Title: Twin screw rotors and displacement machines containing the same
Inventor: BECHER ULRICH
IPC: F04C18/16
Filed: 2001-07-06
Abstract: The twin screw rotors for axially parallel instalment in displacement machines for compressible media have asymmetrical transverse profiles and arc numbers which are >= 2. The pitch (L) varies according to the angle of contact (.alpha.), increasing in a first partial area (T1) from the suction-side screw end, reaching a maximum value (Lmax) after completing an arc, decreasing in a second partial area (T2) until it reaches a minimum value (Lmin) and being constant in a third partial area (T3). The pitch curve in the first partial area (T1) is preferably mirror-symmetrical to that in the second partial area (T2); within the partial areas T1 to T2, the pitch curve is point-symmetrical to the average values in almost all cases, respectively. As a result, it is possible to obtain compact screw rotors which are completely free of unbalance, with compression rates of 1Ø..10.0, even without profile variation. Rotors of this type offer excellent preconditions for reducing energy requirements, temperature, construction space and costs and for the free choice of materials, with applications in chemistry, pharmacy, packaging and semiconductor technology.

IPC: B22F3/00
Filed: 2001-03-22
Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé permettant de produire des corps métalliques par mélange de particules de composé métallique avec un liant et par compression pour former des pièces moulées. Le liant est ensuite éliminé et le composé métallique est réduit en métal par gazage avec un gaz réducteur à des températures très élevées, la réduction intervenant à des températures inférieures à la température de frittage du composé métallique réduite, de sorte que les corps moulés réduits obtenus présentent, tout en conservant dans une large mesure leur géométrie originelle, une masse volumique inférieure à celle du composé métallique utilisé. La matrice métallique ainsi obtenue peut ensuite être comprimée à l'aide de forces mécaniques. Si après compression, un frittage intervient à la température de frittage habituelle, on obtient des pièces d'acier très résistantes présentant des porosités résiduelles très réduites et une haute tolérance géométrique.

Title: Gene disruption methodologies for drug target discovery
Inventor: OHLSEN KARI L
IPC: A61K48/00
Filed: 2001-12-26
Abstract: The present invention provides methods and compositions that enable the experimental determination as to whether any gene in the genome of a diploid  pathogenic organism is essential, and whether it is required for virulence o r pathogenicity. The methods involve the construction of genetic mutants in which one allele of a specific gene is inactivated while the other allele of  the gene is placed under conditional expression. The identification of essential genes and those genes critical to the development of virulent infections, provides a basis for the development of screens for new drugs against such pathogenic organisms. The present invention further provides Candida albicans genes that are demonstrated to be essential and are potenti al targets for drug screening. The nucleotide sequence of the target genes can be used for various drug discovery purposes, such as expression of the recombinant protein, hybridization assay and construction of nucleic acid arrays. The uses of proteins encoded by the essential genes, and genetically  engineered cells comprising modified alleles of essential genes in various screening methods are also encompassed by the invention.
