Title: Pin tumbler lock - variable pin settings and interchangeable key
Inventor: MATTOSSOVICH M
IPC: E05B27/00
Filed: 1986-11-18
Abstract: The cylinder lock has a row of spring loaded sliders (21). Each slider (21) has teeth which engage the teeth of a second parallel slider (17). When the first slider (21) is depressed by inserting the key, the second slider is moved until a notch in its upper part is aligned with the projection of the bolt (25). The bolt (25) which is spring-loaded, slides radially inwards out of the notch (3) in the wall (2) of the housing to release the cylinder (8). The lock can be readily changed to suit a second key by rotating the cylinder (8) through 180 deg. with the first key. This has the effect of separating the two sliders (21,17). The second key is then inserted and the cylinder (8) turned through a further 180 deg.

IPC: A61K31/27
Filed: 1989-09-12
Abstract: Various types of biological treatments, including antineoplastic treatments with antineoplastic drugs, can result in damage to the blood-forming function of the bone marrow. This damage can be reversed, at least to some degree, with an effective amount (preferably an extremely low dose) of a pharmaceutically acceptable dithiocarbamic compound, including a compound of the formula R1R2NCSSM or R1R2NCSS-SCSNR3R4, wherein R1, R2, R3, and R4 are the same or different aliphatic or cycloaliphatic or heterocycloaliphatic groups, unsubstituted or substituted by hydroxyl, or one of R1 and R2 and one of R3 and R4 can be H, or R1 and R2 or R3 and R4, taken together with the N atom upon which the pair of R groups is substituted, can be a 5- or 6-member N-heterocyclic ring which is aliphatic or aliphatic interrupted by a ring oxygen or second ring nitrogen, and M is H or one equivalent of a pharmaceutically acceptable cation, in which case the rest of the molecule is negatively charged. The dosage in mammals can range from about 0.001 to 30 mg/kg of body weight. For larger mammals, including humans, a typical dosage unit is less than 10 mg/kg, e.g. <3 mg/kg. The dosage unit can be dissolved in a suitable pharmaceutically acceptable carrier (e.g. an aqueous medium) and is then preferably administered intravenously within 8 hours of the administration of the agent which can cause bone marrow damage. The extremely low dosages particularly preferred in this invention do not cause any significant side effects.

Title: The use of epidermal growth factor as a gastrointestinal therapeutic
Inventor: BURET ANDRE G
IPC: A23K1/16
Filed: 1996-05-09
Abstract: New utilities for epidermal growth factor (EGF) as a gastrointestinal therapeutic agent are described. In particular, EGF is useful in preventing gastrointestinal colonization by pathogens and in promoting weight gain. As such EGF can be used to treat intestinal infections and increase animal production for example in the agriculture or aquaculture industry. EGF is also useful in increasing the intestinal absorption of immunoglobulins. Inhibition of the epidermal growth factor signaling cascade may be used to prevent uptake of toxic or adverse compounds or to promote weight loss. Therefore, the use of an agent that inhibits the activity of epidermal growth factor to decrease the absorption of substance or decrease weight gain is also described.
