Title: Method for separating lignocellulose-containing biomass
Inventor: KARSTENS TIES
IPC: D21C3/00
Filed: 2000-04-11
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for separating lignocellulose-containing biomass, especially wood, into the essential components in the form of lignin, hemicellulose and cellulose, with the following steps: a) pre-hydrolyzing the lignocellulose-containing biomass by treating it with water or steam; b) extracting the hydrolyzed hemicellulose obtained by pre-hydrolyzation with an aqueous medium; c) extracting the process-modified lignin that remains in the residue with an alkanolamine, isolating the lignin, recovering the alkanolamine, whereby the alkanolamine is not substituted by alkyl groups at the nitrogen atom, and d) obtaining a cellulose raw material. The inventive method is characterized in that hemicelluloses and lignin can be specifically separated from the cellulose in two different process steps. For this purpose, simple and commercially available system components can be used that facilitate an economical operation also with small installations.

Title: Cytopathic viruses for therapy and prophylaxis of neoplasia
Inventor: BISCHOFF JAMES R
IPC: A61K35/76
Filed: 1997-12-10
Abstract: Methods and compositions for treating neoplastic conditions by viral-based therapy are provided. Mutant virus lacking viral proteins which bind and/or inactivate p53 or RB are administered to a patient having a neoplasm which comprises cells lacking p53 and/or RB function. The mutant virus is able to substantially produce a replication phenotype in neoplastic cells but is substantially unable to produce a replication phenotype in non-replicating, non-neoplastic cells having essentially normal p53 and/or RB function. The preferential generation of replication phenotype in neoplastic cells results in a preferential killing of the neoplastic cells, either directly or by expression of a cytotoxic gene in cells expressing a viral replication phenotype.

Title: Chemical releasing tag assembly
Inventor: PARRY JOHN STEWART
IPC: A61D7/00
Filed: 1986-08-01
Abstract: Male and female tag members 2' and 3' have respectively a projecting portion 5' for extending through the part to be tagged and a receiving portion 10' for accommodating an end part of the projecting portion 5' after it has passed through the part to be tagged. The receiving portion 10' is in the form of a closed container defining a cylindrical chamber 11' containing sterilising substance. The action of fitting the tag assembly to the part to be tagged causes the projecting portion 5' to pierce a weakened portion 14' of a wall of the chamber 11' resulting in release of sterilising substance from the chamber 11', for example for sterilising the wound formed when the assembly is fitted to an animal's ear. In a variant the sterilising substance is replaced by a substance having active pharmaceutical properties.

Title: Woven fabric with flat film warp yarns and apparatus for forming same
Inventor: HASSELL STEPHEN MICHAEL
IPC: B26D1/03
Filed: 1999-10-04
Abstract: A textile fabric comprises a plurality of weft yarns extending generally in a weft direction and a plurality of flat film warp yarns extending generally in a warp direction. The warp yarns are interwoven with the weft yarns in a series of identical repeating units of a predetermined weave pattern. The flat film warp yarns, which are preferably between about 10 and 40  mu m in thickness and 0.010 and 0.025 inches in width, are preferably interwoven with the weft yarns such that, in each of the identical repeating units, the weft yarns are interwoven as coupled pairs, such that a first yarn of each of the coupled pairs follows the same interweaving pattern relative to each of the flat film warp yarns as a second yarn of that pair. This configuration, known as a "double-pick" configuration, can produce a fabric that has acceptable appearance and feel, but at a considerably lower cost than typical textile fabrics of comparable weight because of the presence of the flat film warp yarns. The flat film warp yarns can be formed on a slitting apparatus having a plurality of parallel, aligned, spaced apart cutting blades.
Patent AU-6511380-A (AU)
Title: Surgical stapler
Inventor: VEY R A
IPC: A61B17/10
Filed: 1980-12-05
Abstract: A surgical stapling mechanism particularly suited for suturing skin and fascia and adapted to be mounted on or formed as part of an instrument having rectilinear thrust capabilities. The mechanism basically comprises a staple-housing portion which is adapted to store a plurality of surgical staples (30) in a linear array. The staple-housing portion contains a guide track (32) for orienting the surgical staples (30) so that the crowns (34) of the staples (30) lie in substantially the same plane. A spring arrangement (36) constantly urges the staple array in a forward direction. An exit aperture (37) provides a means by which the surgical staples may exit. Integral with the exit aperture is an anvil (40) which is used to form the staples (30) as they exit, one at a time. A delivery channel (42) provides a passageway through which the staples (30) move, one at a time, on their way toward the anvil (40). The delivery channel (42) defines a plane spaced from and substantially parallel to a plane defined by the crowns (34) of the staples (30) as they are stored in the staple-housing portion. A connecting channel (44) between the storage track (32) and the delivery channel (42) provides a path from the staple-housing portion to the delivery channel (42) for the passage of the surgical staples (30). Mounted for rectilinear movement is a pusher (50) which responds to a force supplied by the stapling instrument to advance a staple (30) through the delivery channel (42) and out of the exit aperture (37) for formation about the anvil (40).

Filed: 1996-07-30
Abstract: A nucleic acid detection assay is disclosed which assay comprises hybridizing a large nucleic acid probe (i.e. preferably more than 100 bp long) with a RNA or DNA target nucleic acid present in a biological sample. The probe in this method is to comprise both a detection element and a capture element and is to to be degradable by a suitable enzyme when it is single stranded. Following hybridization the sample is treated with a enzyme capable of degrading unhybridized nucleic acids. Then the hybrids are captured by contacting them with a solid support comprising an element capable of binding with the capture element of the probe. Finally the detection element of the probe is used to detect the probe, thereby indicating that the target nucleic acid is present in the biological sample.
