  • Publication number: 20050091988
    Abstract: The container has a specific construction for low weight with low thermal loss by combining the use of certain polymer insulation with the use of air space between internal structures. The container contains a single or multiple heaters or coolers that can be integrated as a single heating and cooling element, and either integrated into a single container, or in separate containers. The heating or cooling is accomplished by attaching to an internal thermal conducting, e.g. metal, structure either heating or cooling thermal conducting elements or internal thermal heat exchangers with a fan that circulates air over the thermal heat exchanger and heats or cools the air directly. An intelligent power management electronic controls management system is used to result in food delivery containers suitable for power, limited lower capacity vehicles such as motorcycles or scooters.

  • Patent number: 6881411
    Abstract: This invention satisfies needs in the art by providing intimin, the Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) adherence protein, alone or as a fusion protein with one or more other antigens, expressed by transgenic plants and the use of those plants as vehicles for stimulating a protective immune response against EHEC and the one or more other antigens. Various plant species are transformed to protect various animal species and also humans against EHEC, against pathogens expressing intimin-like proteins, and against pathogens expressing any of the one or more other antigens to which intimin may be fused. The eae gene encoding intimin, a functional portion thereof, or a recombination that encodes a fusion protein is put under the control of a constitutive plant promoter in a plasmid and the plasmid is introduced into plants by the type of transformation appropriate for the particular plant species.

  • Publication number: 20030018990
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a DNA construct containing a DNA for a serine proteinase inhibitor isolated from Brassica oleracea, which has antibiosis activity. The present invention also relates to transgenic plants and transgenic plant seeds containing that nucleic acid molecule. Resistance to herbivorous insects can be conferred to a plant by either transformation of the plant with the nucleic acid molecule which encodes a serine proteinase inhibitor isolated from Brassica oleracea or by application of that inhibitor to plants or plant seeds.
