Patent EP-1545642-B1 (EP)
Inventor: CHANG JAMES W
IPC: C08L35/08
Filed: 2003-08-05
Granted: 2009-02-25
Abstract: A medical device provided with at least a partial surface coating of a thermoplastic copolymer of tetrafluoroethylene and perfluoroalkylvinylether that is free of cross-linking monomers and curing agents. The fluoropolymer coating is preferably an amorphous thermoplastic, is highly inert and biocompatible, has elastomeric characteristics that provide desirable mechanical properties such as good flexibility and durability. These characteristics allow the coating to be considered “functionally transparent” because it withstands mechanical deformations required for the assembly, deployment, expansion, and placement of medical devices, without any adverse effect on the mechanical and biological functionality of the coated device. Further, its inertness, derived from the perfluorocarbon structure, contributes to its functionally transparent nature. The coating can be provided with various liquid or solid additives, can be loaded with large quantities of additives including a wide range of therapeutic agents, and has excellent drug elution characteristics when elutable additives are used.

Abstract: The invention provides methods for generating high titers of high-affinity antibodies from hybridoma cells produced by fusing myeloma cells with in vitro immunized donor cells. The hybridoma cells or mammalian expression cells with cloned antibody genes from the hybridomas producing the high-affinity antibodies may be mismatch repair defective due to defects of endogenous mismatch repair subunits of through expression of a dominant negative allele of a mismatch repair gene which allows the hybridoma cell to be hypermutable, may be rendered hypermutable by chemical means, or may be naturally mismatch repair deficient. High-affinity antibodies and high titer producer cells producing antibodies may be prepared by the methods of the invention.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the controlled application of a stator-current target value (ISnom) and a torque target value (Mnom) for a polyphase machine (4) that is supplied by an electronic power converter. According to the invention: current components (ISdnom, ISqnom) in a co-ordinate system (d, q) with a fixed rotor flux or rotating magnetic pole are calculated in accordance with a torque target value and in asynchronous machines in accordance with a rotor-flux target value (ψRnom), a calculated rotor-flux actual value (ψ<SB>R</SB>) or a rotating magnetic-pole flux; a stator-circuit frequency (ω<SB>S</SB>) is determined; a terminal-flux target value (ψKnom) is calculated in accordance with the values (ISnom, ISqnom, ψ<SB>R</SB>, ω<SB>S</SB>) by means of the machine parameters (L, R<SB>S</SB>), said terminal-flux target value being subsequently projected onto a flux-course curve, selected from stored, off-line optimised flux-course curves. This permits the state of the stator current (I<SB>S</SB>) to be regulated in relation to the rotor flux (ψ<SB>R</SB>) or rotating magnetic-pole flux by means of momentary values, facilitating a stationary and dynamic precise control of motor currents (I1,I2,I3) and thus the torques (M) of a polyphase machine (4).

Abstract: The invention relates to a feed roll assembly for reducing leakage of an elastomeric material in a feed section of an extruder machine. A shell, feed roll seal plates, and feed roll end plates are used to reduce the leakage of elastomeric material. Elastomeric material is redirected back to the feed section through the use of a varying bore diameter of the shell and grooves contained in both the feed roll seal plates and the feed roll end plates. The shell, feed roll seal plates, feed roll end plates, and a feed roll scraper are each coated with a solid, dry lubricant coating to reduce friction. The invention provides desirable feedback of overflow elastomeric material and permits a retrofitting of the feed roll assembly to existing extruder machines.

Abstract: The invention relates to forage production and can be used by factories for processing animal product refused screenings. The inventive method for producing a food supplement from a keratin-containing raw material consists in heating, grinding, sterilising and drying an initial raw material whose moisture ranges from 35 to 95 %, in subsequently compacting and heating in a mixer-grinder channel with a continuous feeding at a pressure of 0.4-10.0 mPa and the raw material temperature ranging from 60 to 120 °C followed by a hydrothermal processing thereof with a temperature of 150-250 °C for 5-300 seconds associated with simultaneous fine grinding and abrasion. Afterwards, the thus processed raw material is transferred to an atmospheric pressure area. The inventive method makes it possible to simplify a production process, reduce costs and improve the quality of the protein supplement.
