Publication number: 20220220161Abstract: The present invention belongs to the field of biotechnology, recombinant protein production, molecular biology, microbiology and microbial genetics. It provides a modified eukaryotic cell that is modified to the effect that the modified eukaryotic cell is not able to provide an SSN6-like related protein or an SSN6-like protein that exerts its wildtype function and/or wildtype activity, the amount of SSN6-like related protein or of SSN6-like protein being present in the modified eukaryotic cell differs from the amount of SSN6-like related protein or of SSN6-like protein being present in its wildtype form, and/or essentially no SSN6-like related protein or SSN6-like protein is present in the modified cell. Additionally, the present invention provides a polynucleotide sequence comprising a modified ssn6-like related gene or modified ssn6-like gene, and a vector comprising said polynucleoptide.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 25, 2021Publication date: July 14, 2022Applicant: Novartis AGInventors: Clemens Achmüller, Ferdinand Zepeck, Franz Hartner, Thomas Specht

Patent number: 11203620Abstract: The present invention provides a modified eukaryotic cell wherein the modified eukaryotic cell is not able to provide an SSN6-like protein that exerts its wildtype function and/or wildtype activity, the amount of SSN6-like protein being present in the modified eukaryotic cell differs from the amount of SSN6-like protein being present in its wildtype form, and/or essentially no SSN6-like protein is present in the modified cell. Additionally, the present invention provides a polynucleotide sequence comprising a modified ssn6-like gene, and a vector comprising said polynucleoptide. Additionally provided is an expression vector comprising a promoter that is repressed in the presence of SSN6-like protein, and a host cell comprising said vectors. The present invention further refers to a method for determining the purity of a composition by using the modified eukaryotic cell, to a method of expressing gene(s) of interest, and eukaryotic cells comprising modified ssn6-like gene.Type: GrantFiled: March 2, 2016Date of Patent: December 21, 2021Assignee: Novartis AGInventors: Clemens Achmüller, Ferdinand Zepeck, Franz Hartner, Thomas Specht

Patent number: 9968967Abstract: A vibration exciter, particularly for a vibration pile driver, includes at least four shafts disposed parallel to one another, on which two outer imbalance masses are disposed, in each instance, between which a central imbalance mass is positioned. The central imbalance mass is mounted on the shaft so as to rotate relative to the outer imbalance masses, in each instance. The imbalance masses of the at least four shafts are combined into two imbalance groups, the imbalance masses of which are all synchronized with one another in torsionally rigid manner, in each instance, wherein not only outer imbalance masses but also inner imbalance masses are provided in each of the two imbalance groups, and wherein a phase shifter is provided, by way of which the phasing of the two imbalance groups relative to one another can be adjusted.Type: GrantFiled: November 26, 2014Date of Patent: May 15, 2018Assignee: ABI Anlagentechnik-Baumaschinen-Industriebedarf Maschinenfabrik und Vertriebsgesellschaft mbHInventors: Christian Heichel, Thomas Specht, Manuel Meinel, Albrecht Kleibl
