Abstract: A new, reliable, easily scalable and reproducible method for the production of recombinant butyrylcholinesterase (rBuChE) is provided. Through the utilization of a plant transfection procedure, various plant strains have been shown to generate effective and scalable amounts of rBuChE under acceptable manufacturing processes to permit reliable levels of such enzymes for desired nerve agent protection requirements (including tetrameric products). As well, such methods in engineered plant lines have shown suitable production of these enzymes in tetramer form with glycan formation and sialyalation (for terminal groups) to allow for optimal potency against organophosphorus agent exposure as well as proper immunogenic response within the plant sources. The overall production method, including the transfection and production within mammalian cells, as well as the process steps involved for such a reliable sourcing platform from plants is thus encompassed within the invention.

Abstract: An operational control device is disclosed for a positive-displacement pump having a motor, means for actuating the motor, state sensor means for detecting an actual operating parameter (e.g., pressure) of the pump, and operating mode means for controlling an operating mode of the pump. A first actuating mode of the operating mode means is set by the actuating means below a first operating-parameter threshold value (P1). This mode brings about a constantly rising pump pressure in the direction of an operating-parameter setpoint value (Pset) in a variable manner, which is dependent on a detected change in the operating parameter over a predefined time interval. A second actuating mode is set as normal operation to the operating-parameter setpoint value by the actuating means above the first operating-parameter threshold value. P1 is fixed or is calculated as a fraction of the operating-parameter setpoint value and/or a pump parameter correlated therewith.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for embedding database procedures in data-driven software applications written in a language different from the database-procedure language. For example, in some embodiments, the hosting application may be written in ABAP whereas the database procedure may be written in SQLScript. In various embodiments, the database procedures are encapsulated in specially marked methods of the host application, which, when called at runtime, cause the database procedures to be created in a database catalog and executed on a database server.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for the hot deployment of database procedures embedded in a host software application. In various example embodiments, the database procedures are encapsulated in specially marked methods of the host application, which, when called at runtime, cause the database procedures, and associated procedure stubs through which the database procedures are called, to be created in a database catalog and executed on the database server. When an embedded database procedure is modified in an application by one user during execution of that application by a second user, compilation of the modified database procedure may result in deletion of the original database procedure and/or associated procedure stub from the database, avoiding inconsistencies between database procedure versions during application execution by the second user.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods facilitating extensions to software applications that access a database, and in particular to applications with embedded database procedures. In various embodiments, an extension anchor embedded in the application as well as one or more extensions implemented as database procedures are encapsulated in specially marked database-procedure methods.
