Abstract: A device at properly aligns a user's hand when gripping a writing implement, such as pencil. The device includes four separate elements that combine in specific ways to grow and/or build a mature grasp. The device includes a base that is configure round the pencil and provides support for the user's fingers. A handle can releasably attach to the writing implement, providing support for the user's palm. A web support can be releasably attached to the handle, thereby stabilizing the user's thumb while gripping the writing implement. The device can also include an independent web positioner support that can be moved closer or towards the base depending on the separation needed. Advantageously, the grip device provides several stages to develop and build a mature grip pattern.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a lysosomal protein composition comprising a plurality of lysosomal proteins that are potentially diversely glycosylated according to a glycosylation pattern, wherein said glycosylation pattern has at least 45% paucimannosidic N-glycans; a method of manufacturing the lysosomal protein composition in a bryophyte plant or cell, and medical and non-medical uses of the lysosomal protein composition. E.g. the lysosomal protein can be ?-Galactosidase for the treatment of Fabry Disease or ?-Glucoceramidase for the treatment of Gaucher's Disease. The unique glycosylation results in improved therapeutic efficacy—surprisingly even without mannose-6-phosphate that is common for CHO cell produced lysosomal proteins.

Abstract: The invention relates to a hydrogen sensor with a radiation source, by means of which electromagnetic radiation is radiated onto a sensor medium, wherein the sensor medium has a transmission coefficient that varies as a function of the concentration of hydrogen in the environment of the sensor medium, and with a detector that detects at least a portion of the radiation transported through the sensor medium. The hydrogen sensor according to the invention is characterized by the fact that a reflector is provided that reflects the radiation transmitted through the sensor medium back to the sensor medium. The hydrogen sensor according to the invention is further characterized by the fact that the sensor medium incorporates clusters containing or consisting of a palladium alloy, yttrium, scandium, at least one lanthanide, at least one actinoide, tungsten oxide and/or vanadium oxide, and/or a mixture or compound of these materials.
