Title: Steroid sulfamates, method for the production and use thereof
Inventor: SCHUMANN WINFRIED
IPC: C07J63/00
Filed: 1998-03-18
Granted: 2009-09-08
Abstract: The invention relates to novel estratrienes of general formula (I) containin g several sulfamoyoxy groups per molecule (m = 1-5). They are produced by reacting the appropriate steroid alcohols with sulfamoy or n-alkyl or alkanoylsulfamoyl chloride in the presence of a buffer or a base. The compounds of formula (I) are characterized by a high sulfatase activity and are therefore suitable for the treatment of diseases responding to sulfatase inhibition. The high target specificity of the inventive compounds in relation to sulfatase and estrogen transcription assays enable said compounds, which are provided with a radiolabel e.g. [18F] fluorine instead of F, to be used as potential markers in tumor diagnosis. <IMG>

Abstract: An improved cobalt-base braze alloy composition and method for diffusion brazing are provided for use in repairing superalloy articles. The improved cobalt-base braze alloy composition includes nickel; at least one element selected from the group of rhenium, palladium, and platinum; at least one element selected from the group of boron and silicon; and the remaining balance consists of cobalt.  This composition may also include aluminum, and the composition may be combined with one or more base metal superally compositions to form an improved diffusion braze alloy mixture. In the improved method for repairing superalloy articles, the foregoing mixture is applied to a region of the superalloy article to be repaired, heated to melt the cobalt-base braze alloy and join the base metal superalloy particles together and the entire mixture to the region being repaired, and subjected to a diffusion braze heat treatment cycle in order to break down undesirable phases and to diffuse the melting point depressants into the mixture. After cooling, an environmental coating is applied to the final repair composite, which composite significantly improves the cyclic oxidation resistance of the coating compared to the properties of the superalloy base metal.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a connector for joining fluid flow passegesways in a fluid handling system. The connector may be manually manipulated, without using any tools, to quickly and easily couple or decouple the mating connector components. Those components include a plug having a cylindrical plug wall and a radially extending flange, and a mating socket having a cylindrical socket wall and a pair of diametrically opposed retainers. The retainers each comprise an axially extending flexible lever spaced from the socket wall. The lever is joined to the socket wall at a base or proximal end and has a latch at its free or distal end. The lever is also joined to the socket wall by a fulcrum wall or living hinge positioned intermediate the ends of the lever. A split lock ring is disposed between the socket wall and each retainer and is movable from a position adjacent the base of each retainer to a position remote from the base of each retainer. The latch at the free end of each retainer is engageable with the plug flange to prevent disengagement of the plug and socket when the levers are in their free, unstressed state. However, the levers may be manually deflected or depressed at a flexing portion thereof when the lock ring is positioned adjacent the retainer bases to disengage each latch from the plug flange and thereby permit axial decoupling of the plug and socket.

Abstract: A reversible mortise lock comprises a latch bolt which is removable from the housing for ease of reversal. A securing member is disposed inside the lock housing for releasbly holding the latch bolt in the housing. The securing member includes a securing element having a blocking surface biased into engagement with the latch bolt for securing the latch bolt to the securing member. The securing element has a surface accessible from outside the lock housing which when pressed releases the latch bolt from the securing member. Once the latch bolt is freed, the latch bolt can be completely removed from the lock housing, reversed and reinstalled. This releasing surface is only accessible through the side walls of the lock housing. Therefore, latch bolt reversal must be performed before the lock is installed in a door. Once the lock is installed, the latch bolt cannot be reversed because the latch bolt cannot be removed from the lock. A locking mechanism for use in the lock comprises a blocking element in the housing and a toggle for manually moving the blocking element between a locked position and an unlocked position relative to a latch operator. A stop is removably attached to the blocking element and adapted in the locked position to prevent operation of the outside latch operator. The stop is also accessible through the side walls of the lock housing and positioning of the stop in the blocking element is accomplished before installation. Preferably, the stop is a threaded plug which is received in a threaded opening in the blocking element. Thus, a screw driver is the only tool needed to release the latch bolt from the lock housing for reversal of the latch boil and locking mechanism.

Abstract: T-DNA tagging with a promoterless .beta.-glucuronidase (GUS) gene generated transgenic Nicotiana tabacum plants that expressed GUS activity either only in developing seed coats, or constitutively. Cloning an d deletion analysis of the GUS fusion revealed that the promoter responsible for seed coat specificity was located in the plant DNA proximal to the GUS gene. Analysis of the region demonstrated that the seed coat-specificity of GUS expression in this transgenic plant resulted fr om T-DNA insertion next to a cryptic promoter. This promoter is useful in controlling the expression of genes to the developing seed coat in plant seeds. Similarly, cloning and characterization of the cryptic constitutive promoter revealed the occurrence of several cryptic regulatory regions. These regions include promoter, negative regulatory elements, transcriptional enhancers, core promoter regions, and translationa l enhancers and other regulatory elements.
