Patent EE-201100050-A (EE)
Inventor: PEACH ROBERT J
IPC: A61K38/00
Filed: 2001-05-23
Abstract: The present invention provides soluble CTLA4 mutant molecules which bind with greater avidity to the CD80 and/or CD86 antigen than wild type CTLA4 or non-mutated CTLA4Ig. The soluble CTLA4 molecules have a first amino acid sequence comprising the extracellular domain of CTLA4, where certain amino acid residues within the S25-R33 region and M97-G107 region are mutated. The mutant molecules of the invention may also include a second amino acid sequence which increases the solubility of the mutant molecule.

Abstract: 9704. Thompson, C. H. April 15. Manures and fertilizers.-A spongy or fibrous material, of the kind described in Specification No. 20,971, A.D. 1894, to serve as a substitute for earth, is made by boiling a suitable fibrous or spongy substance in water containing phosphoric acid, pearlash, nitrate of soda, gypsum, bone-meal, and soot, and then allowing the boiled mass to ferment. The fibrous or spongy substance maybe peat moss, ordinary moss, sponge clippings, coconut fibre, sugar-cane refuse, or sawdust. The boiling may be effected in a boiler provided with a false bottom upon which the soot, gypsum, bone-meal, and fibrous or spongy substance are placed. A liquid fertilizer of the kind described in Specification No. 20,971, A.D. 1894, is made by boiling in water a mixture of soot, gypsum, bonemeal, pearlash, phosphoric acid, and nitrate of soda, adding pearlash, yeast, and sugar or saccharine matter to the boiled product, and allowing the whole to be fermented. In place of the soot, a mixture of carbon, ammonium chloride, ammonium sulphate, sodium chloride, oxide of iron, alumina, silicate, carbonate, and sulphate of lime, magnesium silicate, silica, and potash, may be employed. A mixture of water, silica, alumina, oxide of iron, and carbonate and sulphate of lime may be used instead of the gypsum, and a mixture of gelatine, phosphate and carbonate of lime, magnesium phosphate, and sodium chloride may be used in place of the bone-meal.

Title: Improvements in and connected with Apparatus for the Condensation of Steam and Vapours.
Inventor: KLEIN JACOB
Filed: 1897-10-20
Granted: 1898-01-29
Abstract: 24,201. Klein, J. Oct. 20. Condensers.- Consists of means for condensing an intermittent supply of steam or vapour, such for instance as that from one or several engines, by the use of a condenser or battery of condensers employing a large store of condensing-water. This is sufficiently large to permit a relatively small artificial circulation, or to render natural circulation without the aid of pumps effective. The system is illustrated in the Specification with both surface and jet condensers. Figs. 1 and 2 show in sectional elevation and plan a suitable arrangement of surface apparatus. The condenser in this case consists essentially of twin groups of tubes C, C' connected together at one end, and at the opposite ends to the steam or vapour supply A and the air pump or outlet B respectively. The several condensers, as shown in Fig. 2, are placed in separate compartments so that any one can be cut out for inspection or repair. The whole group is, in this arrangement, surmounted by the water-cooling apparatus described in Specification No. 10,025, A.D. 1897.

Abstract: 11,454. Grimmer, R. May 20. Coupling.-Relates to fastenings for connecting harness to vehicles and vehicles to one another. Fig. 1 shows a fastening for connecting the traces, backhand, and breeching to the shaft S. The harness is attached to rings D, E, F on a staple C, one end of which is secured by the overhanging lug B, while the other end is retained in the socket G by a spring plate H held down by a pivoted cam-lever J. To release the animal, e.g., in the case of a fall, the lever J is operated and the staple C becomes entirely freed, remaining connected to the harness. The rings D. E, F may be removed from the staple by turning them sideways. For coupling vehicles, the link D is attached to a chain on the leading vehicle, and the parts B, H, J and base-plate A are carried by a T-shaped bar connected to the draw-bar of the other vehicle. Instead of the plate H, a screw or spiral spring may be used to secure the right end of the staple, which may be arranged in a horizontal plane.

Granted: 1899-03-18
Abstract: 16,708. Fisher, J. Aug. 2. Seeds, sowing.-Relates to a drill by means of which seeds are sown at uniform distances apart in furrows. The seed is carried in boxes b<1>, and is lifted therefrom into hoppers f by means of scoops c<1> formed on wheels c keyed to an axle d actuated from the vehicle wheels by cog-wheels d<1>, d<2>. The seed falls down the hoppers f through telescopic tubes e, e' into shoots e<3>, which deposit it in furrows formed by coulters m as usual. The shoots e<3> are provided with valves e<4> which are opened on the downward movement of the shoots by their actuating-levers g engaging a fixed rod n, as shown. Springs o close the valves when the shoots are lifted. The shoots are formed on arms h pivoted to a rod i, and connected together by a rod k which is caused to oscillate vertically by a rod k<1> which connects it to a crank-wheel k<2> secured to an axle k<3> actuated by cog-wheels k<4>, k<5> from the vehicle wheels. The wheel k' can be lifted out of gear by lifting the bearings of the axle k<3>, which can slide vertically, by means of a lever l<3> which is secured in position by a spring- actuated plate l<4> pressing it into notches l<5> formed in the frame. The shafts p by which the machine is drawn are pivoted to the axle a<2>, and carry at the rear an axle p<2> connected by chains p<4> to the rod n, so that, on rotating the axle p<2>, the shafts are lifted up out of the way. The axle p<2> is prevented from rotating back again by a pawl p<6>, which engages a ratchet-wheel p<3> secured on the axle. Rollers may be mounted as usual to prepare and finish the soil.
