  • CELL PENETRATING PEPTIDES FOR INTRACELLULAR DELIVERY OF MOLECULES
    Publication number: 20100099626
    Abstract: The present invention concerns cell-penetrating peptides which comprise an amino acid sequence consisting of GLX9WRAX9WRX1LX2RSLX9WX3X4X5X6X7X8 (SEQ ID No: 1), wherein X1 is A, L or G, X2 is W or none, X3 is R or K, X4 is K, L or S, X5 is L or K, X6 is R or W, X7 is K or S, and X8 is A, V or Q, and X9 is W, F or Y. These CPPs can be used as vectors for delivering nucleic acids and/or proteins and/or peptides to cells, in vitro or in vivo.

  • Nozzle device with flow restrictors used for multiphase fluid flow simulation in high temperature and pressurized mixing reactors
    Patent number: 7665887
    Abstract: A mixing apparatus has a chamber, a shaft extending into the chamber, a motor drivingly interconnected to the shaft, a nozzle support affixed to the shaft and extending outwardly therefrom within the chamber, and a nozzle having an interior passageway affixed to the nozzle support such that the nozzle moves in the chamber as the motor drivingly rotates the shaft. The chamber has a multi-phase fluid therein. A flow restrictor is affixed to an inner wall of said chamber so as to extend inwardly therefor. The flow restrictor is a plurality of flat panels arranged in spaced relation around the interior of the chamber and within a liquid phase of the multi-phase fluid.

    Abstract: A mixing apparatus has a chamber, a shaft extending into the chamber, a motor drivingly interconnected to the shaft, a nozzle support affixed to the shaft and extending outwardly therefrom within the chamber, and a nozzle having an interior passageway affixed to the nozzle support such that the nozzle moves in the chamber as the motor drivingly rotates the shaft. The chamber has a multi-phase fluid therein. The nozzle moves through the fluid such that fluid is channeled through the interior passageway at a same rate that the nozzle moves through the fluid. Another nozzle can be affixed to the nozzle support diametrically opposite to the nozzle.
