Patent EP-3672579-A2 (EP)
Inventor: AMBATI JAYAKRISHNA
IPC: A61K31/00
Filed: 2018-10-09
Abstract: It is disclosed herein that RPE degeneration in human cell culture and in mouse models is driven by a non-canonical inflammasome pathway that results in activation of caspase-4 (also known as caspase-11 in mouse) and caspase-1, and requires cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS)-dependent interferon-β (IFN-β) production and gasdermin D-dependent interleukin-18 (IL-18) secretion. Reduction of DICERl or accumulation of Alu RNA triggers cytosolic escape of mitochondrial DNA, which engages cGAS. Collectively, these data highlight an unexpected role for cGAS in responding to mobile element transcripts, reveal cGAS-driven interferon signaling as a conduit for mitochondrial damage-induced NLRP3 activation, and expand the immune sensing repertoire of cGAS and caspase-4 to non-infectious human disease. Coupled with the unexpected result that caspase-4, gasdermin D, IFN-β, and cGAS are elevated in the RPE of human eyes with geographic atrophy, these findings also identify new targets for a major cause of blindness.

Title: Aliphatic 18f-radiolabeling of a tetrazine precursor
Inventor: HERTH MATTHIAS
IPC: C07B59/00
Filed: 2022-03-04
Abstract: Up ontil now, only low reactivity Tzs can be radiolabeled via direct aliphatic S N 2. Unfortunately, these structures display too low reactivity for in vivo bioorthogonal chemistry approaches. Highly reactive structures such as mono-unsubstituted tetrazines (H-Tzs) have been reported to be highly sensitive to base. Extensive degradation is observed which prevents isolation of meaningful amounts for imaging studies. In the present invention there is provided a method providing the possibility to radiolabel base sensitive tetrazine structures with significantly improved RCYs. Even tetrazines that were previously not accessible by applying "standard" aliphatic  18 F-labeling strategies can be radiolabeled. This places new classes of  18 F-fluorinated compounds within reach for application in PET imaginge studies such as for diagnosis of cancers.

IPC: F02M51/00
Filed: 1980-10-09
Abstract: A fuel injection control system utilizes a microprocessor to calculate and generate one or more logic control signals that determine the duration of the energization time of intermittently energized electromagnetic fuel injectors. The microprocessor has a number of inputs which are indicative of engine operation, such as intake manifold vacuum, engine crankshaft position and speed, engine operating temperature, and perhaps less important parameters. During engine cranking most of these parameters are not available. The invention overcomes this problem with the use of an analog computer that shares circuitry used by the microprocessor when the microprocessor is either in a default mode of operation or when the engine is being cranked.

Drive control means (33-35,37,38) coupled with the traction means are operable automatically to cause the strip, after engagement with the traction means has been brought about, to move along the working path to such an extent that a preselected portion of the strip is presented at the operating station. Such a system can simplify alignment of desired parts of the strip with the operating station, for example the alignment of the top of a page as defined by fold lines on the strip.
