Title: Modification of a hydrogenation catalyst
Inventor: ROESSLER FELIX
IPC: B01J37/16
Filed: 2000-12-12
Abstract: A process for the modification of a hydrogenation catalyst of the Raney nickel, Raney cobalt, nickel-on-carrier or cobalt-on-carrier type comprises treating the hydrogenation catalyst at temperatures of about 0°C to about 120°C with carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, formaldehyde, a lower aliphatic aldehyde, an aromatic aldehyde, an aliphatic ketone, an aromatic ketone, a mixed aliphatic/aromatic ketone, glyoxal, pyruvaldehyde or glyoxylic acid as the modification agent in a liquid dispersion medium consisting of water or an organic solvent for a duration of about 15 minutes to about 24 hours. As a consequence of the process, when the thus-modified catalyst is used in the hydrogenation of a nitrite to the corresponding amine the selectivity is increased, whereby the increased selectivity favours significantly the amount of the primary amine vis-à-vis the undesired secondary amine in the hydrogenation product compared with the case when the corresponding unmodified catalyst is employed. The present invention concerns in a second aspect the process for the hydrogenation of a nitrite to the corresponding primary amine using a thus-modified catalyst.
Patent CA-2329436-A1 (CA)
Inventor: HALAS NANCY J
IPC: B22F1/054
Filed: 1999-03-10
Abstract: The present invention is for particulate compositions and methods for producing them that can absorb or scatter electromagnetic radiation. The particles are homogeneous in size and are comprised of a nonconducting inner layer that is surrounded by an electrically conducting material. The ratio of the thickness of the nonconducting layer to the thickness of the outer conducting shell is determinative of the wavelength of maximum absorbance or scattering of the particle. Unique solution phase methods for synthesizing the particles involve linking clusters of the conducting atoms, ions, or molecules to the nonconducting inner layer by linear molecules. This step can be followed by growth of the metal onto the clusters to form a coherent conducting shell that encapsulates the core.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of a peptide composition as an immunogen, with each peptide contained therein comprising a target antigenic site derived from the VP1 capsid protein of Foot-and-Mouth Disease Virus (FMDV). The antigenic site is covalently linked to a helper T cell epitope and, preferably, to other immunostimulatory sequences, preferably by conventional peptide bond(s) through direct synthesis, for the prevention of FMDV infection and eradication of Food-and-Mouth Disease (FMD). More particularly, the present invention relates to the use of such peptide composition as an immunogen to elicit the production in animals including swine, cattle, sheep, goets and susceptible wild species, of high titer polyclonal antibodies that can effectively neutralize, in vitro, multiple strains or serotypes of FMDV, and to the use of such composition as a vaccine to prevent, and/or reduce the incidence of, FMDV infection regardless of serotype, and thus affect the eradication of FMD. The present invention also relates to the peptides used in the compositions, and to immunoassays and/or diagnostic kits containing one or more of these peptides, and methods of diagnosing FMDV in mammals using such materials.

Title: Apparatus and method for continuous vacuum forming shaped polymeric articles
Inventor: GILBERT THOMAS
IPC: B29C48/00
Filed: 1999-11-12
Abstract: This invention relates to methods and apparatus for manufacturing shaped polymeric articles by substantially continuous vacuum forming. The method includes providing a sheet (l0) of hot polymeric material which is disposed onto a rotating belt (18) having a mold impression (11). Vacuum pressure is applied to the polymeric material through the belt (18) so as to draw the hot polymeric material into intimate contact with the mold impression (11) to form a patterned sheet portion and a remaining sheet portion. This method thereafter cools at least the patterned sheet portion below a heat deflection temperature of the polymeric material, forms the remaining sheet portion, and then cools the remaining sheet portion below the heat deflection temperature so that features other than the central pattern, such as nail and butt edges, can be mechanically worked into the polymeric sheet (10).
