  • Publication number: 20180372912
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a high-resolution precipitation compensation system and method. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to a high-resolution precipitation compensation system and method in which reanalysis data are input as initial data to a high-resolution quantitative precipitation model (QPM), then weights are respectively applied to precipitation data derived from the QPM, radar echo precipitation data and satellite precipitation data, thereby to obtain resulting compensated precipitation data. According to the present disclosure, the reanalysis data is applied as initial data to the high-resolution quantitative precipitation model to obtain precipitation data with a resolution of 0.1 to 1.0 km and a relatively small error for the target region.

  • Publication number: 20110273430
    Abstract: In an embodiment, a voltage level shifter circuit includes a first terminal configured to be connected to a high voltage supply rail (Vs+), a second terminal configured to be connected to a low voltage supply rail (Vs?), and an output voltage (VOUT) terminal. The voltage level shifter can also include a compensation voltage (VCOMP) node. Additionally, the voltage level shifter includes a plurality of switches configurable in a plurality of configurations, and control circuitry configured to control the switches so that in at least one of the configurations a load connected to the output voltage (VOUT) terminal does not draw any power from the low voltage supply rail (Vs?) and the high voltage supply rail (Vs+). The load can be, e.g., a gate drive circuit of a display panel, such as a thin film transistor-liquid crystal display (TFT-LCD) panel, but is not limited thereto.

  • Patent number: 6867353
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for producing recombinant rotavirus structural proteins by culturing a transformed plant cell, and to a vaccine composition comprising the same as an effective component. More specifically, the method comprises the steps of preparing the expression vector comprising cDNA fragments encoding rotavirus structural proteins; transforming a plant cell with the expression vector; and recovering the vaccine composition, including rotavirus antigens, from the cell culture. The method for producing the recombinant rotavirus structural proteins is advantageous in that higher yields of more than 0.3 mg/L are obtained, as well as a lower cost and a lower contamination hazard than those of eukaryotic expression systems such as baculovirus and animal cell. Furthermore, the method can be used to produce a edible vaccine. The invention also proves that the rotavirus structural protein can be produced with a high aspect rotary vessel reactor.

  • Publication number: 20030175303
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for producing recombinant human rotavirus structural proteins by culturing transformed plant cell, and to a vaccine composition comprising the same as an effective component. More specifically, the method comprises the steps of preparing the recombinant expression plasmid comprising cDNA fragment encoding human rotavirus structural protein; transforming plant cell with the expression plasmid; and recovering the vaccine composition including the rotavirus antigen from cell culture. The method for producing the recombinant human rotavirus structural proteins has advantages in higher yield of more than 0.3 mg/L, lower cost and lower contamination hazard than those of the eukaryotic expression system such as baculovirus and animal cell, and can be used for producing edible vaccine. Also, the invention shows that the human rotavirus structural protein can be produced with the high aspect rotary vessel reactor.
