Title: Sacrificial anode with consumption indicator and iron core for water tanks and water heaters
Inventor: HOSSLE LUDWIG
IPC: F24H9/20
Filed: 1989-07-24
Abstract: Sacrificial anode with consumption indicator and iron core for water tanks and water heaters, whereby, after the anode has been consumed in a socket-shaped fastening means mounted on a tank wall, a consumption indicator in the form of a piston-like signalling pin is driven out partly from the tank contour by incoming water. To this end, a colour change cartridge (12, 13) of transparent material arranged on the tank (8) is filled with a chemical which changes to a red signalling colour on penetration of water. In the anode (1), water is supplied to the colour change cartridge by a wick (7) which fills a blind hole (3) and the fastening means (6) while expelling the air contained therein. The iron core (4) of the anode is arranged outside the axis of the anode.

Title: Cold-adapted equine influenza viruses
Inventor: DOWLING PATRICIA W
IPC: A61P31/16
Filed: 2001-03-21
Abstract: The present invention provides experimentally-generated cold-adapted equine influenza viruses, and reassortant influenza A viruses comprising at least one genome segment of such an equine influenza virus, wherein the equine influenza virus genome segment confers at least one identifying phenotype of the cold-adapted equine influenza virus, such as cold-adaptation, temperature sensitivity, dominant interference, or attenuation. Such viruses are formulated into therapeutic compositions to protect animals from diseases caused by influenza A viruses, and in particular, to protect horses from disease caused by equine influenza virus. The present invention also includes methods to protect animals from diseases caused by influenza A virus or other infectious agents utilizing the claimed therapeutic compositions. Such methods include using a therapeutic composition as a vaccine to generate a protective immune response in an animal prior to exposure to an infectious agent, as well as using a therapeutic composition as a treatment for an animal that has been recently infected with an infectious agent leading to respiratory disease, or is likely to be subsequently exposed to such an agent in a few days whereby the therapeutic composition reduces such respiratory disease, even in the absence of antibody-mediated immunity. The present invention also provides methods to produce cold-adapted equine influenza viruses, and reassortant influenza A viruses having at least one genome segment of an equine influenza virus generated by cold-adaptation.

Date Oct. 17, 1996The residues arising from industrial processes and from waste disposal which are polluted with heavy metals and/or heavy metal compounds, are subjected to a two-stage reduction process with formation of re-usable metal-containing and silicon-containing alloys. In a first reduction stage, using carbon or carbon-generating means as the reduction means, the compounds of silicon and metals are reduced, which have a standard potential which is greater than that of silicon. Following separation of the reduced metals, the residue obtained, which contains aluminum in oxidized form, is subsequently converted to a salt melt and this salt melt is subjected to a second reduction stage of a fused salt electrolysis, yielding an aluminum and silicon melt. The process is particularly suitable for filter residues from waste incineration plants.
