Title: Automatic cutting of products such as carcasses
Inventor: HINSCH ANDREW WILLIAM
IPC: A22B5/00
Filed: 2001-10-11
Abstract: Methods and apparatus are described for automatically splitting carcass (10) of a slaughtered animal. The apparatus includes saw assembly (17) mounted on carriage (22) and ultrasonic scanner (30). Assembly (17) is moved by carriage (22) along support (16) so that saw blade (18) commences cutting at the base of the spine and progressively advances downwardly following the line of the spine. Scanner (30) scans carcass (10) and the data signals are processed to locate the spine and/or determine its conformation immediately ahead of the point where blade (18) is splitting carcass (10). The processed signals are used to control the degrees of movement of blade (18) including lateral movement, rolling movement, vertical movement, tilting movement and yawing movement. The apparatus can also follow a desired line of cut in other medical, veterinary or forensic applications, or for cutting manufactured products, artefacts or achaeological articles having an internal structure.

Title: Polymeric immunoglobulin fusion proteins that target low-affinity fc.gamma.receptors
Inventor: JENSEN MARK A
IPC: A61P25/28
Filed: 2002-03-11
Abstract: The present invention concerns a family of nucleic acids, polypeptides and cloning vectors which direct expression of fusion proteins that can mimic aggregated IgG (AIG) and immune complex function with respect to their interactions with Fc.gamma.R and which allow for the inclusion and targeting of a second protein domain to cells expressing Fc.gamma.R. This was accomplished by expressing multiple linear copies of the hinge and CH2 domai ns (HCH2) of human IgG1 fused to the framework region of human IgG1. Convenient restriction sites allow for the facile introduction of additional amino- terminal domains. Methods for treating patients using fusion proteins are al so disclosed. The HCH2 polymers described here represent a new strategy in the design of recombinant proteins for the therapeutic targeting of Fc.gamma.R i n autoimmune disorders.
