the graphical program. The matrix may graphically illustrate or specify the operation of the computer program. The matrix may comprise columns (or rows) displayed on the display device, including one or more columns which comprise symbols for functional elements and one or more interconnection columns that include interconnections between two or more of the symbols for functional elements. Once the matrix (the computer program) has been created, the computer program may be executed, wherein the computer program executes according to the interconnected symbols for functional elements displayed in the matrix.

  • Patent number: 6303345
    Abstract: Described is the characterization and the use of strong viral promoters for expressing genes, in bacteria and fungi, in particular yeasts. The invention is based on the surprising finding that CFDV DNA (coconut foliar decay virus DNA) and CFDV DNA fragments contain a region which is active as promoter even in bacteria and fungi, in particular yeasts, although they are derived from a virus which infects monocotyledonous plants. The activity of the promoters described in E. coli is distinctly higher than that of the CaMV 35S promoter, which is also active in bacteria.

  • Patent number: 5708686
    Abstract: In a method for receiver-side clock recovery for digital signals having a constant bit rate following cell-structured, asynchronous transmission with pauses of different length between individual cells using the loading state of an FIFO memory into which the received digital signals are written, at the start of a transmission the digital signals are initially read with a received clock into the FIFO memory holding multiple cells of the received signals until the FIFO memory is half filled. The digital signals written into the FIFO memory are read out with a readout clock whose frequency is smaller than the frequency of the received clock. During the readout a signal for controlling the frequency of the readout clock is derived from the respective loading state of the FIFO memory.
