  • Patent number: 8178329
    Abstract: At least one isolated microorganism and a fermentation method to convert hydrogen gas, carbon dioxide gas, and/or carbon monoxide gas to a lower alkyl alcohol and/or carboxylic acid and to produce at least 2% by volume of the lower alkyl alcohol or carboxylic acid in an aqueous-based medium.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 1, 2010
    Date of Patent: May 15, 2012
    Inventors: Richard Allen Kohn, Seon-Woo Kim

  • Publication number: 20120028256
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for providing information on the therapeutic effect of an SSRI antidepressant by identifying TPH2 gene polymorphism rs4760815, SLC6A4 gene polymorphism 5-HTTLPR, SLC6A4 gene polymorphism rs2066713, GAD1 gene polymorphism rs3828275, and GRIK2 gene polymorphism rs543196. Through the disclosed method, it is possible to select an antidepressant based on genetic information, to prevent the worsening or relapse of depression, and to establish customized depression treatment models which are effective in the development of customized new drugs, and appropriate for Korean people. Therefore, the base of domestic clinical trials can be expanded, which will enhance competitive power in the pharmaceutical market and preoccupy technology of drug prediction.

  • Patent number: 6881952
    Abstract: In semiconductor manufacturing equipment having a residual gas analyzing apparatus for analyzing the composition of residual gas in a process chamber of the equipment a heater of the residual gas analyzer is interlocked with a heater of the process chamber. The residual gas analyzer includes an ion detector, and the heater of the residual gas analyzer has a filament and a heating jacket surrounding a portion of the ion detector. A relay connects a power source of the heater for the process chamber to the heater of the residual gas analyzer. Power is supplied to and cut off from the heater of the residual gas analyzer in response to heater on/off signals used for controlling the operation for the heater for the process chamber.
