  • Non-hydraulic, integrated damping mechanism in an electronic controller assembly
    Patent number: 10678290
    Abstract: A dampened electronic control for manual operation to control a machine includes a housing, a movable element pivotally supported in the housing upon a shaft with a rotation axis, and an electronic sensor configured to detect rotational movement of the shaft. A non-hydraulic damping mechanism is coupled to the moveable element, wherein the damping mechanism includes a piston disposed in a cylinder of the housing and configured to operate with air inside the cylinder as the working fluid and a spring to resiliently bias the piston towards the moveable element. Movement of the moveable element towards the piston causes the piston to compress the air inside the cylinder to thereby provide a resistance force against the moveable element to thereby dampen the movement of the moveable element.

  • Nucleic acid constructs useful for glucose regulated production of human insulin in somatic cell lines
    Publication number: 20070009498
    Abstract: Unique multifunctional nucleotide expression cassettes comprising a nucleotide sequence encoding a human protease driven by a glucose-regulatable promoter, a nucleotide sequence encoding human proinsulin having sites at its B-C and C-A junctions altered to permit cleavage by the human protease, and a CMV promoter driving the transcription of the nucleotide sequence encoding the human proinsulin, such cassettes optionally having polyadenylation sequences after each structural gene and the nucleotide sequence encoding human proinsulin optionally carrying an H10D variant, and cells transformed thereby.
