A related apparatus for 3D printing an article, in particular a food article, is also proposed. A related method of 3D printing an article, in particular a food article is also proposed.

Abstract: A distal tip of a fluid velocity probe generally includes at least a portion of a housing having first and second sidewalls defining a passageway therebetween, the passageway having inlet and outlet regions. The first and second sidewalls each are substantially symmetrical along an axis extending in the direction of the passageway through the center of each sidewall. The distal tip further includes a mass flow sensor disposed in the passageway between the inlet and outlet regions.

Abstract: An air flow sensor includes a sensor element and a microcontroller, employing a PWM signal to drive the sensor element. Signals from the sensor element are processed by the microcontroller inside the sensor, resulting in continuous readings of air velocity and air temperature.

Abstract: Nucleic acid molecules are isolated from Sorangium cellulosum that encode polypeptides necessary for the biosynthesis of epothilone. Disclosed are methods for the production of epothilone in recombinant hosts transformed with the genes of the invention. In this manner, epothilone can be produced in quantities large enough to enable their purification and use in pharmaceutical formulations such as those for the treatment of cancer.

Abstract: Disclosed is a family of P450 monooxygenases, each member of which regioselectively oxidizes avermectin to 4″-keto-avermectin. The P450 monooxgenases find use in methods and formulations for making emamectin from avermectin. Also disclosed are methods for purifying the P450 monooxygenases of the invention, binding agents that specifically bind to the P450 monooxygenases of the invention, and genetically engineered cells that express the P450 monooxygenases of the invention. Also disclosed are ferredoxins and ferredoxin reductases that are active with the P450 monooxygenases of the invention.

Abstract: 1H- and 2H- indazole derivatives and pharmaceuticals containing these blood-pressure lowering 1H- and 2H- indazole derivatives of the formula ##STR1## and their acid addition salts, wherein R1 may be in position 1 or position 2 on the nitrogen atoms in formula I. The groups R1, R2 and R3 represent hydrogen or the usual lower molecular groups. The R group is a 2-imidazolinylamino group or a 3,4,5,6-tetryhydropyrimidinylamino group, wherein these groups may also be present in their tautomeric forms. These groups may also be in an aryl group in the R1 group, in which case the R group may also be a halogen atom. R may only represent one of the heterocyclic secondary or tertiary amino groups in the 4 or 7 position for the 1H- indazole derivatives when the R1 group is simultaneously an aryl or an aralkyl group.
