  • 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.

  • Patent number: 11414023
    Abstract: A device for mounting an object on an interior trim of a vehicle. The interior trim forms a depression for receiving the object and has a holder to fix the object in the depression. Advantageously, at least two oppositely arranged protrusions, which function as a first holder and which narrow a loading opening of the depression, are provided and arranged such that during the loading of the depression with the object to be mounted, the object can be inserted into the depression between the protrusions solely with its narrow side in front and is held or can be held in the depression, in particular on all sides, via a subsequent rotational movement about a longitudinal axis of the object.

  • Patent number: 11292859
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a polymer by means of nitroxyl-controlled polymerisation. According to the invention, a mixture is initiated which contains at least one radically polymerisable monomer and additionally contains at least one initiator, at least one reactive agent that converts at least one portion of the alkoxyamine end groups produced during the radical polymerisation into a non-polymerisable group, and at least one additive that accelerates the hydroxyl-controlled polymerisation and/or the conversion of the alkoxyamine end groups into a non-polymerisable group.

  • Patent number: 10896860
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for casting electronic components. The invention also relates to a curable compound that can be used as casting compound in the method. The casting compound contains at least one cross-linking component which is homogeneously distributed in the casting compound and can cross-link to at least two different cross-linked systems. A first of these networks has a higher cross-link density than a second cross-linked system, wherein the cross-linking to the first cross-linked system is triggered via an event other than the cross-linking to the second cross-linked system. During casting, the at least one cross-linking component of the casting compound is cured at least in part to the first cross-linked system in at least one first region spaced from the components and at least to the second cross-linked system in a second region enclosing and immediately surrounding the components.

  • Patent number: 10473252
    Abstract: A line connector with two mutually separate flow paths for the connection of a pipe-in-pipe line. The line connector has an inner connecting element for connecting to an inner pipe of the pipe-in-pipe line, an outer connecting element for connecting to an outer pipe of the pipe-in-pipe line, a first attachment element for attachment of the first line to the inner pipe, and a second attachment element for attachment of the second line to the outer pipe. The inner connecting element and the first attachment element are integrally formed on a separate attachment part. The outer connecting element is integrally formed on a separate pipe adapter part. And, the second attachment element is integrally formed on a separate connecting sleeve. The connecting sleeve permits at both sides, in the unassembled state, being pushed over the outer pipe. The invention also relates to a line set including the line connector.
