Abstract: In various aspects and embodiments, the present disclosure provides methods for making glycosylated products, as well as bacterial cells and uridine diphosphate (UDP)-dependent glycosyltransferase (UGT) enzymes useful for the same. In other aspects and embodiments, the disclosure provides methods for high yield and/or high purity recovery of such glycoside products from microbial cultures or cell free reactions. In various aspects and embodiments, the disclosure provides for whole cell bioconversion processes involving the glycosylation of a desired substrate, and/or the recovery of the glycosylated product at high yield and/or high purity.

Abstract: An ultrasonic inspection system utilizes a tunable digital filter with 4× interpolation. The system is used for scanning objects to be tested and includes a transmit/receive device to generate a test signal and receive an echo signal. A signal processing circuit processes the echo signal with one or more digital to analog converters for converting an analog version of the echo signal to a digital echo signal in the form of streaming digital data which is stored in a memory. The data is stored at a first data rate and read out at the second, slower data rate. An averaging decimator receives and processes the data from the memory and supplies it to an IIR filter and subsequently to an FIR filter and ultimately to a box car filter to effect processing thereon which increases the perceived resolution of the data by a given factor, preferably by a factor of 4.

Abstract: A solderless, direct cable interconnect for an array transducer and method for the fabrication thereof. An ultrasonic array transducer includes an acoustic backing layer, a piezoelectric layer containing an array of piezoelectric elements (typically created from a solid layer of piezoelectric material disposed over a matching layer cut with a dicing saw and fixed on a solid ground plane), and plurality of control wires, disposed between the backing layer and the piezoelectric layer. A solid backing material which will displace slightly at temperature and pressure is formed into the desired shape. Kerfs are precisely cut into the shaped backing material in a pattern such that they will line up with the center of each piezoelectric element in the piezoelectric layer.

Abstract: A GPS enabled datalogging system for a non-destructive test/non-destructive inspection instrument. GPS obtained location data is used to geographically stamp inspection data entries, which provides for more efficient and accurate data collection, organization, and analysis. The GPS enabled datalogging system also provides a method for detecting when the instrument has entered a specific inspection zone and performing location specific tasks to aid the operator in that inspection.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for monitoring at least one battery condition. An ac signal is applied to a battery. A difference between a signal output from the battery and a threshold determines a battery condition. The determined battery condition is transmitted remotely from the battery location either wirelessly or through a network to controller and/or is visibly displayed at the battery location.
