Abstract: La présente invention se rapporte à des procédés de préparation de polymères non peptidiques, solubles dans l'eau, porteurs de groupes fonctionnels carboxyle, notamment des polymères poly(éthylène glycol)(PEG) fonctionnalisés de l'acide carboxylique, ainsi qu'à des produits obtenus conformément à ces procédés. De manière générale, un réactif ester R(C=O)OR', où R' est un groupe tertiaire et R comprend un groupe fonctionnel X, est amené à réagir avec un polymère non peptidique soluble dans l'eau POLY-Y, où Y est un groupe fonctionnel qui réagit avec X pour former une liaison covalente, de manière à former un ester tertiaire du polymère, qui est ensuite traité avec une base forte en solution aqueuse, aux fins de la production d'un sel carboxylate du polymère. Généralement, ce sel carboxylate est ensuite traité avec un acide inorganique en solution aqueuse aux fins de la conversion de ce sel carboxylate en un acide carboxylique, ceci permettant la formation d'un polymère fonctionnalisé d'acide carboxylique.

Abstract: The invention relates to novel pharmaceutical formulations based on fluids and stable aqueous colloidal suspensions for the sustained release of one or more active principles, particularly protein principles, and to the applications, particularly the therapeutic applications, of said formulations. The invention aims to provide a fluid pharmaceutical formulation for the sustained release of one or more active principles, such that, following parenteral injection, the in vivo therapeutic protein release time is increased significantly, while the plasma concentration peak of the active protein is lowered. Moreover, said formulation must be storage stable and, in addition, biocompatible, non-toxic biodegradable, non-immunogenic and well tolerated locally. According to the invention, the formulation is a low-viscosity aqueous colloidal suspension of submicronic particles of water-soluble, biodegradable polymer PO bearing hydrophobic groups (GH). The aforementioned particles are noncovalently associated with at least one active principle (PA) and form a gelled deposit on the injection site, said gelling being caused by a protein present in the physiological medium.

Title: Look-through mutagenesis for developing altered polypeptides with enhanced properties
Inventor: CREA ROBERTO
IPC: C07H21/02
Filed: 2005-07-06
Granted: 2012-04-03
Abstract: A method of mutagenesis by which a predetermined amino acid is introduced into each and every position of a selected set of positions in a preselected region (or several different regions) of a polypeptide to produce a library of polypeptide analogs is disclosed. The method is based on the premise that certain amino acids play a crucial role in the structure and function of proteins and thus is capable of identifying and distinguishing functional amino acid residues ("hot spots") from non-functional amino acids residues ("cold spots") within a polypeptide or portion thereof. Libraries can be generated which contain only desired polypeptide analogs and are of reasonable size for screening. The libraries can be used to study the role of specific amino acids in polypeptide structure and function and to develop new or improved polypeptides such as antibodies, antibody fragments, single chain antibodies, enzymes, and ligands.

Abstract: Techniques for performing rank prediction in a MIMO system are described.  Performance metrics for a plurality of ranks are initially determined. Each rank is indicative of a different number of data streams to send simultaneously via a MIMO channel. The performance metrics may relate to the capacity or signal quality of the MIMO channel or the throughput of data transmission sent via the MIMO channel. Adjustments are applied to the performance metrics for the ranks to obtain adjusted performance metrics. The adjustments account for system losses such as losses due to an error correction code used for data transmission, channel estimation errors at a receiver, variation in interference observed by the receiver, variability in transmit power due to power control, and/or other factors. A rank is selected for use based on the adjusted performance metrics for the ranks.

Abstract: An automatic electrically powered dispenser for dispensing a product stored in the dispenser , which includes an active IR sensor system for detecting a user.. The IR sensor system including at least one IR emitter and at least one IR receiver. The IR sensing system is arranged to scan for the presence of a possible user at a certain scanning rate. The sensor control system supplies the active IR emitter(s) with a first current which is constant during one or more single scans and is altered to a different, second current for further scanning. The first and second currents are determined on the basis of a signal strength of the average received IR which is received by the IR  receiver(s) during a number of previous single scans. In a simplified system, the average value of the most recently received IR values may be compared to a standard value set in the control system to alter the current supplied to the IR emitter(s). Such a system optimises detection and saves power.
