Abstract: A recombinant micro-organism producing resveratrol by a pathway in which phenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL) produces trans-cinnamic acid from phenylalanine, cinnamate 4-hydroxylase (C4H) produces 4-coumaric acid from said trans-cinnamic acid, 4-coumarate-CoA ligase (4CL) produces 4-coumaroyl CoA from said 4-coumaric acid, and resveratrol synthase (VST) produces said resveratrol from said 4-coumaroyl CoA, or in which L-phenylalanine- or tyrosine-ammonia lyase (PAL/TAL) produces 4-coumaric acid, 4-coumarate-CoA ligase (4CL) produces 4-coumaroyl CoA from said 4-coumaric acid, and resveratrol synthase (VST) produces said resveratrol from said 4-coumaroyl CoA. The micro-organism may be a yeast, fungus or bacterium including Saccharomyces cerevisiae, E. coli, Lactococcus lactis, Aspergillus niger, or Aspergillus oryzae.

Abstract: This application relates to vaprochromic coordination polymers useful for analyte detection. The vapochromism may be observed by visible color changes, changes in luminescence, and/or spectroscopic changes in the infrared (IR) signature. One or more of the above chromatic changes may be relied upon to identify a specific analyte, such as a volatile organic compound or a gas. The chromatic changes may be reversible to allow for successive analysis of different analytes using the same polymer. The polymer has the general formula MW[M?X(Z)Y]N wherein M and M? are the same or different metals capable of forming a coordinate complex with the Z moiety; Z is selected from the group consisting of halides, pseudohalides, thiolates, alkoxides and amides; W is between 1-6; X and Y are between 1-9; and N is between 1-5. Optionally, an organic ligand may be bound to M.

Abstract: Conventional video call attempts encountering a device inoperable according to a desired capability will fail if the receiving device is unable to complete the call at the desired service level (i.e. video). In addition to frustrating the communication attempts between users, another issue is that resources consumed in the attempted but failed exchange are not recoverable, since the call never completed. Accordingly, configurations herein substantially overcome such shortcomings by providing a fallback mechanism that identifies a service level operable by both the initiating device and the receiving devoice, and completes the call at a lower service level operable by both devices. The disclosed approach allows a call to complete at an alternate service level (i.e. voice instead of video) rather than failing the call completely, resulting in a source of lost revenue to the service provider (operator).

Abstract: Prior collapsible keyboards for personal digital assistants are overly complex and require different connecting hard-ware for different handheld devices. The present invention provides a folding keyboard for a hand-held computer or other information processing devices which folds up simply and in a small size and which is useful for touch typists. It communicates with the handheld device by a wireless connection which allows a single keyboard to be used with multiple types of handheld devices.

Abstract: Immunologically invisible carrier molecules connect a plurality of copies of an immunologically active molecule in an immunologic assay.

Abstract: The present invention provides a fully functional keyboard in a form factor no larger than that of a small cell phone. The keyboard achieves this small form factor by utilizing an entirely unique keyboard layout in which the keys in the top and bottom letter rows are reduced in the North-South axis, (the transverse axis i.e. the axis at right angles to the letter rows) whilst all the keys in the middle letter row, (the “Home” row) are maintained as full-size, (18 mm×18 mm with 1 mm spacing) in both the North-South and East-West axis. (the longitudinal axis i.e. the axis parallel to the letter rows) The size is further reduced by folding the keyboard. This is achieved by having the keyboard divided into four sections, hingedly connected along three fold lines, whereby the keys are cut at the fold lines to permit folding of the keyboard into a “W” shape. The size is further reduced by constructing each section of the keyboard in an extremely thin form-factor. (0.125? or 3.

Abstract: Substitution of specimens (such as urine specimens) may be detected and even prevented by adding randomization to the collection and routing of specimens. A test taker is required to ingest an ingestible entity the nature of which is concealed from the test taker and others participating in the collection of the sample. The test-taker and unauthorized personnel collecting and routing the specimen are uninformed about fluorescence behavior (or lack of fluorescence) expected for an unsubstituted specimen. The nature of the ingestible entity that a test-taker must take is randomized, and the nature of the ingestible entity is closely held, such as by using bar coding or by using a marker undetectable by the naked eye.

Abstract: A novel compound comprising an immunologically invisible polyethylene glycol copolymer is used to carry one or more immunologically reactive substances. The novel compounds may be used as part of kits for immunological assays.

Abstract: The present invention provides a wireless folding keyboard for a personal digital assistant which has a stand for supporting the personal digital assistant in the appropriate orientation to receive the wireless signals.

Abstract: Prior collapsible keyboards for personal digital assistants are overly complex and large. The present invention provides a folding keyboard for a personal digital assistant which folds up simply and in a small size and which is useful for standard typists. It is divided into two halves hingedly connected along a fold line. While the central or home row keys are standard size, the other two rows of keys are of reduced transverse dimension and are preferably so shaped as to allow a touch typist to use existing movements without missing the keys of reduced size, as are the keys at either end of all three rows.
