Title: Clearcoat composition with improved scratch and mar resistance
Inventor: RAMESH SWAMINATHAN
IPC: C08G18/80
Filed: 2001-07-26
Abstract: The polyisocyanate ester compound is a branched material having at least two ester linkages, at least four urethane linkages further from the center of the compound compared to the ester linkages, and at least one terminal isocyanate group for each urethane linkage, which isocyanate group may be blocked. The compound can be prepared by first reaction a polyol compound having at least two hydroxyl groups with a carboxylic acid compound having one carboxylic acid group and at least two hydroxyl groups to form a hydroxyl-functional ester product. The hydroxyl-functional ester products is then reacted with a polyisocyanate compound in which the isocyanate groups have different reactivities. The reaction with the polyisocyanate compound is carried out under conditions so that only one of the isocyanate groups is substantially reactive with the hydroxyl groups of the ester product of the first stage.  Because each of the isocyanate is monofunctional under the reaction conditions, the product avoids building viscosity. In this way, the highly-functional isocyanate can be used for in a coating composition as a crosslimker without the increase in viscosity experienced with polyisocyanate crosslinkers of the prior art.

Title: The diagnosis, prevention, and/or treatment of atherosclerosis and underlying and/or related diseases
Inventor: CASTRO CABEZAS MANUEL
IPC: A23L33/00
Filed: 2001-09-12
Abstract: Complement is recognized as an important, humoral defense system involved in the innate (nonspecific) recognition and elimination of microbial invaders, other foreign particles or molecules, and antigen-antibody complexes form the body. The present invention makes use of the surprising notion that the handling of lipids by the body, rather than its antimicrobial activity, is the primary and most ancient function of the complement system. Consequently, atherosclerosis as observed in disorders associated with disturbed lipid metabolism (familial combined hyperlipemia [FCHL], postprandial hyperlipidemia, hypertriglyceridemia with low levels of HDL cholesterol, and insulin resistance associated with type-II diabetes and obesity), must be ascribed to either genetic or acquired defects in ancient (activatory and/or regulatory) complement components. Based on this new insight, novel preventive measures and treatment modalities of disturbed lipid metabolism are introduced.
