Abstract:
A transceiver circuit having 10 mb and 100 mb transmit and receive circuitries using the power saving methods allows for power consumption of the transceiver circuit to be significantly reduced. This is accomplished by providing each defined subcircuit with its own power supply and means of activation and deactivation. However, the method for activating and deactivating digital subcircuits and analog subcircuits are different and therefore different types of control signals and methods are provided. Furthermore, there are two general types of power-saving situations. The first type is near total circuit power-down and the second type is partial circuit power-down. In yet another embodiment, a method for minimizing energy usage during the idle period is utilized.
Abstract:
Applicants have devised a highly effective, convenient, and expeditious genetic transformation system for filamentous fungi, such as Agaricus bisporus. The preferred method uses an Agrobacterium-mediated transformation protocol. The critical features of this protocol include co-cultivation of the bacterium with fruit body tissue instead of spores. In a preferred embodiment, even higher transformation efficiencies were observed with the use of a homologous promoter in the polynucleotide expression construct in order to drive gene expression.
Abstract:
The invention includes methods and compositions for remodeling a peptide molecule, including the addition or deletion of one or more glycosyl groups to a peptide, and/or the addition of a modifying group to a peptide.
