  • Publication number: 20150248955
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a process of and apparatus for forming a magnetic structure on a substrate (44) and also a magnetic structure formed by such a process and apparatus. The magnetic structure comprises a matrix in which magnetic particles are embedded. Apparatus (30) for forming the magnetic structure on the substrate (44) comprises a source of matrix material (32) which is operable to deposit the matrix material onto the substrate to thereby form the matrix. The apparatus (30) for forming the magnetic structure further comprises a source of magnetic particles (34) which is operable to deposit the magnetic particles onto the matrix as the matrix forms to thereby embed the magnetic particles in the matrix. Each magnetic particle comprises a core covered at least in part with a layer of metal, at least one of the matrix material and the core is of ferromagnetic material and the core and the layer of metal are of different materials.

  • Publication number: 20140359935
    Abstract: An electronic faucet assembly includes a mixing valve and a user interface in communication with a controller. Input to the user interface illustratively causes the controller to operate in a flow control mode or a temperature control mode. In the flow control mode the mixing valve provides flow control of water at a constant temperature, while in the temperature control mode the mixing valve provides temperature control of water at a constant flow. A memory device may be secured to a faucet component to store identification data related thereto.

  • Patent number: 8883483
    Abstract: The present invention relates to eukaryotic host cells having modified oligosaccharides which may be modified further by heterologous expression of a set of glycosyltransferases, sugar transporters and mannosidases to become host-strains for the production of mammalian, e.g., human therapeutic glycoproteins. The invention provides nucleic acid molecules and combinatorial libraries which can be used to successfully target and express mammalian enzymatic activities such as those involved in glycosylation to intracellular compartments in a eukaryotic host cell. The process provides an engineered host cell which can be used to express and target any desirable gene(s) involved in glycosylation. Host cells with modified oligosaccharides are created or selected. N-glycans made in the engineered host cells have a Man5GlcNAc2 core structure which may then be modified further by heterologous expression of one or more enzymes, e.g.
