Title: Drug preparation comprising .alpha.-lipoic acid, ambroxol and/or inhibitors of the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ace) and its use for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases
Inventor: ROEHNERT PETER
IPC: A61K31/385
Filed: 2004-01-16
Abstract: The present invention concerns the use of a drug composition for the prevention and the therapy of neurodegenerative diseases (for example ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke, focal and global ischemia, amyotrophic lateral slerosis (ALS), Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Hunntington's disease, multiple sclerosis). The combination of effective agents comprises at least two of the following substances: .alpha.-lipoic acid; ambroxol and one or several inhibitors) of the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE). It could surprisingly be found in the experiments on which the invention is based that neuronal cells which are particularly sensitive to degenerative insults, have less free constitutional thiol groups than have other cells of the central nervous system (CNS). It was demonstrated that this reduced content of free thiol groups is causally connected to the damaging of those cells after a degenerative event. By using the combination of .alpha.-lipoic acid, ambroxol and/or an ACE inhibitor, the damage after a neurodegenerative insult could be reduced by 40 to 45 %.

Title: Photovoltaic cell components and materials
Inventor: HE JIN-AN
IPC: H02N6/00
Filed: 2003-01-24
Abstract: A polymeric linking agent enables the manufacture of photovoltaic cells at low temperatures (< about 300 ~C) on flexible substrates, including, for example, polymeric substrates. Photovoltaic cells may be fabricated by a relatively simple continuous manufacturing process, for example, a roll-to-roll process, instead of a batch process. Processes and compositions that cause the gelling of liquid electrolytes at relatively low temperatures also facilitate the fabrication of flexible photovoltaic cells. Methods and chemical structures that improve the adhesion of a photovoltaic material to the substrates and that produce mechanically stable nanoparticle formulations are also described.  Furtehrmore, co-sensitizers that co-adsorb with a sensitizing dye to the surface of an interconnected semiconductor oxide nanoparticle material increase the efficiency of photovoltaic cells by improving their charge transfer efficiency and reducing the back transfer of electrons from the interconnected semiconductor oxide nanoparticle material to the sensitizing dye.

Inventor: KOERBER HELMUT
IPC: B01J39/04
Filed: 2003-04-08
Abstract: The invention relates to a rapid-action agent for preparing cold and hot beverages from drinking water, in particular coffee or tea. Taking into consideration the disadvantages of known prior art, the aim of the invention is to provide a rapid-action agent for preparing cold and hot beverages from drinking water, said agent being easy to use, having a uniform, consistent action, eliminating the risk of microbial formation and noticeably improving the taste of the beverage after a relatively short treatment time. To achiev e this, the inventive agent consists of cellulose fibres, which are modified b y a chemical reaction, forming phosphate ester groups and which have an ion- exchange capacity of at least 50 mg copper per g dried fibres, said agent being brought into contact, at least temporarily for a period of several minutes, with the drinking or infusion water by immersion. The cellulose fibres are chemically modified by phosphorylation using phosphoric acid or ammonium phosphate, until a phosphor content of between 3 and 8 mass % has been obtained. To increase the mechanical stability of the fibres, the phosphorylation can also be combined with a urea treatment, until a nitrogen content in the form of carbamide groups of at least 1 mass % is obtained. Th e modified cellulose fibres have such a rapid-action that after immersion in t he water of the preparation, a noticeable improvement in the taste of the drinking water and the beverages prepared from said water is achieved after only a few minutes, optionally aided by a light stirring of the liquid, without adversely affecting the taste of the respective beverage.
