Title: Injection port valve
Inventor: PEPPEL PETER W
IPC: A61M39/00
Filed: 2004-04-02
Abstract: Injection port valves are generally discussed herein and more particularly to port valves that have a valve housing with a nozzle having an inlet opening, a body section, a skirt section, an interior cavity, and a valve seat at an intersection of the first nozzle and the body section in the interior cavity.  A piston may be positioned within the interior cavity of the valve housing having a body section having an exterior surface, an upper piston section, a seal surface, and a piston cavity, and wherein the body section includes a wall layer that emits lubricant from within the wall layer to the exterior surface. A nut, which may be a Luer nut, having a flow passage in communication with a discharge nozzle having a discharge lumen may be attached to an end of the skirt section of the valve housing to thereafter connect to an infusion line. A spring can be positioned within the piston cavity and abutting against the nut, wherein when used, the spring being in a first position when the seal surface of the piston is abutted against the valve seat of the valve housing, and the spring being in a second position when the seal surface of the piston is separated from the valve seat.

Title: Adenovirus serotype 24 vectors, nucleic acids and virus produced thereby
Inventor: SHIVER JOHN W
IPC: A61K39/00
Filed: 2003-08-21
Abstract: Adenoviral serotypes differ in their natural tropism. The various serotypes of adenovirus have been found to differ in at least their capsid proteins (e.g., penton-base and hexon proteins), proteins responsible for cell binding (e.g., fiber proteins), and proteins involved in adenovirus replication. This difference in tropism and capsid proteins among serotypes has led to the many research efforts aimed at redirecting the adenovirus tropism by modification of the capsid proteins. The present invention bypasses such requirement for capsid protein modification as it presents a recombinant, replication-defective adenovirus of serotype 24, a rare adenoviral serotype, and methods for generating the alternative, recombinant adenovirus. Additionally, means of employing the recombinant adenovirus for the delivery and expression of exogenous genes are provided.
Patent CA-2518970-A1 (CA)
Title: Lifting body for an airship
Inventor: LUCHSINGER ROLF
IPC: B64B1/08
Filed: 2004-03-02
Abstract: The inventive lifting body for an airship is constructed of a skin (2) that forms an ellipsoid-like hollow body. A node element (3) is placed in the vicinity of the nose (11) and rear (12) respectively, and compression members (4) extend along surface lines (16) and are anchored on both sides inside one of the node elements (3). The compression members (4) are flexible and thus adapt to the skin (2) along the surface line (16). Two tensile bands (5) per compression member (4) extend in opposite spiraling directions around the skin (2). The skin (2) takes on its provided taut shape while being subjected to an overpressure of several mBars. The compression members (4), together with the node elements (3) and with the tensile bands (5), form an extremely light exoskeleton by means of which the lifting body becomes dimensionally stable.  Increasing overpressure renders the lifting body increasingly rigid and continues to increase the load bearing capacity thereof while the lifting body retains its shape and dimensions. The dimensional stability of the lifting body facilitates and assists in imparting to it an aerodynamic shape, optionally with a dynamic lift. In addition, the compression members (4) are suited for attaching power units, gondolas and tail units.

Title: Fluorine nmr spectroscopy for biochemical screening
Inventor: VERONESI MARINA
IPC: C12Q1/48
Filed: 2004-07-12
Abstract: High-Throughput Screening (HTS) of large compound libraries is the method of drug-lead discovery. It is now well accepted that for a functional assay, quality is more important than quantity. A biochemical NMR method originally proposed by Percival and Withers (Biochemistry, 1992, 31, 498-505) is extended to the screening of Ser/Thr kinases. The method requires the presence of a CF3 (or CF) moiety on the substrate and utilizes 19F NMR spectroscopy for the detection of the starting and enzymatically modified substrates. Experiments can be performed in real time or in an endpoint assay format using protein and substrate concentrations comparable to the ones used by other HTS techniques.  Application of this technique to the phosphorylation of a substrate by the protein Ser/Thr kinase AKT1 is presented.
