Title: Method and device for turning strips
Inventor: RICHERT WITHOLD
IPC: B65H27/00
Filed: 2002-05-31
Granted: 2007-11-22
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for turning and reorienting the displacement direction of strips ( 1 ), especially of a thin hot strip. The strip can be turned about any angle by means of at least one deflection roller, with roller banks ( 5 ) which are arranged on the circumference of the deflection roller, and which respectively comprise a plurality of individual rollers. Plastic and elastic deformations are avoided due to the fact that the strip is supported at various points by the individual rollers of successive roller banks ( 5 ). The invention also relates to a device for carrying out the method. Said device enables the roller banks placed one after the other in the strip deflection direction to be staggered in relation to each other in such a way that the contact surfaces of their rollers with the strip are staggered from bank to bank, by one roller width ( 11,12 ).

Title: Treatment of melanoma by reduction in clusterin levels
Inventor: GLEAVE MARTIN E
IPC: A61K38/00
Filed: 2003-08-21
Granted: 2008-02-14
Abstract: Treatment of melanoma is achieved through reduction in the effective amount of clusterin in melanoma cells of in a mammalian subject, preferably a human. A therapeutic agent effective to reduce the effective amount of clusterin in the melanoma cells is administered to the subject. The therapeutic agent may be, for example, an antisense ODN or small inhibitory RNA (siRNA) compound targeted to clusterin. bcl-xL in a subject or cell line can also be regulated by administering to the subject or cell line an agent effective to modulate the amount of clusterin expression. In particular, in clusterin expressing cells, the expression of bcl-xL is down-regulated when the effective amount of clusterin is reduced. Such inhibition is significant because bcl-xL is known to act as an inhibitor of apoptosis.

Title: An improved process for preparation of magnesium oxide
Inventor: HAJIBHAI DERAIYA HASINA
IPC: C01F5/08
Filed: 2006-03-22
Granted: 2011-10-27
Abstract: The present invention provides an improved process for the preparation of MgO from the reaction of magnesium salt and alkali/lime . The crude Mg(OH)2 is directly calcined and then treated with water to disintegrate the mass spontaneously to yield a slurry and dissolve away the soluble salts. This slurry is much easier to filter and wash than the original Mg(OH)2 slurry, which helps to speed up the purification operation and also conserve fresh water. Another important advantage of the present method is that even pasty or dough like reaction products that are processed using dough mixers and similar equipment can be worked up with ease. There is no compromise in the quality of MgO achieved in this manner.
