Publication number: 20210079037Abstract: The present invention relates to a light-switchable polypeptide. In particular, the present invention relates to a polypeptide comprising a light-responsive element, wherein the configuration (i.e. the configurational state) of the light-responsive element can be switched between a trans and cis isomer by irradiating the polypeptide with (a) particular wavelength(s) of light, and wherein the switch of said configuration alters the conformation and binding activity of said polypeptide to a ligand (e.g. molecule of interest). Also, the present invention comprises using said light-switchable polypeptide for isolating and/or purifying a molecule of interest. The present invention further provides an affinity matrix, an affinity chromatography column, and an affinity chromatography apparatus comprising the light-switchable polypeptide of the invention.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 9, 2018Publication date: March 18, 2021Applicant: TECHNISCHE UNIVERSITÄT MÜNCHENInventors: Arne SKERRA, Andreas REICHERT, Martin DAUNER

Patent number: 10533284Abstract: A method for operating a heating group subsystem of a machine for the production or treatment of a fibrous web. The heating group subsystem includes a first heating group and a last heating group and at least one additional heating group; in each case having at least one device that is heated with pressurized heating steam. Viewed in a direction of travel, the fibrous web is fed first through the first heating group, then through the at least one additional heating group, and thereafter through last heating group. The steam pressure of the heating steam of the at least one additional heating group is adjusted lower than the respective steam pressure of the heating steam of first heating group and of last heating group.Type: GrantFiled: November 17, 2017Date of Patent: January 14, 2020Assignee: Voith Patent GmbHInventors: Martin Dauner, Thomas Mack, Christoph Adams, Frank-Udo Schönborn

Patent number: 8152857Abstract: A tension-free elastic tape is used for the surgical treatment of female urinary incontinence. The tape has a textile structure that allows ingrowth of the tape into the connective tissue. On its longitudinal edges, the tape has edge threads (2, 4, 6, 8) that project from the textile structure of the tape and that especially facilitate a good primary anchoring of the tape in the tissue. The edge threads are firmly incorporated in the structure of the tape.Type: GrantFiled: January 28, 2011Date of Patent: April 10, 2012Assignee: Deutsche Institute fur Textil-und FaserforschungInventors: Martin Dauner, Erhard Müller, Heinrich Planck, Hans-Gerd Schmees, Diethelm Wallwiener

Patent number: 7192630Abstract: A disk consists of one or more plies or layers (1, 2, 3) which lie one on the other and which are connected to one another in their edge region (10) and consequently have a compression region (20) on their circumference (4). Such a disk is provided for the application and/or absorption of liquid or semisolid substances. In this case, the compression region (20) is provided at a radial distance (B) from the circumference (4) of the disk. Consequently, the material fibers directed outward from the compression region (20) are so long that they are not rigid, but, instead, are slightly flexible.Type: GrantFiled: April 28, 2003Date of Patent: March 20, 2007Assignee: Flawa AGInventors: Christoph Ziltener, Hans Heinimann, Ernst Werner, Joseph Mavely, Martin Dauner
