Abstract: L'invention concerne un pistolet de pulvérisation (10) à faible volume et faible pression, destiné à pulvériser un fluide. Ce pistolet comprend un logement (12), une admission de gaz (16), un mécanisme à vanne de déclenchement, et une buse (14). Ce pistolet (10) renferme également des passages d'air inférieur et supérieur (38, 39) destinés à raccorder respectivement l'admission de gaz (16) au mécanisme à vanne de déclenchement (23), et ce mécanisme à vanne de déclenchement à la buse (14). Le passage supérieur (39), décalé par rapport au passage inférieur (38), se présente sous une forme sensiblement conique, la structure de ces passages (38, 39) produisant un tourbillon de gaz dans ledit passage supérieur (39), ce qui provoque une accélération de gaz destinée à compenser la faible pression du gaz introduit dans l'admission de gaz (16). Par ailleurs, le mécanisme à vanne de déclenchement comprend un robinet à piston (23), un robinet à aiguille (22) destiné à réguler le liquide, et un déclencheur (40). Le robinet à piston (23) peut être pourvu de manchons intérieur et extérieur (26a, 26b) sur lesquels sont ménagées des ouvertures, ces manchons étant coaxiaux et le manchon intérieur (26a) placé dans le manchon extérieur (26b). Le manchon intérieur (26a) peut en outre être réglé de manière rotative par rapport au manchon extérieur (26b), de sorte que les ouvertures (61, 62) ménagées sur ces manchons (26a, 26b) peuvent être entièrement ou partiellement alignées, voire fermées, ce qui permet de réguler le tourbillon de gaz.

Title: Photoluminescent metal-(bis)ligand complexes having different ligands
Inventor: MILLER MARK T
IPC: C09K11/06
Filed: 2000-02-23
Abstract: Photoluminescent complexes of copper, silver, zinc, lithium or similar metal s are described, being (bis)ligand, with two different ligands. A variety of ligands may be used, the larger ligand being of a size or shape such that a pair of such ligand are prevented by steric properties from forming a (bis)ligand complex with the metal. Preferred substituents may be alkyl, ary l or alkaryl hydrocarbons, or halogen, chalcogen, nitrogen or phosphorus moieties, or included heteroatoms. Formulation of the (bis)ligand complex is  accomplished by maintaining the molar ratios of reactants at that which is equivalent to the (bis)ligand complex composition. The complexes are useful as optical sensors for O2, NH3 and NOx, in dye sensitization for photovoltaic devices/solar cells, in producing visible TiO2 photosensitization and in H2 production from the photochemically splitting water. These heteroleptic complexes exhibit photoluminescence equal to or better than ruthenium homoleptic complexes.

Title: Methods and compositions for degradation and/or inhibition of her-family tyrosine kinases
Inventor: ZHENG FURZHONG F
IPC: C07D225/06
Filed: 2000-04-07
Abstract: Bifunctional molecules comprising two hsp-binding moieties which bind to hsp 90 in the pocket to which ansamycin antibiotics bind connected via a linker are  effective for inducing the degradation and/or inhibition of HER-family tyrosine kinases. For example, a compound of two geldanamycin moities joined  by a four-carbon linker provides selective degradation of HER-family tyrosin e kinases, without substantially affecting other kinases. These compounds can be used for treatment of HER-positive cancers with reduced toxicity, since thes e compounds potently kill cancer cells but affect fewer proteins than geldanamycin.

Abstract: A method of treatment of disease by inhibition of cellular secretory process es is provided. The method has particular application in the treatment of diseases dependent upon the exocytotic activity of endocrine cells, exocrine  cells, inflammatory cells, cells of the immune system, cells of the cardiovascular system, and bone cells. Agents and compositions therefor, as well as methods for manufacturing these agents and compositions, are provide d. In a preferred embodiment a clostridial neurotoxin, substantially devoid of holotoxin binding affinity for neuronal cells of the presynaptic muscular junction, is associated with a targeting moiety. The targeting moiety is selected such that the clostridial toxin conjugate so formed may be directed  to a non-neuronal target cell to which the conjugate may bind. Following binding, a neurotoxin component of the conjugate, which is capable of inhibition of cellular secretion, passes into the cytosol of the target cell  by cellular internalisation mechanisms. Thereafter, inhibition of secretion from the target cell is effected.

Inventor: WELCH ANTHONY EDWARD ROBERTS
IPC: B60Q1/46
Filed: 2002-06-13
Abstract: A vehicle is provided with front warning lights adjacent to the front corners of the vehicle. When the vehicle's brake is released, the lights adjacent to the front corner flash red to warn that the vehicle is about to move, or has begun to move. The lights can be coloured light emitting diodes within a lens, or the lens could be coloured red over a white light bulb. The front warning lights electrical circuit can be connected in parallel with the daytime running lights circuit, such that the front warning lights can only be activated when the ignition circuit is on. A  release of the brake pedal deactivates the rear brake lights and completes electrical circuit to activate the red front warning lights. Optionally, a set of green lights can be added to the system to flash green when the vehicle is stopping and when the vehicle has stopped, thereby signaling to other vehicles at an intersection that those vehicles could safely cross in front of the vehicle until the front warning lights change from green to red.
