Patent EP-1428914-A2 (EP)
Inventor: MOELLER RUDOLF
IPC: D01H5/52
Filed: 2003-11-27
Abstract: A switching disc (12) intervenes between piston (2) and cylinder base (6) on the pressure chamber (8) side. An initial compressed air pulse into the pressure chamber, overcomes friction and as a result, the disc reaches a position near the piston.  The outer diameter of the disc is less than the inner diameter of the casing, but presents a maximal working area for the pressure pulse. The disc is fitted to a coaxial extension (10) of the piston rod (3) which projects into the pressure chamber (8). The disc includes an inner radial extension bush (10), shaped for guidance along the rod. The disc grips the piston rod by means of an elastomer ring (15), exerting friction. The ring is held in a corresponding groove in the inner edge of the disc. The casing (1) has an internal stop ring (16) formation. This is an end stop for the piston on one side, and an end stop for the disc located close to the piston, on the other side. The pneumatic cylinder action is single-stroke. The disc is located in the sole pressure chamber which lies on the opposite side of the piston from the piston rod opening. The piston rod leaves the pot-shaped cylinder at a basal opening. At the other end, the cylinder has a separate base (6) which closes it. The base has a connection (7) for the pressure medium. This is applied to the pressure chamber and a guide recess (9) corresponding with the piston rod extension.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé permettant de déterminer la distance entre deux dispositifs par envoi de paquets de mesure de la distance entre ceux-ci. Le dispositif local envoie un premier paquet de mesure de la distance, le dispositif à distance envoyant des mises en garde pendant un premier temps de mise en garde avant l'envoi d'un deuxième paquet de mesure de la distance en retour. Le dispositif local envoie également un troisième paquet de mesure de la distance, le dispositif à distance envoyant des mises en garde pendant un deuxième temps de mise en garde avant l'envoi d'un quatrième paquet de mesure de la distance en retour. Si le deuxième temps de mise en garde est le double du premier temps de mise en garde, le temps de propagation des signaux entre les deux dispositifs peut alors être déterminé uniquement par des mesures du temps effectuées par le dispositif local. Pour des signaux reçus, ces mesures de temps peuvent être adaptées de manière à obtenir des estimations du temps précises pour une ligne directe de signal visuel correspondant à la distance de transmission la plus courte entre les deux dispositifs. Le temps de propagation peut ensuite être utilisé pour déterminer une distance entre les dispositifs.

Abstract: A method for purifying an immunosuppressant protein (HISP) has the steps of obtaining supernatant from hNT cells; exposing the supernatant to preparative polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis to produce 20 isoelectric fractions, including active isoelectric fraction #10; placing the active isoelectric fraction on a Blue Sepharose column to bind albumin; and collecting the free fraction containing the concentrated, isolated HISP. Also disclosed is a method of treating inflammation, using an effective amount of an HISP. The HISP is anionic, has a molecular weight of 40-100 kDa, an isoelectric point of about 4.8 and is obtained from the supernatant of hNT cells, but not from NCCIT embryonal carcinoma cells, T98G glioblastoma cells or THP-Imonocytic leukemia cells. HISP can maintain T cells in a quiescent G0/G1 state without lowering their viability. HISP loses activity when treated with heat, pH2, pH11, or mixed with trypsin or carboxypeptidase, but not with neuraminidase. HISP can suppress proliferation of responder peripheral blood mononuclear cells in allogeneic mixed lymphocyte cultures; HISP can suppress T-cell proliferation and IL-2 production in response to phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA), ionomycin and concanavalin-A. HISP does not bind to heparin-sepharose CL-B gel; or to albumin-binding resin Blue Sepharose. HISP is concentrated with YM10 ultrafiltration. HISP does not act through the T-cell receptor-CD3 complex or via altered accessory signal cells. A method of treating inflammation comprises administering an effective amount of hNT neuronal cells.
