  • Publication number: 20170081996
    Abstract: A valve train assembly has at least a camshaft with at least a first cam body and a second cam body, each axially movable over the camshaft between a first axial position and a second axial position and each earn body being provided with a first cam for controlling a valve in the first axial position and a second cam for controlling the valve in the second axial position; and one or more couplers for coupling the movement of the cam bodies. A first groove extends along a part of the circumference of the first cam body. A second groove extends along a part of the circumference of the second cam body, An engager for engaging alternately the first. and second groove is included, such that either the first cam body is moved to the first axial position or the second cam body is moved to the second axial position.

  • Patent number: 7991563
    Abstract: The relationship between an amino acid sequence of a protein and its three-dimensional structure is at the very core of structural biology and bioinformatics. The occurrence and conservation of non-canonical conformations is a “local” phenomenon, i.e., non-canonical conformations are encoded intra-helically by short peptide sequences (heptapeptides at most). Effective descriptors can be formed for these short sequences employing training sets. Multiple, distinct patterns are created representing these sequences. A composite descriptor is formed by selecting from among the patterns discovered. The composite descriptor has a high level of sensitivity and specificity while, at the same time, a boosted signal-to-noise ratio.

  • Patent number: 6403356
    Abstract: New mutant penicillin G acylases preferably from E. coli are provided, exhibiting altered enzymatic activity. These penicillin G acylases are obtained by expression of a gene encoding said penicillin G acylase having an amino acid sequence which differs at least in one amino acid from the wild-type penicillin G acylase.
