Title: Laser-writable film
Inventor: KOSSLINGER ROBERT
IPC: B41M5/24
Filed: 2003-11-25
Abstract: The opaque inscription layer (2) is applied to a portion of the underside of the transparent top film (1) and is comprised of thin lamellar metal particles (3) incorporated into a matrix material (4) like a printing ink. The inscription layer (2) can be applied to the underside of the top film (1) using printing techniques. Aluminum flakes are particularly well-suited for use as the metal particles (3) and can be commercially obtained in particle sizes of around 15 ñm with submicron thicknesses. When viewed through the top film, the inscription layer has a silvery white color of a high brilliance. Due to the incorporated metal particles (3), the inscription layer (2) depicts a medium that can be locally modified by irradiating it with a laser beam. The particle structure is effectively destroyed at the location of laser irradiation whereby rendering the inscription layer (2) locally transparent. When the laser beam is displaced over the inscription layer (2) along a path, which corresponds to the desired inscription, it leaves behind the inscription in the form of a transparent track.

IPC: F03B17/04
Filed: 2006-07-21
Abstract: A system for generating electricity for supply to a grid during periods of high tariff comprises an array of water-containing vessels immersed into a large body of water to a substantial depth with the lower end of the vessel spaced above the water bed. An inlet at the lower end of the vessel is associated with a valve whereby when the valve is closed water can be pumped out of the vessel using off-peak electricity. Water flowing into the vessel when the valve is opened drives a turbine within the vessel to generate electricity to be fed to the grid at peak pricing periods. In one embodiment each vessel is in the form of a tube suspended from fixed structure above the water level and immersed to a substantial depth, typically 60 metres or more. In other embodiments the vessels are in the form of floating vessels tethered relative to the water bed.

Abstract: A plow (P) sits down on movable slats (10) of a reciprocating slat conveyor formed of the movable slats (10) and fixed slats (12) which are between the movable slats (10). The movable slats (10) and fixed slats (12) define valley regions between the movable slats (10). The plow (P) has fingers (92, 106) which extend into the valley regions.

Title: Compositions and methods of treating disease with FGFR fusion proteins
Inventor: QIN MINMIN
IPC: C07K14/71
Filed: 2006-07-24
Abstract: The invention provides FGFR fusion proteins, methods of making them, and methods of using them to treat proliferative disorders, including cancers and disorders of angiogenesis. The FGFR fusion molecules can be made in CHO cells and may comprise deletion mutations in the extracellular domains of the FGFRs which improve their stability. These fusion proteins inhibit the growth and viability of cancer cells in vitro and in vivo. The combination of the relatively high affinity of these receptors for their ligand FGFs and the demonstrated ability of these decoy receptors to inhibit tumor growth is an indication of the clinical value of the compositions and methods provided herein.
