Patent EP-0747063-A2 (EP)
Inventor: KANDIL ALI
IPC: A61K47/48
Filed: 1996-06-07
Abstract: Capsular polysaccharides containing multiple sialic acid residues, particularly the Group B polysaccharide of  Neisseria meningitidis , are modified by chemical reaction to randomly introduce pendant reactive residues of heterobifunctional linker molecules to the polysaccharide backbone. The capsular polysaccharide is deacetylated and the heterobifunctional linker molecule is reacted with the deacetylated material and any residual amino groups are blocked by reaction with alkyl acid anhydride. The introduction of the linker molecules to the polysaccharide chain between the termini enables the polysaccharide to be linked to a carrier molecule, such as a protein, to enhance the immunogenicity of the polysaccharide. The conjugate molecule may be formulated as an immunogenic composition for raising antibodies in a host to the polysaccharide.

Abstract: A fuel tank for an automobile has a separator film to separate the inside of a fuel storage container of the fuel storing device into a fuel storage part and a space. The separator film is movable with a surface of liquid fuel in the fuel storage part. A filler pipe is connected to the fuel storage part. The filler pipe has a nozzle seal that seals a gap with respect to a refueling nozzle inserted into the filler pipe. A conduit communicates a part of the filler pipe adjacent to the nozzle seal with an upper part of the fuel storage part. A closure preventing means prevents the separator film from closing an opening of the conduit at the upper part of the fuel storage part. The closure preventing means prevents a negative pressure from being produced around the refueling nozzle before the fuel storage container is fully filled with fuel. When the refueling nozzle has an automatic stopper, the closure preventing means lets the automatic stopper stop the supply of fuel in response to a negative pressure only after the fuel storage container is fully filled with fuel.

Abstract: The system analyses internal combustion engine exhaust gases, using a flame ionisation detector, with diverse sampling, test and operational gas lines. Each gas line includes a section (4, 5, 6) between inlet (7) and outlet (8) nozzles. These sections are joined by individual connecting lines (9, 10, 11) to a control line section (12). This line has a bypass nozzle (14) to atmosphere at one end, with a single pressure controller (13) at the other end. The inlet nozzle (7) is larger than the outlet nozzle (8). Thus a flow is set up through the connecting lines to the controlled air line section (12).

Abstract: The method involves acquiring individual position statements (P1. Pn) with individual quality from several sensors (S1. Sn) e.g. odometer, axle counter, beacon, inertial sensor or radar, during evaluation time periods (tl). The individual position statements are used after equalization with sensor-specific weighing factors for determining respectively an actual object position (OP) at the evaluation time. Object position estimates for the next evaluation time period are undertaken under consideration of object dynamics, based on the sensor-individual position statements. The weighing factors are continuously increased or decreased, based on evaluation of the quality of the object position estimates and the actual position values.

Abstract: An energy relieving, redundant crack stop and the method of
producing the same is disclosed. The redundant pattern allows the crack
propagating energy that is not absorbed by the first ring of
metallization to be absorbed by a second area of metallization and also
provides a greater surface area over which the crack producing energy
may be spread. The redundant crack stop is produced during the
metallization process along with the rest of the wiring of the chip
surface and, therefore, no additional production steps are necessary to
form the structure.
