摘要:
A method and apparatus for automatically performing a measurement of a power plant's battery backup capacity. The process comprises reducing an output voltage of a rectifier and identifying a time when said output voltage has been so reduced, measuring the voltage (e.g., at the output of the battery) to determine when the battery has been discharged and identifying a time when the battery has been determined to be discharged, calculating the period of time for the battery to discharge based on the two identified times, restoring the output voltage of the rectifier, and comparing the calculated period of time for the battery to discharge to a predetermined minimum acceptable period of time for the battery to discharge. Advantageously, this process is performed automatically at predetermined intervals or in accordance with a predetermined scheduling algorithm, and is advantageously performed during known “off-peak” time periods (e.g., during the overnight hours).
摘要:
The invention provides a basic genetic operating system for an autonomous prototrophic nanomachine having a nanomachine genome encoding a minimal gene set sufficient for viability. Also provided is a basic genetic operating system for an autonomous auxotrophic nanomachine having a nanomachine genome encoding a minimal gene set sufficient for viability in the presence of an auxotrophic biomolecule. The minimal gene set encoded by the basic genetic operating system can contain the functional categories of transcription, translation, aerobic metabolism, glycolysis/pyruvate dehydrogenase/pentose phosphate pathways, carbohydrate metabolism, central intermediary metabolism, nucleotide metabolism, transport and binding proteins, and housekeeping functions. Functional categories can be arranged in a predetermined physical or temporal order. A prototrophic basic genetic operating system sufficient for autonomous viability can contain a minimal gene set of about 152 or less fundamental genes, orthologs or nonothorologous displacements thereof. An auxotrophic basic genetic operating system sufficient for autonomous viability in the presence of an auxotrophic biomolecule can contain about 151 or less fundamental genes, orthologs or nonothorologous displacements thereof. Also provided is a basic genetic operating system sufficient for autonomous prototrophic or auxotrophic viability which can have an expression control region for the production of a biomolecule. Viable autonomous prototrophic and auxotrophic nanomachines are also provided.
摘要:
A diamond-reinforced SiC ceramic composite material and shaped article. The addition of diamond to the microstructure greatly enhances properties such as hardness and Young's modulus. Such a composite material has considerable promise as an armor material. In particular, significant increases in ballistic performance can be achieved versus a non-diamond-containing composite, particularly versus the M993 threat. Reaction bonded silicon carbide (RBSC) ceramics with 7% diamond were shown to offer ballistic performance levels that matched the best commercial ceramics tested on the program.
摘要:
The present invention outlines a novel approach to utilizing the results of genomic sequence information by computer-directed polynucleotide assembly based upon information available in databases such as the human genome database. Specifically, the present invention may be used to select, synthesize and assemble a novel, synthetic target polynucleotide sequence encoding a target polypeptide. The target polynucleotide may encode a target polypeptide that exhibits enhanced or altered biological activity as compared to a model polypeptide encoded by a natural (wild-type) or model polynucleotide sequence.
