Inventor: LUQMAN MOHAMMAD
IPC: A61K38/20
Filed: 2004-11-04
Abstract: Methods of therapy for treating a subject for an autoimmune disease and/or inflammatory disease are provided. The methods comprise administering a therapeutically effective amount of an antagonist anti-CD40 antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof to a patient in need thereof. The antagonist anti-CD40 antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof is free of significant agonist activity, but exhibits antagonist activity when the antibody binds a CD40 antigen on a human CD40- expressing cell. Antagonist activity of the anti-CD40 antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof beneficially inhibits CD40L-mediated stimulation of CD40-expressing cells, and thus inhibits survival and signaling pathways of human CD40-expressing cells that are mediated by CD40L.

Title: Procede et compositions a base de microemulsion & emulsion submicronique
Inventor: HARDING RONALD
IPC: B01F23/70
Filed: 2005-08-31
Abstract: L~invention concerne un procédé de fabrication d~une composition à base de microémulsion ou émulsion submicronique d~huile dans l~eau (O/W) pour administration cutanée d~au moins un ingrédient pharmaceutiquement actif, le procédé comprenant les phases suivantes a) mélange par addition d~une première partie comprenant au moins un élément du groupe consistant en huiles animales, minérales ou végétales, silanes, siloxanes, esters, acides gras, graisses, composés d~halogène ou alcools alcoxylés ; et un ou plusieurs tensioactifs lipophiles, et une seconde partie englobant de l~eau et au moins un tensioactif hydrophile pour obtenir une certaine homogénéité, b) chauffage du mélange de la phase a) à une température d~assemblage de phase dans la fourchette de 40 à 99°C, de préférence de 45 à 95°C, idéalement de 65 à 85°C avec un mélange continu pour obtenir une microémulsion ou une émulsion submicronique, c) permettre à ladite microémulsion ou ladite émulsion submicronique de refroidir, et d) addition d~une troisième partie à ladite microémulsion ou ladite émulsion submicronique à une température entre 2°C et ladite température d~assemblage de phase, ladite troisième partie si nécessaire étant prémélangée et chauffée jusqu~à la dissolution des composants et comprenant au moins un composant sélectionné parmi le groupe consistant en un composé de type amphiphile sans tensioactif, un tensioactif et de l~eau sous réserve que si la troisième partie contient de l~eau, elle contient également un composé de type amphiphile sans tensioactif et/ou un tensioactif. La température d~assemblage de phase peut être déterminée visuellement par la translucidité dans la composition ou bien par des mesures comme des pics de conductivité, avant d~être maintenue à un plateau pendant l~assemblage de phase. Il est apparu que si l~on ajoute un composé de type amphiphile sans tensioactif comme le polyol, à la seconde partie comme cela serait le cas normalement, il n~y a pas de formation de microémulsion ou d~émulsion submicronique, alors qu~en ajoutant ce que l~on appelle la troisième partie, l~assemblage de phase se produit à une température plus basse que prévue et de plus, cette phase semble contribuer à maintenir les caractéristiques de microémulsion et d~émulsion submicronique de la formulation pendant un stockage à des températures normales.

Title: Method for monitoring the degree of fouling of a filter
Inventor: WESSLING MATTHIAS
IPC: B01D37/04
Filed: 2005-09-01
Abstract: The invention relates to a method of filtering a fluid. The method according to the invention is characterised in that after filtering a contaminated fluid, which causes the formation of a filter cake, a substantially non-contaminated fluid is fed through the filter cake and filter at varying flux or at varying driving force. At the same time the necessary driving force or the obtained flux, respectively, are measured. The measured value and the respective value setting are compared with at least one standard set of data and on the basis of this comparison the fouling status of the fluid to be filtered, the filter and the filter cake is determined. The method according to the invention makes it possible to accurately determine characteristics of a fluid to be filtered. This may be realised by simply varying the flux and measuring the driving force at different flux values, or vice versa.

IPC: A23L7/10
Filed: 2005-10-27
Abstract: Precooked and partially-debranned corn flour is continuously produced by an enzymatic precooking using a commercial blend of xylanase, endoamylase and endoprotease as a processing aid. The low-temperature and neutral-pH  precooking with an endoenzyme solution effected a partial bran hydrolysis while avoiding excessive pregelatinization, reduced washing and corn solid loss in wastewater. Moisture content is then stabilized, followed by milling and drying at a high-temperature and short-time to produce a controlled gelatinization and denaturation in the ground kernel, cooling and further drying the dried-ground particle. A fine particle size or flour is separated and recovered from the coarser particle which is also segregated to isolate a partially hydrolysed bran fraction for integral flour or animal feed diet, remilling and sieving the coarser particle to produce an instant corn flour for snack, and admixing the fine particle with lime to obtain a masa flour for tortilla and other corn foods.
