Title: Beta-peptides
Inventor: STEPHENS OLEN M
IPC: C12N5/071
Filed: 2005-04-21
Abstract: .beta.-peptide regions of polypeptides can serve as structural mimics of .alpha.-helices in wild type proteins. Because .alpha.-helices of one protein often bind to a target protein in a biological pathway, a polypeptide that contains a helical .beta.-peptide region can be used to disrupt this type of protein-protein binding. As a result, polypeptides that contain a helical ~-peptide region can be used to treat conditions involving this type of protein~  protein binding, such as viral infections and cell proliferation.

Title: Heat energy recapture and recycle and its new applications
Inventor: LABRADOR GAUDENCIO AQUINO
IPC: F01K23/10
Filed: 2005-07-27
Abstract: A heat absorbing radiator and a gas turbine engine or a reciprocating piston engine are used to recapture and reconvert wasted heat energies into electric power and finally into hydrogen-deuterium fuel by having the engine's tailpipes submerged in cold compressed air inside the heat absorbing radiator pipes in reverse air flow to further drive the same engine. In order to capture fusion heat energy a hydrogen bomb is detonated in deep ocean to catch flames by water and the hot water energizes compressed air inside heat absorbing radiator pipes. In order to produce fusion energy an electric arc is passed across liquid or gaseous deuterium by an electro-plasma torch and a sparkplug in an internal combustion engine, or by detonating dynamite inside liquid deuterium. Diamond is produced by placing carbon inside a hydrogen bomb. Deuterium fusion flame is used first in smelting glass to large sizes before running an engine.

Title: Apparatus for guaranteeing the availability of subscribers in communication networks over network boundaries
Inventor: LOEBIG NORBERT
IPC: H04Q3/00
Filed: 2006-07-06
Abstract: According to prior art, for example, when danger or environmental catastrophe are imminent, the population is warned by information guided via the communication network. This type of warning is however limited when the communication network consists of a plurality of sub-networks and the (warning) information must thus be transmitted over network boundaries to the subscriber. The invention solves this problem in that a warning profile is associated with each route/transit switching centre trunk group. The association is carried out during the establishment of the route/transit switching centre trunk group, and is updated as required as changes of the network configuration. Each network transition implicitly thus has one such warning profile.
