Patent AU-4152600-A (AU)
Title: Composition and method for modulating dendritic cell-t cell interaction
Inventor: FIGDOR CARL GUSTAV
IPC: A61K39/00
Filed: 2000-04-19
Abstract: Use of a compound (I) that binds to a C-type lectin (II) on the surface of a dendritic cell (DC) for producing a composition for modulating (especially reducing) the immune response in an animal (particularly human or other mammal), provided that (II) is not the DEC-205 receptor. Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) an antibody (Ab), preferably monoclonal, directed against a C-type lectin (IIa) having a fully defined sequence of about 400 amino acids (given in the specification) or its natural variants, equivalents, parts, fragments or epitopes; (2) a pharmaceutical composition containing Ab and at least one carrier, excipient, adjuvant or auxiliary; (3) a combination of (I) attached to an antigen (Ag) or its fragment; (4) a method for producing, isolating and/or purifying DC from a biological sample or culture medium; and (5) DC prepared by method in (4). ACTIVITY : Immunosuppressant; immunostimulant; anti-allergic; antiviral; antitumor; antibacterial; antiprotozoal. MECHANISM OF ACTION : (I) mediates adhesion between DC and other cells by inhibiting interaction between (II) and (i) an ICAM (intracellular adhesion molecule) on T cells or (ii) gp 120 on HIV (human immune deficiency virus)-infected cells. A new (II), DC-SIGN, is not only involved in DC-T cell clumping but is also a major HIV receptor. Cells of the leukemia line K562 were transfected to express ICAM-3 and tested for binding to DC. Clumping between the cells was inhibited by antibodies directed against DC-SIGN, and DC-mediated T cell proliferation was then only about 1/3 of that in an antibody-free medium. The effect was greatly increased when anti-LFA3 antibodies were additionally present (practically no proliferation).

Title: Vacuum-assisted device for mounting an optical moisture sensor on glass
Inventor: TEDER REIN S
IPC: B29C65/02
Filed: 1996-01-11
Abstract: A device to facilitate the mounting of an optical sensor on a windshield glass using a clear adhesive tape is disclosed. The device holds the sensor, with tape exposed, in a vacuum chamber which is sealed against the glass. The chamber is evacuated, and the sensor is then pressed against the glass by the longitudinal movement of a drive shaft. The sensor may be installed with consistent force and with no trapped air pockets or air bubbles. Air pockets are a special concern because air pockets adversely effect the optical performance of the sensor. The vacuum chamber device may be controlled by a computer, and features a latching mechanism which prevents the sensor from making contact with the glass until the chamber is evacuated.

Title: Tapered bone screw with continuously varying pitch
Inventor: HUEBNER RANDALL J
IPC: F16B25/00
Filed: 1994-01-19
Abstract: A bone screw having a continuously varying pitch includes a tapered root portion having a relatively small diameter on a leading end of the screw and a larger trailing diameter. The pitch of the screw decreases between the leading and trailing ends thus causing the bone fragments in a fracture to be drawn together when the screw is installed across the fragments. The radially outer diameter of the threads increases between the leading and trailing ends thus causing each successive thread portion to cut into bone radially outwardly from the preceding thread portion thereby providing uncut bone in which the succeeding threads can gain purchase.

Title: Process for the formation of polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes
Inventor: LICHTENHAN JOSEPH D
IPC: C08G77/38
Filed: 2000-08-03
Abstract: Three processes for the manufacture of polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes (POSS) which utilize the action of bases that are capable of either attacking silicon or any compound that can react with a protic solvent (e.g. ROH, H2O etc.) and generate hydroxide [OH]<->; alkoxide [RO]<->, etc. The first process utilizes such bases to effectively redistribute the silicon-oxygen frameworks in polymeric silsesquioxanes [RSiO1.5] INFINITY  where  INFINITY =1-1,000,000 or higher into POSS nanostructures of formulas [(RSiO1.5)n] SIGMA #, homoleptic, [(RXSiO1.5)n] SIGMA #, functionalized homoleptic, [(RSiO1.5)m(R'SiO1.5)n] SIGMA #, heteroleptic, and {(RSiO1.5)m(RXSiO1.0)n} SIGMA #, functionalized heteroleptic nanostructures. The second process utilizes base to aid in the formation of POSS nanostructures of formulas [(RSiO1.5)n] SIGMA #, homoleptic and [(RSiO1.5)m(R'SiO1.5)n] SIGMA #, heteroleptic and [(RSiO1.5)m(RXSiO1.0)n] SIGMA #, functionalized heteroleptic nanostructures from silanes RSiX3 and linear or cyclic silsesquioxanes of the formula RX2Si-(OSiRX)m-OSiRX2 where m=0-10, X=OH, Cl, Br, I, alkoxide OR, acetate OOCR, peroxide OOR, amine NR2, isocyanate NCO, and R. The third process utilizes base to selectively ring-open the silicon-oxygen-silicon (Si-O-Si) bonds in POSS structures to form POSS species with incompletely condensed nanostructures. These proceses also afford stereochemical control over X. The three processes result in new POSS species that can undergo additional chemical manipulations to ultimately be converted into POSS-species suitable for polymerization, grafting, or other desirable chemical reactions.
