Abstract: The present invention relates to the biocatalytic production of glycosides. In particular, the invention discloses a method to produce alkylcellobiosides, arylcellobiosides, cellobiolipids, cellotriolipids, glucosophorolipids and cellobiosesophorolipids via the usage of a cellodextrin phosphorylase (CDP) derived from Clostridium stercorarium (CsCDP). The method of the present invention is feasible for use in industrial glycosylation processes and has advantageous properties compared to classical as chemical glycosylation reactions. Moreover, said method can also be employed to produce corresponding lactosides such a lactolipids when a-galactose-1-phosphate instead of a-glucose-1-phosphate is used as a donor.

Abstract: A disaster-proof data safe with multiple, insulated, surrounding solid structural metal walls for housing functioning digital electronic computing, data processing, data storage, communications and high power density blade server systems has one or more coaxial helical coil coolant tubes circulating a coolant liquid encircled around an interior hexahedral, housing space for removing heat generated in the housing space and insulating the housing space from sources of heat external to the safe. Features of the safe include a plurality of longitudinal heat sink bars thermally coupled to the encircling helical coil coolant tubes supported either by the helical coil coolant tubes or the interior structural metal sidewalls of the housing space. The helical coil coolant tubes and the heat sink bars are preferably composed from metals such as copper, aluminum and their alloys that have a high thermal conductivity and that retain structural integrity at temperature ranging up to 500° C.

Abstract: A probe system for facilitating the inspection of a device under test. System incorporates a storage rack; a probe bar gantry assembly; a probe assembly configured to electrically mate the device under test; and a robot system for picking the probe assembly from the storage rack and deliver the probe assembly to the probe bar gantry. The robot system is also enabled to pick a probe assembly from the probe bar gantry and deliver the probe assembly to the storage rack. The probe assembly includes a clamping assembly for attaching the probe assembly to the probe bar gantry or the storage rack. The probe assembly may include an array of contact pins configured to mate with conductive pads on the device under test when the probe assembly is installed on the probe bar gantry assembly.

Abstract: A clock and data recovery circuit (CDR) for receiving high-speed digital data, and having an analog phase offset control capability, is improved by providing an adaptive sampling edge position control. A differential circuit samples the raw data signal at three closely spaced sampling points of the eye, and compares advanced and delayed sampled data with the nominal sampled data. If either the advanced or delayed sampled data differ from the nominal sampled data, i.e. if advanced or delayed errors are detected, a shift in the sampling edge position may be required. A logic circuit performs a method determining the occurrence of advanced or delayed errors over progressively longer time intervals, and to adjust the sampling edge position of the CDR by controlling the phase offset.

Abstract: A diffusion barrier system for a display device comprising a layer system with at least two layers of dielectric material, wherein at least two adjacent layers of that layer system comprise the same material. A respective method for manufacturing such a diffusion barrier system in a single process chamber of a plasma deposition system has the steps of introducing a substrate to be treated in said process chamber, discretely varying in a controlled manner during deposition at least one process parameter in the process chamber, without completely interrupting such process parameter, which results in layers with different properties and finally unloading said substrate from said process.

Abstract: A system performs continuous full linear scan of a flat media. The system includes, in part, a chuck, and at least first, second and third gantries. The chuck is adapted to support the flat media during the test. The first gantry includes at least one linear array of non-contacting sensors that spans the width of the flat media and is adapted to move across an entire length of the flat media. Each of the second and third gantries includes a probe head that spans the width of the flat media and each is adapted to apply an electrical signal to the flat media. Each probe head is further adapted to move along a direction substantially perpendicular to the surface of the flat media during the times when the first gantry is in motion and while test signals are being continuously applied.
