Granted: 1988-07-14
Abstract: An improved process for selective metallization of insulating substrates, as for example in the manufacture of wire scribed interconnection boards, is claimed. The substrates optionally include one or more metallized holes or cavities for electrical connections. The process comprises applying an insulating, hydrophobic mask onto the surface of a suitable insulating substrate so as to leave exposed selected areas to be metallized, contacting the substrate with an activator solution for a time period sufficient to deposit a catalytic species onto the exposed areas of the substrate and the mask and on the walls of the holes or cavities, thereby rendering them catalytic to the reception of metal, preferentially removing essentially all of the catalytic species from the hydrophobic mask by contacting the substrate with a chelating agent in an alkaline solution having a pH between 10 and 14 for a time period sufficient to remove essentially all of said catalytic species from the mask, and then contacting the substrate with an electroless metal plating solution to metallize only the exposed catalytic areas of the substrate not protected by the hydrophobic mask.

Title: Recovery of organic acid salts from impure process streams by addition of bases
Inventor: FELMAN STEVEN W
IPC: A23L27/00
Filed: 1994-07-04
Granted: 1995-04-27
Abstract: This invention provides an improved method for recovering an organic acid as a salt from various process streams by addition of a crystallizing base to a concentrated solution of neutralized organic acid. The addition of such a base causes crystallization of the salt. This process provides more efficient recovery of organic acid salt from a fermentation process stream than traditional crystallization and it may be used essentially as a one step purification process. The improved method is particularly applicable to the recovery of trisodium or tripotassium citrate from process streams produced in the fermentation and recovery of citric acid, with the addition of a crystallizing base such as sodium hydroxide, sodium carbonate, potassium hydroxide, or ammonia. The resulting product may be combined with an anticaking agent and/or dried to provide a particularly free flowing product.

Title: Chromatographic method for high yield purification and viral inactivation of antibodies
Inventor: LEBING WYTOLD R
IPC: C07K16/06
Filed: 1998-06-10
Granted: 2002-06-27
Abstract: An improved process for the purification of antibodies from human plasma or other sources is disclosed. The process involves suspension of the antibodies at pH 3.8 to 4.5 followed by addition of caprylic acid and a pH shift to pH 5.0 to 5.2. A precipitate of contaminating proteins, lipids and caprylate forms and is removed, while the majority of the antibodies remain in solution. Sodium caprylate is again added to a final concentration of not less than about 15 mM. This solution is incubated for 1 hour at 25 DEG C to effect viral inactivation. A precipitate (mainly caprylate) is removed and the clear solution is diluted with purified water to reduce ionic strength. Anion exchange chromatography using two different resins is utilized to obtain an exceptionally pure IgG with subclass distribution similar to the starting distribution. The method maximizes yield and produces a gamma globulin with greater than 99% purity.

Title: Pump control system
Inventor: MADSEN KAY
IPC: A61M5/00
Filed: 1991-02-05
Granted: 1994-01-20
Abstract: A pump control system is described in which the pumping mechanism causes corresponding movement of a pair of capacitor plates (64,66). The plates are energized by an a.c. signal, and the signal produced by the plates is amplitude detected, with the amplitude modulation representing pumping force. The pumping force is converted to pumping pressure. The pumping pressure peak during pumping and the pressure minimum during filling are detected to determine the portion of a pumping cycle required to make the transition between these two pressure levels. The difference between the two pressure levels divided by the transition portion of the pumping cycle gives a measure of the compliance of the pump chamber. The ratio of the compliance measure to the total cycle, when multiplied by the nominal chamber volume, gives a measure of unpumped volume, which is subtracted from the nominal volume to give the volume actually pumped during a pump cycle. The volume pumped is compared with a desired flow rate to determine a speed control value for the motor of the pumping mechanism. A motor control signal is developed by subtracting from a constant number a value which is a factor of the speed control value and the position of the motor.
