Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing optically active cyanhydrins by reacting oxo compounds, such as for example aldehyde and/or ketone with hydrogen cyanide and/or with a cyanide donor in the presence of an inclusion compound which contains an oxynitrilase with an increased molecular weight. According to said method, an oxynitrilase is used, whose molecular weight is first increased by cross-linkage and which is subsequently converted into a gel inclusion compound and/or a gel complex compound, said conversions occurring substantially in two independent steps. The method which is carried out in particular at temperatures of between - 10 and + 30  DEG C and at pH values of between 3.0 and 6.0, preferably in an aqueous or hydrous system, but also in organic solvents, uses a component which contains enzymes. In said component, the molecular-weight of the enzyme has been increased, in particular by co-cross-linkage or by flocculation and said enzyme is used either in a free form or is enclosed by natural or artificial cells. A deciding factor in this method is the fact that the enzyme is enclosed by or complexed in a gel, which results in negligibly small attrition and leaching losses at a practically constant high level of enzyme activity, rendering the method extremely effective and economic.

Abstract: The invention provides a novel human Mab Fab, cloned by phage display, and its use in diagnostic and therapeutic methods. In particular the invention provides a method for analyzing the OxLDL components of atherosclerotic plaques <i>in vivo</i> and a means to determine their relative pathology. As the method is based on a human Fab rather than a mouse Mab, the progress or regression of the disease may be monitored over time. The antibody may also be used for the analysis of surgical or serum samples <i>ex vivo</i> for the prsence of OxLDL. The antibody may also be used to target therapeutic agents to the site of atherosclerotic plaques or may have use as a therapeutic agent itself.

Abstract: For each new width of profile, optimal cut starting points (A, B) are determined. These are located in relation to a reference point by the adjustable programmable control unit (28), and lie directly ahead of the profile (21) edges (30). Directly after the saw blade (24) has cut off a length of profile, the sawing unit is retracted and reversed. During retraction, the sawing unit is brought into the next optimal position to start a cut. An independent claim is included for corresponding equipment. It comprises in addition, a double conveyor belt to carry the continuous profile. The profile has a rigid foam core between covering layers. Retraction following cutting, is rapid. Preferred features: During location at the ideal point to start the cut, a safety spacing is added, clearing the edges of the profile. Saw blade (24) and a burr removal unit (26) behind it, are retracted sufficiently from the profile, that both can be used together.

Abstract: A haptic feedback joystick provides input signals for controlling computer programs in response to a pivotal displacement of a joystick control handle about a plurality of orthogonal axes. Haptic feedback force effects are applied to the joystick control handle about "X" and "Y" axes in response to haptic feedback command signals generated by the computer program. The control handle is mounted on a control handle shaft that is pivotally coupled to a full-gimbal assembly driven by two electric motors to produce the haptic feedback force. The full-gimbal assembly includes an upper and lower gimbal operatively coupled to a corresponding electric motor. One side of each gimbal includes a support shaft mounted in a corresponding bearing a frame, while the opposite sides of each gimbal include two drive pins that couple with a sector gear. Each sector gear is rotatably mounted on the frame and is coupled to the drive shaft of a different one of the electric motors. Each of the upper and lower gimbals enable the control handle to be displaced about a respective one of said X and Y axes, while the electric motors impart a torque to the control handle about these axes in response to electrical drive currents generated by a motor controller. Potentiometers are coupled to the upper and lower gimbals to produce proportional output signals indicative of the angular displacement of the control handle about the X and Y axes. The output signals are transmitted to a computer running the software program.

Abstract: Current methods for detecting influenza A subtype H5 virus, for example cell culture, haemagglutination-inhibition, fluorescent antibody and enzyme immunoassay, and reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) may have the disadvantages of low sensitivity and low specificity. Furthermore, such methods are relatively difficult to use, and may not be suitable for routine detection on a daily basis. The kit for detecting H5 virus of this invention may provide a user-friendly alternative that is relatively more sensitive and specific to H5 virus. The detection kit utilizes two specially designed primers A and B for the replication of H5 virus, and a specific capture probe for immobilizing the amplified viral RNA. An additional primer C is also designed for the detection of pathogenic H5 virus. The detection of H5 virus by the detection kit may be accomplished within one day if desired.
