  • Patent number: 11976284
    Abstract: A method of producing a protein of interest (POI) by culturing a recombinant eukaryotic cell line comprising an expression construct comprising a regulatable promoter and a nucleic acid molecule encoding a POI under the transcriptional control of said promoter, comprising the steps a) cultivating the cell line with a basal carbon source repressing the promoter, b) cultivating the cell line with a limited amount of a supplemental carbon source de-repressing the promoter to induce production of the POI at a transcription rate of at least 15% as compared to the native pGAP promoter, and c) producing and recovering the POI; and further an isolated regulatable promoter and a respective expression system.

  • Publication number: 20240077421
    Abstract: In general, technical aspects of the current disclosure include determining an age of a plastic material. In one example, a method may include controlling a light source to deliver first light to a plastic material stained with a stain; receiving, by a light detector, second light, the second light comprising at least some of the first light that has interacted with the plastic material stained with the stain; generating, by the light detector, light information representative of the second light; determining, by processing circuitry and based on the light information, an age of the plastic material; and outputting, by the processing circuitry and for display at a display of a computing device, the age of the plastic material.

  • Patent number: 11924244
    Abstract: In some embodiments, a method can include identifying detection coverage of a set of adversarial techniques based on telemetry data and a detection instance of an environment. The method can further include determining a subset of detection coverage that has a metric value below a metric value threshold and among the detection coverage for the set of adversarial techniques. The method may further include identifying at least one detection instance associated with the subset of detection coverage. The method can further include presenting, via a graphical user interface, a representation of at least one of the subset of detection coverage or the at least one detection instance associated with the subset of detection coverage. The method can further include updating the subset of detection coverage based on the telemetry data, the detection instance, or the at least one detection instance to improve the metric value.

  • Patent number: 11805145
    Abstract: Aspects of the subject technology relate to determining a defense surface change command to be applied to a defense surface. An organizational threat profile is stored and a baseline exposure score for threats is generated. The baseline exposure score is weighted based on at least the organizational threat profile to generate a prioritized exposure score. A defense surface change command is generated based on at least the prioritized exposure score, which is transmitted to hardware or software components, and an updated prioritized exposure score for the one or more hardware or software components is generated.

  • Patent number: 11533061
    Abstract: A circuitry for an incremental delta-sigma modulator includes at least an incremental delta-sigma modulator and a sample-and-hold element, the sample-and-hold element being arranged in front of the incremental delta-sigma modulator and providing an input voltage for the incremental delta-sigma modulator in the charged state, wherein the sample-and-hold element includes a capacitor for charging the input voltage for the incremental delta-sigma modulator, wherein a first switch is arranged in front of the capacitor, and a second switch is arranged behind the capacitor, wherein the first switch is open when the second switch is closed so as to provide, at the incremental delta-sigma modulator, an input voltage decreasing in amount, in particular a decaying input voltage, or wherein the second switch is open when the first switch is closed so as to charge the capacitor of the sample-and-hold element. In addition, a method of operating a circuitry for an incremental delta-sigma modulator is proposed.
