  • Patent number: 8329435
    Abstract: A “one-step” process for production of peptides and other organic molecules which are both esters and also acetylated forms of the desired molecule. The ester may be a mono-ester, di-ester, or another poly-ester, complexed with a molecule for protecting the organic molecules in the digestive tract. The method allows simple adjustment of the delivery properties of the peptides produced, in particular adjustment or addition of lipiphilic tendencies. A therapeutic or nutrient made by this method comprises acetylated organic molecule esters, in particular an acetylated peptide ester or even an acetylated amino acid ester and demonstrates improved metabolic properties leading to increased efficiency for therapeutic and cosmetic purposes including oral, transdermal, sublingual, buccal, and topical administration.

  • Patent number: 8329841
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a photoreactive polymer that comprises a multi-cyclic compound in a main chain, and a polymerization method thereof. Since the photoreactive polymer according to the present invention comprises a multi-cyclic compound having a high glass transition temperature as a main chain, the thermal stability is excellent, and since the mobility of the main chain is relatively high as compared to that of an additional polymer, a photoreactive group can be freely moved in the main chain of the polymer. Accordingly, it is possible to overcome a slow photoreactive rate that is considered a disadvantage of a polymer material used to prepare an alignment film for known liquid crystal display devices.

  • Patent number: 8330365
    Abstract: A method for formation of a line pattern using a multiple nozzle head includes forming a cell region in which display cells with a height corresponding to a multiple of a line gap of nozzles provided to the multiple nozzle head are repeated in two dimensions; and forming different kinds of first and second line patterns alternatively repeated on the cell region by ink-jet printing using the multiple nozzle head. When the multiple nozzle head scans once, the first and second line patterns are formed at the same time under the condition that the height of the display cells and a gap between two associative line patterns are a multiple of the line gap of nozzles. This method may improve productivity by reducing the number of scans of the multiple nozzle head, and also decrease the possibility of open circuit occurring when forming a line pattern by ink jetting.
