Title: Simplified method for removing free protein during preparation of protein-polysaccharide conjugates and vaccines using restricted-access media
Inventor: SHAFER DOUGLAS E
IPC: A61K47/48
Filed: 1999-02-04
Abstract: Removing free protein from a liquid mixture containing the protein and a protein-polysaccharide conjugate can be a technologically difficult, expensive, and time consuming process. The procedure described herein for removing the protein from such a mixture simplifies this removal. The procedure includes contacting the liquid mixture, including the protein and the protein-polysaccharide conjugate, with a solid phase, restricted-access media material. This material at least partially binds with the protein and separates it from the liquid mixture, thereby providing a purified liqid containing at least a portion of the protein-polysaccharide conjugate and a reduced amount of the protein. The purified liquid can be collected for further processing or use. As one example, the restricted-access media material can include porous silica particles that generally allow the protein to enter, but restrict or limit access to the protein-polysaccharide conjugate. In this manner, at least some of the free protein adheres, attaches, or otherwise binds to the restricted-access media material and separates from the conjugate. The process of the invention can be used for preparing protein-polysaccharide conjugates that can be used in vaccines or other pharmaceutical compositions.

IPC: C12N7/04
Filed: 1999-05-28
Abstract: The nonstructural protein 4 (NSP4) in the SA11 ATCC rotavirus strain has a histidine at amino acid position 47. This substituted form is more cytotoxic than the NSP4 of the Australia rotavirus strain, which has an asparagine at amino acid position 47. The histidine at amino acid position 47 is mutagenized to another amino acid to produce an alternative form of NSP4 which has reduced toxicity, while retaining its antigenicity and immunogenicity. NSP4 having a glutamic acid at amino acid position 48 is more cytotoxic than NSP4 having a lysine at amino acid position 48. The lysine at amino acid position 48 is mutagenized to another amino acid other than glutamic acid to produce an alternative form of NSP4 which has reduced toxicity, while retaining its antigenicity and immunogenicity.

Title: An intaglio printing process for all-over printing of large areas
Inventor: FRANZ PETER
IPC: B42D25/29
Filed: 1999-09-29
Abstract: Printing plates for all-over printing of large areas by the intaglio printing proc-ess, a method for producing the printing plates and data carriers, in particular bank notes, with large-area printed images produced by the intaglio printing process are proposed. Flawless inking is ensured by providing partitions in the engraving of the printing plate which rise up vertically from the base of the engraved area and have at least a height of 50% of the engraving depth. The partitions largely prevent ink from being wiped out of the engraved areas when ink is wiped off the printing plate sur-face. This permits a large printed area to be covered all over with ink layers on a data carrier. By special arrangement and design of the partitions one can also pro-duce fine structures in the printing area which are recognizable only with magnifying aids depending on the selected distances between the partitions.

Title: A method of modeling the forming of anisotropic sheet
Inventor: MACEWEN STUART
IPC: G05B19/4097
Filed: 1999-11-16
Abstract: A method of fabricating an article from a blank (12) of material (e.g., aluminum alloy sheet) having anisotropic deformation properties, with tooling (14) which has been designed by predicting flow and deformation of the blank (12) using an analysis which decouples the anisotropic deformation properties of the blank (12). The method calculates the response of a small amount of the blank (12) using crystal plasticity theory. The blank (12) can be represented as a mesh having a plurality of elements. A strain path is predicted for each element using finite element analysis (FEA), and a stress-strain curve is defined for each element by performing a material point simulator (MPS) calculation for each element using its respective strain path. A second FEA is then carried out on the elements using the respective stress-strain curve for each element. The stress-strain curve for each element may be defined by assigning to each element a curve which lies between an upper bound curve and a lower bound curve, using various methods.      The computational model requires much less CPU time compared to prior art methods.

Title: Optical fiber cable with support member for indoor and outdoor use
Inventor: FITZ JON
IPC: G02B6/44
Filed: 2001-10-17
Abstract: An optical fiber cable has a jacket of flame retardant and ultraviolet stabilized plastic and meets the requirements for both outdoor and indoor use. The jacket has two longitudinal portions interconnected by an intermediate longitudinal portion of a thickness less than the thickness of the two portions. One of the two portions contains a longitudinally extending strength member of sufficient tensile strength to support the cable when the cable is suspended outdoors between relatively widely spaced supports. The other of the two portions has a longitudinally extending bore which contains at least one tightly buffered, longitudinally extending optical fiber and can also contain a flexible, longitudinally extending strength member. When the cable is suspended outdoors between support, the intermediate jacket portion has sufficient strength to prevent separation of the strength member portion from the optical fiber portion. The strength member portion, when desired, can be separated from the optical fiber portion to form an optical fiber subunit, which is flexible and meets indoor riser requirements, and a strength member subunit.
