Title: Polyamine with reduced blushing and use thereof as a curing agent for epoxy resins
Inventor: BUETIKOFER PIERRE-ANDRE
IPC: C08G59/40
Filed: 2009-06-12
Abstract: The present invention relates to novel polyamines A1 of formula (I) or (II).  They can be easily synthesized from readily available raw materials and have no primary amino groups or only a low content of primary amino groups and thus exhibit hardly any blushing. Their viscosity is relatively low, compared with polyamine/polyepoxide adducts of the polyamine on which polyamine A1 is based. Thus epoxy resin compositions can be formulated which are free of benzyl alcohol and free of blushing.

Abstract: Two universally conserved sequences from influenza type A neuraminidases were identified by large scale sequence analysis then chemically modified and conjugated to carrier proteins to generate mono-specific and monoclonal antibodies.  The two antibodies, one targeting the N-terminus of the type A neuraminidase and the other sequence close to enzymatic active site, were capable of binding to all 9 subtypes of neuraminidase while demonstrating remarkable specificity against the viral neuraminidase sequences since no cross-reactivity against allantoic proteins was observed. Quantitative analyses of NA using slot blot suggest that the antibodies can be used for NA antigen quantitation in vaccines. These represent the first time the antibody-based immunoassay can be used for NA quantitative determination.

Abstract: A packaging container has an upper top member and a lower bottom member, and at least one cooperating locking means. Each locking means comprises an upstanding post and a cooperating opening or recess formed in extending lips of the top and bottom members. A weakened fault zone is formed in the immediate region of each post, or of each cooperating opening or recess, and circumscribes the same. The packaging container is locked in its closed position after it has been filled, by crimping the end of each post in an axial direction so as to mechanically deform the post. Any attempt to disengage a crimped post will result in failure of the respective weakened fault zone and may be construed as tampering, and thus the damaged material of the package in the region of the failed fault zone is evidence of tampering.
