Patent number: 11046979Abstract: The present invention provides a mutant algal microorganism that has a mutation that causes attenuated expression of TrifuncB and/or TrifuncA and as a result produces more lipids than a control algal microorganism. The mutant algal microorganism can further include a mutation in a gene encoding a peroxisomal beta-oxidation pathway protein, such as an ACO1 or PXA1 gene, or a glyoxylate pathway protein, such as an ICL1 gene, that results in attenuated expression and further increased lipid production. Furthermore, provided herein are methods of producing lipids using the mutant algal microorganisms and methods of making the mutant microorganisms.Type: GrantFiled: July 22, 2019Date of Patent: June 29, 2021Assignee: Synthetic Genomics, Inc.Inventors: Eric R. Moellering, Tom Carlson

Patent number: 7722400Abstract: A differential pair connector includes a housing having receptacles for receiving differential pair conductors and electrically conductive shielding tabs extending away from the housing between the receptacles for reducing crosstalk between the differential pairs. The tabs insert into a mated connector when an interconnect is formed. By inserting into the second connector, the shield tabs extend a larger ground plane around each differential pair, thus significantly reducing crosstalk within the connector. The connector can be a high density GbX® style daughter card connector mated to a GbX® style backplane connector.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2007Date of Patent: May 25, 2010Assignee: Molex IncorporatedInventors: Craig A.
