	Mice Provide Unique Challenge for Yaskawa Drive Application Report (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Jackson Laboratory’s savings result from the ability to program the drive to operate fan motors at optimum, reduced speeds instead of a constant 100 percent of capacity.
		Jackson and AC Electric are presently evaluating operation of the Metasys installation, with an eye toward converting the remainder of the campus to a communications-controlled drive architecture.
		Jackson Laboratory's success with Yaskawa's AC adjustable speed drives, their dependability and flexibility to meet varying demands in challenging applications, coupled with AC Electric’s responsiveness to service and design requirements, continues to strengthen the relationship between customer and service provider.

		The magnitude of this demand is demonstrated by the fact that Jackson Laboratory — a single institution — maintains 2,500 distinct mouse strains (some inbred since the Lab was established in 1929), and last year sold nearly 2 million mice to other research facilities.
		Jackson Laboratory employs 1,200 of the state's 4,400 member scientific community, accounts for 50 percent of the federal R&D dollars spend in Maine and, according to a White House report on federal research spending, returns 66 cents to Maine's economy for every government dollar.
		History aside, Jackson Lab's track record is enviable by any measure: it wins more than 50 percent of the federal money for which it applies, compared to 32 percent for the average research institution.

	Jackson Laboratory Researchers Identify Neuromuscular Degeneration Gene
		BAR HARBOR -- Scientists at The Jackson Laboratory have cloned the gene for the mouse mutation known as neuromuscular degeneration, or nmd, an advance that could boost research into such devastating neurological diseases in humans as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and spinal muscular atrophy.
		The nmd mouse was originally discovered at The Jackson Laboratory and reported in Mammalian Genome (March 1995) by researchers Susan A. Cook and Drs.
		The research at The Jackson Laboratory was supported in part by grants to Dr. Cox from the National Institutes of Health and the Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Association, and to Dr. Frankel from the National Institutes of Health and the Klingenstein Fellowship in the Neurosciences.

		During the Second World War, the Laboratory provided thousands of mice for use in investigating the effects of poison gases and for the production of encephalitis-B serum, but the relative prosperity it brought was curtailed when the laboratory and nearly all of the mouse stocks were destroyed by fire in 1947.
		Because several of the first generation of scientists to work at Jackson were still alive in 1986, Mehrtens' interviews address nearly the entire history of the institution up to that time, although the emphasis inevitably falls upon the period under the directorships of Earl Green and Richmond Prehn.
