Patent EP-0986373-A1 (EP)
Inventor: SABEL BERNHARD A
IPC: A61K51/00
Filed: 1997-06-13
Abstract: A composition and method of fabrication are presented with which nanoparticles may be used as a tool to deliver drugs to a specific target within or on a mammalian body. Specifically, by using stabilizers other than Dextran 70.000 during the polymerization process, according to the present invention, surfactants, which were deemed necessary coating material in the prior art, are no longer required. This is a significant simplification of the fabrication procedure. Many substances are useful as stabilizers, but the preferred stabilizers comprise Dextran 12.000 or polysorbate 85. In the present invention a drug is either incorporated into or adsorbed onto the stabilized nanoparticles. This drug/nanoparticle complex is then administered to the organism on any route such as by oral application, injection or inhalation, whereupon the drug exerts its effect at the desired site of pharmacological action. In a novel medical treatment process, the drug/nanoparticle complex may be administered preferably either by intravenous injection or by oral application. The resulting drug action, which does not occur or which occurs only to an insufficient extent when the drug is administered alone, shows that when linked to said nanoparticles drugs can reach a specific target within or on the mammalian body. The usefulness of the present invention as a universal approach to deliver any drug or diagnostic agent to a specific target within or on the mammalian body was demonstrated by experiments showing an unexpected transfer of the drug across the blood brain barrier.

Abstract: An object of the present invention is to improve the precision and reproducibility
of determination and prevent failure of dispensing means due to inclusion of bubbles in
automatic sample analysis systems performing multiple random determinations. 
     A diluent is discharged by a dispensing means into a dilution bath 11 containing a
sample, and a given amount of a diluted sample 12 is sucked from the upper face by the
dispensing means and discarded by discharging it into a waste fluid cup to remove many
small bubbles 13 generated during the preparation of the diluted sample used for
determination. The diluted sample 12 remaining in the dilution bath 11 is used for
determination to improve the precision and reproducibility of determination and to
prevent failure of the dispensing means due to inclusion of bubbles.

Abstract: A filter press has numerous filter plates separated by filter cloth and held vertically in a filter frame. The filter cloths are linked to a tautening device which lifts them from the face of the filter presses as the presses are moved apart, following which a scraper (76, 78) removes the filter cake (42) from the cloth (63). The novelty is that: (a) a counter-surface (92, 94) is applied to the rear face of the cloth (63) as the scraper moves up and down to remove the filter cake, and moves up and down in unison with the scraper.

Inventor: GETMAN IGOR PROF DR
IPC: G01F23/28
Filed: 1998-04-02
Abstract: The method involves using an ultrasonic transducer mounted above the highest permissible level which transmits an ultrasonic pulse to the surface of the fill material during a transmission time interval when stimulated by an AC voltage pulse and receives the reflected echo pulse during a subsequent reception interval and converts it into an electrical signal. The level is derived from the transition time from pulse transmission to echo pulse reception. The decay of the signal after the end of the AC voltage pulse is evaluated to determine whether the transducer is covered by the liquid or not.

Abstract: A dust suction head for use in an electric vacuum cleaner, having an air
suction port at the bottom of the head. The head has a brush chamber
which accommodates therein a freely rotatable brush having blades that
extend along the shaft of the rotational brush. The head additionally has
an opening and an air passage connected with the opening for taking in and
leading fresh air into the vacuum chamber of the cleaner through the brush
chamber such that the fresh air passing through the brush chamber
impinges on the blades to accelerate the rotational motion of the blades.
Thus, the head can obtain a necessary amount of air to rotate the brush at
all times, especially when it is brushing a carpet, and maintain its smooth
motion on the floor while dusting it.

Abstract: A housing (10) has a cavity (18) to which fluid product can be fed, and which opens
into a terminal neck (20) adapted to be inserted over a bag straw. A hollow bolt
(28), having a bore at its tip, is slidable in the housing between a neck-shutting

is axially slidable in the bolt and protrudes with an enlarged head (35) within the
terminal neck through the terminal bore. The needle is biased by a spring (38) to a
position where the enlarged head abuts against the tip of the bolt. A drive cylinder
(44) is provided for moving the bolt and the needle away from the terminal neck, for
connecting the bolt to the internal cavity of the housing, for subsequently bringing
the bolt near the neck in order to break the connection and to push the needle and so
that its enlarged head moves away from the bolt. The portion of the needle adjacent
to its enlarged head is smaller than the bore, so that gas fed to the hollow bolt is
allowed to flow through.

Abstract: The material deposited by the blades is a lead tin alloy solder in the form of billets of several microns diameter. The system deposits a pat of solder (18) on the intended contacts of a printed circuit or hybrid circuit. The screen (17) comprises a thin film of stainless steel 150 or 180 microns thick equipped with raised areas for the intended contacts of the printed circuit. Each scraping blade (8) is fixed to a blade support (6) and deposits a printing product according to a configuration given by a coating support across a screen, which is perforated accordingly. The blade support has a confining cheek at each end, the cheek being made from a supple material, which pushes, with its free edge against the screen. A small space is left between the scraping blades and the screen, which is to permit the material being deposited by the blades, to be moved back towards the center of the screen, when it moves beyond the end of the blade as it passes across the screen.
