Title: Internal mix air atomizing spray nozzle assembly
Inventor: HUFFMAN DAVID C
IPC: B05B1/34
Filed: 2003-05-07
Abstract: A nozzle for atomizing and spraying liquid is provided. The nozzle includes a longitudinal liquid flow passageway that terminates in a liquid orifice for directing a stream of liquid along a predetermined axis. A plurality of intersecting, transverse passageways extend perpendicular to and intersect the predetermined axis. Each of the transverse passageways terminates at either end in an outlet. The transverse passageways define a first impingement surface downstream of the liquid orifice for breaking up a stream of liquid impinging thereon into a laterally spreading dispersion which disperses through the transverse passageways. An air annulus is arranged in surrounding relation to the outlets of the transverse passageways and oriented to discharge air in a downstream direction so as to strike the fluid dispersed through the outlets of the transverse passageways. An expansion chamber is arranged downstream of the transverse passageways and air annulus. The expansion chamber communicates with a nozzle discharge orifice.

Title: Two-piece main boom for a latice-boom crane and method for erection thereof
Inventor: DIEHL STEFAN
IPC: B66C23/90
Filed: 2004-03-26
Abstract: The present invention substantially relates to a method for erecting and disassembling an at least two-piece main boom for a lattice-boom crane. The erecting and disassembling procedure results in that the geometric kinematic properties of the main boom ( 1, 2 ) are used in such a manner that during the erecting and disassembling, the effective lever arm ( 1' ) of the main boom ( 1, 2 ) is reduced. This results from the main boom ( 1, 2 ) being bent at the hinge point (A), at which at least two boom portions ( 1, 2 ) are connected to each other, and thus an angle position is produced between the two boom portions ( 1, 2 ). Further, the invention relates to a main boom ( 1, 2 ), which can be erected by the method as well as a lattice-boom crane having such an main boom ( 1, 2 ).

Title: Procedes et compositions pour l’immunotherapie adoptive
Inventor: TRAPANI JOSEPH A
IPC: A61P35/00
Filed: 2005-12-12
Abstract: Un premier aspect de la présente invention concerne un procédé de production d’une réponse immunitaire adoptive vis-à-vis d’une cellule cible chez un sujet. Ce procédé comprend les étapes consistant à modifier génétiquement un lymphocyte T CD4+ et un lymphocyte T CD8+ en vue d’exprimer une molécule capable de se lier à un antigène présent sur la cellule cible, ainsi qu’à administrer à un sujet un nombre efficace de lymphocytes T CD4+ et T CD8+ génétiquement modifiés. Selon ce procédé, les lymphocytes T CD4+ et les lymphocytes T CD8+ sont obtenus du sujet, génétiquement modifiés et réadministrés au sujet afin de produire la réponse immunitaire adoptive. Les déposants ont établi que dans des expériences de transfert adoptif menées in vivo, l’administration d’un nombre efficace de cellules CD4+ génétiquement modifiés pour les antigènes et associés aux cellules CD8+ permet d’augmenter de manière significative la réponse immunitaire vis-à-vis d’une cellule cible. La présente invention a démontré que l’injection de lymphocytes T CD4+ et T CD8+ génétiquement modifiés en vue d’exprimer une molécule capable de se lier à un antigène associé à une tumeur a permis d’améliorer de manière significative la survie des sujets présentant des métastases pulmonaires établies, par rapport au transfert de lymphocytes T non fractionnés génétiquement modifiés dérivés de la rate (principalement les lymphocytes CD8+). Il est important de noter que les réponses anti-tumorales des sujets étaient corrélées à une persistance et à la localisation des lymphocytes T génétiquement modifiés dans le site tumoral ainsi que dans le sang et la rate. Par ailleurs, les déposants ont démontré que les sujets traités par les lymphocytes T CD4+ et CD8+ génétiquement modifiés ayant survécu le premier challenge tumoral ont pu faire face à un challenge ultérieur de la même tumeur. Les études divulguées dans la présente invention mettent en évidence l’avantage thérapeutique du transfert combiné de lymphocytes T CD4+ et CD8+ génétiquement modifiés à spécificité antigénique dans le but d’améliorer de manière significative les stratégies adoptives des lymphocytes T pour le traitement des affections telles que le cancer et les maladies infectieuses.
