Patent number: 9487624Abstract: The invention is directed to a method of increasing the chemical and/or thermal stability of PHA in biomass where the biomass is contained within mixed liquor, and wherein the mixed liquor is treated by a combination of removing water from the mixed liquor and pH adjustment of the mixed liquor or maintenance of the pH of the mixed liquor within a selected pH range, and wherein the method includes reducing the pH of the mixed liquor below 6, or maintaining the pH of the mixed liquor below 6 for a selected period of time, and wherein the pH adjustment of the mixed liquor to below 6 or the maintenance of the pH of the mixed liquor below 6 gives rise to an increase in chemical and/or thermal stability of the PHA in the biomass.Type: GrantFiled: August 18, 2010Date of Patent: November 8, 2016Assignee: Veolia Water Solutions & Technologies SupportInventors: Alan Gideon Werker, Patric Jannasch, Peter Stig Tomas Johansson, Per Olof Gosta Magnusson, Franciscus Hubertus Jacobus Maurer

Patent number: 6680091Abstract: A medicament container for storing a liquid medicament, such as insulin, comprises a wall with at least two opposite portions made of a polymer material having a light transmission at 400 nm of at least 25%, a glass transition temperature above 50° C., and a density of 0.95 g/cm3 or more. The polymer material comprises at least 70% by weight of a copolymer material composed of aliphatic cyclic or bicyclic hydrocarbons with 5 to 7 membered ring or rings and ethylene or propylene. The container is substantially inert to the medicament and, because it is either transparent or at least includes at least two opposed transparent portions, it is possible visually to inspect the contents of the container to make sure that the medicament has not crystalized or polymerized. The walls of the container provide a good barrier against m-cresol/phenol/benzyl alcohol preservatives and water.Type: GrantFiled: December 16, 1997Date of Patent: January 20, 2004Assignee: Novo Nordisk A/SInventors: Thomas Buch-Rasmussen, Patric Jannasch, Erling Bonne Jørgensen

Patent number: 6482509Abstract: The present invention relates to a coating system, in particular to a coating system for articles where plastic materials slide against flexible rubber materials. The coating system is a silicone oil based coating having a viscosity of at least 200,000 centistokes, i.e. a high viscosity coating. The coating comprises in a preferred embodiment a silicone oil based block or graft copolymer, or segmented copolymer. Further the invention relates to a process of producing a component of an article coated as described above, comprising adding the coating material to the component material prior to molding and subsequently molding the component from the mixture, or molding the component from the component material and subsequently applying the coating material to the at least one surface of the component, as well as an article coated with a silicone oil based coating as defined above. Such an article is preferably a medical article, such as a container or an injection cylinder and a stopper.Type: GrantFiled: March 2, 1999Date of Patent: November 19, 2002Assignee: Novo Nordisk A/SInventors: Thomas Buch-Rasmussen, Patric Jannasch, Erling Bonne Jørgensen, Ib Johannesen, Sokol Ndoni, Nils Berg Madsen

Patent number: 6461334Abstract: The present invention relates to a medical article for containing a pharmaceutical protein preparation comprising at least a first component and a second component, having at least one surface coated with a coating to reduce the friction between the two components and to reduce the protein adsorption to the coating. The coating is a hydrophilic coating whereby the hydrophilicity of the surface of the coating as measured by the water contact angle is below 90°, and the long term static friction forces between the first and the second component are below 14 N. The coatings according to the present invention are especially suited for permanently coating in ternal surfaces of containers equipped with stoppers for storage and administration of liquid protein preparations, such as insulin preparations. The coating is preferably a silicon-containing coating, such as a poly(dialkyl siloxane) oil or copolymer.Type: GrantFiled: March 2, 1999Date of Patent: October 8, 2002Assignee: Novo Nordisk A/SInventors: Thomas Buch-Rasmussen, Patric Jannasch, Erling Bonne Jørgensen, Ib Johannesen, Sokol Ndoni

Publication number: 20020028387Abstract: A polymer gel electrolyte comprising a metal salt, a polymer, optionally a plasticizer, characterized in that the polymer comprises a carbon-hydrogen base chain having at least two reactive groups incorporated wherein the reactive groups have different reactivities. The polymer gel electrolyte neutralises a passivating layer in the form of waste products produced in the electrolyte phase by the metal salt and solvents. The decrease in the growth of the passivating layer provides a battery cell with a better effect and a longer life.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 20, 2000Publication date: March 7, 2002Inventors: Patrick Gavelin, Patric Jannasch

Patent number: 6033377Abstract: In an ampoule for a medicament the space accommodating the medicament is defined by an ampoule wall (1) a pierceable seal (5) closing one end of the ampoule and a piston (7) closing the other end of the ampoule. A metal containing fixation element (8) is secured to one of the parts defining the medicament accommodating space. A mixing element (9, 10) also containing a metal and having a density larger than 1,0 g/cm.sup.3 is movable in medicament accommodating space. At least one of the elements, the fixation element (8) and the mixing element (9, 10), can be attracted by a magnet, and at least one of these elements is a magnetic element, the magnetic strength being so that the mixing element (9, 10) can during normal handling of the ampoule be fixed relative to this ampoule by the magnetic attraction between the fixation element (8) and the mixing element (9, 10) but may be released from its fixed position by manual operation.Type: GrantFiled: February 3, 1998Date of Patent: March 7, 2000Assignee: Novo Nordisk A/SInventors: Thomas Buch Rasmussen, Patric Jannasch, Erling Bonne J.o slashed.rgensen
