Title: Injecting lpg into containers
Inventor: ROULLET ALAIN
IPC: G05D7/06
Filed: 1983-09-07
Granted: 1987-08-27
Abstract: Containers 6, adapted to receive a product which does not of itself give off a gas, receive an amount of a liquefied pressurizing gas from a tank 1 provided with an outlet nozzle 3. The containers 6 are aligned on a machine 7 which conveys them, in the direction of the alignment, under the tank 1 which is provided with trunnions 2 and is oriented in such manner as to be pivotable about an axis parallel to the direction of alignment. A control device 8 regulates the angular position of the tank 1. The amount of the liquefied pressurizing gas received in each container depends on the angular position of the tank relative to the vertical position. Thus, in the case of containers having a round section, the amount of liquefied gas received in a container is maximum when the nozzle is on the line of alignment of the containers and passes along a diameter of the container section and smaller when the tank has been pivoted away from its vertical position and the nozzle passes along a chord of the round container section. The invention is particularly applicable to the pressurizing of cylindrical cans adapted to contain non-gaseous drinks.

A second section comprising a series of structures like structure which are connected so that each one drains its water into a following one, while each structure of the type of structure contains a layer of inert material into which grow suitable plants which utilize for their growth contents within the incoming waters so that such contents are removed from the flowing waters. The total area of the series of structures like structure is determined from the desired degree of purity of the outgoing waters, for a particular quality of incoming water.

Title: Metastasis models using green fluorescent protein (GFP) as a marker
Inventor: TAN YUYING
IPC: G01N33/58
Filed: 2000-01-07
Granted: 2005-11-03
Abstract: A method to follow the progression of metastasis of a primary tumor, which method comprises removing fresh organ tissues from a vertebrate subject which has been modified to contain tumor cells that express GFP and observing the excised tissues for the presence of fluorescence is disclosed. The fluorescence can also be monitored by observing the tissues in situ. Vertebrate subjects which contain GFP producing tumors are useful models to study the mechanism of metastasis, as well as to evaluate candidate protocols and drugs. In addition, subjects already harboring tumors can be treated so as to modify the endogenous tumors to contain GFP. This permits clinical applications. Finally, by injecting a contrast dye into a subject harboring a GFP-labeled tumor, angiogenesis in the tumor can be observed directly.

Title: Methods for producing coating powders catalysts and drier water-borne coatings by spraying compositions with compressed fluids
Inventor: NIELSEN KENNETH ANDREW
IPC: B01D1/18
Filed: 1995-11-13
Granted: 1998-06-18
Abstract: This invention relates to methods for spraying liquid compositions containing volatile solvent by using compressed fluids, such as carbon dioxide or ethane, to form solid particulates, coating powders, and catalyst materials, which can be produced with narrow particle size distributions and can be sprayed at higher solids levels, in ambient air or with heated air applied to just the spray instead of a spray chamber.

Title: Stent adapted for tangle-free deployment
Inventor: FEARNOT NEAL E
IPC: A61F2/06
Filed: 2000-07-17
Granted: 2003-03-06
Abstract: An expandable stent prosthesis is disclosed in which the apices of the bends located at at least one end of the stent are individually twisted at an angle to the circumference of the stent to form a fan blade-like arrangement when viewed from that end. The fan blade-like arrangement allows the stent to expand from the compressed condition during deployment such that likelihood of a strut or bend of the stent become entangled with a barb or adjacent strut or bend, is reduced. In one embodiment of the invention, the fan blade-like arrangement results from plastically deforming the individual apices, while in another embodiment, the apices are twisted into the fan blade-like arrangement during the loading process, such as by use of a suture thread to pull the apices into alignment.

Title: Ligands for use in therapeutic compositions for the treatment of hemostasis disorders
Inventor: JACQUEMIN MARC G
IPC: C12N15/09
Filed: 2000-07-13
Granted: 2005-06-02
Abstract: The present invention comprises ligands and methods of manufacture thereof as well as pharmaceutical preparations including the ligands. The ligands may be human or humanized monoclonal antibodies and fragments, derivatives and homologs thereof. These may exhibit an unforeseen "plateau effect", i.e. the achievement of only a partial inactivation of a factor involved in hemostasis, in particular in the coagulation cascade, either individually or in combination even in molar excess. The ligands may bind to a factor or a complex of factors resulting in only partially impairing the function of a physiologically functional site of the said factor or factor complex even in molar excess. This makes the ligands particularly suitable for treating coagulation disorders and resulting thrombotic pathologic conditions while minimizing the risk of bleeding. Particularly useful is a property of ligands in accordance with the present invention to allow some physiological function of the affected site even when the ligand is in molar excess. The ligands may be anti-factor VIII antibodies or antibodies against a factor VIII complex, in particular human or human hybrid monoclonal antibodies which bind to factor VIII or a factor VIII complex and at least partially inhibit the activity of factor VIII.
