Patent CA-2568829-A1 (CA)
Inventor: WEINGARTEN LUDWIG
IPC: B21B13/14
Filed: 2005-09-09
Abstract: The invention relates to a Sexto-type roll stand with x3 grinding, in which a large difference in diameter between the intermediate rolls (20, 21) causes increased wear and rough surfaces on the support rolls (31, 31) during operation, the damage pattern on the support rolls (30, 31) corresponding to the shape of the CVC grinding following an extended operating time. In Quarto-type roll stands, the grinding amplitude is initially also significantly greater than is required for rolled programs, thus resulting in the unfavorable wear pattern as well on the support rolls. The aim of the invention is to minimize said flaws. Said aim is achieved by the fact that the surface length (L) of each intermediate roll (20, 21) in a Sexto-type roll stand or each working roll in a Quarto-type roll stand is composed of a cylindrical section (Z) and a convexly curved section (R(x)). The transition point (A) from the cylindrical to the curved section of the surface length of the rolls can be selected within the range L/2 < = x < L while the curved contour which extends in opposite directions across some of the width of the rolled material in the direction of the end of the roll barrel on both rolls (20, 21) is described by a mathematical polynomial R(x) = a0 + ... anxn, wherein n = 5.

Title: Pulmonary delivery of a nerve agent neutralizing enzyme
Inventor: TURNER JEFFREY DONALD
IPC: A61P25/00
Filed: 2005-08-18
Abstract: The present invention provides for non-invasive treatment of nerve agent poisoning by administering nerve agent neutralizing enzymes to the pulmonary epithelium of a subject, by inhalation, where they accumulate within the lungs. Localization of such enzymes in the pulmonary epithelium results in neutralization of the nerve agents at the lungs. As a result, nerve agents move by diffusion out of the blood through the pulmonary capillaries, duc to the organophosphorus nerve agents rapid diffusion across the cell membranes of the body via diffusion, down their concentration gradients. The present invention presents a practical method of administering nerve agent neutralizing enzymes, without requiring passage into the blood plasma, and without requiring blood plasma activity of the enzyme.

Inventor: XIONG FEI
IPC: C12N1/21
Filed: 2005-09-23
Abstract: The present invention concerns molecules and a process in which one or more biologically active peptides are incorporated into an Fc domain. In this invention, pharmacologically active compounds may be prepared by a process comprising (a) selecting at least one peptide that modulates the activity of a protein of interest; and (b) preparing a pharmacologic agent comprising an amino acid sequence of the selected peptide in a loop region of an Fc domain.  This process may be employed to modify an Fc domain that is already linked through an N- or C-terminus or sidechain to a peptide or to a polypeptide (e.g., etanercept). This process may also be employed to modify an Fc domain that is part of an antibody (e.g., adalimumab, epratuzumab, infliximab, Herceptin~, and the like). In this way, different molecules can be produced that have additional functionalities, such as a binding domain to a different epitope or an additional binding domain to the precursor molecule's existing epitope. The peptide can be selected, for example, by phage display, E. coli display, ribosome display, RNA-peptide screening, yeast-based screening, chemical-peptide screening, rational design, or protein structural analysis.
