Abstract: A method for preparing a conjugate, and preferably a protein-polysaccharide conjugate, includes functionalizing a first moiety (e.g., a polysaccharide) with one or more pendant haloacyl groups. Thereafter, the functionalized first moiety is reacted with a second moiety, preferably an unmodified protein or a protein to which no thiol groups have been added, to form a covalently linked conjugate. Various different haloacyl reagents can be used in the invention. For example, the haloacyl reagent can be an active ester, an anhydride, a haloacyl chloride, or a haloacyl acid. Specific haloacyl reagents that can be used in the process of the invention include N-succinimidyl-2,3-dibromopropionate and N-succinimidyl iodoacetate. The invention further relates to the conjugates produced by the method of the invention. These conjugates can be used as immunogens or vaccines. Furthermnore, the invention also relates to a method of inducing an immune response in a subject by administering a vaccine made by the method according to the invention.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for processing a work piece by removing material with a tool in which the tool is guided over the work piece in paths. The pivoting and cambering angle of the tool is selected in every point such that the width of a tolerance zone is optimized. Within said zone, the effective zone (K) of the tool is located in a tolerance zone of the desired specified surface (Psi) of the work piece. The distance between two points (Pl, Pr) is maximized, said points characterizing the furthest outlying points of the tolerance zone. As a result, it possible to produce surfaces having a high precision with a small number of paths.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for detaching precious metal layers from a correspondingly coated material by dissolving the precious metals in a salt-containing alkali cyanide solution containing oxidizing agents. According to the invention the alkali cyanide solution continuously flows around the material positioned in a dissolution unit (22), preferably contains at least an alkali sulfate, an alkali metaborate and/or a nitroaromatic compound and for obtaining and/or regenerating the oxidizing agent is electrolytically oxidized in a closed circuit in an electrolytic cell (10). The method provided for by the invention there requires minimal quantities of chemicals, which results in correspondingly low recycling costs. If a nitroaromatic compound is used the oxidized solution is stable to such a degree that the dissolution process in the dissolution unit (22) and the oxidizing process in the electrolytic cell (10) can be carried out independently of each other. The precious metals dissolved in the alkali cyanide solution, such as gold, silver, palladium or such like, and/or impurities are preferably separated out electrolytically in the cathode compartment (28) of a further electrolytic cell (26) which chamber is separated from the corresponding anode compartment (30), which is filled with a powerful electrolyte, for example a 10 % potassium hydroxide solution, by a cation exchange membrane (32). Said membrane is preferably coated with a precious metal, notably gold, since this permits extremely high degrees of purity of up to 99 % during separation.

Abstract: A trochoidal gear pump or engine uses a coaxial hub with the outer and/or inner rotor and an associated rolling element bearing assembly that preferably uses pre-loaded bearings to precisely set the rotational axis and/or the axial position of the rotor with which it is associated. This allows the fixed-gap clearance between the rotor surfaces and the housing surfaces or the other rotor surfaces to be set at a distance that minimizes operating fluid shear forces and/or by-pass leakage and eliminates gear tooth wear thus preserving effective chamber to chamber sealing. The device is useful in handling gaseous and two-phase fluids in expansion/contracting fluid engines/compressors and can incorporate an output shaft that accommodates an integrated condensate pump for use with Rankine cycles. A vent from the housing cavity to a lower pressure input or output port regulates built-up fluid pressure in the housing thereby optimizing the efficiency of the device by controlling bypass leakage.

Abstract: The invention in its entirety is proposed as a rotary piston and, like a piston, it takes in and compresses air and fluids, transforming the expansion of the combustion into rotation. However, its special feature consists in rotation on its own axis, and in simultaneously and not alternately performing the functions of intake, compression, explosion and exhaust with a continuous movement of rotation along a ring, where rotors are situated, dividing the circular crown into segments and representing closures. The tooth which does the compressing and aspirating, or exploding and exhausting, overcomes them, running through the following segment without interrupting their closure function. <IMAGE>
