  • Patent number: 6017870
    Abstract: A purified novel cellulase composition is provided which may be isolated from a fermentation culture of Trichoderma longibrachiatum and has a molecular weight of about 95-105 kD as approximated on SDS-PAGE (see FIG. 1), a pl of about 5.6-6.8 as estimated on an IEF gel and a pH optimum of about 5.0 on RBB-CMC when measured at 65.degree. C. and pH 4 or lower at temperatures of 40.degree. C. and 50.degree. C.

  • Patent number: 4237405
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for regulating the luminous flux generated by a lamp with the degeneration of the voltage from a power source such as a battery. The regulating circuit maintains a constant luminous flux output from a lamp over a substantial range of voltages by switching the voltage to the lamp on and off at a preselected and controlled duty cycle. The principal advantage of this regulation is that only the minimum energy necessary to produce a required minimum luminous flux is used from the power sources irrespective of its voltage value within the operative range. The power pulses applied to the lamp are of a voltage that varies directly as the voltage variations of the power source and widths that vary as the inverse square of the voltage from the power source for maintaining a constant RMS voltage on the lamp and thereby constant light output flux.
