Filed: 2003-07-05
Abstract: The invention relates to a mutant prion protein (PrP), the globular domain o f which comprises an engineered second disulfide bond in a similar position as in the human doppel protein (hDpl). In an embodiment, the prion protein has an engineered extra disulfide bond in the presumed 'factor X' binding epitope a nd is accommodated with slight, strictly localized conformational changes to inhibit prion propagation in human and animals. Also disclosed is the use of a mutant prion protein (PrP), the globular domain of which comprises at least one engineered additional disulfide bond in a similar position as in the hum an doppel protein, or fragments thereof for therapeutic treatment or for the manufacture of a medicament for therapeutic treatment of proteins causing disease after a conformational transition, e.g. Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathy (TSE), variant forms of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD), fata l familial insomnia (FFI), and Gerstmann-Sträussler-Scheinker syndrome (GSS) i n human. Further, the use of the PrP mutant protein for in vivo generation of disulfide mutants of prion proteins or fragments thereof is carried out in order to enable an intended ther-apy of TSE in animals, e.g. by somatic gene therapy with lentiviral vector, where TSE includes bovine spongiform encephalopathy(BSE), scrapie in sheep, feline spongiform encephalopathy (FSE), and chronic wasting disease (CWD) in elk and deer.

Title: Automatic corral gate closure
Inventor: LENZ DON
IPC: E05F1/14
Filed: 2005-07-29
Abstract: A ranch gate arm assembly which incorporates a gate arm that is mounted to allow swivelling about a longitudinal pivot when an external man or machine force is applied to either side of the gate arm thereby inducing the gate arm to swing out, and two torsion springs, one assembled on each side of the ranch gate arm which push against correlating sides of the gate and push the gate back to a centre position after the external force has passed completely through the opening.
