Patent NZ-706106-A (NZ)
Title: Array for processing materials
Inventor: PARADIS ROBERT
IPC: H01J37/317
Filed: 2014-03-07
Abstract: Many potential lignocellulosic feedstocks are available today, including agricultural residues, woody biomass, municipal waste, oilseeds/cakes and seaweed, to name a few. At present, these materials are often under-utilized, being used, for example, as animal feed, biocompost materials, burned in a co-generation facility or even landfilled. Lignocellulosic biomass includes crystalline cellulose fibrils embedded in a hemicellulose matrix, surrounded by lignin. This produces a compact matrix that is difficult to access by enzymes and other chemical, biochemical and/or biological processes. Cellulosic biomass materials (e.g. , biomass material from which the lignin has been removed) is more accessible to enzymes and other conversion processes, but even so, naturally-occurring cellulosic materials often have low yields (relative to theoretical yields) when contacted with hydrolyzing enzymes. Lignocellulosic biomass is even more recalcitrant to enzyme attack. Furthermore, each type of lignocellulosic biomass has its own specific composition of cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin. The present invention aims to provide a treatment operating unit, comprising: a plurality of enclosure systems, each enclosure system including one or more vaults, and within each vault, an irradiation device and a treatment conveyor, wherein a biomass material is treated in each vault utilizing the irradiation device and the treatment conveyor. The present invention further aims to provide a method for producing treated biomass materials, the method comprising; partitioning a biomass material into a plurality of biomass material portions, conveying the biomass material portions into a plurality of first vaults, each first vault accepting one of the biomass material portions, treating the biomass material portions in the vaults, conveying the biomass material portions out of the first vaults, and combining the biomass material portions.

Title: Cd123-specific chimeric antigen receptor redirected t cells and methods of their use
Inventor: FORMAN STEPHEN
IPC: A61K35/14
Filed: 2014-03-14
Abstract: A family of chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) containing a CD123 specific scFv was developed to target different epitopes on CD123. In some embodiments, such a CD123 chimeric antigen receptor (CD123CAR) gene includes an anti-CD123 scFv region fused in frame to a modified IgG4 hinge region comprising an S228P substitution, an L235E substitution, and an N297Q substitution; a costimulatory signaling domain; and a T cell receptor (TCR) zeta chain signaling domain. When expressed in healthy donor T cells (CD4/CD8), the CD123CARs redirect T cell specificity and mediated potent effector activity against CD123+ cell lines as well as primary AML patient samples. Further, T cells obtained from patients with active AML can be modified to express CD123CAR genes and are able to lyse autologous AML blasts in. Finally, a single dose of 5.0 x 10vitro CAR123 T cells results in significantly delayed leukemic progression in mice. These results suggest that CD123CAR-transduced T cells may be used as an immunotherapy for the treatment of high risk AML.

Title: Method and device for filling a spacer frame for producing an insulation glazing
Inventor: STAHL-BIDINGER MARKUS
IPC: E06B3/673
Filed: 2016-09-05
Abstract: According to a known method for producing a triple insulating glazing unit, the inner or third pane is inserted into the groove of the spacer, then, the first pane is installed on the first pane contact surface and the second pane is installed on the second pane contact surface of the spacer, and, thereafter, the pane arrangement comprising the panes and the spacer is pressed together. The spacer is preferably filled with a molecular sieve or a molecular sieve mixture. This process step is performed by a filling device. With the known filling devices, the necessary molecular sieve filling for the insulating glazing cannot be checked during the filling operation. The filling devices have integrated through-flow measurement that is resistance sensitive. When the mass flow stops, the production system halts and incorrectly indicates that the spacer frame is filled. It is not possible, during production, to determine how high the fill level is and whether the desired amount of molecular sieve is in the spacer frame. The present disclosure relates to a method for filling a spacer frame with a filler for producing an insulating glazing unit comprising a) calculating a fill time for filling the spacer frame 1 to a fill level of 100%, b) inserting the spacer frame 1 into a filling device with scales 2 and a frame holder 3, wherein the spacer frame 1 is suspended in suspension devices 4, 5, and 6, c) filling the spacer frame 1 for the calculated fill time, and d) weighing the spacer frame 1 and determining the fill level, wherein the filling of the spacer frame is terminated if the fill level is > 90%.
