Patent CA-2615710-C (CA)
Inventor: WESTERHOF WIETE
IPC: C12N9/99
Filed: 2005-07-28
Granted: 2017-09-12
Abstract: The invention is based on the observation that certain phenols, monophenols or benzenediols, can be metabolized into reactive quinones, in particular ortho-quinones and related reactive intermediates, which is brought about by oxidation of monophenols and benzenediols by proteins exhibiting tyrosinase activity, such as human tyrosinase and the related proteins TRP1 and TRP2.  Although the substances and the produced reactive intermediates are toxic and can induce cell death, it is more relevant according to this invention that they function as haptens that become covalently bound to the tyrosinase enzymes, in particular to histidine moieties, in or near the catalytic site of proteins exhibiting tyrosinase activity, such as tyrosinase, TRP1 and TRP2. An immune response is then to be mounted against these haptenized auto-antigens, in order to treat melanocytic malignancies, in particular melanomas. This is brought about by topical administration of the phenol compounds that can function as tyrosinase substrate analogues. The invention hence provides medicaments for and methods of treating melanomas.

Abstract: A method of transferring a moving web (3), in particular a paper or board web, to a new core (6) and a winder for implanting the method. At least one initial cutting piece (11, 11.1) is introduced between the web (3) and a winding roll (2) in such a way that a region (11.2) of the initial cutting piece (11, 11.1) introduced is not covered by the web (3). After reaching a nip (N2) formed by the winding roll (2) and the new core (6), the initial cutting piece (11, 11.1) is connected to the new core (6), at least temporarily, in the uncovered region (11.2). At least at the point (Q) at which the web (3) runs off the new core (6), cutting of the web (3) by the initial cutting piece (11, 11.1) is effected and/or made possible, as a result of which a new web start, bonded to the initial cutting piece (11, 11.1) and the new core (6), is formed.

Title: Thermally enhanced solid-state generator
Inventor: BERETICH THOMAS
IPC: H01G9/21
Filed: 2006-10-04
Granted: 2014-08-19
Abstract: A solid state energy conversion device along with its production methods and systems of use is provided. The device in its most basic form consists of two layers, in contact with each other, of dissimilar materials in terms of electron density and configuration, sandwiched between metal layers, which serve as the anode and cathode of the device. One of the inside layers is made of a stabilized mixture of carbon and an ionic material (carbon matrix). The other inner material consists of a stabilized oxide mixed with an ionic material (oxide matrix). This device takes advantage of the built-in potential that forms across the barrier between the carbon matrix and the oxide matrix. The built-in potential of the device (when not attached to a resistive load at the terminals), which is determined mathematically by integrating the electrostatic forces that have created themselves across the barrier, will rise or fall in direct proportion to the rise and fall of the device temperature (in kelvins). When a load is attached across the terminals of the device, current flows. Depending on the size of the load or the surface area of the device, a reduced current will allow sustained recombination such that the built-in potential and current remains steady overtime. Otherwise, the current curve will fall over time similar to a capacitor device. Experimentation shows that current rises by the fourth power of the temperature factor.

Abstract: The invention relates to a fuel cell or a fuel cell stack, wherein a means for reducing the concentration of non-reacted alcohol is disposed on the cathode exhaust gas side. Said means particularly comprises an additional electrochemical cell, to which a voltage is applied, and the at least partially non-reacted alcohol is converted by an electrochemical reaction into CO2 and hydrogen and/or water. Because the concentration of non-reacted alcohol is generally small, the loss of current required for the additional reduction reaction does not result in any notable impairment of the efficiency of the fuel cell stack. The invention is thus not limited to only direct methanol fuel cells; rather, it may be applied in an analog fashion to high-temperature fuel cells, particularly high-temperature PEM fuel cells, in which the additional electrochemical cell disposed on the cathode exhaust gas side is advantageously able to convert the remaining CO.
