Title: Method and compositions for chlorine dioxide manufacture
Inventor: ROSENBLATT AARON A
IPC: C01B11/10
Filed: 1992-08-04
Granted: 1993-10-07
Abstract: A method and apparatus for the generation, use, and disposal of chlorine dioxide is disclosed. A solid sodium chlorite composition having impurities, at least one of which is sodium hydroxide, is contacted with an agent to consume essentially all of the sodium hydroxide. Chlorine dioxide gas is then generated by contacting the resultant composition with chlorine in a humidified inert carrier gas. The resultant chlorine dioxide gas mixture may then be treated to remove chlorine gas present therein by contacting the same with soda-lime in particulate form. After using the chlorine dioxide gas mixture in the desired manner, chlorine dioxide present in the spent effluent gas may be substantially removed via the introduction of the effluent gas into an aqueous solution of sodium thiosulfate having a sufficient amount of an inorganic base to maintain the alkalinity of the solution during consumption of thiosulfate by chlorine dioxide.

Title: Impact-damped biopsy instrument
Inventor: WEILANDT ANDERS
IPC: A61B10/02
Filed: 1999-03-01
Granted: 2001-03-29
Abstract: A biopsy instrument comprises a canula slidingly disposed in a finger tube having a finger at its distal end. By forward displacement of the finger tube relative to the canula the finger is inserted into an opening in the canula wall near its cutting front edge. Thereby a piece of tissue located inside the canula is severed from living tisue. The instrument has a steel spring compressed against a force of at least 35 N for displacing the canula and the finger tube in the tissue cutting step. The stopper on which the moving canula impacts includes an element of an impact damping design. The impact damping element is made of high impact grade ABS-polymer or a polymer with similar physical properties. It can be used also with known biopsy instruments having a moving canula and/or stylet driven by powerful spring means.

Title: Method for producing angular, stainless shot-blasting abrasives based on an FE-CR-C alloy
Inventor: SAENGER REINHARD
IPC: C21D6/00
Filed: 2001-01-11
Granted: 2004-01-29
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing rust-resistant, angular shot-blasting abrasives (>60 HRC) based on a Fe-Cr-C alloy. According to said method, a granulate consisting of an iron-chrome-carbon alloy is tempered to >60 HRC by subjecting it to a thermal treatment of greater than 900° Celsius in a reduced atmosphere. A stainless, hard material which can be reduced to angular granules is thus produced. This results in shot-blasting abrasives with excellent characteristics for treating the surface of workpieces consisting of stainless material, e.g. stainless steel, non-ferrous metal and natural stone.

Title: Polyketides and their synthesis
Inventor: LEADLAY PETER FRANCIS
IPC: A61P31/04
Filed: 1999-06-29
Granted: 2003-07-17
Abstract: A polyketide synthase ("PKS") of Type I is a complex multienzyme including a loading domain linked to a multiplicity of extension domains. The first extension module receives an acyl starter unit from the loading domain and each extension module adds a further ketide unit which may undergo processing (e.g. reduction). We have found that the Ksq domain possessed by some PKS's has decarboxylating activity, e.g. generating (substituted) acyl from (substituted) malonyl. The CLF domain of type II PKS's has similar activity. By inserting loading modules including such domains into PKS's not normally possessing them it is possible to control the starter units used.

Title: Membrane-associated immunogens of mycobacteria
Inventor: KAPOOR ARCHANA
IPC: A61K39/00
Filed: 1993-06-28
Granted: 1998-03-26
Abstract: Nucleic acid encoding four novel immunodeterminant protein antigens of M. bovis BCG, which is a vaccine strain for tuberculosis, have been isolated. These genes were isolated as immunoreactive recombinant clones from a genomic library of M. bovis BCG DNA and screened with sera collected from tuberculosis patients. The BCG DNA expressed an antigen of Mr 90 kD, and an ORF encoding 761 amino acids encoding a protein of deduced molecular weight 79 kD, was indentified to encode a membrane bound, ion-motive ATPase of M. bovis BCG. The approach described here can be used to identify immunogens of mycobacteria. The well-characterized M. bovis BCG antigens can be used in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of tuberculosis. The 79 kD antigen is also useful in the design of recombinant vaccines against different pathogens. The sequence of the 79 kD membrane-associated polypeptides also are useful for the development of specific PCR amplification based diagnostic procedures for the detection of mycobacteria. The promoter of the 79 kD antigen is useful for expressing homologous and/or heterologous antigens in mycobacteria.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods and corresponding apparatuses utilized in the production of ophthalmic lenses, and more specifically for the separation of the corresponding mold halves between which contact lenses are produced. The method to which the several variations of this invention are directed includes: (1) loosening one of the mold halves relative to the contact lens by applying a thermal gradient across the mold and lens, thereby weakening the adhesion therebetween; and (2) subsequent to the loosening step, separating the corresponding mold halves by prying or lifting them apart. There are herein disclosed several embodiments of the invention which achieve these steps in various ways. With respect to the step of loosening the molds relative to the contact lenses by applying a thermal gradient thereacross, there are described devices for directing infra-red energy, steam, or coherent light energy onto the mold half. With respect to the step of separating the mold halves, subsequent to the application of the thermal gradient, there are described devices for prying, rotating and lifting, or purely lifting the loosened mold half away from the other mold half and the contact lens therein. Each of the separating devices include component elements which hold stationary one of the two mold halves as the other is removed.
