Ling Li - Ames IA, US
Eve Syrkin Wurtele - Ames IA, US

Assignee:

IOWA STATE UNIVERSITY RESEARCH FOUNDATION, INC. - Ames IA

International Classification:

A01H 5/00
C12N 5/10
A23L 1/212
C12N 15/82

US Classification:

800281, 800284, 800298, 800312, 435419, 4353201, 426634

Abstract:

A method of modifying the amount of at least one biochemical component in a plant comprising expressing Qua-Quine Starch (QQS) in the plant, the wild-type of which does not express QQS; a transgenic plant, or part thereof, which comprises and expresses QQS as a transgene and in which the amount of at least one biochemical component is modified; a tissue culture of regenerable cells of the transgenic plant; a vector comprising a nucleotide sequence, which encodes the coding sequence of QQS, operably linked to a non-native promoter, which promotes expression of the nucleotide sequence in a plant, which is other than ; and a method of producing a food or industrial product from a plant.

Assignee:

Iowa State University Research Foundation, Inc. - Ames IA

International Classification:

C12N 112

US Classification:

4352521

Abstract:

A method of decreasing plasma cholesterol is disclosed. The method includes oral administration of coprostanol-producing bacteria to humans. These organisms, once in the small intestine, will reduce free cholesterol to coprostanol, which is absorbed poorly. Pharmaceutical compositions for delivery are included as are different methods of delivery such as placing the microorganisms in food.

International Classification:

G06F 1107

US Classification:

714 4

Abstract:

Methods and apparatus for implementation of fault-tolerant networks provide a network fault-tolerance manager for detecting failures and manipulating a node to communicate with an active channel. Failure detection incorporates one or more methods, including message pair and link pulse detection. Failure recovery includes switching all node data communications to a stand-by channel or switching just those nodes detecting a failure. Communication between nodes provides the distributed detection, with detecting nodes reporting failures to their network fault-tolerance manager and the network fault-tolerance manager broadcasting the failure recovery to all nodes. The network fault-tolerance manager is middleware, residing with each node in a logical hierarchy above a physical layer of a network and below a transport layer of the network. The approach is particularly suited to Ethernet LANs and capable of using commercial off-the-shelf network components.
