Abstract: An acyloxyacyl hydrolase from the human promyelocyte cell line HL-60 has been found to specifically hydrolyze fatty acids from their ester linkages to hydroxy groups of 3-hydroxyfatty acids, the latter being bound in turn to LPS glycosaminyl residues. The hydrolyzed fatty acids may include dodecanoic acid, tetradecanoic acid and hexadecanoic acid. This enzyme showed a molecular weight by gel exclusion chromatography between about 50,000 Daltons and about 70,000 Daltons. Altered bacterial LPS substantially without fatty acids bound in ester linkage to hydroxy groups of 3-hydroxyfatty acids covalently linked to a glucosaminyl moiety of LPS lipid A are produced. Since the structure of the lipid A moiety is highly conserved, acyloxyacyl hydrolase may act on LPS of many different pathogenic bacteria (for example Salmonella, Escherichia, Hemophilus, and Neisseria). Such altered bacterial LPS, having toxicity reduced more than immunostimulatory activity, may be therapeutically useful: (1) as vaccines to prevent Gram-negative bacterial diseases by inducing antibodies to LPS 0-polysaccharide or R-core antigens, (2) as antidotes to treat or prevent Gram-negative bacterial sepsis ("septic shock"), or (3) as adjuvants to enhance formation of antibodies to other antigens. The acyloxyacyl hydrolase itself may be prophylactically or therapeutically useful to detoxify endogenous LPS in patients with Gram-negative bacterial diseases. The enzyme may also be used to remove toxic LPS from therapeutic injectants.

Title: Process for extending the resolution of a line or matrix camera
IPC: G01B11/02
Filed: 1987-09-18
Granted: 1991-12-11
Abstract: Process and device for extending the resolution of a line or matrix camera comprising an electronic evaluation circuit. During imaging of a non-transparent object by the transmitted light process onto the semi-conductor picture-taking unit of such a camera, and during digitalization of the grey values on a shadow fringe, an interpolation is made between the two image elements concerned by this fringe transition. For this an electronic evaluation circuit is used which comprises at least two parallel shift registers, a hardware calculating circuit with memory cells and a clock. In this way an extension of the resolution of a semi-conductor camera is extended by interpolation between the two image points of the shadow fringe transition, the first of which is located above and the second below a defined threshold or vice versa. This interpolation makes it possible to perform a propositional calculation relating to the position of a shade structure, or any light/dark distribution in a resolution lying above the local frequency of the picture-taking unit. This calculation is performed with an ROM in which already a result is stored for each input combination possible, in order to then allow interpolation in the image element cycle.

Abstract: A warp-free laminate is produced by winding a first set of strands or filaments (34) about a flat mandrel with a second set of strands (36) being wound transverse to the first set. The two sets may be perpendicular to each other. The filaments are maintained under a controlled tension while being impregnated with a resin and during subsequent cure of the resin. In order to permit the formation of a warp-free product, the winding pattern is such that it forms a mirror image about a neutral axis or plane of symmetry. The winding pattern may be chosen to provide interstices in a predetermined pattern permitting punching out or high speed drilling of hole openings (106, 108, 110, 112, 114) for subsequent printed circuit applications. <IMAGE>

Title: Anti-retroviral agents and delivery systems for the same
IPC: A61K9/50
Filed: 1988-04-08
Granted: 1992-07-08
Abstract: The present invention provides a method for preventing or treating disease caused by retroviruses, particularly human immunodeficiency virus. Liposomes are prepared containing phosphorylated derivatives of nucleosides which act as chain-terminators of viral DNA. The phosphorylated nucleosides per se, without encapsulation in liposomes, do not readily enter cells. However, they are found to be effective if encapsulated in liposomes because they remain in liposomes longer, they do not escape easily from cells, and they constitute the active form for incorporation in viral DNA chains. When administered to a host, the liposomes are taken up by endocytic and phagocytic cells, which are important reservoirs of HIV infection. If coated with an appropriate ligand, such as an immunoglobulin molecule, liposomes containing the phosphorylated nucleosides can be directed to phagocytic cells, CD4-positive cells, or infected host cells.

Abstract: An isolating mount for connecting two parts or mechanisms includes a rigid bushing surrounded by a resilient block which includes closed cavities on opposite sides of said bushing located along a first plane parallel to the longitudinal axis of said bushing and a passage formed by pipes extending outside the mount between the cavities. A quantity of liquid fills the cavities and passage, providing a liquid column of predetermined inertia in the passage between the cavities for controlling the frequency and amplitude of forces transmitted through the bushing to provide tuning of the damping characteristics of the mount to preselected frequencies of vibration. A rigid outer body surrounds and contacts the block and exerts compressive force thereon substantially along the first plane. The bushing is connected to one of the two parts to be isolated and the outer body is connected to the other of the two parts. A fitting in the passage permits modification of the condition of the liquid, as by injection of liquid under predetermined pressure in the closed liquid damping circuit of the mount. Also disclosed are systems in which the effective length or diameter of the passage can be changed. Arrangements for interactively controlling such liquid injection, for example in response to engine or vehicle operating conditions, are also disclosed, along with (optionally) adjusting the opening of a metering valve connected to control flow in the passage.

Abstract: This invention relates to a tubular stretching method for producing a stretched film by passing a tubular thermoplastic resin film between nip rollers having mutually different peripheral speeds and inflating the tube by the internal pressure under heating and a stretching apparatus to be employed therefor. The nip rollers consist at least of three sets of nip rollers, i.e. nip rollers R1 on the introduction side, nip rollers R2 at fold end portion after stretching and take-up nip rollers R3. A slit-like compressed air jet nozzle is disposed in the gap between a pair of rollers R2 and compressed air is jetted from this nozzle into a stretch portion bubble generated between R1 and R2 so as to inflate and stretch the bubble under heating. In this instance the compressed air is controlled either manually or automatically by sensing the bubble diameter in order to keep a desired bubble diameter, whenever necessary. After stretching, the tubular film is folded by a folding apparatus and is then guided into the nip rollers R2 and its both ends are cut open into two flat films by a film opening knife disposed inside or outside the nozzle between the nip rollers R2. Each flat film is then guided to right and left guide rollers and is taken up by the nip roller R3 after the slit-like jet nozzle and knife are withdrawn. The apparatus of the present invention can adjust either manually or automatically the bubble diameter and the inner pressure during tube stretching operation and can be used advantageously for tubular stretching of porous films.

Granted: 1993-05-05
Abstract: Process for removing organic compounds from water, especially drinking water, by oxidation with hydrogen peroxide and flocculation using iron(3) salts in excess so that the organic compounds are oxidized by the hydrogen peroxide. This oxidation is promoted catalytically by iron(3) hydroxide which is produced by oxidation of the divalent iron by the hydrogen peroxide. The iron(3) hydroxide flocculates out and binds part of the organic compounds and oxidation products by adsorption so that the latter likewise flocculate out. Residual amounts of organic compounds are subsequently removed from the water using active carbon.
