Patent EP-0583170-B1 (EP)
Inventor: TRUTER PATRICIA-ANN
IPC: B01J13/00

Granted: 1997-07-16
Abstract: The invention provides translucent, water-insoluble hydrogel compositions and methods of making them. The hydrogel compositions comprise a polyvinyl alcohol polymer and a complexing agent which are physically crosslinked to form a semi-crystalline polyvinyl alcohol-complexing agent polymer complex. The hydrogel compositions may be prepared by:   (i) combining a polyvinyl alcohol polymer with a suitable aprotic solvent; (ii) Adding a complexing agent to (i) to form a water soluble complex with the polyvinyl alcohol polymer; and (iii) Allowing the polyvinyl alcohol polymer and the complexing agent to form a water-insoluble, semi-crystalline structure.   The formation of the semi-crystalline structure is assisted by freezing the polyvinyl alcohol/complexing agent/polar aprotic solvent mixture. The hydrogel compositions are translucent or transparent. They exhibit relatively high stress strength and low oxygen permeability. They are particularly suitable for use as wound dressings for skin wounds, especially burn wounds. For such applications, therapeutic additives, e.g. allantoin, may advantageously be included in the hydrogel compositions.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the production of lactic acid-based polyurethanes. In the first phase of the production, monomeric lactic acid is polymerized into an oligomer having a molecular weight of about 500 to 10,000. Next, the oligomer thus obtained is copolymerized with an isocyanate which reacts with the free hydroxyl and carboxyl groups of the oligomer to produce a high molecular weight polyurethane. The lactic acid used need not be absolutely pure. Various biodegradable end products can be obtained suitable for use as material for disposable packages, agricultural film or planting pots, or a coating for fertilizer granules.

Abstract: A method for treating liquid waste water sludge after its generation and separation from the waste liquid involves forcibly impacting sludge particles and microbial cells against a contact surface to thereby fragment the particles into smaller-sized particles and break apart the organic cells. As a result of such a fragmentation process, water located in the pores of the sludge particles is released, thereby enhancing a subsequent dewatering process performed on the sludge. The destruction of the cells permits a subsequent solids digestion process to work more efficiently, while also permitting a more complete conversion to dissolved sugars, proteins and carbon dioxide.

Abstract: A recombinant virus is provided which is obtained from a BHV virus originally having the gI gene whose DNA sequence is delimited by nucleotides 172 and 1311 of SEQ ID NO:1 herein and which has been mutated by total or partial deletion and/or insertion in this region. By the mutation in this region, there is no longer any expression of the glycoprotein which has been mutated or rendered inactive, and thus animals vaccinated with these mutants do not develop antibodies against the glycoprotein and can be serologically distinguished from animals infected by field BHV-1 strains and other vaccinal strains currently used. A method of using the present recombinant virus is also provided which allows one to distinguish infected animals from vaccinated animals in a manner that has not previously been possible using presently available commercial vaccines. The invention is thus advantageous in that the mutant viruses obtained by the invention can be used as vectors for expression of various foreign genes so as to prepare useful vaccines against bovine and ruminant diseases.

Abstract: A packet data transmission system is used to link a number of remote hand-held data-gathering units such as bar code readers to a central computer. Data packets are sent from the remote units by a spread spectrum RF link to intermediate base stations, then sent by the base stations to the central computer by a serial link. The remote hand-held units initiate an RF exchange to and from the base stations, receiving only during a time window following a transmission from the remote unit. The base stations cannot initiate an exchange with the remote units, but instead send data to the remote units only as part of the exchange. To alert a remote unit when a message is waiting at a base station to be sent to a particular unit, some of the acknowledge (base-to-remote) packets sent by the base station may contain an identification such as a list of all remote units (identified by ID number) which have messages waiting. Alternatively, a bit map can be used to identify these remotes. These base-to-remote packets with the identification of remotes with messages waiting are called "announcements." Each remote unit (if not engaged in regular exchanges for a time interval) periodically listens (activates its receiver) to receive an announcement packet containing such a list or bit map and decodes this announcement to see if it has a message waiting. If so, this remote unit then sends a transmit packet so the base can send the waiting message in an acknowledge packet.

Abstract: A method and system for mucosally administering a macromolecular drug to mucosa of the oral cavity is shown. The system comprises an inner drug/enhancer/polymer layer having one surface adapted to contact and adhere to the mucosal tissue of the oral cavity and an opposing surface in contact with and adhering to an overlying inert layer. The inner layer contains from about two to sixty percent by weight of a bile salt enhancer, five to sixty five percent by weight of a hydrophilic polymer which is water soluble or swellable and an effective amount of a macromolecular drug having a molecular weight of at least 500 daltons. Polysaccharides, polypeptides and proteins are preferred forms of macromolecular drugs. The bile salt enhancer facilitates the delivery of macromolecules such as low molecular weight heparin and calcitonin. The polymer serves as a plasticizer to prevent the crystallization and/or aggregation of such macromolecular drugs. Hydroxypropyl cellulose is a particularly suitable polymer.
