US Classification:

424/725000, 435/029000

Abstract:

The present invention relates to a method of modulating a selected biological activity of a naturally occurring material having one or more biological activities in an extract of the naturally occurring material, the method comprising incubating the extract in a medium in the presence of an aerobically metabolizing microorganism, under suitable aerobic conditions, for a period of time sufficient to modulate the selected activity with respect to baseline activity of the unincubated extract. The invention also relates to the bioconverted material so prepared, and the use of same in cosmetic or pharmaceutical compositions.

Assignee:

AT&T Global Information Solutions Company - Dayton OH

International Classification:

G01J 132

US Classification:

250205

Abstract:

An apparatus for sensing different attenuation windows within an optical scanner which adjusts the power level of a laser to a maximum safe power level. The apparatus includes an attenuation sensor which senses the amount of attenuation of the laser beam by a first attenuation window, and a laser power adjuster which changes the laser power level to an optimal but safe level based upon the sensed amount of attenuation of the laser beam. The apparatus may also include a detection circuit having a threshold detection level which is capable of being adjusted based upon the laser power level.

Inventors:

Duanfeng He - Ronkonkoma NY
Donald A. Collins - Duluth GA

Assignee:

NCR Corporation - Dayton OH

International Classification:

G06K 710

US Classification:

235467

Abstract:

An optical bar code scanner which produces substantially perpendicular scan lines having an optical power sufficient to read bar code labels substantially perpendicular to the scanner. The scanner includes first and second folding pattern mirrors which produce the substantially perpendicular scan lines. A laser beam strikes the first folding pattern mirror along a first line of reflection substantially parallel to the scanner as the mirrored spinner rotates. The laser beam from the first folding pattern mirror strikes the second folding pattern mirror along a second line of reflection substantially perpendicular to the scanner as the mirrored spinner rotates to produce the substantially perpendicular scan line.
