Abstract: A method of preparing a transgenic animal model with enhanced, accelerated pathology for Alzheimer's Disease (AD) and the transgenic animal made by the method is disclosed. The method includes producing an F1 generation by crossing a first and second transgenic parent each carrying a different expressible transgene for differing aspects of the same desired phenotype associated with AD pathology. The offspring of the F1 generation are then screened and those which carry a transgene from each parental transgenic animal resulting in an enhanced pathology for Alzheimer's Disease are selected. In a preferred embodiment the AD-associated pathology is for amyloid accumulation. In an embodiment a mutant presenilin transgene and a transgene for a mutant amyloid precursor protein are used. In a further embodiment the mutant presenilin transgene is the PS1 M146L mutation and the mutant amyloid precursor protein transgene is the Swedish mutation (APP695 isoform containing a K670N,M671L mutation (APP770 numbering)).

Abstract: An invertable filter centrifuge for separating liquid-solids mixtures comprises a rotatingly driven centrifugal drum, an invertable filter cloth arranged on the centrifugal drum, a filtrate housing for receiving and discharging the liquid filtrate separated from the liquid-solids mixture by means of centrifugation with a filter cloth turned inwards into the centrifugal drum, a solids housing for receiving and discharging the solids (filter cake) separated from the liquid-solids mixture during further rotation of the centrifugal drum with a filter cloth turned outwards and an annular gap surrounding the edge of the centrifugal drum in the region of the filtrate housing and the solids housing. Protection means are provided on the invertable filter centrifuge, with the aid of which a flow of a gaseous blocking medium can be generated in the annular gap surrounding the edge of the drum, this flow preventing any undesired transfer of gaseous, liquid and/or solid substances between filtrate housing and solids housing.

Abstract: A transition metal carbide-Group VIII metal powder comprising discrete particles of a transition metal carbide and Group VIII metal wherein: substantially all of the particles have a size of at most 0.4 micrometer; the transition metal carbide is selected from carbides of the group consisting of tungsten, titanium, tantalum, molybdenum, zirconium, hafnium, vanadium, niobium, chromium, mixtures and solid solutions thereof; and the Group VIII metal is selected from the group consisting of iron, cobalt, nickel, mixtures and solid solutions thereof. Said powders are produced by heating an admixture comprising a finishing source of carbon (e.g., acetylene black), a source of a group VIII metal (e.g., Co3O4), and a particulate precursor to a temperature of about 1173 K to about 1773 K for a time sufficient to form a transition metal carbide-Group VIII metal powder, wherein at least about 25% by weight of the carbide precursor is carburized in forming the transition metal carbide of the transition metal carbide-Group VIII metal powder. The particulate precursor generally contains less than 2.5% oxygen by weight and contains compounds which undergo carburization such as a transition metal (e.g., W), lower valence transition metal carbide (W2C) to form the transition metal carbide (e.g., WC)-Group VIII metal powder.

Abstract: In a mobile communications system (BSS, SGSN, GGSN) having a packet data transmission capability, a dynamic packet-based quality of service (QoS) mechanism is provided within a "transmission tunnel" defined by a more static packet data protocol context (PDP context). More particularly, each data packet is arranged to carry at least one QoS parameter, and the scheduling and the policing of the transmission of the data packets is made in packet by packet basis according to this QoS information in the packets, while, however, within the limits set by the PDP context. This concept enables to have any number of QoS profiles in use simultaneously, e.g. a dedicated QoS profile for each of several Internet user applications run in the mobile station (MS) for a IP address. Therefore, the present invention provides support for various Internet applications and their QoS requirements. Moreover, the QoS can be changed at any time after activation of the PDP context, since only the QoS information in the relevant data packets has to be changed.
