Title: Composition and method for modulating dendritic cell-t cell interaction
Inventor: FIGDOR CARL GUSTAV
IPC: A61K39/00
Filed: 2001-09-28
Abstract: Use of a compound (I) that binds to a C-type lectin (II) on the surface of a dendritic cell (DC) for producing a composition for modulating (especially reducing) the immune response in an animal (particularly human or other mammal), provided that (II) is not the DEC-205 receptor. Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) an antibody (Ab), preferably monoclonal, directed against a C-type lectin (IIa) having a fully defined sequence of about 400 amino acids (given in the specification) or its natural variants, equivalents, parts, fragments or epitopes; (2) a pharmaceutical composition containing Ab and at least one carrier, excipient, adjuvant or auxiliary; (3) a combination of (I) attached to an antigen (Ag) or its fragment; (4) a method for producing, isolating and/or purifying DC from a biological sample or culture medium; and (5) DC prepared by method in (4). ACTIVITY : Immunosuppressant; immunostimulant; anti-allergic; antiviral; antitumor; antibacterial; antiprotozoal. MECHANISM OF ACTION : (I) mediates adhesion between DC and other cells by inhibiting interaction between (II) and (i) an ICAM (intracellular adhesion molecule) on T cells or (ii) gp 120 on HIV (human immune deficiency virus)-infected cells. A new (II), DC-SIGN, is not only involved in DC-T cell clumping but is also a major HIV receptor. Cells of the leukemia line K562 were transfected to express ICAM-3 and tested for binding to DC. Clumping between the cells was inhibited by antibodies directed against DC-SIGN, and DC-mediated T cell proliferation was then only about 1/3 of that in an antibody-free medium. The effect was greatly increased when anti-LFA3 antibodies were additionally present (practically no proliferation).

Title: Panels comprising coupling means
Inventor: MOEBUS MAIK
IPC: E04F15/04
Filed: 2002-01-04
Abstract: The invention relates to panels comprising coupling means which permit the panels to be interconnected by form fit. A first panel comprises a projecting edge positioned laterally on its underside as the coupling element. A second panel comprises a projecting edge positioned laterally on its upper side as the coupling element. One of the aforementioned edges has a first projecting locking element which engages in a corresponding first cavity or recess of the other edge when the two panels are joined together. The panels comprise additional coupling elements which lock the panels by form fit in a vertical direction, in relation to the surface of said panels. The coupling elements are configured in such a way that one panel can be connected to the other panel by form fit, by lowering the former in relation to the latter. Two panels of the aforementioned type can be interconnected without adhesive in a particularly rapid manner.

Title: Generation of immune responses to prostate-specific antigen (spa)
Inventor: SCHLOM JEFFREY
IPC: A61K48/00
Filed: 2002-05-11
Abstract: We have discovered that by using a recombinant viral vector, preferably a pox virus vector having at least one insertion site containing a DNA segment encoding prostate-specific antigen (PSA), operably linked to a promoter capable of expression in the host, a specific humoral and cellular immune response to PSA can be generated. The method preferably comprises introducing a sufficient amount of the recombinant pox virus vector into a host to stimulate the immune response, and contacting the host with additional PSA at periodic intervals thereafter. The additional PSA may be added by using a second pox virus vector from a different pox genus. In another embodiment, additional PSA can be added by contacting the host with PSA by a variety of other methods, including in one preferred embodiment adding PSA. The PSA may be formulated with an adjuvant or in a liposomal formulation.

Abstract: The present invention relates to coating compositions, preferably printing inks for security applications comprising at least one organic resin, at least one pigment and optionally at least one organic solvent. Said pigment comprises glass ceramic composite particles, containing at least one crystalline particle embedded in a glass matrix. Said glass ceramic particles have a particle size in the range of between 0.1  mu m to 50  mu m.

Glass ceramic luminescents have excellent physical and chemical stability. The glass matrix permits as well the stabilisation of the photophysically interesting halide host crystals which have low phonon energies. Such materials provide unusual excitation and emission properties.

Title: Method and system for security authentication via short messages by communication terminal
Inventor: LEIMING YUAN
IPC: H04W/
Filed: 2008-12-30
Abstract: The present invention discloses a method and a system for authentication via a communication terminal using short messages, in order to solve the problems that the content of a short message is easy to be leaked out by a proxy SP and that the loss and delay of a short message may lead to repeating user payments. The method includes: sending, by the communication terminal to a payment system via an SP1, a short message payment request including a payee's account identifier and a payment amount; creating, by the payment system, a payment record corresponding to the request and sending verification information to the communication terminal via an SP2, the verification information including the payee's account identifier and the payment amount; replying, by the communication terminal, confirmation information to the payment system via the SP2, upon confirming that the payee's account identifier and the payment amount in the verification information are correct; and performing, by the payment system, a payment operation. The present invention uses a dual channel (SP1 and SP2) asynchronous transmission mechanism. The situation where any one of the channel is illegally controlled and thus short message information is leaked out can be prevented and the user can cancel a repeated payment in confirmation of the payment.

Title: Heart valve delivery system
Inventor: TAYLOR DAVID M
IPC: A61F/
Filed: 2011-10-12
Abstract: A delivery system for delivering a prosthetic heart valve to a native valve site within the human vasculature. The prosthetic valve is disposed on a balloon at the end of a balloon catheter. The balloon catheter passes through a delivery sleeve assembly and handle. A pull wire travels from the handle to a distal end of the delivery sleeve assembly. Actuation of the handle pulls on the pull wire, which causes openings in a slotted tube of the delivery sleeve assembly to close, thus causing the delivery sleeve assembly to bend. A stretchable cover is placed over the slotted tube for biasing the steerable catheter toward a straight position. Once advanced to the native valve site, the prosthetic valve is deployed by inflating the balloon.

Title: Smart valve positioner
Inventor: BROWN GREGORY C
IPC: F16K31/126
Filed: 1998-09-15
Abstract: A valve positioner controls operation of a valve in a process control system. The valve positioner is coupled to a process control loop over which it receives a signal representative of a desired valve position and operating power for the positioner. The valve positioner controls a pneumatic actuator which in turn controls position of the valve. The valve positioner includes a microprocessor, associated digital circuitry and analog circuitry. Low power analog circuitry performs PID control functions. The microprocessor periodically updates at least one digital control signal used to selectively program a resistance in the analog circuitry. The combination of digital and analog circuitry allows reduced power consumption because the analog PID function consumes less power and is performed more quickly than the microprocess could perform the same function.
