Title: Toothbrush manufacturing handling device with a body having a toothbrush shaped recess and a tooth brush head shaped cavity in which the bristles of the toothbrush do not contact the interior surface of the cavity
Inventor: SORRENTINO ALAN V
IPC: A46D3/08
Filed: 1999-05-18
Abstract: A toothbrush handling device for handling of toothbrushes during the manufacturing process. The device is a rigid toothbrush holder with fixed dimensions which is easily transported in a conveyor type apparatus. The holder is formed with a generally toothbrush-shaped portion and terminates in at least one cavity suitable to hold at least the head portion of the toothbrush such that the bristles do not contact any interior surface of the cavity. If only one cavity is present, it is large enough to permit a gripping mechanism to grasp a portion of the brush to permit the insertion of the brush into or the removal of the brush from the transport device. Also, if more than one cavity is present, the cavities are separated by a supporting wall. The device enables improved and easier handling of the toothbrushes during manufacturing and processing, and protects the bristles from damage during those processes.

Title: Novel methods for the identification of ligand and target biomolecules
Inventor: HALKIER TORBEN
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 1999-07-16
Abstract: Methods for identification of biologically active biomolecules. In one aspect, a biologically active biomolecule such as RNA or a peptide is identified by incorporating random nucleotide sequences in a scaffold constituted by an enzyme activity modulator, transforming substantially identical host cells with the construct obtained thereby and screening the transformed cells to identify those where a preselected phenotypic trait has been altered. The randomized DNA is subsequently isolated from the phenotypically altered cells and the peptide and/or RNA encoded by the random sequence is determined. In turn, interaction partners which are putative drug targets are identified and isolated by use of the peptide and/or RNA as part of affinity reagents. A preferred scaffold is derived from the potato inhibitor I family of protease inhibitors and exemplified is the barley chymotrypsin inhibitor 2A (CI-2A). Another aspect relates to the identification of novel enzyme inhibitors by using substantially the same approach, but screening specifically for changes in target enzyme activity. Also disclosed are methods of producing the relevant transformation and expression vectors as well as methods for identifying lead compounds and drug targets for use in drug development. Finally, the invention also includes within its scope a method for the preparation of a medicinal product.
