  • Patent number: 11925826
    Abstract: A dry sprinkler for a fire protection system having a configuration with one or more coupling arrangements for connection to a fluid supply piping of the system. The dry sprinkler structure further includes an inner surface and inner assembly to provide a preferred discharge performance. The dry sprinkler provides for a flow rate from the outlet of the sprinkler in accordance with the start pressure at the inlet of the sprinkler and the rated discharge coefficient, K factor, ranging between 16.8 GPM/PSIĀ½ and 33.6 GPM/PSIĀ½.

  • Publication number: 20220010292
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for the generation of compact Transcription Activator-Like Effector Nucleases (TALENs) that can efficiently target and process double-stranded DNA. More specifically, the present invention concerns a method for the creation of TALENs that consist of a single TALE DNA binding domain fused to at least one catalytic domain such that the active entity is composed of a single polypeptide chain for simple and efficient vectorization and does not require dimerization to target a specific single double-stranded DNA target sequence of interest and process DNA nearby the DNA target sequence. The present invention also relates to compact TALENs, vectors, compositions and kits used to implement the method.

  • Patent number: 9540623
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for increasing double-strand-break induced mutagenesis at a genomic locus of interest in a cell, thereby giving new tools for genome engineering, including therapeutic applications and cell line engineering. More specifically, the present invention concerns the combined use of TALEN or meganucleases with TREX2, especially under the form of single-chain proteins.

  • Publication number: 20130337454
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for increasing double-strand break-induced mutagenesis at a genomic locus of interest in a cell, thereby giving new tools for genome engineering, including therapeutic applications and cell line engineering. More specifically, the present invention concerns a method for increasing double-strand break-induced mutagenesis at a genomic locus of interest, leading to a loss of genetic information and preventing any scarless re-ligation of said genomic locus of interest by NHEJ. The present invention also relates to engineered endonucleases, chimeric or not, vectors, compositions and kits used to implement this method.
