Title: Self-cleaning method for a cooking appliance
Inventor: WHIPPLE ROBERT Z JR
IPC: F24C14/00
Filed: 2002-10-21
Abstract: A self-cleaning system for a convection cooking appliance controls the activation and deactivation of multiple heating units, as well as a blower, throughout an initial preheat and subsequent phases of a cleaning operation. In accordance with the preferred self-cleaning method, an initial, catalyst pre-heat stage is followed by a moderately high-temperature presoak stage. For the main cleaning operation, a high temperature stage is initiated in combination with a high convection air flow to establish high oven surface temperatures in a minimal time frame.      This timed stage is followed by a cool down period wherein both the temperature and convection speed is reduced. Thereafter, an intermediate temperature heating stage with medium convective air flow followed by a cooling stage are provided for preset time periods. This combination of intermediate temperature heating and subsequent cooling stages is repeated until the total self-cleaning time is completed.

Title: Heterobifunctional cross-linking agent conjugate substituted by an immunomodulator and cell recognition unit
Inventor: DILLOO DAGMAR
IPC: C07D487/08
Filed: 2001-05-17
Abstract: The present invention related to heterobifunctional cross-linkers substituted by a cell surface binding group or a cell recognising group, and also by a bio-active group, the bio-active group attached to a carbonyl of the cross-linker by an acid labile bond. Examples of suitable bio-active groups include an immunomodulator and an anti-neoplastic group. The conjugate enables, for example, the coupling of immunomodulators ex vivo to a target cell, for example a tumor antigen presenting cell. The conjugate can act as a non-toxic prodrug carrying a cytotoxin, for example, to a target tissue site, where the pH-dependency of the labile amide bond provides for cell selectivity of the masked cytotoxin. The invention further relates to a method for producing the cross-linkers, their use in treating disease, and ex-vivo cell labeling.

Title: Relative rates of cytochrome p450 metabolism
Inventor: JONES JEFFREY P
IPC: G16B15/30
Filed: 2001-07-09
Abstract: Reactive sites on a substrate molecule, typically a drug, may be identified and the relative rates of their metabolism by the CYP enzymes may be determined. Determining these relative rates is an important factor in determining the absolute rate of metabolism of the individual sites and the substrate molecule as a whole. This information is also a critical factor in determining whether and how the substrate can be redesigned to improve its ADME/PK properties. In this regard, it is particularly important to know how the relative rates compare to the rate of a non-metabolic side reaction (branch pathway) such as water generation and regeneration of the substrate.
