Patent EP-0629240-B1 (EP)
Inventor: WINTER GREGORY PAUL
IPC: C07K19/00

Abstract: The present invention relates to altered antibodies which are substantially immuno silent by virtue of their containing selected germ-line amino acid residues which replace one or more corresponding somatically mutated residues in a native antibody. In a process for making a gene for use in preparing such an antibody, one or more somatically mutated amino acid residues in a native antibody are identified as suitable candidate(s) for alteration. A nucleotide coding sequence is made which codes for selected germ-line amino acid residues to replace the one or more somatically mutated amino acid residues. The altered antibody can have variable (V) regions which comprise complementarity determining regions (CDRs) which provide the antibody with capacity to bind a specific antigen; and a selected and predominantly germ-line framework. In processes for making a gene for use in the preparation of such an antibody, there are the steps of (i) obtaining CDR encoding nucleotide sequences which encode CDRs with specificity for the specific antigen and (ii) combining these CDR encoding nucleotide sequences with framework encoding nucleotide sequences which encode the selected germ-line framework.

Abstract: Cuvette d'analyse en matière plastique (506) présentant des propriétés optiques souhaitées pour l'analyse d'un échantillon ou du mélange de réaction en résultant, et procédé de réalisation de ladite cuvette (506). Les propriétés optiques de cette cuvette d'analyse (506) sont essentiellement les mêmes que les propriétés optiques du verre, offrant une faible biréfringence dans toute sa région de lecture optique (516). Lorsqu'elle est utilisée pour l'analyse d'un échantillon ou d'un mélange de réaction en résultant, comme dans le cadre des mesures de polarisation de fluorescence et d'absorbance, cette cuvette en matière plastique (506) présente toutes les caractéristiques de précision et de constance rencontrées dans les cuvettes d'analyse classiques, en verre.

Abstract: The method uses a support (1) incorporating a pipe clamp (2) at one end and an electrically heated swaging die at the other. The liner pipe, external diameter larger than the bore of the pipe to be lined, is made of plastics or other suitable material and drawn at ambient temperature through the swaging die and threaded through the pipe to be lined. The diameter of the liner pipe is reduced to and/or maintained at less than the inner diameter of the pipe to be lined by the tension applied by the drawing force.The drawing restrains the radial expansion of the outer surface of the liner pipe as it emerges from the swaging die.

Abstract: The invention proposes a supporting structure for the roofing and/or exterior cladding of buildings, having a support arrangement fastened on the building and supporting and fastening elements which are fitted on the support arrangement, such that they jut out therefrom, and are intended for connection, load transfer and fixing of preferably metal, profiled cladding webs with overlapping profiles on both sides. The supporting structure comprises a support arrangement which is produced from profiled material, is fastened, via a fastening flange, on the building surface to be covered, and on which there is formed a supporting rail (26) with longitudinal strips (26a, 26b), integrally formed on both sides, for receiving a number of slide webs, from which retaining clips (10) jut out perpendicularly. Integrally formed at the free end of the retaining clips is in each case one supporting profile (40), the lateral overlapping profiles of adjacent cladding webs engaging over or around said supporting profile preferably in a resilient manner, this resulting in a reliable connection which can be subjected to loading and is sealed with respect to the penetration of moisture. The combination of different embodiments of support arrangements with different embodiments of slide webs gives rise to possibilities of varying application in accordance with defined specifications. In this arrangement, production and mounting are simple and cost-effective. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Plaquettes en matériau de friction destinées à être utilisées dans un système de frein présentant un rotor composite à matrice d'aluminium-métal, dans lequel l'application du frein peut créer des températures de fonctionnement approchant 450 °C. La formulation de la composition des plaquettes de frein est génériquement une formule organique de base sans amiante modifiée pour présenter une teneur élevée en matériau abrasif, une enveloppe de lubrifiant solide et une poudre de cuivre poreuse. La poudre de cuivre poreuse constituant 2 à 18 % en poids des plaquettes de frein présente un diamètre nominal de 0,20 mm. La poudre de cuivre poreuse répond proportionnellement à une température et à des forces mécaniques générées pendant l'application du frein par une déformation et un étalement afin d'aider à la formation d'une glaçure entre les surfaces de contact des plaquettes de frein et le rotor composite à matrice d'aluminium-métal. Cette glaçure empêche le marquage du rotor à base d'aluminium tout en maintenant en même temps un coefficient relativement stable de friction d'approximativement 0,4 pendant des applications du frein sur une large plage de vitesses et de vitesses de décélération.
