  • Publication number: 20080178307
    Abstract: This invention provides compositions, organisms and methodologies employing a novel human gene encoding a protein that has sequence homology to a consensus sequence of calcineurin-like phosphoesterase family are disclosed. The novel protein is encoded by a human gene comprising 4 exons. The human gene is localized in the 10p15 locus of human chromosome 10. The sequence similarities between the novel human protein and the consensus sequence of calcineurin-like phosphoesterases indicate that the novel human protein may function as a calcineurin-like protein phosphatase.

  • Patent number: 6027786
    Abstract: New fiber-reinforced composite materials of improved moldability and methods for making them, in which an initial material comprising long length ("continuous filament") reinforcement set in a matrix material is treated to enable these filaments to be severed in situ into fibers of smaller length while maintaining a control over the length and location of these resulting shortened fibers while preserving the orientation desired to give strength to the materials. The severance is preferably achieved using radiant energy from a laser or the like, and most conveniently by using a laser to make a series or pattern of perforations (usually 0.5 mm or less in diameter) so that the reinforcing filaments are attacked but the surrounding matrix material is not appreciably affected or weakened. The treated materials can be used to fabricate larger products or articles of wide variety, by further processing, especially molding or thermo-forming.
