Title: Identification of unique binding interactions between certain antibodies and the human b7.1 and b7.2co-stimulatory antigens.
Inventor: ANDERSON DARRELL R
IPC: A61P19/02
Filed: 2000-08-09
Abstract: The present invention relates to the identification of antibodies which are specific to human B7.1 antigen (CD80) and which are capable of inhibiting the binding of B7.1 to a CD28 receptor and which are not capable of inhibiting the binding of B7.1 to a CTLA-4 receptor. Two of these antibodies, 16C10 and 7C10, significantly inhibit the production of IL-2, in spite of the existence of a second activating ligand B7.2 (CD86). Blocking of the primary activation signal between CD28 and B7.1 (CD80) with these antibodies while allowing the unimpaired or coincident interaction of CTLA-4 and B7.1 and/or B7.2 represents a combined antagonistic effect on positive co-stimulation with an agonistic effect on negative signalling. These antibodies may be used as specific immunosuppressants, e.g., for the treatment of autoimmune diseases and to prevent organ transplant rejection.

Title: Detectionion of mutations in genes by specific lna primers
Inventor: JAN SKOUV
IPC: G01N33/566
Filed: 2002-10-28
Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of detecting variant nucleic acid whose nucleotide sequence differs from one another at a single (or more) position(s). The method uses a set of chimeric oligonucleotides containing DNA monomers and monomers of a novel class of DNA analogues, locked nucleic acid (LNA). LNA oligomers obey the Watson-Crick base-pairing rules and form duplexes that are significantly more stable than similar duplexes formed by DNA. The "allele-specific" LNA-containing oligonucleotides wherein the LNA nucleotide(s) are found at the 3' position can be extended by means of enzymes only where the nucleotide(s), which is/are terminal in direction of extension, is/are complementary to the corresponding nucleotides of the nucleic acid (of the one allele) to be detected. Thus discrimination between alleles without subsequent differential hybridization with labelled oligonucleotides is possible. The invention further relates to reagents for performing the methods as well as applications of the method.

IPC: A63H/
Filed: 2009-09-18
Abstract: A toy (1 & 1A) is equipped with an exterior structure, constructed in such a way that it transforms from a rollable first shape to a second shape, and an interior structure contained with the interior of this exterior structure. The said exterior structure is endowed with a transformation means (30, 31, 32) that transforms an exterior locking portion (5c, 7c & 5Aa) and the exterior structure from the first shape to the second shape. The interior structure is endowed with a magnetic body (11 & 9a) that moves by means of a magnetic force that acts from the exterior of the said toy, an interior locking portion (10c & 10Ac) that moves simultaneously with the movement of this magnetic body (11 & 9a), and a biasing means (12 & 11A) that effects a force which moves or turns this interior locking portion (10c & 10Ac) in a particular direction. In the event that a magnetic force does not act from the exterior of the said toy, a locked state of the interior locking portion (10c & 10Ac) which moved or turned in a particular direction by means of the force of the biasing means (12 & 11A), and the said exterior locking portion (5c, 7c & 5Aa) is realized, and the first shape of the exterior structure is thereby maintained. In the event that a magnetic force has acted from the exterior of the said toy, the said magnetic body (11 & 9a) and the said interior locking portion (10c & 10Ac) resist the force of the said biasing means (12 & 11A) and move or turn, the locked state of the said interior locking portion (10c & 10Ac) and the said exterior locking portion (5c, 7c & 5Aa) is thereby released, and the exterior structure thereby transforms from the first shape to the second shape by means of the transformation means.

Patent HK-1150066-A1 (HK)
Title: Shock absorbing fabric structures
Inventor: RUSSELL TIMOTHY M
IPC: D03D15/567
Filed: 2011-04-18
Abstract: Fabric structures having two connection segments and an expansion segment between the two connection segments are provided. The fabric structure includes ground yarns that form a sheath, elongation yarns surrounded by the sheath, and lateral yarns. In the expansion segment, at least some of the lateral yarns are interwoven with the elongation yarns to connect the elongation yarns laterally with the sheath. Heat treatment of the expansion segment shrinks the length of the elongation yarns during manufacture. The sheath does not substantially shrink from the heat treatment relative to the elongation yarns and gathers together in an accordion-like arrangement. A tensile load applied to the fabric structure stretches the elongation yarns and unfolds the gathered sheath. The high strength sheath supports the tensile load when completely unfolded, while the elongation yarns absorbs energy as the fabric structure stretches or elongates.

Title: Child-resistant package having preloaded locking mechanism
Inventor: HAMILTON PETER WORTHINGTON
IPC: B65D41/04
Filed: 1998-06-15
Abstract: A package for storing and dispensing potentially dangerous materials, such as medicament tablets or the like, said package being resistant to opening by children but readily openable by adults, particularly adults having impaired manual dexterity of their hands and/or fingers. In a particularly preferred embodiment, the package comprises a bottle (12), a collar (32) which is secured in place over the uppermost portion of the bottle (12) and a closure (52) which is secured to the finish portion of the bottle by means of complementary screw threads. The collar (32) preferably includes a pair of resiliently deformable spring-like pushtabs (34) containing vertical extensions (36) which engage interlocking teeth (62) on the innermost surface of the closure skirt (60) when the closure (52) is fully assembled onto the bottle (12). To remove the closure (52), the opposed pushtabs (34) must be manually depressed prior to applying unscrewing torque to the closure (52) to disengage the pushtab extensions (36) from the interlocking teeth (62) on the closure (52). In a particularly preferred embodiment, the spring-like pushtabs (34) are generally outwardly directed prior to application of the closure to the package. Advancing the closure (52) onto the package until the teeth (62) on the innermost surface of the closure's skirt (60) interlock with the vertical extensions (36) of the spring-like pushtabs (34) causes a degree of resilient deformation of the spring-like pushtabs (34) so that the vertical extensions (36) of the pushtabs (34) are in contact with and exert a preloading force against the corresponding innermost surfaces of the closure skirt once the closure has been securely applied to the package. Quite unexpectedly, it has been learned that preloading the vertical extensions of the reiliently deformable spring-like pushtabs against the corresponding innermost surfaces of the closure skirt in the foregoing manner considerably enhances the child resistance of the package without increasing the difficulty of opening for older adults or those having impaired manual dexterity. Methods for producing the improved package are also disclosed.
