Patent EP-2747809-A2 (EP)
Inventor: FOURT JESSE ARNOLD
IPC: A61M5/20
Filed: 2012-08-21
Abstract: A refill module for use with a plunger assembly and having a housing, a syringe subassembly, a carrier and at least one latching element. The syringe subassembly is shiftable within the housing from a retracted position to an injecting position at which its injection tip projects beyond the housing end. The carrier has a passageway in which a plunger of a plunger assembly is insertable for advancement of a piston of the syringe subassembly. The syringe subassembly is engagable by the carrier to be moved from its injecting position to a point at which the injection tip is retracted within the housing when the carrier shifts from a first axial position to a second axial position. The at least one latching element is shiftable relative to the carrier from a retracted arrangement to a latching arrangement such that a latch surface of the latching element restricts a size of the passageway to prevent plunger withdrawal. The carrier is liftable within the housing to retract the injection tip into the housing when the at least one plunger is retracted and a latch abutment surface of that plunger engages the latch surface. When the carrier reaches the second axial position, the at least one latching element is shiftable to move the latch surface clear of the latch abutment surface to allow withdrawal of the at least one plunger from the passageway without further lifting of the carrier.

Abstract: A porous membrane may be manufactured with a high content of filler material and a polymer binder. After forming the membrane, the membrane may be post processed to reform the polymer binder into a stronger yet still porous membrane. The post processing may include bringing the membrane above the melt temperature of the polymer or by immersing the membrane in a solvent. Photomicrographs show that the structure may change, yet the performance of the material in batteries and other electrochemical cells may remain the same or even improve.

Abstract: Disclosed are a synthetic fiber comprising a plant fatty acid and a method for manufacturing the same. The method comprises incorporating a plant fatty acid in an amount of from 0.1 to 10.0 wt% into a fiber-formable polymer; and melt-spinning the plant fatty acid-incorporated polymer. The synthetic fiber comprises a plant fatty acid in an amount of from 0.01 to 10.0 wt%, and emanates a plant fragrance. 
     In addition to being superior to general synthetic fibers in physical properties including strength and elongation, the synthetic fiber exhibits excellent bulkiness, elasticity, whiteness, touch sensation, hygroscopicity, dyeability, and gloss. Further, the fiber is highly antistatic and gives off a plant fragrance, so that it is useful as a material for high-quality clothes.

Abstract: The invention provides a composition comprising SGEF protein or gene as a therapeutic means to clinical or subclinical defects associated with anomalies of at least one from among the macula, corpus callosum, hippocampus, liver or immune system and diseases including a feverless response to infection, a cancer or vision loss. Methods of diagnosis of such disease and development anomalies are based on detection of mutations of the SGEF gene or altered levels of the SGEF mRNA or protein. A change of at least about 20% in the level of expression visa-vie a normal individual indicates an SGEF anomaly. The SGEF protein is also used as a preventive or curative treatment of atherosclerosis by local or systemic delivery. The invention also provides a composition comprising an inhibitor of the SGEF gene expression or SGEF protein concentration, as a therapeutic means for glaucoma, osteoarthritis, auto-inflammatory diseases, tumors or cancers.
