Patent EP-1251943-B1 (EP)

Abstract: A filtration assembly is presented which removes bacteria and endotoxin from a solution so that a sterile fluid is produced. The sterile fluid is suitable for direct on-line infusion to a patient from a device, such as a dialysis machine. The filtration assembly is constructed so that two separate filtration compartments exist, resulting in redundant filtration of the fluid prior to infusion. Each compartment holds a filter which preferably consists of a longitudinal bundle of semipermeable hollow fibers. The filter is sized so that it creates a separate area within the compartment for filtrate and infusate flow. This redundant filtration produces a lower risk of creating a pyrogenic or septic condition in the patient due to filter failure.

Abstract: An input pulse signal is applied to at least one capacitor with capacitance that varies in proportion to the variation in the physical parameter. The output signal is amplified and evaluated. Prior to the pulse signal, the amplifier is reset and the null value detected, and then the value of the output signal from each capacitor is detected, digitized using a DA converter (9), and buffered. Based on the buffered difference values, the voltage across the capacitors is calculated as a digital value and buffered until new values of the next pulse are detected in the next measurement cycle. An Independent claim is included for an apparatus for performing the method.

Abstract: Two methods for operating a motor vehicle driven by an internal combustion engine (VM) and by two electrical machines (E1, E2) are proposed. The motor vehicle has a transmission (G) with two power paths (LP1, LP2) controllable independently of one another. Each power path (LP1, LP2) is coupled via a respective epicyclic gear (P1, P2) to one of the electrical machines (LP1, LP2) and to the input shaft (KW) of the transmission (G) and can be coupled via shiftable gears (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, R) to the output shaft (AW) of the transmission (G). The object is to make it possible to operate the motor vehicle more efficiently. To reduce circulating mechanical power flow between the two power paths (LP1, LP2), particularly in the boost mode or upon recuperation of braking energy, the gear combination (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, R) is varied, or the engine rpm is lowered, or only one electrical machine (E1, E2) is used as a generator. More-comfortable operation is additionally achieved in that upon electrical starting, the engine (VM) is started simultaneously.

Abstract: A reagent composition adapted to be coated onto a support surface in order to provide that surface with a high density of reactive groups. The surface, thus coated, can be used for any suitable purpose, and is particularly well suited for use as a solid phase synthesis support surface. The synthesis support surface, in turn, can be used in repetitive and combinatorial syntheses such as the synthesis of polynucleotides, polypeptides and polysaccharides. The polymeric coating can be used to provide increased effective surface area, particularly in situations in which the effective area of the support surface is itself limited, as on the surface of a silicon wafer. In so doing, the polymeric coating provides an optimal combination of such properties as reactive density and surface area or volume.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the identification of CTL epitopes by the combination of biochemical assays, statistical matrix calculations, and artificial neural networks. A set of peptide libraries are used to generate complete unbiased matrices representing peptide-MHC interactions used to generate a primary prediction of MHC binding for all possible non-redundant peptides. The best binders are subject to a quantitative biochemical binding assay and subsequently a computerised artificial neural network prediction program built from these in vitro experimental MHC-I binding data. The method further comprises improving the identified epitope by replacing amino acids, and testing the identified CTL epitopes in in vitro and in vivo models. Thus, one aspect of the invention relates to the identification of a CTL component of a vaccine and the development of said CTL component. Another aspect of the invention relates to the identified epitopes of said CTL component.

Abstract: In a radiofrequency network, such as a Bluetooth network, two devices are securely identified to one another for a communication session. One of the devices is designated as a master apparatus, and the other is a slave apparatus. An automatic identification process is carried out by placing the two devices in close proximity with one another, and transmitting very short range signals from the master apparatus, to be exclusively received by the slave apparatus. If the two devices are able to communicate over this short range, an identification key is generated and passed to the slave apparatus for subsequent exchanges in normal, larger range communications.
