Patent CA-2392708-A1 (CA)
Title: Apparatus for applying supplementary products to printed products
Inventor: HAENSCH EGON
IPC: B65H37/04
Filed: 2002-07-09
Abstract: A number of circulatory elements arranged one behind the other are driven in a direction of circulation and have a suction element and a supporting element in each case on the first side and on the second side.      The circulatory elements receive a supplementary product at the pick-up location and transfer the same, in a first mode of operation, to the respectively preceding circulatory element. In a second mode of operation, no transfer takes place. This results in it being possible for the supplementary products received in the same manner to be brought into abutment optionally against the leading side or trailing side of the printed products and pressed on there.

Title: Chaines legeres recombinees de neurotoxines de botulinum et proteines de fusion a chaines legeres a utiliser dans la recherche et la therapie clinique
Inventor: SMITH LEONARD A
IPC: C12N9/64
Filed: 2001-11-06
Abstract: Les neurotoxines de botulinum, les plus puissantes des toxines, induisent la paralysie neuromusculaire létale en inhibant l'exocytose au niveau de la jonction neuromusculaire. Les chaînes légères (CL) desdites neurotoxines à deux chaînes constituent une nouvelle classe d'endopeptidase à zinc qui coupent spécifiquement les protéines synaptiques, SNAP-25, VAMP, ou la syntaxine au niveau de sites séparés. L'invention concerne la construction, l'expression, la purification et l'utilisation de gènes de neurotoxines de botulinum de recombinaison. Par exemple, un gène synthétique pour la CL du sérotype A des neurotoxines de botulinum (BoNT/A) a été construit et surexprimé dans escherichia coli. Le produit génique a été purifié, de sorte qu'il soit débarrassé des corps d'inclusion. Les procédés de l'invention peuvent permettre la production de 1,1 g de LC par litre de milieu de culture. Le produit CL est stable en solution à 4 ·C pendant au moins 6 mois. Ladite LC de rBoNT/A est active au plan protéolytique en coupant spécifiquement la liaison Glu-Arg dans un peptide synthétique à 17 résidus, de SNAP-25, le site de coupure recensé de BoNT/A. Son efficacité catalytique calculée k¿cat?/K¿m? est supérieure à celle recensée pour la chaîne double de BoNT/A. Le traitement de la LC de rBoNT/A au moyen de composés mercuriques supprime totalement son activité, très probablement par la modification du résidu 164 de cystéine, situé à proximité du site actif. Environ 70 % de l'activité de CL est rétablie par l'addition de Zn?2+¿ à une préparation apo-CL, exempte de Zn?2+¿. La CL est non toxique pour les souris et ne parvient pas à éliciter le(s) épitope(s) neutralisants lorsque les animaux ont été vaccinés avec cette protéine. De plus, l'injection de CL de rBoNT/A dans des oeufs d'oursins induit l'inhibition de la refermeture de la membrane plasmique dépendant de l'exocytose.
Patent CA-2428551-A1 (CA)
Inventor: FUJISAWA TOMOJI
IPC: G01C21/16
Filed: 2003-05-13
Abstract: The object of the invention is to measure, surely and in a stable condition, the orientation of a pig body in the pipe of a pipeline thereby to correct errors caused by measuring the linear shape of the pipeline by means of a gyroscope sensor.        A three-axis gyroscope sensor unit 4 is placed in a pig body 2 such that one of measuring axes of the gyroscope sensor unit 4 is parallel to the center axis of the pig body 2 and is fixed so as to prevent the gyroscope sensor unit 4 from being shifted in position with respect to the pig body 2. Two sets of six distance measuring means 5-10 and 11-16 are arranged on the outer periphery of the pig body 2 at two positions in the back and forth direction (in a direction of travel), respectively, and the six distance measuring means of each set are arranged at equal intervals in the circumferential direction of the pig body 2. Deviation between the center axis of the pig body 2 and the center axis of the pipeline is calculated from the outputs of the distance measuring means 5-10 and 11-16 and the output of the three-axis gyroscope sensor unit 4 is corrected based on the deviation. In this manner, errors caused by the orientation of the pig body 2 are corrected and hence the correct measurement of the linear shape of the pipeline can be performed.
