Abstract: Hydrolysis and degradation of cellulose-containing biomass by use of a polypeptide having cellulase activity is provided. Also provided are polypeptides having cellulase activity, such as archaeal cellulases, polynucleotides encoding the polypeptides, and compositions containing the polypeptides, and methods of use thereof.

Abstract: A bin support bracket apparatus is provided for mounting in holes in a peg board and includes a pair of support rods, wherein each support rod includes top hole-engaging means and a bracket-supporting portion which extends downward from the top hole-engaging means. In addition, a bin-support bracket is connected between the support rods. Preferably, the bin-support bracket also includes a forwardly and upwardly projecting bin-support flange portion. One or more storage bins are supported by the bin-support bracket. Each storage bin includes a lip which engages the bin-support flange portion for supporting the storage bin on the bin-support bracket. In addition, the bin-support bracket includes a forwardly and downwardly projecting bin-levelling flange portion which keeps a supported storage bin in a vertical orientation.

Abstract: A data transmission system comprising a transmitter and a receiver that use a single external word clock to generate all needed clocks locally using a clock generator and a phase locked loop. Data words are transmitted on a transmission line based on a single transition of the word clock. The transmitter and receiver may each be incorporated on a single chip.

Abstract: A handheld automatic number plate recognition system comprising a handheld personal computer and a camera, the camera being operable to capture images and the computer including a processor to identify a number plate from an image captured by the camera.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for interconnecting digital and analog circuitry on separate substrates within a single integrated chip package attenuates logic level signals on one substrate, transmits the attenuated signals to another substrate, and amplifies the attenuated signals back to logic level signals.

Abstract: A watermarking procedure wherein each of a set of copies of the work has a slightly-modified form of a "baseline" watermark that is placed within a critical region of the data. The slight variations in the watermarks, however, are not perceptually visible and do not interfere with the work. If multiple persons collude to attempt to create an "illicit" copy of the work (i.e., a copy without a watermark), however, at least one of the modified watermarks is present in the copy, thereby identifying both the illicit copy and the copier.
